Quan Hongchan was unconvinced and lost to Chen Yuxi!207C became an obstacle to winning gold, and the "princess hugged" her British girlfriend after the game
At the end of the women's 10-meter platform final at the 2024 FINA Diving World Cup Xi'an Station, two Chinese players Chen Yuxi and Quan Hongchan won the top two and stood on the podium with a huge advantage of 66 points ahead of the third place. This final was a battle between two Chinese girls from the beginning, and the "splash disappearance technique" was frequently staged, and the reason why Quan Hongchan was the runner-up was because of the mistake of the fourth jump.
Looking at Quan Hongchan's 5 jumps, the first jump 107B got 85.5 points; the second jump 407C was tied for first place with Chen Yuxi with a high score of 91.20 points; the third jump 6243D also broke through the 80-point mark and got 81.60 points; the fifth jump 5253B scored 86.40 points, but unfortunately there was a mistake in the fourth jump 207C, only 66.00 points.
It was this jump that widened the gap between Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi, and Chen Yuxi scored 87.45 points in 207C. After the game, Quan Hongchan analyzed the reasons for her "fried fish" mistake, and she felt that "I was still a little nervous, my mentality was not adjusted well, and I didn't play at the same level." Regarding the loss to teammate Chen Yuxi, Quan Hongchan expressed her dissatisfaction, she said, "I must be unconvinced, but as long as China takes me, I am also very happy!"
The action of 207C has always been the biggest reason hindering Quan Hongchan from going further. Every time I compete, it is about 207C Quan Hongchan's medal color, as long as this action Quan Hongchan does not make a mistake, there is a high probability that it will be a gold medal, and vice versa, it will be a silver medal, because Chen Yuxi's every action is very average. 207C is now not only a technical problem, but also a mental problem, and there are still 3 months before the Paris Olympics, which is enough to once again undergo a "qualitative change".
After the game, the photo of Quan Hongchan and her foreign girlfriend Pandolini's "princess hug" was put on social platforms, and it sparked heated discussions and quickly appeared on the hot search. I saw that the smaller Quan Hongchan picked up Pandolini in a "princess hug" posture, and both of them were smiling and smiling very happily. It is worth mentioning that Pandolini won the bronze medal in Xi'an and is the best foreign player. Such a harmonious scene reflects the spirit of the athletes "on the field is an opponent and off the field is a friend", which is particularly intimate.
The friendship between Quan Hongchan and British best friend Spendolini is far more than a "princess hug" after the game. After the Berlin competition, Quan Hongchan and Pandolini hugged warmly, and Pandolini, who was one lap larger than Quan Hongchan, hugged the petite and lovely Quan Hongchan in his arms to show the medals, and the group photo also caused heated discussions. In addition, Quan Hongchan also massaged her girlfriends to relax her body during training breaks, while Pandolini smiled with a smile on her face.
