Chinese diving is the trump card of Chinese sports. When it comes to diving, I think many people will subconsciously think of Olympic champions, Fu Mingxia, Guo Jingjing, Wu Minxia and other famous names. I don't know if you remember, former Chinese diving stars? Tian Liang's former partner Huang Qiang unfortunately "became famous", he faces up to 20 years in prison or whipping for sexually assaulting a 20-year-old girl!
Huang Qiang became famous at a young age. In 1998, he squeezed out the star Sun Shuwei to compete in the Bangkok Asian Games. He was once the "nemesis" of the famous Russian chess player Saoudin. In his diving career, he won a total of seven Olympic medals. He is one of the families of athletes with the most medals in diving in Olympic history. Of course, he is also the main opponent of the Chinese diving team.
However, Huang Qiang defeated "Tsar" Saouddin three times in a row in the singles tournament the following year. They partnered with Tian Liang on the men's 10m platform and are basically undefeated in the past two years. At that time, Tian Liang, Sau Ding and Huang Qiang were the three strongest players.
However, about 30 days before the Sydney Olympics, news came from the diving team that Hu Jia was active and Huang Qiang was absent. The reason is Huang Qiang's injury. First loss in years! According to a member of the diving team, Huang Qiang was finally won because the Jiangsu Provincial Sports Bureau did not do this job in the end. At that time, it was a match between the Jiangsu team and the Guangdong team. Huang Qiang ended up missing the Sydney Olympics due to heavy public relations.
Huang Qiang withdrew from the national team the day after he lost the selection. Over the next few years, his condition deteriorated dramatically. After retiring after the 2005 National Games, he moved to Malaysia in 2007. Huang Qiang married a local woman and obtained Malaysian citizenship, and worked as a coach for the Malaysian national diving team. Huang Qiang made an unexpected comeback before the London Olympics to represent Malaysia at the Olympics. He and his partner finished eighth on the two-man three-meter bridge, which caused controversy in China.
However, unexpectedly, on the afternoon of September 26, 2017, Huang Qiang sexually assaulted a 21-year-old athlete in the gymnasium of the diving center. For many women who have been hurt, they may choose to persevere for the sake of their own face, but this girl chose to bravely expose the bestiality of the coach. Her parents expressed their support and subsequently reported the crime. However, he was still active in the Malaysian diving team at the time. In order not to affect the normal training of the team, the entire court proceedings, as well as other proceedings, were not made public, and everything happened in an unobtrusive way.
Later, in April 2018, prosecutors found the victim's testimony inconsistent and speculative. Huang Qiang was acquitted of rape charges and released on bail with RM50,000 and two Malaysian guarantors. However, Huang Qiang must hand over his passport and report to the nearest police station twice a month. Today, a local court overturned a previous acquittal and ordered Huang to return to the court to defend himself. If convicted, Huang faces up to 20 years in prison and flogging.
Malaysian media used the term "animal trainer" in reporting the incident, indicating Malaysia's disappointment with the dive trainer. Huang Qiang does not regret naturalizing from China to Malaysia and coaching players from other countries. He also made it clear: "I'm not afraid of being scolded. "The trainer was much more tolerant, not only did not swear, but even sent blessings.
However, now Huang Qiang is accused of sexual assault, which is a pity! At present, Tian Liang, who has retired for many years, is still a well-known star in China, married to a beautiful and virtuous wife, full of positive energy, but his teammate Huang Qiang is becoming more and more corrupt and is currently facing imprisonment. Emotion!
