After a successful battle at the Tokyo Olympics this summer, Quan Hongchan became one of the most watched players on the Chinese swimming team. Shortly after entering the preparation cycle for the Paris Olympics, she had a new head coach in charge of the national team. This coach is no one else, it is the Olympic hardware king Chen Ruolin.
Data chart: In the final of the women's 10-meter platform at the Tokyo Olympic Games, 14-year-old Quan Hongchan jumped three times in the competition and won the gold medal with excellent performance. Quan Hongchan is also the youngest athlete in the Chinese delegation at the Olympic Games.
According to Wen Wei Po, chen Ruolin has recently become the head coach of the national team of Quan Hongchan. For many viewers who like Chinese diving, this is a "dream linkage". In fact, the fate of the two people has already begun.
At this year's Tokyo Olympics, 14-year-old Jeon Hong-chan jumped three perfect marks in the five jumps of the final to win the championship with a total score of 466.2 points, which broke the all-time high score of the women's 10-meter platform competition. Interestingly, the previous record was set by Chen Ruolin at the Beijing Olympics.
At that time, Chen Ruolin witnessed this moment at the scene. At this time, Chen Ruolin was already a member of the FINA Diving Technical Committee, and her role at the Tokyo Olympics was "referee's referee". At the scene, Chen Ruolin was very happy to see her sister win the championship, and after the game, she sent a Weibo to call Quan Hongchan "idol".

After this battle, Quan Hongchan has become a hot person on social media, and her future development has also touched the hearts of many people. Now that Chen Ruolin has become her head coach, it may make many people breathe a sigh of relief.
The pair of new masters and apprentices who hold 6 Olympic gold medals in their hands are directly called "Wang Fried Combination" by netizens.
Although Chen Ruolin's qualifications as a coach are not very deep, they may be the most suitable mentors and apprentices for each other, because they walk the same path at different times.
He Weiyi, the head coach of Quan Hongchan in Guangdong, said in an interview: "The problems that Quan Hongchan may encounter in the future, Chen Ruolin has experienced, and she has overcome them very well. "Chen Ruolin, as the coach of Quan Hongchan, I am very happy and at ease."
For women's platform jumpers, physical development is largely the most difficult difficult to overcome in their careers. Because with the rise of height and weight, the space required for technical actions is greater, the strength requirements are higher, and even completing the same game action is much more difficult than in the past.

In the history of this event, there have been many young and famous players, and there are also many players who have greatly reduced their status due to physical development. Some players may transform into springboard players, and some players have since bid farewell to the high level of competition.
Under such circumstances, Chen Ruolin was able to participate in three consecutive Olympic Games in Beijing, London and Rio and won a total of 5 gold medals in the women's singles and doubles 10m platform events, which is legendary.
In such a process, Chen Ruolin herself has faced many difficulties. Before the Rio Olympics, multiple pressures such as age and injury made her breathless, and in her own words, she was "quite depressed.".

But she finally gritted her teeth and won the gold medal in the women's doubles 10m platform, which ended her career.
The young Quan Hongchan can be described as smooth sailing in this year's Olympic Games and National Games, but in the preparation cycle of the Paris Olympic Games, she may also encounter various difficulties, which is a reality that anyone in the field of competitive sports has to face.
And it is a blessing for her to have a coach who has broken through these difficulties step by step and achieved success.
In 2008, Chen Ruolin, who participated in the Olympic Games for the first time, was only 16 years old, and she was still very ignorant at that time, and finally won two gold medals with strong strength. At the Tokyo Olympics 13 years later, the girl standing on the 10-meter jumping platform was so similar to her.
In the final of the women's 10m platform at the Tokyo Olympics, 14-year-old Quan Hongchan jumped three times in the competition and won the gold medal with excellent performance.
And now, as a coach, she has the opportunity to help this girl, like her former self, flip and jump on the stage of many Olympic Games in a row, and win after the perfect water.
The mentor-apprentice duo has a total of 6 Olympic gold medals, and in the future, it is hoped that this number will be changed to 7, 8, 9... King fried combination, worth looking forward to! (Author Wang Hao)
