At the age of 17, he is at the golden age of his career, but Tokyo Olympic champion Zhang Jiaqi has encountered embarrassment at this age. Whether it will be retired has become a question that many people are concerned about. Why do you ask that? Looking at Zhang Jiaqi's experience in the past six months, I have to lament the cruelty of competitive sports. After 36 days of being replaced by Quan Hongchan, Zhang Jiaqi, who has not spoken out on social platforms, finally appeared. Just a few words, let many netizens sigh.
Not long ago, at the 2022 Budapest Swimming World Championships, I believe that the audience who have followed this event is very impressed by the bravery of the Chinese diving team. In the case of as many as 12 gold medals behind the American team, the Chinese team relied on the perfect performance of the diving team to finally equal the number of gold medals of the American team, and tied with the United States team on the gold medal list with 18 gold medals. At this World Swimming Championships, the diving team of the Chinese Sports Dream Team won all 13 gold medals, creating history. However, at this World Championships, the most lost diver is naturally Zhang Jiaqi, the champion of last year's Tokyo Olympics. In the final moments of the competition, she participated in the non-Olympic mixed team competition, but her role was replaced by the little sister Quan Hongchan.
Of course, with the strength of Quan Hongchan, this gold medal was naturally won by the Chinese team. But if they are replaced before the game, no one's heart will be better. However, this time temporarily let Quan Hongchan replace Zhang Jiaqi, this matter really can't be said that Quan Hongchan is not kind. Quan Hongchan also knew at the last moment that she was going to participate, and the decision to participate in the competition could not be decided by Quan Hongchan. But in any case, this matter had a very great impact on Zhang Jiaqi. Since knowing that he was temporarily replaced by Quan Hongchan, Zhang Jiaqi disappeared on social platforms.
You should know that on June 27, Zhang Jiaqi also posted a photo of himself going to training, and shouted: The Chinese team refueled, rushed. However, on June 28, the day before the match, Zhang Jiaqi was replaced by Quan Hongchan. Since then, Zhang Jiaqi's social platform has not been updated. And the reason why she was replaced, the team has not publicly responded. It wasn't until later that her brother Xie Sibei revealed in a direct way that Zhang Jiaqi was replaced because she was injured during training and she would soon return to the team.
Although the words are said, no matter what, the blow to Zhang Jiaqi should be very big. That is, from this day on, Zhang Jiaqi's social platform has not been updated for 36 days. And most importantly, during this time, Zhang Jiaqi, who had previously interacted frequently with the good sisters Quan Hongchan and Chen Yaoxi, also had zero interaction with them on the social platform during this time. This situation has made fans a little worried, and the news that Zhang Jiaqi may retire from college has also come out.
However, in recent days, Xie Sibei's marriage proposal was successful, and finally Zhang Jiaqi appeared on the social platform again. She left a message under Xie Sipi's social dynamics: "Happy Tanabata Brother Xie, I wish you happiness and happiness and early birth of your son." This message is also the first time that Zhang Jiaqi has spoken out after a gap of 36 days. This also made many netizens sigh for it, but also feel reassured. This also shows that Zhang Jiaqi has come out of the depression of being replaced and started again.
