The Chinese diving team is a dream team, and at the Tokyo Olympic Games, it won 7 gold and 5 silver, which makes people very proud. However, the diving team's roster changes after each Olympics, mainly in preparation for the next Olympic cycle. Previously, the lineup of the Chinese diving team has undergone great changes on the Internet, such as Wang Han, Shi Tingmao and other veterans will choose to retire, and Quan Hongchan will have a more important role. Now, the official announcement has come, and the diving team has been reorganized and entered a new era.
According to the official document of the Olympic Games, the Chinese diving dream team has been formed, and the Chinese diving team in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games cycle has begun to take shape.
First, Shi Tingmao + Wang Han chose to retire and transform into a coach
Shi Tingmao is a Grand Slam winner, 31 years old this year, winning 4 Olympic gold medals, 6 World Cup titles and 7 World Championship titles. It is reported that Shi Tingmao has decided to serve as an assistant coach of the national team, assisting Zhou Jihong. And Wang Han chose to return to the provincial team as a coach, which also made people sigh. Wang Han is an admirable veteran, in the national team for many years, conscientious, now, but has not been able to continue to stay in the team, I hope Wang Han's work in the provincial team is smooth.
Second, Xie Sibei, Chen Aisen and Yang Jian have not yet decided whether to retire and withdraw from the national team
The three world champions, Xie Sipi, Chen Aisen and Yang Jian, are already veterans, and after the Tokyo Olympics, they basically did not have the opportunity to participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics, and the Chinese diving team needs to keep the lineup young. It is reported that Xie Sidney and Chen Aisen temporarily faded out of the national team, and they may continue to represent their provincial teams in the competition. And Yang Jian will also return to the provincial team to recuperate and adjust, that is to say, the three of them have no intention of retiring.
Third, Shi Tingmao and Wang Han's successors were determined
Shi Tingmao and Wang Han are golden partners, the two are invincible in the world competition, and their combination is also very tacit. After Shi Tingmao and Wang Han retired, they also needed to find a successor, and in the 3-meter board event, Chen Yiwen and Chang Yani were finally selected to become the main athletes of the future national team women's 3 meters board and will participate in international competitions. Chen Yiwen is 23 years old and still very young, while Chang Yanni is only 20 years old this year, and she and Chen Yiwen won the 2021 Tokyo Diving World Cup women's doubles 3m board championship.
And quan hongchan, who has attracted much attention, she has decided to replace Zhang Jiaqi and play in the 10-meter platform doubles competition, but also take into account the single competition, the task is very heavy. In order to avoid being eliminated, in an interview, Quan Hongchan once said bluntly that she had to control her weight, and the competition in the diving team was too big to dare to have the slightest relaxation. In the future, the combination of Quan Hongchan and Chen Yaoxi will be a dream duo of the Chinese diving team.
The main event of the diving team in 2022 has also been released, and the World Championships and Asian Games qualification selection matches seem to have been postponed. The World Championships will be held from June 26 to July 2 for a week.
The most important competition is the Hangzhou Asian Games, which will start on September 10 and have less than 5 months to go. For the Chinese diving team, the goal at the Asian Games is to win all the gold medals.
