Four-time Olympic diving gold medallist Shi Tingmao has revealed her struggles with depression, joining US gymnastics superstar Simone Biles in openly discussing her mental health at the Tokyo Games.
China’s Shi comfortably won the 3m springboard title on Sunday (Aug 1) for her second gold in Japan but cut a tearful figure in the immediate aftermath at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre.
The 29-year-old later said she had considered quitting diving after her form dipped last year.
