The time for the World Swimming Championships in Budapest is getting closer and closer, and the Chinese diving team also conducted a final team test before going out to test the training level and status of the athletes. In the latest issue of the team test, the much-watched Olympic champion Quan Hongchan broke out of the big cold, losing to 17-year-old Chen Taoxi. Chen Yaoxi won the first place with a score of 422.70 points. For the first time since the Olympics, I beat All Red Chan! In an interview, Chen Taoxi also appeared very confident, she said that her goal is: to compete for 2 gold medals.
Chen Yaoxi, 17 years old this year, at the Tokyo Olympic Games, she performed very well, personally won the women's double ten meters platform championship, the women's single ten meters platform runner-up. It can be said that her strength in the women's ten-meter platform event is indistinguishable from Quan Hongchan. Who wins the gold medal in the end will most likely depend on the state of presence.
Chen Yaoxi only finished third in the last team test competition, with a score of 424.30 points. At that time, Quan Hongchan was the first, with chen taro up to 26 points. However, this time in the quiz, Quan Hongchan's state was not stable enough, but it was not as high as Chen Taoxi's 422.70 points. From the perspective of stability, Chen Yaoxi has a slight advantage, and the 2 test matches are stable at about 422 points. In addition, Chen Taoxi's gold medal at the Olympic Games was also around 422, or 425.4 points.
Chen Yaoxi, 17, is from the Shanghai diving team and is still very young. Judging by her achievements in recent years, she has been in a slow upward phase. From 356 points in the 2018 World Diving Series, it took 4 years to improve to about 422 points. The improvement is still quite large, and I look forward to her making a breakthrough and achieving a good result in this swimming world championship.
It is worth reminding that Chen Yaoxi will participate in 2 events at the Swimming World Championships, the single women's 10m platform and the double women's 10m platform. In the women's single ten meters, the Chinese diving team is likely to stage internal competition, and her opponent for the gold medal is likely to be Quan Hongchan. However, for the Chinese diving team, the internal competition is fierce, which is actually a good thing, which means that our athletes can maintain a competitive performance.
