Quan Hongchan: Climb to the top of diving and release pressure
The splendor of the Diving World Cup in Montreal, Canada, has come to an end, and the members of the Chinese diving dream team have won 9 gold medals, of which Quan Hongchan, who has attracted much attention, won two gold medals. In this competition, she finally won the women's 10m platform single championship, adding another brilliant page to her diving career. The joy of this moment, for her, is a long-accumulated emotional catharsis.
It is worth noting that Quan Hongchan has suffered from stress for some time in the past. From last year's World Diving Championships in Germany to last month's Xi'an Diving World Cup, she made frequent mistakes in the action 207C, unfortunately losing to Chen Yuxi in a row, and repeatedly ranked second. This put her under pressure, and she was even jokingly called the "second in the millennium". However, in this competition, Quan Hongchan soared into the sky, stood firmly on the championship's podium, and released her inner unwillingness and persistence.
Regarding Quan Hongchan's championship bonus, the outside world has also been full of speculation. According to the prize distribution plan announced by the pre-competition organizing committee, the prize money for a single champion is 34,000 yuan. Quan Hongchan won the women's 10-meter platform singles and women's doubles 10-meter platform events and tied for first place with Chen Yuxi, so she will receive a total of more than 50,000 yuan. This is undoubtedly a considerable income for Quan Hongchan, who has average living conditions. As a diver, her career is short, and these bonuses may provide more options for her life path in the future.
However, the competition also caused a storm about the "Men in Black". Quan Hongchan's criticism by the man in black quickly fermented on the Internet, and there were many opinions, and who exactly became a mystery. Some media pointed the finger at diving queen Guo Jingjing, but from the perspective of height and body shape, it does not seem to be very suitable. There are also voices that believe that it is Quan Hongchan's coach Chen Ruolin, however, Chen Ruolin was proved to be in front of the technical stage of the arena, which ruled out this possibility. In the end, the media and fans pointed the finger at Chen Qianxi. After all, only she had time to appear after Quan Hongchan and become the focus of criticism.
Chen Yuxi suffered online violence as a result, and many Quan Hongchan's supporters left messages on Chen Yuxi's social media, accusing her of not being able to afford to lose and using low-level tricks to try to influence Quan Hongchan's performance. Chen was even directly insulted and abused, which forced her to delete all her social media updates, leaving only a photo with Zhang Jiaqi winning the championship. In fact, the reason why this incident attracted the attention of public opinion was not only the identity of the man in black, but also the extreme rhetoric and emotional attitude on social networks. These arguments and attacks may simply be due to personal preference, ignoring the hard work and craftsmanship behind the two players.
Afterwards, Chen Ruolin refuted rumors that Quan Hongchan had been returned to the provincial team, which had been rumored before the game. However, at the Diving World Cup in Montreal, Canada, Quan Hongchan reappeared and won the championship with a crushing performance, proving the absurdity of these rumors. Chen Ruolin responded to all this calmly, she knew that this was part of Quan Hongchan's growth, and her guidance method was full of firmness and faith.
Quan Hongchan's victory is the crystallization of her hard work and talent, and it is also a complete release of past failures and pressure. Chen Qianxi and Quan Hongchan are also the pride of the Chinese diving dream team, they have their own light and style, and hope that the media and fans can view their achievements in a more rational and peaceful manner, and do not hurt others because of personal preferences. The road to diving is long, and the hard work and sweat behind it are equally worthy of respect.
