The National Diving Championships will be held in Shanghai from March 6 to 12, as part of the World Championships and Asian Games trials. It is worth mentioning that this competition is the debut of Quan Hongchan in 2022, and it is also the first official game that Chen Ruolin participated in after becoming the head coach of Quan Hongchan.
In the final of the women's 10-meter platform at the Tokyo Olympics, Quan Hongchan surprised the world with a perfect performance of three full points in the five jumps, and the 14-year-old Guangdong girl also became the new "genius girl" on the jumping platform. It was also from then on that Quan Hongchan became the focus of attention in the Chinese sports world, every move inside and outside the field will attract countless attention, and Quan Hongchan's report card in 2021 is also perfect, from the Olympic Games to the National Games, Quan Hongchan proved her strength with two single gold medals in the fierce competition. However, in the women's platform jumping event of "becoming famous early", it may be more difficult to maintain peak form than climbing. As you age, the inevitable physical development is a challenge that every female diver faces, and the same is true for Quan Hongchan. However, now that Olympic champion Chen Ruolin is the head coach of Quan Hongchan in the national team, the combination of strong and powerful mentors and apprentices undoubtedly makes people have more expectations for Quan Hongchan's future performance.
In the Chinese diving team with the title of Dream Team, Olympic champions are not uncommon, but they can have gold medals in three consecutive Olympic Games, and Chen Ruolin can be regarded as a legend among legends. At the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and the 2012 London Olympic Games, Chen Ruolin not only partnered Wang Xin and Wang Hao to win the gold medal in the women's double ten meter platform, but also won the women's single ten meter platform championship, and in the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, Chen Ruolin joined hands with a new generation of athletes Liu Huifeng to win the double ten meter platform project again. Able to compete in the Chinese diving team for three consecutive Olympic Games, and all of them have gold medals, Chen Ruolin is a rare "evergreen tree" among Chinese women's platform jumpers, and she is undoubtedly the most vocal about how to smoothly pass through the growth and development period. In fact, after the 2012 London Olympic Games, Chen Ruolin also suffered from the problem of development, and even in the 2013 National Games, she did not win the women's single 10-meter platform medal, but she did not choose to retire, but explored a way to seek balance in growth and development and technological breakthroughs. The almost strict self-management and effective training methods allowed Chen Ruolin to finally step onto the field of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and once again win the double ten meter platform championship.
Today, these experiences are undoubtedly the most valuable asset of Chen Ruolin, who has transformed into a coach, as Guangdong coach He Weiyi said, "The problems that Quan Hongchan may encounter in the future, Chen Ruolin has experienced, and she has overcome them very well." For the 14-year-old Quan Hongchan, Tokyo in 2021 has given her diving career a rather amazing starting point, but if she wants to continue this diving road a little longer and create more glory, she will have many difficulties to face in the future, and on this road, Chen Ruolin is undoubtedly a good leader, which is a strong combination of Olympic gold medal masters and apprentices, and also gives people reason to have more hopes and expectations for the future of Quan Hongchan.
