The World Championships start tomorrow! The Chinese diving team may win 13 gold Quan Hongchan Chen Yuxi Immortal fight
On July 14, Beijing time, the Fukuoka World Swimming Championships in Japan will kick off. The Chinese diving team has arrived in Japan a few days ago to make final preparations before the competition. This time, the Chinese diving team sent all the main teams to participate, and the goal is also to target all 13 gold medals. Among the participants, there are 4 Olympic champions. The competition between Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi in the women's 10-meter platform, which fans are very much looking forward to, will also be staged.
At the last World Championships in Budapest, the Chinese team won gold medals in all 13 events. At this World Championships, the Chinese team continued to register in 13 events. Of the 18 competitors, 15 have won the World Series, and only Long Daoyi and Wang Feilong participated in the World Series for the first time. But Long Dao has risen quickly and has become an important candidate for next year's Olympic spot.
In the 8 Olympic events, Chen Yuxi and Quan Hongchan will compete in the women's singles and doubles 10-meter platform competition, Yang Hao and Lian Junjie will participate in the men's singles and doubles 10-meter platform competition, Chen Yiwen and Chang Yani will compete in the women's singles and doubles 3-meter springboard, and Wang Zongyuan and Long Daoyi will compete in the men's singles and doubles 3-meter springboard. Obviously, these 8 athletes will become important targets for the Chinese team at next year's Olympic Games. As the most important competition before the Paris Olympics, the results of this World Championships are likely to determine the ownership of next year's Olympic quota.
Returning to this World Championships, the audience's biggest attention is undoubtedly the women's 10-meter platform. Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi, two young Olympic champions, will partner in a two-man competition while continuing to stage immortal fights on the single stage. Chen won two consecutive World Championships, while Quan Hongchan was an Olympic champion and also defeated Chen at the World Cup in Canada in May this year. The huge attention of the two on social media is also likely to make diving out of the circle again. In addition, the men's single 10-meter platform competition will also attract attention, which is the most ornamental in the diving event. Although the difficulty Wang Yangjian did not participate, Yang Hao and Lian Junjie both have very strong strength.
