On February 4, 2024, the first upset broke out at the World Championships in Doha, Chinese star Zheng Jiuyuan played abnormally, not only did not have a medal, but also ranked second to last, and the men's 1-meter board diving missed 10 consecutive championships, which was a big surprise, and Mexico's Ibarra won the championship.
The Chinese team sent the main lineup at this World Championships, with a number of world champions in the list, Quan Hongchan and others have attracted attention to their performance, this time the focus is on preparing for the Olympics, so the coaching staff gave up individual events, just before the end of the mixed team diving, the British team won the gold, Mexico won the silver medal, the Australian team won the bronze, and the women's 1-meter springboard Australian player won the gold, and no Chinese player registered.
Men's 1-meter board diving, the comprehensive strength of Chinese players is too strong, has monopolized the gold medal of the event for nine consecutive years, although it is not an official Olympic competition, but the coaching staff still attaches more importance to it, this time it is arranged for world champion Zheng Jiuyuan to play, and Li Shixin, who represents the Australian team, is also the favorite to win the championship, I really didn't expect Mexico's Ibarra to have the last laugh.
At the end of the six rounds of the finals, Ibarra won the gold with 431.75 points, Li Shixin won the silver medal with 395.70 points, Britain's Rose won the bronze with 393.10 points, and Zheng Jiuyuan scored 334.35 points to play abnormally, two of which were major mistakes, and only scored more than 30 points, resulting in missing the podium, ranking second to last in the final of 12 people, only Ibarra's total score was more than 400 points, and the championship can be said to be deserved.
Although there are also factors that do not pay attention to non-Olympic events, but the nine consecutive years of winning the championship came to an abrupt end, it is indeed worth summarizing, from the perspective of the whole process, Zheng Jiuyuan's difficulty has no advantage, the on-the-spot performance fluctuates greatly, and there is an obvious problem with the mentality, but also to affirm the progress of the opponent, Li Shixin is in good condition and did not win, Ibarra is indeed capable, and he scored 80 points just up, which brought pressure to Zheng Jiuyuan.
Mixed doubles 10-meter platform brought good news, Huang Jianjie / Zhang Jiaqi played steadily, won the championship with a good score of 358.32 points, this is the first gold medal of the Chinese team in this World Championships, synchronized swimming women's single technical selection, Chinese teenager Xu Huiyan won bronze, Greece's Plataniti won gold to make history, Canada's Simonno won the silver medal, and the Chinese team won 1 gold and 1 bronze on the second day of competition.
At the end of the marathon swimming women's 10 kilometers, the Netherlands' Van Lowendahl won the gold, Spain's Valdés won the silver medal, Tunisia's Andre won the bronze, and the Chinese star Xin Xin won the 37th place in a mediocre state, and then the women's 10-meter diving preliminaries, Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi ushered in their debut, and the men's double 3-meter board diving final, Wang Zongyuan/Long Daoyi tried to defend the title, so stay tuned.
