Young player Quan Hongchan became popular at the Tokyo Olympic Games and became the "new top stream" of Chinese sports, and in the 2021 elite list under 30 released by Forbes, the 14-year-old Quan Hongchan became the youngest person on the list. Before the Tokyo Olympics, she had fewer than 100,000 social media followers, while now she has 7.27 million followers on Douyin and 1.1 million followers on Weibo. At present, Quan Hongchan is participating in the diving exhibition competition of the 15th World Short Pool Swimming Championships in the United Arab Emirates, and it has been reported that Chen Ruolin, the five-time Olympic champion, will become the coach of Quan Hongchan. According to Wenhui Network, Chen Ruolin will serve as the head coach of Quan Hongchan in the national team! Chen Ruolin, who has successfully overcome the "development barrier" and participated in three consecutive Olympic Games, has long experienced the problems that Quan Hongchan will encounter in the follow-up, and she is known for "self-discipline and restraint" to guide Quan Hongchan, which is conducive to changing some of the "bad habits" of the little girl, so that she has more shortcuts to overcome the difficulty of development!

Quan Hong Chan suffered a "development pass" and has soared by 7 centimeters in most of the year
At the time of the all-red Chan fire, known as the "diving genius", there are also many people in the industry who are calmly examining her success and subsequent development. Quan Hongchan's previous head coach He Weiyi had worried about whether Quan Hongchan could still guarantee follow-up results after entering a period of rapid development.
And the "Diving Empress" Gao Min has also written before: "The biggest difficulty (Quan Hongchan) is that she is still very young and has not yet developed. She was about to grow her body, to start growing tall and weight. At this stage, it is particularly difficult for female athletes. She will face a different window period, if she goes to practice strength during the window of practicing technology, then her technology cannot develop; if she goes to practice technology during the window period of practicing strength, then she is easily injured. When her strength and technique don't match, she goes into a vicious circle. During the growth and development period and the alternation of technical forces, it is like walking a tightrope for the little girl. ”
Quan Hongchan's hair has grown and her height has grown
In the history of Chinese diving, there have indeed been many outstanding divers who have bid farewell to the peak early because of the problems of height and weight gain brought about by the development period, and the 2016 Rio Olympic champion Ren Qian is also because of her growing body, resulting in only 5th place in the 2020 Olympic Qualification Tournament, and missed the Tokyo Olympic Games. Athens Olympic champion Lauris also failed to pass the "development barrier" and led to a decline in strength, early withdrawal from the national team, these examples are very regrettable. Quan Hong chan's sister Quan Hong Tao is also currently practicing diving, although she is only 12 years old, but Quan Hong Chan's development period is earlier than Quan Hong Chan. At the time of the Tokyo Olympics, Quan Hong Chan was only 1 meter 43, while the full red peach had reached 1 meter 6, so although she bounced as powerfully as her sister in the process of practicing diving, the aerial movements were not as light as her sister, and the splash was often not beautiful enough.
And the situation that Ho Wei-yi and Gao Min feared has arrived — what many people don't know is that in the months after the Tokyo Olympics, Quan Hongchan's height has soared. When she returned to the national team in October, she was obviously different from the Tokyo Olympics, and already had the appearance of a young girl, and it is reported that in the past six months, Quan Hong chan has grown 7 centimeters taller, which means that many of her technical moves need to be modified, or even retrained!
Chen Ruolin insisted on not eating dinner and snacks for five years during the development period
At present, Quan Hongchan has gone to the United Arab Emirates with the Chinese diving team to participate in the diving exhibition competition of the 15th World Short Pool Swimming Championships. On December 15, according to Wenhui Network, diving star Chen Ruolin has been confirmed to be the head coach of Quan Hongchan in the national team. According to the Red Star News reporter, before Quan Hongchan went to the United Arab Emirates, Chen Ruolin had already trained her for three weeks. However, because this time in the United Arab Emirates is a diving exhibition match, not a major competition, so Chen Ruolin is not with the team, after Quan Hongchan returns to China, Chen Ruolin will guide her to the national team for winter training, fully prepared for next year's World Championships.

Quan Hongchan's previous head coach He Weiyi has been promoted to the head coach of the Guangdong diving team, he believes that Chen Ruolin as the head coach of Quan Hong Chan will help Quan Hong Chan's follow-up development, "Quan Hong Chan will encounter problems in the future, Chen Ruolin has experienced, and she overcame well, so she can participate in three Olympic Games and win five gold medals." Chen Ruolin is very self-disciplined, self-management is very good, is a role model for Quan Hongchan to learn, and their technical characteristics are also very similar! ”
Like Quan Hongchan, Chen Ruolin also ascended to the throne of the world championship at the age of 14 - in 2006, 14-year-old Chen Ruolin competed in the Diving World Cup and won the gold medal in the women's double 10m platform with Jia Tong. Two years later, at the Beijing Olympics, she successfully won two gold medals in the 10m jump single and double events. Chen Ruolin also encountered the "development pass" after becoming famous, and her national team teammates of the same age, Jia Tong, Yuan Peilin and other diving flowers were prematurely withered because of development problems, and among the female players of the Chinese diving team, only Chen Ruolin successfully broke through the bottleneck of the development period. He Weiyi said that Chen Ruolin was "very self-disciplined and self-managed very well" means that at that time, she was hungry and tired during the development period and resolutely did not eat dinner and snacks to avoid excessive fat production. After minimizing the impact of development, Chen Ruolin became the first athlete to defend her title in the 10m platform single and double events at the London 2012 Olympic Games. At the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, Chen Ruolin won the women's doubles 10m platform championship again. After becoming the Olympic hardware queen, she chose to retire.
And Quan Hongchan is still young, although she is hard and hardworking in training, she is after all at the age of the little girl's greed. Coach He Weiyi once said that Quan Hongchan does have the "bad habit" of loving snacks, and spicy strips, sweets, and cola are her favorites. At the previous Shaanxi National Games, the outside world can also see Quan Hong chan through the TV camera for a while spicy strips, a moment of ham sausage, and eat happily. This is normal for ordinary girls with long bodies, but it is a "big enemy" for divers. Now Chen Ruolin is the head coach of Quan Hong chan, which is conducive to using her own experience and examples to guide Quan Hong Chan to learn self-discipline, which will be very critical for the 14-year-old Xiaohua, so that she will not ruin her sports career because of some bad habits, and there will be more opportunities to create brilliance in the future.
