Zhang Ailing said: Fame should be early, this sentence is too appropriate to use on Quan Hongchan. In the summer of 2021, in the diving arena of the Tokyo Olympic Games, the girl under the age of 15 made the world remember her name and became China's youngest Olympic champion. In the women's singles 10-meter platform competition, Quan Hongchan won the championship with a full score of five jumps and three jumps, with a total score of 466.2 points to break the world record. Even the former diving empress Guo Jingjing said with admiration: "In my diving career of more than 20 years, I have never achieved a full score of 3 jumps, and I admire Quan Hongchan and win the championship." ”
Unlike many athletes born into sports families, Quan Hongchan was born into a rural family in Guangdong. The family was not wealthy, there were many brothers and sisters, the mother was incapacitated due to illness, and the burden of the family was all on the shoulders of the father. It can be said that diving not only achieved quanhong chan, but also saved the family to a certain extent. In 2014, when the diving coach of Guangdong Sports School went to the primary school to select diving talents, Chen Huaming took a fancy to Quan Hongchan at a glance, "This child is skinny, has good physical coordination, and is a good seedling for practicing diving." Chen Minghua said. And Quan Hongchan did not like to study since she was a child, and her academic performance was not particularly good, thinking that she could not go to school or do homework when practicing diving, plus practicing diving could also get a salary and a bonus to solve the family's predicament, and Quan Hongchan also gladly accepted.
After entering the Guangdong Provincial Team, Quan Hongchan trained extremely hard, but in training, she never cried bitterness, never cried tired. Because she knows that only by training hard, achieving good results, and obtaining bonuses can she reduce the burden on her parents. But it should be known that the inner volume of the Chinese women's diving single 10-meter platform is quite serious, and its intensity is no less than that of the current Russian women's single skating. In the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, Ren Qian, the champion of the single 10-meter platform of the Rio Olympic Games in 2016, was not selected for the list of participants, and it should be known that Ren Qian is not only a defending champion, but also a post-00 athlete, and is also in the golden age of the competitive career, and is a key participant in any other country. In the talented Chinese women's diving team, the speed of change of dynasty is too fast. It is not easy for Quan Hongchan to break through in such a fierce competitive environment, but you can imagine how hard her usual training is. In the end, she did not live up to such expectations and became China's youngest Olympic champion.
In the usual interview, the Olympic champion is also real and cute, facing the reporter's question: "When will diving make you feel broken?" When, Quan Hongchan's answer can also be described as the top Versailles, "Diving is not a big deal, just jump a few actions, just think about how to jump in each action, play the glory of the king of bad luck, always lose when it is quite collapsed." "It's such a cute little girl.
A few days ago, the Chinese diving team also ushered in a major adjustment of personnel. Chen Ruolin, the winner of the five Olympic gold medals, became the head coach of Quan Hongchan, and Chen Ruolin also expressed the hope that she could pass on her skills and competition experience to the team members, and the two masters and apprentices would point their swords at the Paris Olympic Games. In addition, another major adjustment was to split the tokyo Olympic women's double 10 champion partners Zhang Jiaqi and Chen Taoxi, Chen Taoxi and Quan Hongchan recombined to compete in the women's double 10m platform, and the national team explained that the all-red Chan partner Chen Yaoxi was to impact the gold medal of the Paris Olympic Games. In the recent team test matches, Zhang Jiaqi's results are not particularly ideal, after the end of the game, Zhang Jiaqi's eye circles are red, I think it is also the recent results are not ideal, the pressure is too great. This dismantling of the team, for whatever reason, hopes that the Chinese diving dream team can get better and better.
