On April 8, Beijing time, the recent internal test match of the diving team has begun to play the Olympic champion in an all-round way, and Quan Hongchan is injured and has not participated in the competition, but has also been training physically. The diving team made a major adjustment, 5 of the 10 Olympic champions of the Winter Olympics have left the team, most of them have chosen to retire, while the relatively young Zhang Jiaqi is still in the team, but she has lost her main event.
In an interview with CCTV, Zhou Jihong has confirmed that at present, for the Olympic champion combination of the 10-meter jumping platform and the double partner, Zhang Jiaqi Chen Taoxi has officially dismantled the partnership, and Quan Hongchan has replaced Zhang Jiaqi to partner with Chen Taoxi. Quan Hongchan and Chen Taoxi became the first-place combination, And Zhang Jiaqi needed to partner with a new partner, which meant that in the Paris Olympic Cycle, Quan Hongchan and Chen Taoxi's 10-meter jumping platform single and double seed players in the two events, Zhang Jiaqi could only rank behind them.
When interviewed by CCTV, Zhang Jiaqi had tears in her eyes, looking very disappointed and sad, but also accepted such a reality, she clearly said that her current strength is indeed worse than Quan Hongchan and Chen Taoxi, and she can only rely on herself to train hard until it is replaced, but there are still some losses. Zhang Jiaqi has encountered difficulties in physical development since last year, and her body is slightly fat, which makes her inferior to Chen Yaoxi and Quan Hongchan in doing some movements, which is why she was eventually replaced by Quan Hongchan in the single project, and now the double project has also been replaced, which makes her very uncomfortable.
However, Quan Hongchan and Zhang Jiaqi both admitted that this is the result of the talent inward roll of the Chinese diving team, because talents are endless, everyone is under greater pressure, quan hongchan now also feels a huge crisis, and she has begun to develop. She made it clear that she is now very worried about her next development problems, and has set a goal for herself, and she must control her weight and maintain her level to avoid elimination. For Zhang Jiaqi, the door to the Paris Olympics is not completely closed to her now, but it is indeed more and more difficult for her to compete. Next, there are more young players who are about the same age as Quan Hongchan, enter the team, and start to attack the national team from the provincial team, and no one can guarantee that there will be no next Quan Hongchan.
Therefore, in such a situation, whether it is Quan Hongchan or Zhang Jiaqi, they are facing the difficulties of waiting for no time, and they need to work hard to overcome their own concept of development and strive to become a real winner in this cycle.
