preface
The 2023 Asian Games will be held in Hangzhou, countless athletes from all over the world, as of the 27th, China has won 65 gold medals, ranking first in the Asian Games medal table, and the number of medals in the following countries has widened the gap.
In this kind of international competition, the audience should be most concerned about sports, and on the 26th, the mainland's table tennis and swimming events have won a number of gold medals, which makes the audience full of confidence in the next competition.
At the same time, the audience is also particularly concerned about the Chinese diving team, especially Quan Hongchan, although young, but since the good results in the Tokyo Olympics, she has been optimistic by the audience.
The audience's optimism and expectations are undoubtedly a huge challenge for Quan Hongchan, who is only 16 years old and stands on the diving platform under pressure, and once there is a mistake, there will be accusations.
Under the audience's expectations and the pressure in her heart, there are rumors that Quan Hongchan has had psychological problems, and some media have broken the news that Quan Hongchan has a certain degree of psychological collapse.
What is the reason that can make this 16-year-old "diving genius" mentality collapse?
The diving career has been challenging
At the Tokyo Olympics.
Athletes in the spotlight shine on their own field.
And a little girl on the diving platform caught everyone's attention.
The small body contains a huge amount of energy.
Countless spectators cheered her on in one fell swoop.
In an interview, Quan Hongchan denied that she was a "genius".
She said it was more about hard work and perseverance and serious training.
Whether it's a 10-meter platform or a 3-meter board.
Quan Hongchan always shows her best potential.
And the audience and coaches also have big expectations of her.
I believe that her achievements in the future will still be brilliant.
However, Quan Hongchan ushered in a period of physical development.
During this period, women's height, weight, etc. will change.
If it is an ordinary woman, these changes will not have much impact on life.
But Quan Hongchan as a diver.
The slightest change in the body can affect the performance of the competition.
A small weight gap will be the key to victory or defeat in the diving competition.
On the 10-meter-high platform, Quan Hongchan needs to complete difficult maneuvers.
But the gain in weight made her less light when diving and spinning.
An action that could have been done easily.
Now she may need to do her best.
Because I had achieved good results at the Tokyo Olympics before.
Therefore, countless audiences have a "champion halo" for Quan Hongchan.
In their eyes, Quan Hongchan's strength is still a "champion".
It is in this case.
The audience seems to have zero tolerance for Quan Hongchan's mistakes.
And in the face of the audience's expectations of her.
Quan Hongchan can only raise her requirements for herself again and again.
But changes in the body during development cannot be avoided.
Quan Hongchan will not perform as well as before when training.
And her coach, Ruolin Chen, is a demanding mentor.
Quan Hongchan was dissatisfied with the decline in her grades.
She would blame Quan Hongchan for not mobilizing during training.
Although strict requirements can make Quan Hongchan more excellent.
But changes in the developmental period are not something that can be adapted overnight.
What's more, a 10-meter platform is equivalent to the height of three or four floors.
Ordinary people will be afraid when they look down at this height.
Not to mention, the young Quan Hongchan still has to jump.
And while jumping, you must also make light and graceful movements.
The changes in the development period made Quan Hongchan no longer able to maintain the lightness she used to have.
In an interview, Quan Hongchan said frankly:
"I gained weight, my height changed, and I felt heavy when I dived."
Under the pressure of the influence of the developmental period and the expectations of the audience.
Quan Hongchan made frequent mistakes in the following games.
Her teammate Chen Yuxi lost to Quan Hongchan at the Tokyo Olympics.
But Chen Yuxi trained harder and gradually narrowed the gap with Quan Hongchan.
Since the start of the 2022 competition.
Chen has won Quan Hongchan six consecutive tournaments.
In the recent Xi'an competition in April, Chen Qianxi also won the championship.
For Quan Hongchan's failure, some netizens began to stand up and question her achievements.
She was even accused of being completely unworthy of the title of Olympic champion.
These words for a teenager.
It's too cruel.
Quan Hongchan ushered in a trough at this time.
In the face of your own setbacks and failures.
Many people fall into self-doubt and negativity.
But Quan Hongchan did not do this, but instead looked for an opportunity to return to the top.
Quan Hongchan, who finally trained hard, ushered in this opportunity.
Return to honor at the Diving World Cup in Montreal on May 8.
This achievement made her fans happy.
At the World Championships in Japan on July 19.
Chen Yuxi and Quan Hongchan participated in the competition together.
And Quan Hongchan also jumped out of the game's highest score.
Just when the audience was confident that Quan Hongchan would continue to win the championship.
The overall rating is still slightly higher than Chen Yuxi.
In the end, the two won the championship and runner-up.
Coach eccentricity?
After the game, Quan Hongchan was interviewed.
In the interview, she spoke about the pressure that the audience put on her as a "genius."
And some netizens' excessive attention to her has also affected her life.
But Quan Hongchan said in the next game.
She will adjust her mentality and strengthen her training.
Aim for good results in the next competition.
Quan Hongchan's words also showed that she was not defeated by these failures.
Still confident in the winner of the competition.
For the defeat that occurred in the Quan Hongchan competition.
Her fans have had a lot of opinions about her coach.
They questioned coach Chen Ruolin's abilities.
He also called on the diving team to replace Chen Ruolin.
Find a more suitable coach to improve Quan Hongchan's ability.
Many of them think that Chen Ruolin has excellent results in diving.
But this does not mean that she can teach, as a coach, Chen Ruolin has shallow experience.
It can't lead Quan Hongchan back to the top.
And in a diving video.
It can be seen that Quan Hongchan was angrily reprimanded by Chen Ruolin during training.
"You have to mobilize yourself, tired and shouting tired, what's the use?"
Her tough tone caused dissatisfaction among fans.
But Quan Hongchan said in the interview that coaches can sometimes be strict.
But it is this strictness that allows us to play better.
This allows the team's ability to take it to the next level.
Quan Hongchan's explanation is obviously to calm the outside world's doubts about the coach.
And fans and viewers are not only dissatisfied with Coach Chen Ruolin's training methods.
He also had a big opinion on Zhou Jihong, the head coach of the Chinese diving team.
It is even believed that Zhou Jihong is partial to Chen Yuxi when treating the team members.
While participating in the Montreal Diving World Cup.
Quan Hongchan has put a lot of effort into preparing for the team competition.
But under Zhou Jihong's repeated consideration, she was not allowed to participate.
And at the time of the competition in Canada.
Quan Hongchan did not participate in a single competition.
On the other hand, Chen Yuxi, Zhou Jihong signed up for three projects for her.
This puzzled fans, thinking that it would limit Quan Hongchan's path to competition.
Quan Hongchan now competes in 10-meter diving and double diving.
Fans think that Zhou Jihong's approach is really biased in favor of Chen Yuxi.
Even, some people think that Zhou Jihong wants to ignore Quan Hongchan.
Sweep up competitors for Chen Qianxi and let him win the championship.
It also raises doubts about her fairness as head coach.
But some netizens believe that this decision is because of Quan Hongchan's previous poor performance.
Sending a player to the competition must be the one who thinks she has a hope of winning the championship.
Coincidentally, Quan Hongchan was under too much pressure at that time, and lost one after another during the game.
Perhaps it is for this reason that he chose to let Chen Yuxi participate in the competition.
Zhou Jihong as a former diver.
He is currently the head coach of the Chinese diving team.
Not only his own outstanding achievements, but also led countless team members to win many honors.
Every decision she made was certainly well thought out.
The team adjusts to lead the storm
Under the fans' continued attention to Quan Hongchan.
"Quan Hongchan's withdrawal" once again caused controversy.
This is because there is no Quan Hongchan's name in the mixed doubles competition.
In his place is rising star Chen Yiwen in the diving world.
This news made many people express disbelief.
Could it be that Quan Hongchan's performance in the competition declined.
As a result, there is no place in the national team.
And then returned to the provincial team?
No matter how much news spreads from the outside world.
Zhou Jihong and Quan Hongchan did not respond positively to this matter.
There is also grapevine news that Quan Hongchan did not participate in the mixed doubles competition.
It was because she was preparing for the women's singles and doubles competitions.
Although Quan Hongchan has performed well in previous competitions.
But the decline in form during this period made the coach afraid to take risks.
That's why stable players will be sent to fight.
Even if Quan Hongchan's return to the provincial team is true.
Nor should we attack the coach's decision.
The previous defeat was a lot of pressure for Quan Hongchan.
Back in the provincial team, she can enjoy a little more relaxed atmosphere.
Perhaps this can help Quan Hongchan return to the peak of diving.
epilogue
Every competition we see, behind the continuous efforts of the athletes, the Chinese diving team is the same, they continue to train, through sweat and tears, to achieve today's results, and then stand gloriously on the podium to win glory for the country.
Quan Hongchan won the Olympic championship at the age of 14, which brought a lot of expectations and pressure to her, and Quan Hongchan is still full of confidence in winning the championship despite successive defeats.
I hope that she can break through herself in the next competition, use her own efforts and strength, stand on the podium again, and bring more surprises and pride to the audience and fans.
