In the early morning of February 6, Beijing time, the FINA Doha World Championships diving women's 10-meter platform final, this time the champion is no longer Chen Yuxi, but Quan Hongchan, with a total score of 436.25 points in 5 jumps, winning the championship with a lead of nearly 10 points, creating a personal career record, because this is her first World Championships single event championship, and at the same time ending Chen Yuxi's 3 consecutive championships.
Previously, Quan Hongchan won all the championships in the single events of the Olympic Games, National Games, and Asian Games, but the World Championships and World Cup have not been successful, and the main reason is that the stability of the on-the-spot performance is not as good as Chen Yuxi.
However, there is a detail worth noting, that is, Quan Hongchan lost to Chen Yuxi in these games, each time it was the first in the preliminaries and the first in the semifinals, and when the final became second, Chen Yuxi became the first, and the strategy of giving up the last finale of the final was very successful.
This time at the World Championships in Doha, Quan Hongchan changed her usual strategy of trying her best to win the first place in the preliminaries and semifinals, of which she was 35.90 points behind Chen Yuxi in the preliminaries, and 16.55 points behind in the semifinals again, and advanced to the final with the second place, and Chen Yuxi won the qualification for the last finale.
In this regard, domestic netizens believe that Quan Hongchan should get "expert guidance" this time, so that the strategy of ranking second in the preliminaries is right, and the pressure on herself will not be too great, and she will wait until the finals to jump out of her best state.
Coming to the finals, Quan Hongchan became the leader from the beginning, and her performance was very stable, Chen Yuxi's side did not show the strength of the defending champion, and she was 0.05 points behind Quan Hongchan after the first 3 jumps.
The 4th jump is a 207C action, Chen Yuxi has been able to surpass Quan Hongchan many times to win the championship, basically in this action to open up the difference, this time it was unsuccessful, getting 84.15 points, Quan Hongchan got close to a full score of 97.35 points, of which 4 judges scored 10 points, and was completely conquered by Quan Hongchan's splash disappearance technique.
Despite the last jump, Chen Yuxi scored 91.20 points, but still failed to achieve a reversal, seeing Quan Hongchan lock the first place and miss the 4th consecutive championship of the World Championships. After the game, Chen Yuxi congratulated Quan Hongchan very generously, and the two hugged each other tightly.
The last finale of the finale, there was some pressure, this time Quan Hongchan changed her strategy, and finally succeeded in winning the first place, and finally won the coveted World Championships singles championship.
