On April 19, Beijing time, at the Xi'an Station of the 2024 FINA Diving World Cup Finals, the first event on the first day, the women's doubles 10-meter platform, the Chinese team Quan Hongchan/Chen Yuxi will compete for the championship.
In this event, the Quan Hongchan/Chen Yuxi combination won the championship with a total score of 364.86 points, surpassing the second-place Canadian combination with 68.76 points.
Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi chose the 201B movement for the first jump, which is a forward somersault and half a circle of bending, which has a relatively low difficulty coefficient, but requires the athlete to have good body control and aerial posture. They scored 54.60 points on this jump, which was a good start to the competition.
Next, they performed 301B on the second jump, which is a reflexive somersault and half-circle flexion, which is slightly more difficult and requires more physical strength and better coordination. In this jump, they performed even better, scoring 56.40 points.
The third jump, 107B, is a backward somersault of two and a half bends, which is more difficult and requires the athlete to have excellent postural control and flip speed in the air. Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi showed their superb skills on this jump, scoring 80.10 points, which significantly improved their overall score.
The fourth jump 407C is an inward somersault for three and a half weeks and a knee hug, which is a difficult maneuver that requires a lot of physical fitness and technical requirements for athletes. Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi completed the jump with an almost perfect performance, scoring 88.32 points, further cementing their lead in the competition.
In the final round, they opted for 5253B, which is a backward somersault of two and a half turns and a half bend, one of the most difficult of all. Under such high pressure, Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi still maintained their calmness and concentration, and completed the jump perfectly, and finally scored 85.44 points.
