The 2023 Fukuoka World Swimming Championships in Japan will officially start on July 14 and last for about half a month. The Chinese diving team has 18 players competing in 13 events, led by Quan Hongchan, Chen Qianxi, Zhang Jiaqi and other Olympic champions. It is worth mentioning that previously, the diving team also took a family portrait, Quan Hongchan stood in the C position, and her height became a highlight, Chen Yuxi Chen height is about 1.65 meters, and Quan Hongchan's height is already similar to Zhang Jiaqi, only about 5 cm short of Chen Yuxi, so now Quan Hongchan's height should have exceeded 1.6 meters. In the past 2 years, Quan Hongchan has grown up a lot, her body has developed very fast, and she is already a big girl.
On July 9, five days before the start of the World Championships, the diving team officially set off. "Today, the Chinese diving team will compete in the World Swimming Championships, and the Swimming World Championships will be held in Fukuoka, Japan, from July 14 to 30, to see the Chinese diving dream team's splash disappearance and cheer for the Chinese athletes."
Netizens also posted some photos of Quan Hongchan going to Japan to compete, it can be seen that Sister Hong is wearing a white costume, she is still sitting on the suitcase listening to music while waiting for the ticket check-in, and Quan Hongchan looks in a daze, not knowing what she is thinking.
Although she has grown into a big girl, Quan Hongchan still maintains a childlike heart, and there are many cute dolls hanging on her school bag, which is also very eye-catching. Quan Hongchan loves these small pendants and carries them everywhere she goes. Quan Hongchan is 16 years old this year, she is still the youngest athlete on the diving team, but in two years, there should be younger players on the diving team.
The Chinese diving team has a very heavy competition task in 2023, and has successively participated in the National Diving Championships, the Diving World Cup and the Swimming World Championships, as well as the Hangzhou Asian Games in September this year, all of which are crucial competitions. Because the diving team's dominance is too strong, if nothing else, the Chinese team will also win gold medals in all events, the biggest attraction is Quan Hongchan and Chen Qianxi's women's 10-meter platform single event, the two will compete for gold medals, they are similar in age, may be in the next 10 years, Quan Hongchan and Chen Qianxi's duel is very eye-catching.
After the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, Quan Hongchan reached her peak, and her world record of 466.2 points was unbroken. However, Quan Hongchan also experienced a trough, before the Diving World Cup Montreal, Quan Hongchan has suffered 6 consecutive defeats against Chen Yuxi, and after adjusting her form, Quan Hongchan defeated Chen Yuxi in the last competition and was crowned the double champion.
In the 2022 Swimming World Championships, Chen Qianxi won the gold medal in the single event, and it is also worth paying attention to who performs better between Quan Hongchan and Chen Qianxi this time. No matter which of them wins the championship in the end, it is an honor belonging to the Chinese team, and I hope that everyone will look at the result of the game rationally. From the perspective of the diving team test match, Quan Hongchan's performance is still not very stable, nearly 70 points lower than the Olympic result, but her ceiling is higher, Chen Yuxi achieved more than 430 points very easily, the two have their own advantages, it depends on who plays better.
