With the official conclusion of the Diving World Championships, the Chinese team won all 13 gold medals and is still the strongest team in the world. Among them, Yang Jian, a famous player who lost the Olympic Games last year, successfully won the gold medal in the men's 10 meters platform, which is to make up for the regret. However, Yang Jian posted an apology to everyone after the game, believing that his performance was particularly poor, and he did not reach the highest level at all, even if he won the championship, he also felt that it was not a victory.
In fact, Yang Jian is not wrong, his victory score is 515.55 points, although it is much higher than that of players from other countries, but it is indeed a relatively poor performance for him. At last year's Tokyo Olympics, Yang Jian missed the gold medal by a fraction of a centimeter, when his score reached 580.40 points. In the 2019 World Championships, Yang Jian won the championship with a super high score of 598.65 points, and in just 3 years, he had a cliff-like decline. For an athlete who strives to pursue the ultimate, such a performance is really difficult to satisfy himself, and Yang Jian also feels sorry for the national audience.
After last year's Olympic men's singles 10m event, Yang, who missed the gold medal, established a black face and then turned his head into the locker room. At that time, Yang Jian did not even come out to congratulate his teammate Cao Yuan, which caused many controversies, and even many people thought that Yang Jian did not have a mind and measurement, and only cared about his own wins and losses. But now it seems that Yang Jian is only particularly strict with himself, such a person in the world sports world, they always want to do the best, when they fail to achieve the goal, some negative emotions will be revealed.
Yang Jian has just spent his 28th birthday, referring to the renewal of the Chinese diving team, he wants to participate in the Paris Olympic Games in 2 years, and needs to pay more efforts. Because of this, Yang Jian's attitude of excellence is more valuable, which can make him make greater progress. At this World Championships, 3 Olympic gold medalists Cao Yuan performed mediocrely, and even made serious mistakes, relying on only one Wang Zongyuan was not enough to help the Chinese diving men's team dominate the arena, and it became very important for Yang Jian to regain his peak state.
In general, it is a fact that Yang Jian's personal performance is not good, but even so, he can still win the championship, indicating that the strength of players in other countries is too poor. This World Championship gives people the feeling that the gold content is not enough, most of the events are missing the participation of top foreign athletes, and the women's double 10-meter platform has only 9 pairs of participating combinations. It can be seen that in the case of the Chinese team winning the world championship for a long time, many countries have lost interest in diving and no longer vigorously cultivate athletes.
In the long run, other countries and institutions will surely have the idea of expelling diving from the Olympics, as in weightlifting and table tennis, which has been controversial. Therefore, many people have proposed that the Chinese diving team should also follow the example of national table tennis, carry out the "wolf raising plan" around the world, take the initiative to send coaches and athletes out, help players from other countries improve their abilities, and also invite them to participate in the chinese team's joint training, rather than playing behind closed doors. The strength of the opponent has increased, which can not only save the diving sport, but also inspire the national athletes, which can be called killing two birds with one stone.
