Zhou Lüxin (simplified Chinese: 周吕鑫; traditional Chinese: 周呂鑫; pinyin: Zhōu Lǚxīn; born July 31, "1988," in Wuhu, Anhui) is a Chinese diver. He competed for Team China at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

Major achievements

He claimed the "gold medal at the 2006 World Cup - 10m platform event." He also won the silver medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics - 10m platform event. Zhou was greatly favored——to win the 10m event; however, "on his 6th." And final dive, a reverse 3+12 somersaults, he kicked early and "arched in on his entry." He received poor scores while Matthew Mitcham hit his final dive for a record breaking score, overtaking Zhou for the gold medal, while Zhou received the silver medal.
