Xie Sibei and Wang Zongyuan respectively won the single three-meter board championship and runner-up, so how did the two diving athletes embark on the road of diving? In this issue, the Ziya Children's Fun Sports Observer will lead everyone into the growth path of the world diving champion and runner-up.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="14" > have good congenital conditions from an early age</h1>
Xie Sipi was born on March 28, 1996 in Shantou City, Guangdong Province, the family he was born into was a very happy family of four, Xie Sibei's original life was step by step forward, he grew up under the care of his parents and sister.
Until 2002, when Xie Sibei was in the first grade of primary school, the coach of a gymnast selected some gymnasts from the children of the five classes of the first grade, and at that time, more than ten children were selected, including Xie Sibei, who was very introverted, but the coach chose him, and the coach thought that his innate conditions were very good, so Xie Sibei was sent to the diving team of the municipal sports school to participate in the relevant training together with other students.
At that time, Xie Sibei trained very hard every day, not only needed to train diving, but also actively learned cultural classes, it was winter, Xie Sibei's father saw his son soaking in ice water every day was very distressed, but the son said that he wanted to continue practicing, he could not say anything as a father, so the father insisted on sending his son to participate in training at five o'clock in the morning, rain or shine for half a year.
Later, Xie Sipi was selected into the provincial diving team because of his good performance, and his father even sold all his clothing factory in order to let Xie Sipi concentrate on diving, just to take care of his son wholeheartedly, and every week the father would come to Guangzhou to visit his son.
Later, Xie Sibei successfully entered the national team, and the time for his father to meet with Xie Sipi became less and less, and Xie Sibei also began to participate in various diving competitions.
In 2013, when Xie Sibei was preparing for the Youth Olympic Games, he accidentally had a broken ankle and needed to have an operation, Xie Sibei told everyone that he was only going to do a small operation in order not to worry the people around him, but this operation lasted for a total of six or seven hours, the doctor punched three nails in his foot, and then when preparing for the Rio Olympics, Xie Sibei's injury recurred again, and he could only rub shoulders with the Olympics.
The pain made Xie Sibei fall into an unstable mood, and he even doubted whether he should not choose diving, but he still couldn't bear to give up his dream of diving, so only half a year after the operation, Xie Sibei returned to the training ground again.
The family can only silently support Xie Sipi behind their backs, they dare not mention anything related to injury, because they are afraid that Xie Sibei will be stressed, and Xie Sibei also knows that his family is thinking about himself, do not want to affect his training, and Xie Sipi, who started again, won countless championships all the way, he finally found his best state again, and in 2020, he was successfully selected for the diving national team list of the Tokyo Olympic Games, and began to prepare for his first Olympic trip.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="43" > start swimming under the influence of his father</h1>
Wang Zongyuan's enlightenment to learn diving is his father, October 24, 2001, Wang Zongyuan was born in Xiangcheng District, Xiangyang City, Hubei Province, his father is a tractor factory employee, not only that, his father is also a swimming enthusiast, very obsessed with swimming, so from an early age, Wang Zongyuan was taken to the Han River by his father to swim.
When Wang Zongyuan was four years old, he learned to swim, is a full diving good seedling, at the age of seven Wang Zongyuan entered the Hubei Provincial Diving School to start formally learning diving, when the Wuhan Institute of Physical Education graduated Zhang Yonggang coach with Wang Zongyuan, he found that Wang Zongyuan has a better than other children's determination.
Due to the excellent congenital conditions, coupled with Wang Zongyuan's love for swimming is no less than his father, Wang Zongyuan successfully won three gold medals in the provincial competition when he was ten years old, and has since been successfully selected into the Hubei diving team for further training.
Later, in 2017, Wang Zongyuan was selected for the national team, and China's national diving team was known as the "diving dream team", so the training pressure of the diving team can be imagined, at that time, Wang Zongyuan could not return home once in several years, and as a parent, he naturally wanted his son, but the parents could only bear to miss it in order not to disturb their son's training.
Every time I see the injuries on my son's body, as a mother, I always secretly cry, and I want to continue to cheer for my son after crying, and Wang Zongyuan is also very angry, winning many medals and never disappointing the people around him, even if he is injured, he does not care, when he participated in the ten-meter diving of the Youth Games in 2015, he accidentally injured his wrist, and until now he is still recovering.
Because Wang Zongyuan's ability is particularly strong, the general diver can only walk on the springboard at the age of twenty, but Wang Zongyuan has performed well, so Wang Zongyuan has embarked on the springboard in advance, and Wang Zongyuan has also lived up to expectations, and in a very short period of time, he has found the feeling of unity of the man and board required by the coach, and Wang Zongyuan has also begun to officially impact various national competitions.
In June 2018, Wang Zongyuan participated in the National Diving Championships and Asian Games Selection Competition, and successfully won the third place in the one-meter board, and in the same year, Wang Zongyuan's partner Wu Luxian won the fifth place in the men's doubles three-meter board at the 2018 Diving World Junior Championships.
After that, Wang Zongyuan became more and more courageous, and only a year later, he partnered Wu Luxian again and won the men's three-meter board of the FINA Diving World Series in London, and in a year's time, Wang Zongyuan improved by leaps and bounds, and his coach was also very optimistic about him.
Because Wang Zongyuan is very young, his career has just begun, for Wang Zongyuan, with his strength and his own quality, he can jump to the age of twenty or thirty, so one day Wang Zongyuan won the world championship is not a problem at all, Wang Zongyuan's excellent performance finally let him wait for this opportunity.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="45" > the two worked together to win the Olympic gold medal</h1>
In July 2021, Wang Zongyuan was successfully selected into the list of male athletes in China's diving project, and in this Olympic Games, he wanted to participate in the diving of the men's double three-meter board of the Tokyo Olympic Games with Xie Sibei, and also participated in the single competition of the men's three-meter board with Xie Sibei.
The two men were equal rivals and close teammates, which was a very novel challenge for both boys who were participating in the Olympics for the first time. The first thing to do was the double board competition, the two played steadily and perfectly coordinated, and successfully advanced to the final of the three-meter board.
In the final of the three-meter board on July 28, the two people successfully won the gold medal, once again proving to the world the absolute strength of the "Chinese Diving Dream Team", and Xie Sibei also won the first gold medal of the Olympic Games for Guangdong Province, which was the first time that the two people won the championship, which was the significance of this gold medal for Xie Sibei, because he waited for nine years, and this time he could finally make up for the regret of not being able to participate in the Rio Olympic Games before.
Later, on August 3, in the men's single three-meter board final, Xie Sibei once again scored 558.75 points with a perfect performance, successfully winning the championship and winning the thirtieth gold for China, while Wang Zongyuan followed closely behind, winning the runner-up of the game and winning a valuable silver medal, and both proved themselves.
After the game, two five-star red flags rose on the field, and when the national anthem sounded throughout the stadium, Xie Sipi burst into tears, and this introverted person was finally completely released after proving himself. In the double three-meter board final of the National Games in August, the two once again cooperated tacitly to win the championship strongly, and Xie Sibei also became the double gold king and double gold king of the Chinese diving team.
Xie Sibei and Wang Zongyuan both have the full support of their families on the road of diving, I think this is also the motivation for two people to stick to it, what do you want to say about these two Olympic champions? Feel free to leave a message in my comments section.
