"I've disappointed you again today, I'm sorry everyone. In an interview after the Xi'an World Cup final, Quan Hongchan's sincere apology sparked heated discussions among netizens. On the one hand, she was comforted and encouraged by fanatical fans, but on the other hand, someone "sprayed" her fiercely.
"Even this kind of low-level mistake can be made, don't say any more grand slams!"
"Do you think you can win with a face? You're still too young. "Some bitter and mean remarks are chilling.
As the absolute main force of the Chinese diving team, Quan Hongchan did perform abnormally in this World Cup, and she herself admitted that she made low-level mistakes in the key 207C action link. However, for a champion who has won all the gold medals at the Olympics, occasional defeats are inevitable.
So, let's take a look at what this "diving queen" said after the game? How did she understand and respond to all kinds of criticism from netizens? Through some analysis, perhaps we can better understand this young girl who was once pinned on high hopes, but now she has repeatedly fallen into the whirlpool of public opinion.
Speaking of all-red Zen, everyone must be familiar with it. The "diving queen", who won all three gold medals in women's single diving at the Rio Olympics, once became the pride of the country.
On the field, Quan Hongzen has always been at ease, and his skills are astonishing. Her iconic one-word horse whirls through the air and is breathtaking. Even FINA's expert judges praised her steady performance.
In fact, before joining the national team, Quan Hongchan was already a household name as the "Little Prince of Diving". Since the age of 9, she has been winning gold and silver at the National Junior Diving Championships, and her potential is limitless. Years of hard training have allowed her to gradually grow into a diving athlete.
But at the just-concluded Xi'an Diving World Cup, the "diving queen" who has won the World Cup championship five times, once again swallowed the bitter fruit of "falling off the altar". In the final round of diving, she made a mistake in a relatively simple move and ended up missing out on the title.
After the game, Quan Hongchan blamed himself and cried. Years of hard work have come to naught in an instant. As her head coach, Lao Ma can't hide his frustration. He said that perhaps due to the recent overwork in training, Quan Hongchan lacked the concentration he should have at the most critical moment.
However, even if he has fallen off the altar several times, Quan Hongchan is still the standard-bearer of the Chinese diving team. Her extraordinary perseverance and tenacious fighting spirit will always be remembered. On the way to win gold in the next World Championships, he will win glory for the country again.
At that time, Chinese player Quan Hongchan was in the final part of the 207C difficult move. Known as the "Queen of Gymnastics", this movement is a rare level of difficulty, involving multiple 180-degree rotations in the air and a series of movements that twist the limits of the human body.
Everything went smoothly until the last action session. Quan Hongchan made a breathtaking 4 and a half rotations in the air, but at the last moment of landing, her body was obviously distorted! The slow mirror replay of the live broadcast clearly showed the terrifying scene: Quan Hongchan's upper body seemed to be twisted into an "S" shape by an invisible big hand, her waist was twisted at an incredible angle, and her legs were bent beyond the limits of the human body.
This distortion lasted only 0.5 seconds, but it was enough to make the jaws of the audience and the judges drop. There was a nerve-numbing silence in the audience, and everyone's eyes were firmly locked on this shocking scene.
Although this incredible distortion action only existed in the last moment, it also cast a strange shadow on Quan Hongzen's entire set of movements. In the end, Quan Hongchan only scored 63.60 points in this action, a difference of nearly 20 points from the gold medal, and missed the medal.
Hey, Quan Hongchan's performance in this diving World Championships is really laughable!
As the number one contributor to the Chinese diving team, she has always been strong, and she has been able to defeat the crowd in many important events and win the full house. So when she went against the norm in the women's 3-meter springboard final and only ranked 5th overall, netizens expressed shock and disappointment.
"What's going on? Is Quan Hongchan possessed by a ghost today?" "I see that her movements are a little stiff with every jump, her breathing is not very natural, and her state is obviously average. "As the top seed, it's a bit unreasonable that she was crushed by the youngsters. "
The "diving fans" on the Internet are naturally the most distressed, after all, Quan Hongchan has been close to winning the "Grand Slam" with only one kick at the door several times. This defeat undoubtedly dragged her back again.
"Poor Hongchan, she is one step away from her dream. "
"If she wins the championship and becomes an all-around diving Grand Slam winner, what a pity!"
But it's no wonder that she's getting older, and her physical strength and concentration can't keep up with the young people. "
However, there are also more rational netizens who played a round for Quan Hongchan. After all, no one is perfect, and even the top athletes will inevitably go out of shape on the field.
"I watched her record just now, and it is true that there are a lot of low-level mistakes, but the overall performance is okay. "
"You know, she's 16 years old, and it's not easy to maintain such a high level at this age. "
"It's normal for her to be a little tired this year, so hopefully she can adjust her form later. "
The good attitude of Quan Hongzen has also been widely praised. After the match, she generously congratulated the winner, Chen Yuxi, and confidently said: "I will continue to work hard and be fully prepared for the next big competition and the Paris Olympics." "
Quan Hongchan's dissatisfaction in this event certainly makes people sigh. But as she herself said, for a professional athlete, winning and losing is really commonplace. What's more, she shows the humility, self-confidence and non-giving character that an excellent athlete should have.
Life is like this, we often encounter all kinds of setbacks and challenges, the key is to be like all red Zen, never give up, with dreams and courage to move forward. Only in this way can we grow in the face of adversity, get back up after falling, overcome one difficulty after another, and finally win our own honor.
