The 2021 World Gymnastics Championships were held in Japan, and in the all-around final on October 22, Zhang Boheng, a talented post-00s talent in China, won the gold medal in the all-around with three single firsts in free gymnastics, vaulting and parallel bars, and two single seconds on the ring bar, with a total score of 87.981 points. Japanese Olympic champion Daiki Hashimoto, although still playing at home, was second with an overall score of 87.964 points.
Zhang Boheng showed super strength, and in the Olympic Trials, his performance was also very outstanding, in the Gymnastics National Championships and Tokyo Olympic Trials in May 2021, Zhang Boheng won the free gymnastics single championship and men's team, individual all-around runner-up.
However, the men's gymnastics team excluded Zhang Boheng from the Olympic list on the grounds that he had not participated in any world competitions, and only let him be an alternate player, and finally did not have the opportunity to play in the Olympic Games.
Chinese men's gymnastics ultimately did not win a team gold medal at the Olympics. If there is Zhang Boheng, maybe the situation will be different, his ability is very comprehensive, it will be another strong point of the Chinese gymnastics men's team, and he has the strength to impact the gold medal in the all-around event and the free gymnastics event.
The Chinese gymnastics men's team abandoned the talented player. In contrast, Quan Hongchan was lucky, she also had no experience in international competitions, and even never went abroad, but she got the opportunity to compete in the Olympic Games.
Zhou Jihong uses the performance criteria of the Olympic selection competition to select the participants, which is very fair, that is, to determine the fate by the strength shown in your selection competition. During the preparation period, some people suggested that Zhou Jihong replace Quan Hongchan, who was once in an unstable state, and replace him with Zhang Jiaqi, but Zhou Jihong still trusted Quan Hongchan.
It turns out that Zhou Jihong is really too cattle, she withstood the pressure and gave Quan Hongchan a chance, and Quan Hongchan grasped it. If Zhou Jihong abandons Quan Hongchan, although the Chinese diving team will also win the championship, it may stifle the enthusiasm of a super genius.
The phenomenon of full red chan actually has a great role in promoting diving, and I believe that more and more teenagers will love this sport. Obviously, Quan Hongchan was luckier than Zhang Boheng.
