The women's 10-meter platform final of the Diving World Cup Finals held in the ancient capital of Xi'an has become the focus of global attention. In this pinnacle showdown, Chen Yuxi won the gold medal with an outstanding performance, while the high-profile Quan Hongchan unfortunately won the silver medal. This is not only a contest of skills, but also a baptism of the soul.
Chen Yuxi, as the "triple crown" of the World Championships, once again proved his strength in this competition. With a steady and outstanding performance, she conquered the judges and the audience, and finally stood on the top podium with a high score of 443.20 points. Every jump she made was almost perfect, whether it was in the air or the moment she entered the water, she showed the demeanor of a world-class athlete.
At the same time, Quan Hongchan also showed her style. Although she was a little less successful in the final score, winning silver with 410.70 points, she still had a good performance in the competition. Quan Hongchan performed quite well in four of her five jumps, especially in the first jump 107B and the second jump 407C, she scored 85.5 points and 91.20 points respectively, tied for first place with Chen Yuxi. However, in the crucial fourth jump 207C move, Quan Hongchan suffered a major mistake and only scored 66.00 points, which undoubtedly brought a lot of impact to her overall score.
After the game, when Quan Hongchan walked out of the pool and faced an interview with CCTV reporters, she showed maturity and wit that did not match her age. She seemed to have anticipated that reporters would ask her about her mistakes in the 207C move, so she took the initiative and humorously asked the reporter, "Do you want to ask about the mistakes of the 207C?" This kind of questioning not only eased the tension of the interview, but also showed that she was comfortable with her mistakes in the game.
In the subsequent interview, Quan Hongchan deeply reflected on her performance. She admits that she is not satisfied with the result of this match, and believes that she has not adjusted well in terms of mentality and has not played at the level she should have. Her words reveal a desire for victory and a strict demand for herself.
The reporter had an in-depth exchange with Quan Hongchan about the loss of the game. In the face of defeat, Quan Hongchan did not make excuses, but accepted it calmly, and said that she would do her best to dance well in every game. Her honesty and fighting spirit are awe-inspiring.
Looking forward to the future, we have reason to believe that Chen Yuxi and Quan Hongchan will continue to write their own legends on the road of diving. Quan Hongchan's calmness and fighting spirit in the face of setbacks will also inspire more young athletes to move forward bravely on the field.
The 2024 Paris Olympics are just around the corner, and we look forward to Chen Yuxi and Quan Hongchan being able to shine on a bigger stage. For Quan Hongchan, the experience of this Xi'an Diving World Cup is undoubtedly a valuable experience. We believe that in the coming days, she will appear in the Olympic Games with a more mature and stable attitude, and strive for more honors for the Chinese diving team. Let's look forward to their performances at the Paris Olympics.
