Due to the postponement of the National Diving Championships, World Championships and Asian Games Selection Tournaments originally held in Xi'an, the Chinese diving team conducted a four-day team test match in the team to test the training results of the previous period. In this team test, the core player of the Paris Olympic cycle, Quan Hongchan, returned from injury. And this team test match is also her women's double jump debut, but also her and Chinese diving goddess Chen Ruolin, the Olympic 6 gold combination debut. Judging from Zhou Jihong's smiling face after the game, he was very satisfied with the debut of the Olympic 6 gold master-apprentice combination. Interestingly, Zhang Jiaqi and Quan Hongchan took a group photo together than V, which was very cute.
In order to achieve good results at the Paris Olympic Games, at the beginning of this month, the Chinese diving team was upgraded, and a number of meritorious veterans, such as Shi Tingmao, Wang Han and other Olympic champions, officially retired. Young athletes like Quan Hongchan began to shoulder the burden of winning the gold medal at the Paris Olympics. For Quan Hongchan, this is a very big opportunity and a very big challenge. At the Tokyo Olympics, although Quan Hongchan performed very amazingly, she was still a newcomer and there was no pressure.
In the Paris Olympic cycle, Quan Hongchan, who is already an Olympic champion, is no longer a newcomer, but a core player with responsibilities and burdens. Therefore, the Chinese diving team also carefully cultivated Quan Hongchan and arranged for the goddess of the Chinese diving industry, Chen Ruolin, who once won 5 Olympic gold medals, as the head coach of Quan Hongchan. It also split the women's 10-meter platform combination of Zhang Jiaqi and Chen Taoxi, and the women's 10-meter platform duo was formed by Quan Hongchan replacing the 17-year-old Olympic champion Zhang Jiaqi and Chen Taoxi. I have to say that this is indeed a bit cruel for Zhang Jiaqi, after all, she is only 17 years old, and her strength is also very strong. But alas, competitive sports are indeed like that.
Due to injury, Quan Hongchan missed the team test at the beginning of the month, which also made her master-apprentice combination with Chen Ruolin not call her public debut until this team test. In this test match, the women's doubles 10-meter platform achieved a standard score of 340 points, 23 points less than the Chinese team Zhang Jiaqi and Chen Taoxi's winning score at the Tokyo Olympics, but nearly 30 points more than the highest score of foreign athletes in this event.
The duo debut of Quan Hongchan and Chen Taoxi finally jumped out of a good score of 349.74 points, exceeding the standard line by nearly 10 points. Although Quan Hong chan said after the game that she danced average, for this new combination, such a result is already quite good. The best way to reflect the good play of this duo is Zhou Jihong's conversation with them after the game, after the game, Zhou Jihong called Quan Hongchan and Chen Taoxi to the sidelines for a conversation. At that time, Chen Ruolin, Yu Xiaoling and others were on the side. At this time, Zhou Jihong was full of smiles and smiled very brightly. It can be seen that Zhou Jihong is very satisfied with this new combination. This is also an affirmation of Chen Ruolin's coaching career, after all, the debut can have such a performance, and their prospects are worth promising. Therefore, after Zhou Jihong finished speaking, Chen Ruolin's face also showed a smile and was very happy.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that in the face of the cruel competition in the team, Zhang Jiaqi's strength is just replaced by Quan Hongchan. This is also no way to do it, after all, competitive sports are so cruel. But no matter how fierce the competition, it does not hinder the feelings between teammates. After the game, Quan Hongchan sat with Zhang Jiaqi and took a group photo against the camera than V, which was very cute.
