The 2022 Diving World Cup officially came to an end in Berlin, Germany. In the end, the Chinese diving team won all the championships in all 8 Olympic events, achieving 8 gold and 4 silvers, ranking first in the gold medal list. It is worth mentioning that at the 2022 Budapest Diving World Championships, the Chinese team also won all 8 gold medals. To win all Olympic championships in the World Championships and World Cup, in addition to the Chinese table tennis team, perhaps only the Chinese diving team can do it. In Paris two years later, the Chinese diving team is expected to achieve an unprecedented Olympic 8-gold Grand Slam!
The Diving World Cup is the world's highest level of diving single event, which has been successfully held for 22 times, and this World Cup in Berlin, Germany is the 23rd. After the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese diving team completed the replacement of the old and the new. After a year of running-in, this Chinese sports dream team handed over a satisfactory answer sheet to the Chinese people. Judging from the individual results of this competition, the advantages of the Chinese team in the three-meter springboard and ten-meter platform events are further expanding. In the women's singles three-meter springboard final, Chang Yani won the championship and Chen Yiwen ranked second.
The two also teamed up to win the gold medal in the women's double three-meter springboard. Throughout the Paris Olympic cycle, two girls will dominate the event. In the men's singles three-meter springboard event, world champion Wang Zongyuan won again, and another Chinese player, Cao Yuan, was the runner-up. After Olympic champion Xie Siquan faded out, Wang Zongyuan became the leader of the men's three-meter springboard event of the Chinese diving team. Away from completing the career grand slam, Wang Zongyuan only has one gold medal left in the singles event. Cao Yuan and Wang Zongyuan also teamed up to win the gold medal in the men's double three-meter springboard in this World Cup.
In the women's 10-meter platform double event, Chen Yuxi and Quan Hongchan won the championship without suspense, and the two girls have achieved two consecutive World Championships and World Cup titles. In the final of the single 10-meter platform, Tokyo Olympic champion Quan Hongchan once again lost in the World Cup. Even after overcoming the difficult action of 207C, the star of the popular Chinese diving team once again ended with a silver medal. Some netizens said that although the national team made Olympic 5 gold king Chen Ruolin as the head coach of Quan Hongchan, from the results of this season, Quan Hongchan did not increase but decreased.
Considering from this level, Chen Ruolin may not be suitable for Quan Hongchan. It is also believed that Quan Hongchan is currently in the stage of physical development, and the decline in the quality of movements is also expected, and she is still the biggest favorite in the 2024 Paris Olympics. In the men's 10m platform, Tokyo Olympic runner-up Yang Jian and world champion Yang Hao teamed up. In the end, Yang Jian won the championship and Yang Hao won the runner-up. The gold medal in the men's double 10m platform went to Yang Hao and Lian Junjie of the Chinese team. 9 people competed, won 8 gold medals, such a Chinese diving team, how can you not love?
