On December 12, diving Olympic champion Wang Han posted a video recording his trip to West Asia. According to her video, after a long journey of 27 hours, the Chinese swimming and diving teams participating in the World Short Pool Swimming Championships & Diving Invitational Finally arrived at their hotel in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
In the hotel, Olympic champion Quan Hongchan followed her brothers and sisters in line to check in, thinking that she was already very tired.
In the current situation, athletes often have to go abroad to compete in a big way and go through a long journey. Previously, the national table tennis team went to the Houston World Championships, which took up to 30 hours to arrive at the hotel at 3 a.m. local time.
This time, the swimming team and the diving team also had a similar experience, they set off at 6:00 a.m. Beijing time on December 11, flew from Beijing to Guangzhou, then transferred to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and then took a bus to Abu Dhabi, and arrived at the hotel in Abu Dhabi at 9:00 a.m. Beijing time the next day, that is, 5:00 a.m. local time.
The journey added up to 27 hours, very long, and it was only 5 a.m., and it was estimated that she was tired for Quan Hongchan, who was only 14 years old. Judging from the Reuters photos, the small body of Quan Hong Chan not only carries a school bag, but also pushes an oversized suitcase.
In the video posted by Wang Han, Quan Hongchan was still clutching her suitcase and queuing up to check in after arriving at the hotel. After all, there are many people in boxes, and it is easy to take the wrong one if you don't pay attention to it, and although Quan Hongchan is young but has strong independent ability, she guards her own belongings very tightly, and also allows people around to worry about it.
This trip to West Asia is Quan Hongchan's second time to go abroad after the Tokyo Olympic Games, and she will partner Lian Junjie to perform a mixed doubles exhibition match, which is a rare participation experience, there will be many new experiences, and it will help to increase the experience of international competitions. I hope that Quan Hong Chan will have a good rest and enjoy this invitational tournament to the fullest.
