With the Paris Olympics approaching, the competition and team spirit within the Chinese diving team have once again become the focus of attention from the outside world. In particular, the relationship and competition between the two star players in the diving world, Chen Yuxi and Quan Hongchan, has not only aroused extensive discussion, but also is regarded as an important factor in promoting each other's progress.
In an interview on May 7, in response to a reporter's question about the competitive relationship between her and Quan Hongchan, Chen Yuxi frankly shared her opinion: "There is competition to improve. Thanks to Quan Hongchan's appearance, if it weren't for her, to be honest, I probably wouldn't have jumped to the current level. These words not only show Chen Yuxi's respect for Quan Hongchan, but also reflect her positive attitude towards competition.

The competition between the two is not a one-way pressure, but a benign interaction that motivates each other and makes progress together. Chen Yuxi also revealed that they usually urge each other and constantly improve their technical and psychological quality through daily training and communication. "We all hope that when the Olympic Games come, we can both show our strength and level, and at the same time show the Chinese sportsmanship."
In the upcoming Paris Olympics, Chen Yuxi is expected to compete for gold in the women's 10-meter platform event. If successful, she will become only the second player in Chinese diving history to complete a Grand Slam. This is not only a great achievement for her personal career, but also another proof of China's status as a diving powerhouse.
This benign competition has also been highly praised by Zhou Jihong, the head coach of the Chinese diving team. Zhou Jihong once pointed out: "Don't look at her as a champion now, she may be nothing in a month or two." Although this sentence sounds a bit harsh, it is actually a spur for athletes to continue to work hard and constantly challenge themselves. If Chen Yuxi wins gold at the Paris Olympics, it will undoubtedly make Zhou Jihong feel very gratified.
The story of Chen Yuxi and Quan Hongchan is a typical case in the Chinese sports world, showing what kind of competition can bring about the common growth of individuals and teams. On a big stage like the Olympics, every diving action is a challenge to the limit of technology, but also a test of psychological endurance. Through such high-level competition, the two athletes have not only improved themselves, but also the overall performance of the team.
With the Olympics approaching, the healthy rivalry between Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi will continue to be closely watched by sports fans. Their stories have inspired countless young athletes and shown how competition and collaboration, challenge and support are intertwined to shape exceptional athletes and teams in the best competitive sport. Let's look forward to the wonderful performance of these two Chinese diving stars at the Paris Olympics.
