The competition and promotion between these two athletes is undoubtedly a positive phenomenon for the Chinese diving team - Zhou Jihong, chairman of the Chinese Diving Association, commented in an interview with The Paper, "The two of them are not saying who is better, but they are both very good, they are very hard, just see the difference in the competition." Both small athletes are of a high level. ”
Chen Qianxi also said, "The two of us are healthy competition, and we can supervise and improve each other in order to improve our own level." If it's just me or she, it's likely to stand still or even regress. ”
Now at the Hangzhou Asian Games, the two have once again won gold and silver medals for the Chinese diving team. And as the Paris Olympics get closer, the absolute domination of Chinese diving in women's diving continues.
