Although synchronized swimming is a niche competition, its influence cannot be compared with football, basketball, and volleyball, but there is no shortage of spectators, especially male audiences! Watching a synchronized swimming competition, I don't feel that it is a game at all, but rather like watching a performance. When it comes to synchronized swimming, I have to mention the twins Of Jiang Wenwen and Jiang Tingting. At the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Jiang Wenwen and Jiang Tingting achieved the fourth place, creating the history of Chinese synchronized swimming. But because Jiang Wenwen and Jiang Tingting did not want to be "unspoken rules", they directly announced their retirement!
During the 12th National Games in 2013, Jiang Wenwen/Jiang Tingting lost to Wu Yiwen/Huang Xuechen in the double event of the National Games, and after the game, Jiang Wenwen/Jiang Tingting refused to participate in the award and press conference! If Jiang Wenwen / Jiang Tingting just because they lose the game, they will never refuse to participate in the awards and press releases, Jiang Wenwen and Jiang Tingting have participated in countless competitions, and they have already looked down on winning or losing. After that, Jiang Wenwen and Jiang Tingting held a press conference in their personal names, apologizing for their absence at the press conference on the one hand, and expressing their views on arbitration issues on the other hand!
Jiang Wenwen and Jiang Tingting believe that the double event of the National Games is suspected of black box operation, and they have not won the championship if they perform better in the qualifiers, and they hope to be treated fairly! Jiang Wenwen and Jiang Tingting appealed against the bronze medal, but the result was that they needed to collect and provide relevant evidence themselves. Unlike other sports competitions, synchronized swimming is a scoring competition, and they have difficulty finding evidence. That is to say, although the Economic Commission has agreed to Jiang Wenwen and Jiang Tingting's request, they are unlikely to win.
In the end, Jiang Wenwen and Jiang Tingting did not want to be announced by the "unspoken rules", and they called this day "the darkest day of their sports careers"! Although Jiang Wenwen and Jiang Tingting announced their retirement, the matter did not end there. After that, after a thorough investigation by the relevant departments, there were indeed problems with the results of the finals of the double projects of the National Games. Four years later, Jiang Wenwen and Jiang Tingting finally waited for the truth, when the person in charge of the competition tampered with the results. If it weren't for this incident, Jiang Wenwen and Jiang Tingting wouldn't have retired because of this!
After that, although Jiang Wenwen and Jiang Tingting returned to the sports world again, due to the lack of systematic training for a long time, the strength of Jiang Wenwen and Jiang Tingting declined seriously, and they announced their retirement after the Jakarta Asian Games. Today, the 35-year-old Jiang Wenwen and Jiang Tingting still have charm, each forming their own small family, and has been upgraded to "mother", very happy! After retiring, Jiang Wenwen and Jiang Tingting did not leave synchronized swimming, but became coaches and continued to contribute to the cause of synchronized swimming in a different identity.
