Recently, some media have paid attention to the latest development of the Chinese diving team, this team is the Chinese dream team, and in the Olympic Games for the Chinese sports delegation has won a lot of excellent results, for example, in the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games, the Chinese diving team won 7 gold medals and 5 silver medals, becoming the biggest winner of the Chinese sports delegation, and was nominated for the Lawrence Best Team Award, is expected to get a historic breakthrough in this award.
However, what makes many fans very helpless is that the reason why this excellent team has been able to achieve excellent results is mainly because the competition in the team is very fierce, many young players have not yet won the opportunity to compete and choose to retire, and even some excellent Olympic champions have lost their advantages in the competition in the team, and can only give way to more excellent players.
For example, Zhang Jiaqi, the Olympic champion, lost in the recent training list, and her double ten-meter jumping spot was taken away by Quan Hongchan, and in the next competition, Quan Hongchan and Chen Yaoxi formed a new partner to participate in various events. Zhang Jiaqi was very distressed by such a decision, she dedicated her youth to diving, although she is only 17 years old this year, she has already spent more than a decade on this project.
Zhang Jiaqi won the gold medal in the Olympic Games, but such a result could not satisfy her, but even if there were more grievances and unwillingness in her heart, it could not have any impact, after all, Zhou Jihong's team leader had already made the final decision. Recently, Quan Hongchan, a diver, also accepted an interview with the media, and when she talked about her good friend Zhang Jiaqi's imminent retirement, she said that the team was too much of a roll, and every player had paid their own efforts, one by one.
In such a competitive environment, the psychological pressure of the players will be very large, and Quan Hongchan is also trying to control their body shape, try not to be eliminated, no matter how hoping that in the time to come, the Chinese diving team can continue to move forward, but also hope that those eliminated divers do not slacken off, they still have a better tomorrow and future.
