The 2024 Diving World Cup Finals has ended, Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi will start PK again in the women's 10-meter platform single event, Chen Yuxi relied on stable performance to score 443.20 points and won the World Cup gold medal in one fell swoop. I have to say that Chen Yuxi is indeed a big-hearted athlete, her performance in the preliminaries is often very average, but as long as it reaches the finals, there will be almost no big mistakes, and the performance in each round is perfect, in this regard, Chen Yuxi is indeed the strongest diver at present. The 17-year-old Quan Hongchan won the silver again, made a mistake in the 207C action, and only scored 66 points in this jump, and the final total score was 410.70 points, which was not very ideal.
After the competition, Olympic hardware king Chen Ruolin did not blame Quan Hongchan, but touched her face to encourage, just like a big sister, and Quan Hongchan also pouted and coquettish, it was so cute, and the interaction between master and apprentice was very heartwarming. In fact, Quan Hongchan did not achieve the desired results, she was already very self-blaming, if Chen Ruolin still criticized Quan Hongchan, it would only make Xiaohong more frustrated, at this time should be more encouraged, Chen Ruolin is also a very good coach.
According to reports, Chen Ruolin said in an interview that as Quan Hongchan's head coach, she doesn't want Xiaohong to take her detours, whether it is training or competition, she will teach Quan Hongchan the right way. And Quan Hongchan was asked about her favorite diver, and Xiaohong's answer was also very cute, "Coach Chen, my coach", and with a proud tone.
Chen Ruolin, 32 years old, is the Olympic gold medalist and the strongest diver in the women's 10-meter platform event, having won gold in three consecutive Olympic Games. In the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2012 London Olympics, Chen Ruolin won the gold medal in the single and double events, and in the 2016 Rio Olympics, Chen Ruolin partnered with Liu Huibian to win the gold medal in the double event, and won 5 Olympic gold medals in her career, surpassing legendary divers such as Fu Mingxia, Guo Jingjing, and Wu Minxia. After the Rio Olympics, Chen Ruolin retired due to injury, and then continued to work in the diving team, and after the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, she served as the head coach of Quan Hongchan.
Chen Ruolin was strict with herself when she was an athlete, and she didn't eat dinner for 5 consecutive years, just to keep her weight stable, so that she could achieve better results in diving competitions, and it was difficult for ordinary people to persevere, but Chen Ruolin did it, which is why she was able to achieve great success. After becoming Quan Hongchan's head coach, Chen Ruolin also asked Quan Hongchan to be strict with herself in terms of diet, not to let her eat snacks, and she couldn't overeat at ordinary times, and arranged a more regular and scientific diet method.
It is worth mentioning that after the World Cup, Quan Hongchan also specially cut a new hairstyle, judging from the photos exposed by netizens, Quan Hongchan is still holding fruit in her hand. There are still more than 90 days left before the Paris Olympics, I hope that Quan Hongchan will prepare seriously and strive to complete the defense of the title, the Chinese diving team has given birth to too many great athletes, and Quan Hongchan still has a long way to go if she wants to reach or even surpass several legendary athletes.
