On December 20, Beijing time, after the FINA diving exhibition match, Chinese young player Quan Hongchan chatted with FINA president Hussein Al Musalam, who personally interviewed Quan Hongchan. Able to answer in English, Quan Hong chan tried to speak English as much as possible, compared with the shy girl in the past, the now 14-year-old Quan Hong Chan became confident and generous. However, a high praise from Mu Salam made Quan Hongchan shy.
Quan Hongchan and the Chinese team participated in the exhibition match, and after the final 6 rounds of competition, the Chinese team won the bronze medal, the Brazilian team won the gold medal, and the British team won the silver medal. Although the Chinese team lost gold, Quan Hongchan's performance was very good, she participated in 2 rounds of competitions, which were the highest scores in the whole game.
In fact, the Chinese team can stand on the podium, all thanks to the whole red Chan! In the jump of the single ten-meter platform, Quan Hongchan jumped 79.5 points, and then she jumped 86.4 points in the mixed doubles ten-meter platform partner Li Zheng, helping the Chinese team that was originally behind in the score to stand on the podium.
Quan Hong Chan was very popular, and even after the game, FINA President Hussein Al Musalam personally interviewed Quan Hong Chan. Mu salam asked how it felt to dive on the high platform of Quan Hongchan, and the Chinese Olympic champion was very realistic, laughing and saying, "Although it is a little scary, you still have to jump!" Moreover, Quan Hongchan tried to communicate with Mussalam in English as much as possible, showing a confident and generous side.
Musalaam said, "I hope to see you often in the future!" FINA is proud to have athletes like you. Hearing the other party say this, Quan Hongchan was shy. After all, such praise is highly rated.
Musalaam concluded – Happy New Year in advance!
Quan Hongchan's outstanding performance attracted attention, and The China Women's Daily voiced that because the competition of the Short Pool World Championships was held in the open sea, it was also jokingly called "jumping into the sea". Although it was the first time to "jump into the sea", Quan Hongchan still came up with a very stable play, and also showed her "splash disappearance technique" in the seawater.
