The family of the Asian Games gold medalist was present, my sister covered her mouth nervously, and my brother was questioned about his popularity?
In the final of the diving event of the 2024 Hangzhou Asian Games, Quan Hongchan and her partner Chen Yuxi won the gold medal in the final of the women's 10-meter platform double event. Their outstanding skills are admirable, leading the runners-up by nearly 90 points, making them an invincible golden combination. This is Quan Hongchan's first time winning the championship in the Asian Games, once again proving her strength.
On the day of the competition, Quan Hongchan's family came to the scene to cheer for her. Her brother Quan Jinhua and sister Quan Hongyue sat in the audience, staring at her sister's every move.
Quan Hongyue took her mobile phone and recorded Quan Hongchan's diving moment over and over again. Sometimes she is so nervous that she even subconsciously covers her mouth with her hands. As an older sister, she is extremely concerned about her sister's performance, for fear that she will make any mistakes.
Quan Jinhua clenched tightly with his fists and shouted loudly "Come on, old sister" to cheer for his sister. As the eldest son in the family, he has always been Quan Hongchan's most solid backing. Whenever his sister had a hard time on the field, he would cheer her on.
This is no longer all going to China to cheer for my sister on the spot. At the Hangzhou Asian Games and the Wuhan National Diving Championships last year, he brought his family to watch the games. It's just that Quan Hongchan was still well-known at that time, and the scene didn't attract much attention.
But with Quan Hongchan's outstanding performance at the Tokyo Olympics, her fame is growing. As the brother of the Olympic champion, Quan Jinhua is naturally known by many people. So when he appeared at his sister's competition again, it attracted a lot of attention and questions.
Some netizens believe that as the sister of the Olympic champion, Quan Jinhua should not come to "rub the heat". After all, he is just an ordinary person and has nothing to do with his sister's sports career. It is likely that he appeared just to use his sister's fame to promote his career.
This is not the case. Quan Jinhua has never used his sister's fame to his advantage. His main content on social platforms is to promote the agricultural products at home. Moreover, he took his family to cheer for his sister on the spot many times, and never disturbed his sister's training and competitions.
In this regard, Quan Hongchan has said many times that the support and encouragement of her family are very important to her. "Whenever they play at home, they're basically there. Although it sometimes raises some unnecessary suspicions, I know that they are all out of concern for me. ＂
This kind of family interaction between Quan Hongchan's family may seem ordinary to outsiders, but for a professional athlete, the support of his family is the biggest motivation.
Quan Hongchan has shown extraordinary athletic talent since she was a child, and her parents are also very supportive of her future sports career. However, becoming a good athlete is not an easy task. In addition to talent, it also requires perseverance and perseverance.
During the long training process, Quan Hongchan also had times of hesitation and vacillation. Those hard trainings, as well as repeated defeats, made her want to give up. Fortunately, her family has always been by her side, supporting her with actions and giving her great encouragement.
Quan Jinhua is one of the best. As the eldest son in the family, he not only has to share the burden of the family, but also keeps an eye on his sister's training. Whenever Quan Hongchan encounters a bottleneck, he will take the initiative to chat with her and encourage her not to give up her dreams.
Once, Quan Hongchan lost an important game and returned home depressed. Quan Jinhua saw it in his eyes and deliberately took her to work in the fields to let her feel the hardships of the farmers. He said, "Sister, although you are working very hard now, you have at least one skill, and you have a bright future in the future." But we, the peasants, have lived like this all our lives, and we don't even have a way out. So you have to cherish the opportunity now, stick to it, and there will definitely be a day when you get ahead in the future. ＂
Quan Hongchan was deeply touched after hearing this, and was determined to continue to work hard. Since then, whenever she encounters setbacks, she always remembers her brother's words and draws strength from them.
And Quan Hongyue, as an older sister, supports her sister in another way. She will regularly make some nutritious diets for Quan Hongchan and take care of her daily life. Sometimes Quan Hongchan trains late, and she will deliberately wait until midnight to prepare a supper for her sister.
Quan Hongyue said: "My sister is now the pride of our family, and of course I want to support her with all my might." As long as everything goes well for her on the court, I'm reassured. ＂
Not only the whole family, but even Quan Hongchan's teachers and coaches are secretly supporting her. They watched this little girl grow into an elite athlete step by step, and their hearts were extremely proud.
Quan Hongchan's coach Zhang Lei once said: "Hongchan has been very talented since she was a child, but what is more valuable is her tenacious character. She never gives up easily, and gritted her teeth and persevered every time she encounters difficulties. It is this tenacious fighting spirit that made her finally successful. ＂
Zhang Lei also revealed that when Quan Hongchan was in the most difficult time, he thought about giving up on her many times. But every time I saw her training hard, I made up my mind to support her. Sure enough, Quan Hongchan finally lived up to everyone's expectations and walked to the top step by step.
And after Quan Hongchan became famous, Zhang Lei and her other teachers also shared some interesting past stories. It turned out that when Quan Hongchan was a little girl, she showed extraordinary sports cells. When she was in physical education class, she was always the one with the best grades. In her spare time, she also likes to play football and basketball with her friends.
Once, Quan Hongchan accidentally fell while playing basketball and bled from her knee. But instead of crying, she silently wiped the wound with her hand and continued the game. Seeing this scene, the teachers knew that this child would definitely be able to go a long way in the future.
From elementary school to junior high school, Quan Hongchan has always been a "little sports expert" in the class. No matter what sport she plays, she is always at the top of her game. By the time she graduated from junior high school, she had already represented the school in many major competitions and won many gold medals.
It was precisely because of her outstanding talent and tenacious perseverance that Quan Hongchan was finally discovered by a professional diving team and started her career. Along the way, she has experienced countless hardships, but with her fighting spirit, she finally reached the peak of her life.
And her success is inseparable from the support and encouragement of her family and teachers. As she herself said, "My dream is not only my dream alone, but the dream of the whole family." With their support, I am where I am today. ＂
