The Paris Olympics will open on the evening of July 26 local time. According to the schedule, the first gold medal of the Games will be awarded on the morning of July 27, and it may be the shooting 10m air rifle mixed team or the diving women's double 3m springboard event (which event will finish first when it is seen). These two events are the advantages of the Chinese team, in comparison, the accidental factor of shooting is larger, and there is almost no suspense for China to win the championship in diving.

In the women's double 3-meter springboard diving event, the Chinese team will send athletes Chen Yiwen/Chang Yani, both of whom are participating in the Olympics for the first time. Since 2022, they have never let the gold medal in this event fall aside, and the score has left their opponents far behind. In the singles event, the duo also took turns sitting on the top podium of the World Championships, showing their dominance.

However, recently, at a critical moment in the preparation for the Olympics, Chen Yiwen/Chang Yani have faced unprecedented difficulties.

According to CCTV's Olympic special program "People in the Olympic Year", after the Montreal station of the Diving World Cup in March this year, Chang Yani suddenly broke out with a shoulder injury, was forced to rest for three weeks, and withdrew from the Diving World Cup finals in April.

When she heard the news that she was going to take a three-week break, Changyani cried.

"I'm an athlete who can't stop training because I don't have much talent and I have to work hard to get my footing," Changyani said. No matter how hard it is, no matter how painful it is, no matter how tired it is, but [three weeks out of training due to injury] this incident is a critical blow to me, because my sports career has not stopped for so long, and I have not been on vacation for so long. ”

At the Diving World Cup Montreal station on March 3, Chen Yiwen/Chang Yani won the championship together, and then Chang Yani was injured and rested. Therefore, this competition is the last competition that Chen Yiwen/Chang Yani will participate in together before the Olympics.

Regarding Chang Yani's injury, Chen Yiwen admitted that he was also a little nervous: "No one thought that the last race before the Olympics would be Montreal, and I was not mentally prepared for this at that time. ”

For the heavy task of hitting the first gold medal of the Paris Olympics, the two are also a little apprehensive. Changyani said that she was not very confident in her recovery, and she had not been in the water for three weeks, and she was very anxious.

Chen Yiwen also has a lot of distractions in his heart: "I think about it a lot, what if I can't dance well?" What if I don't get the gold medal? What if I lose it? These are things that have never been considered before. ”

However, the coach has full confidence in them, and as long as they play consistently, the results will be satisfactory.

In the Paris Olympics, I hope Chen Yiwen/Chang Yani can overcome difficulties and achieve a breakthrough. Bless them!
