On April 3, Beijing time, CCTV reported on the Chinese diving team training test match, aiming to examine how the players maintained their state after several months of rest. It is worth mentioning that the Chinese diving team has just made personnel adjustments, there are currently a total of 18 team members, most of whom are still old faces, but veterans like Wang Han and Shi Tingmao have basically faded out of the national team, and Chen Aisen, Zhang Jiaqi and others may also leave in the future. In this test match, a total of 17 team members participated, but the much-anticipated Quan Hongchan was unexpectedly injured and absent, and the reporter photographed her appearing in the stands.
In the women's 10m platform event, Chen Yuxi performed best and won the championship smoothly. However, compared with Quan Hongchan, Chen Yuxi's overall strength is still slightly weaker, and when it comes to the official arena, Hongjie will definitely be the main player of the Chinese team to impact the women's 10-meter platform. The other two Olympic champions, Ren Qian and Zhang Jiaqi, also participated in the test match, and their results were not ideal, and there were obvious mistakes. It can be seen that with the increase of age, Ren Qian and Zhang Jiaqi's physical development speed has increased, resulting in the deformation of technical movements, and it is difficult to continue to compete in the 10-meter platform in the future, if they choose to stick to it, they must consider moving to the 3-meter board project.
However, in the 3-meter board event, many players who have focused on training from the beginning have shown great strength this time. For example, Quan Hongchan's sister Chen Yiwen won the championship in the women's 3m board event, and she will also form a duo with Chang Yani, which is expected to be the absolute main force of the Chinese team in the future Olympic cycle. In the men's event, Wang Zongyuan is the 3-meter board overlord, Cao Yuan also has a certain competitiveness, And Lian Junjie and Yang Hao will be the two main players in the 10-meter platform event, and they are also double partners. Among them, the post-00 sports training Junjie is inexperienced, the performance of the competition is not stable, last year's diving exhibition competition, he dragged the whole team back, this time also lost to teammate Yang Hao, the future also need to further improve the psychological quality.
This is the first time that the Chinese diving dream team has entered 2022, because before that, the last time most athletes appeared in the official competition was already during the National Games. After nearly half a year of rest, some athletes have not found the state, which is also a very normal thing, the key is to have confidence and be willing to make an effort. For the performance of the athletes, Zhou Jihong clearly said that she was not very satisfied, and hoped that in the next winter training, she could see everyone make progress. At present, the main task of the Chinese diving team is to prepare for the Asian Games, and it is believed that the status of the team members will be significantly improved.
Among several veterans who have retired from the national team, Shi Tingmao has obtained a coaching qualification certificate and obtained an entry permit from the Chongqing Municipal Sports Bureau, and she will continue to appear in the diving arena as a coach, which also means that she has officially retired. Of course, Shi Tingmao will start from the local area, and whether she enters the national team in the future depends on her specific development. The 30-year-old Shi Tingmao has won 4 Olympic gold medals and formed a partnership with a number of diving devils, which can be called a Chinese diving legend. And Shi Tingmao's teammate Chen Ruolin at that time has officially entered the national team coaching team as the head coach of Quan Hongchan.
