Entering the end of December, the next step is to send away 2023 and usher in 2024. Every year at the end of the year, the major official media will start to select the sports figures who will perform very well at the end of the year. Just recently, Sports Weekly announced the seven candidates for the 2023 sports role model, which has attracted much attention.
It can be seen that in this list of female athletes, very outstanding athletes in the industry have been selected, including Zhang Yufei, Zhang Weili and other figures of the year. In addition, Quan Hongchan, who everyone likes very much, was also selected for this list, which is exciting. After all, Sports Weekly itself is a very influential media in China, and this time it can be selected into the list of seven candidates, which means that each of their athletes is very influential.
It is worth mentioning that in this list, in addition to Quan Hongchan, a 16-year-old girl, including Zhang Yufei, Ge Manqi, and Zheng Qinwen, their ages are basically over 20 years old. In this way, Quan Hongchan is only 16 years old, and she is undoubtedly the youngest athlete in it, and being selected for the annual list this time is enough to see that her influence is very great. Although in a series of competitions this year, Quan Hongchan's overall performance may not be as good as Chen Yuxi's, and she did not win multiple championships as she wished. But it is gratifying that Sister Hong has won two gold medals in this year's Asian Games, and this time she is undoubtedly deserved to be included in this important list.
Here, I would like to congratulate Sister Hong for getting what she wanted, and her hard work has finally paid off. From the current point of view, the reason why Quan Hongchan can be included in this list at this age is not only because of her fame, but also because of her influence in the entire sports world. As you know, the original Chinese diving team was depressed after Guo Jingjing and her retirement, even if they achieved very good results, it was always difficult to get out of the circle, and there was no real top-level figure who could win everyone's love and attract more people to pay attention to the diving project. It wasn't until Quan Hongchan was born in 2021 that she became famous at the Tokyo Olympics and became the national daughter in everyone's mind, that the Chinese diving team's project attracted more attention, and it has been developing better and better recently.
So to be honest, we pay attention to Quan Hongchan's inclusion in the annual list, not only the honors she has won, but also the influence behind her and her contribution to the development of Chinese sports. That's pretty remarkable. Why are they like Zhang Yufei, Zhang Weili and Zheng Qinwen also selected for this list? is because they are leaders in their fields like Sister Hong, and with their outstanding performance, their respective projects have gained more love from sports audiences.
Finally, I wish Sister Hong that she will not have too much pressure, continue to move forward with a normal heart, and strive to achieve more proud results in the Paris Olympics next year, come on.
