Recently, the national diving team is conducting an intra-team test match, we are familiar with Chen Yuxi, Zhang Jiaqi and other team members have appeared on the field, and Quan Hongchan is because of injuries, temporarily staying in the stands to cheer for teammates. What is surprising is that the five famous players who also represented the Chinese team in the Olympic Games half a year ago have disappeared into the main squad list, and 4 of them are Olympic champions. The most familiar to the outside world are Wang Han and Shi Tingmao, two veterans, who are both over thirty years old and take this opportunity to officially bid farewell to the field.
After the renewal, most of the athletes of the Chinese diving team are young people in their early 20s, while Chen Yuxi, Zhang Jiaqi and Quan Hongchan are only 10-year-old youngsters, who are also the main players of the women's 10-meter platform. And Rio Olympic champion Ren Qian, because of physical development and other obstacles, basically lost competitiveness, although still playing in the national team, but it is difficult to get on the international stage, most of the time can only serve as a sparring partner. In terms of the men's team, Lian Junjie and Yang Hao will get more opportunities, Cao Yuan and Wang Zongyuan will pick up the beams in the new period, and Chen Yiwen, Chang Yani and other players will also become the main force.
Among the 5 athletes who have retired from the national team, Wang Han and Shi Tingmao have just won the championship in Tokyo, both of which have persisted for many years and are the elders of the Chinese diving team's nearly two Olympic cycles. Among them, Shi Tingmao won 4 Olympic gold medals, and Wang Han finally realized his dream of Tokyo after waiting for many years, and his career basically had no regrets, and fans also bid farewell with tears. After leaving the stadium, Shi Tingmao will go to the Chongqing Sports Bureau to work, mainly as a coach. Wang Han is outstanding in appearance, tall and tall, with a good image and temperament, she will switch to the media industry as a game commentator for the national team, and the two have officially announced their retirement.
According to the news of "Beiqing Daily", in addition to the retirement of Wang Han and Shi Tingmao, Chen Aisen, Xie Sibei and Yang Jian will leave the national team, as to whether these three people have retired is still unknown, it is worth mentioning that the above 5 far mobilization, 4 are Olympic champions, one time to give up 5 powerful team members, it can be seen that Zhou Jihong, who is known as the "Iron Lady", is indeed not a vain name. Of course, after the start of the new Olympic cycle, the above 5 players are facing the problem of increasing age, even if they persist until 2024, they are all veterans of about 30 years old, and it is difficult to compete with young players. Therefore, simply take this opportunity to directly update the generation, which is the courage that Zhou Jihong, as the leader of the diving dream team, should have, and believe that her choice will not be wrong.
One thing is certain, the future core of the Chinese diving team will be Quan Hongchan, as for Zhang Jiaqi and Chen Yuxi, the former has little hope of participating in the Paris Olympic Games, because according to the news, Zhang Jiaqi's future focus will be on academics, and it is difficult to say whether he will quit the national team in the future. Therefore, Quan Hong chan will be the number one person on the women's 10-meter platform and the absolute core of the national team. In the double event, Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi, the two best team members of the 10-meter platform, will form a new partner, and Zhang Jiaqi's future direction is uncertain.
