At the end of the diving competition at the 2022 FINA World Championships, although the Chinese diving team won all the gold medals in diving, the Japanese side was not only not disappointed but also very excited, because their 15-year-old rising star Yujing Ludou defeated the Chinese famous Yang Hao in the men's ten-meter jump, only lost to the 28-year-old world champion Yang Jian from China, and the silver medal won by Yujing Ludou made the Japanese coach and the Japanese media quite excited, Yujing Ludou not only said that he wanted to sword the Paris Olympic gold medal. The Japanese media even claimed that the 15-year-old Yujing Ludou had already caused the Chinese diving team to feel collapsed!
Yujing Ludou's performance in the last game was also impressive, after four rounds of competition, his ranking has climbed to the top of the list, if he had not made a mistake in the fifth round, I am afraid that the Chinese team may not have been able to win the gold medal.
Japanese journalists also praised Tamai's performance: "The 15-year-old Tamai Ludou defeated the powerful rival China, which boosted the confidence of the Japanese diving team, a 15-year-old who broke the record, he was 7th at the last Tokyo Olympics, and this time after Ken Terauchi won the bronze medal in the men's three-meter plate in 2001, Japan won a medal again after 21 years." ”
Tamai Washito was also satisfied with his performance: "I am very happy, I broke the record of Ken Terauchi. Yujing Ludou stood on the podium, holding his fists in both hands and posing a winning posture. Talking about beating Chinese athletes to finish second, Yujing Ludou said frankly, "This is a less realistic challenge for me, but beating Chinese athletes gives me confidence." ”
Tamai finished 7th at the Tokyo Olympics, but he said he reflected on himself for a long time after the Olympics, "Diving technology has not yet reached its peak, so now in preparation for the 2024 Paris Olympics, the focus is on the power and bouncing power of the lower body." Looking forward to the Paris Olympic Games, Yujing Ludou said that he would participate in the Springboard and Platform Competition of the Paris Olympic Games, and his goal was to win the Olympic gold medal.
