On October 4, the diving event of the Hangzhou Asian Games ended, and the Chinese diving team won all 10 gold medals. In the final of the women's 10-meter platform, 16-year-old rising diving star Quan Hongchan won the championship with 438 points, and one of the jumps was unanimously scored by 7 judges. Since Zhou Jihong won China's first women's 10m platform gold medal in 1984, the Chinese diving team has won more than 145 gold medals, which shows the inheritance of the spirit and technological breakthrough of generations of Chinese divers.
Stone to the top, dull into profit. Walking, jumping, soaring, entering the water... Textbook performance on the field requires the utmost rigor in daily training. The Chinese diving team sets up a sound training and selection mechanism with the Olympic Games as the cycle to cultivate athletes' sense of competition and crisis. In the diving hall of the Training Bureau of the General Administration of Sports, athletes often take the initiative to increase physical fitness and special training after completing a training session a day; Quan Hongchan, a young player who became famous in the Tokyo Olympics, is in a difficult period and trough period of personal growth and development, but in this Asian Games, she still withstood the dual pressure of declining performance and external expectations to achieve a breakthrough in personal results. This spirit of high standards, strict requirements and overcoming all difficulties has enabled the Chinese diving team to achieve great results on the world competitive diving stage.
"New bamboo is higher than old bamboo branches, all supported by old trunks." On the night of the women's 10-meter platform competition at the Asian Games, diving Olympic champion Wu Minxia posted a picture of herself and her daughter handstand on Weibo, saying that "in our family's way" congratulated the Chinese diving team on its success, causing netizens to lament that China's diving "veterans are not old, and new people are coming out one after another". "Leading the new with the old" is the training model and lineup setting that the national team has always used, such as boldly using outstanding young athletes in many major competitions; Shi Tingmao and Wang Han, who won gold at the Tokyo Olympics, transformed into coaches in the new cycle, and continued to pass on their successful experience to more juniors; Diving star Chen Ruolin became Quan Hongchan's head coach in the new cycle, helping her overcome the developmental hurdles she had overcome. It is the young athletes' pursuit of their predecessors and the encouragement of their predecessors to the younger generation of athletes that make the Chinese diving team continue to pour out new talents and create new brilliance.
Work all day long, walk with the times. The Chinese diving team attaches great importance to the research and innovation of new and difficult technologies, promotes advanced training methods at home and abroad, and leads the world's technology. In view of the pain points of complex aerial action and difficult to grasp in diving training, the national team cooperated with Baidu Smart Cloud to develop the first "3D + AI" diving training system in China, which uses three-dimensional human body reconstruction technology to make accurate quantitative evaluation and data analysis for athletes through the action extraction of training videos, making the training process clearly visible and greatly improving training efficiency.
As Wu Minxia said, it is precisely "13 consecutive sessions, 49 years, generations of diving people working hard" to shoulder the expectations of the Chinese people, shoulder the pursuit of the highest Olympic honor of Chinese divers, and strive to pursue the dream of "faster, higher, stronger and more united".
