On April 25, the Laureus Sport World Awards announced the final winners.
In the competition for the Best Breakthrough Award, 19-year-old Chinese genius girl, Radukanu defeated the Chinese Diving Dream Team genius girl and Quan Hongchan, who were also candidates for the award, and won the cup as desired.
Since the Tokyo Olympics, so far, the most well-known female sports stars in the Chinese sports world, who combine achievements and popularity, are two people: one is the national idol Gu Ailing, and the other is Quan Hongchan, who created the splash disappearance technique.
It just so happens that in the shortlist for the Laureus Sports World Awards, Gu Ailing and Quan Hongchan are on the list.
The Laureus Sport World Awards are currently the highest awards in the entire sports world, and if they are aimed at the film field, they are Oscars.
Therefore, it has been called the "Oscar" of the sports world.
An athlete who can win the Laureus Award can basically represent a player's brilliant professional achievements.
It can be said that Gu Ailing and Quan Hongchan can appear as candidates, which is already an affirmation.
But in the end, Quan Hongchan was defeated by the 19-year-old Raducannu, which was still unexpected by many domestic fans.
Radukanu is a tennis player, and for friends who don't care about tennis, the name may be a little strange, at least not compared to the household name Quan Hong chan, who is she?
Last year's US Open, Raducannu started from the qualifiers and won the final championship with an arrogant result of winning ten consecutive games without losing a set, thus making a big splash!
And this title is only the first championship of her career.
From the perspective of legend, the first champion is the highest level of laurels in the tennis world, which is naturally very rare.
In fact, from this point of view alone, Quan Hong chan is not inferior: with the advantage of being younger than Raducannu, winning gold in the Olympic Games has enough weight.
The reason why Quan Hong chan was defeated by Raducannu was actually not about the results, but was limited by the sports.
Simply put, it is the cause of "blood vein suppression".
As we all know, sports are differentiated to some extent, and there is a high level.
Collective sports, football is the world's first sport;
Individual event, tennis is the world's first event;
The sport of tennis has developed so far and has become one of the most professional sports industries in the world.
Once a player can win a Grand Slam tournament that symbolizes the sport's highest achievement, it means that they can directly enter the category of world-class stars.
This is the innate advantage that a sport brings to athletes.
To take a very simple example, Chinese tennis star Li Na, after winning two Grand Slam championships, her domestic and international status is unique, while the badminton player Lin Dan, who is a double-lap Grand Slam winner, although he is the first person in history in the field of badminton, but compared with Li Na, it is far worse.
Similarly, Quan Hong Chan's talent and achievements in the field of diving are by no means below Raducannu, and even in terms of achievements in their respective fields, Quan Hong Chan has the upper hand, but it is the difference in the project that directly leads to the differentiation of the results.
In fact, not only can the diving project not be compared with tennis, but in terms of the status of the world sports world alone, because football belongs to the collective project, and the largest award of the Lawrence Award is the single award, so the probability of tennis players winning the grand prize is the largest.
Perhaps only those who have achieved significant achievements in a few events such as athletics, golf, F1, etc. will have the opportunity to win awards.
For a long time, the Lawrence Best Player Award seems to have become a reserved place for tennis players.
Tennis's three giants Fernard has taken the Best Male Athlete Award into his arms a total of 11 times, which shows the status of the sport.
A large part of the reason why the national idol Gu Ailing failed to pass the award is also due to the sports projects she is engaged in.
If Radukanu was able to beat Quan Hongchan in the Lawrence Awards, it would be a victory in direct competition.
Then in another off-site comparison, Raducanu faces the red half of the sky, and Gu Ailing, who is very popular with major advertisers, does not fall behind.
At present, Gu Ailing has received soft advertising, and Raducannu is very popular, and they are all international brands.
Porsche, fashion brand Dior, luxury brand Tiffany, bottled water leader Evian, British Airways, Nike shoes and so on, each of them is like thunder.
Even after winning the US Open, she was invited by the British Princess to attend events and play together.
Tennis is a unique sport advantage, but Raducano can be combined with thousands of pets, not just relying on tennis.
In addition to the achievements, her beautiful appearance, Chinese-Romanian mixed blood, British household registration book, etc., are also her magic weapons to win.
In this regard, our Gu Ailing actually has the same place.
