Diving at the 2022 FINA World Championships is in full swing, with the Chinese team winning four gold medals in the events that have already been completed. In the diving mixed team event, the chinese team's participation list has changed. This event was originally played by Tokyo Olympic champion Zhang Jiaqi and young player Bai Yuming, but the latest list shows that Quan Hongchan, who won the women's singles ten-meter platform runner-up at the World Championships, will replace Zhang Jiaqi. According to the schedule, the diving hybrid team event will be held at 20:30 Beijing time on June 29.
Judging from the past participation history of the Chinese diving team, it is rare to change the general, which also makes many netizens speculate about the reason for Zhang Jiaqi's absence. At this World Championships, Chen Taoxi and Quan Hongchan participated in the two individual competitions of the women's 10-meter platform, and Zhang Jiaqi regretted that he did not have a chance. However, due to the larger number of individual settings at the World Championships, the coaching staff chose to let her and Bai Yuming compete in the mixed team event.
This is the only single event that Zhang Jiaqi participated in this competition, and this time there was no chance to play, which made many netizens who like Zhang Jiaqi feel helpless. At present, the Chinese diving team has not made a detailed explanation on the official platform for the reason why Quan Hongchan replaced Zhang Jiaqi to play in the mixed group. In this regard, some netizens speculated that the reason why Zhang Jiaqi was replaced may be due to personal physical discomfort, resulting in the inability to maintain a good competitive state.
Some netizens also said that the possibility of the team's accidental injury is unlikely, it may be that after coming to Budapest, they have not fully adapted, and the body has adverse reactions. For the sake of safety, the coaching team let Quan Hongchan replace Zhang Jiaqi. However, some netizens speculated, "It won't be a new coronavirus infection, right?" ”
The results have been determined, although Zhang Jiaqi is absent from the mixed team competition, the little girl still has the opportunity to participate in the next World Championships. Whether it is physical reasons or other reasons, we all hope that Zhang Jiaqi can maintain good health and continue to compete for gold and silver for the Chinese diving team in the international arena. At the same time, I also expect Quan Hongchan and Bai Yuming to successfully win the championship in the mixed team competition!
