On November 22, Beijing time, the National Diving Championships kicked off in Wuhan, ushering in the first day of competition. This tournament is not only a national championship, but also the second selection event for the Paris Olympics and the selection for the World Championships in Doha. The most eye-catching is the women's single 10-meter platform final with Quan Hongchan, Chen Yuxi, and Zhang Jiaqi participating. In the preliminaries, due to Chen Yuxi's major mistakes, Quan Hongchan advanced to the finals with the first place. However, in the final a few hours later, Chen Yuxi showed amazing adjustment ability, beating Quan Hongchan to win the championship with 436.80 points, and won two consecutive championships in the selection competition.
In the afternoon preliminaries, Quan Hongchan played well, ranking first with a total score of 415.50 points, Zhang Jiaqi ranked second with 391.35 points, and Lu Wei ranked third with 388.35 points. The favorite Chen Yuxi made a mistake in 207C and only ranked fourth with 380.10 points. However, the preliminaries don't mean anything, the only thing that affects is the order of appearance. Of the 12 contestants in the finals, the top 6 participated in the World Championships, Chen Yuxi appeared 9th, and Quan Hongchan was the finale. Chen Yuxi relied on his outstanding performance in the final, and completely ended the suspense of the championship before Quan Hongchan's last jump.
The first jump was 107B, Chen Yuxi and Quan Hongchan both scored 81 points to lead, while Zhang Jiaqi played poorly and only scored 69 points to rank fifth, and was slightly thrown away. In the second jump of 407C, Chen Yuxi played at a normal level, scoring 86.40 points, and Zhang Jiaqi scored 81.60 points, and the gap widened again. And Quan Hongchan relied on a perfect jump of 88 points, slightly ahead of Chen Yuxi to the top of the list.
The third jump optional action, Chen Yuxi's 6243D action, scored 84.15 points. Then Zhang Jiaqi made another huge mistake to blow up the fish, and 207C only scored 62.70 points, completely withdrawing from the championship ranks. And Quan Hongchan has the same action as Chen Yuxi, but the water entry is slightly worse, 81.60 points. In this way, Chen Yuxi completed the overtake and rose to the top of the list, and Quan Hongchan fell to second place.
In the fourth jump, Chen Yuxi scored 94.50 with a perfect 207C, while Quan Hongchan only scored 85.80 points. In this way, Chen Yuxi established a "huge" advantage of 9.2 points before the last jump. For other players, there may still be a chance for this advantage, but for players like Chen Yuxi and Quan Hongchan who are fighting with immortals, as long as Chen Yuxi does not make a mistake in the last jump, Quan Hongchan has almost no chance. As long as Chen Yuxi scores 91 points on the last jump, he can win the championship in advance.
Sure enough, Chen Yuxi's 5253B action scored 91.20 points, which means that Quan Hongchan will not be able to surpass Chen Yuxi even if she has a full score. In the end, 436.80 points won the championship, Quan Hongchan won the second place with 427.60 points, and Jiang Linjing won the third place with 377.90 points. This is Chen Yuxi's second defeat of Quan Hongchan in a national event after defeating Quan Hongchan in the Shanghai Championship in March. With the championships of these two stops, Chen Yuxi basically locked the Paris Olympics seat in advance.
