On August 3, 1980, Wang Kenan was born in Baoding, Hebei Province, and showed good athletic talent from an early age.
At the age of 7, Wang Kenan began diving training, entering the Hebei provincial team at the age of 10 and the national team at the age of 19.
Although late to fame, Wang Kenan quickly became one of the world champions of the Chinese diving team: at the 2001 World Swimming Championships, he partnered with Bloomberg to win the gold medal in the men's doubles 3m board.
In the following years, he achieved steady results and was given the opportunity to participate in the Athens Olympic Games.
Before the Athens Olympics, the Chinese diving team gathered at the big names, Wang Kenan's popularity was quite average. However, in Athens, his name was not only well known to the chinese people, but also recognized by the whole world.
Because he made a serious mistake in the final jump, he used a 0 point to hand over the gold medal of the 3-meter board double that he almost reached.

It was August 16, 2004, the final of the men's doubles 3m board at the Athens Olympics.
China's Bloomberg/Wang Kenan were steady, leading the way, 12 points ahead of second-placed Russians before the final jump. As long as it is played normally, the gold medal is none other than the Chinese combination.
At the beginning of the final jump, the Russian players made mistakes under pressure, and the conditions for Bloomberg/Wang Kenan to win the championship were easier: as long as there were no major mistakes, they were champions.
Unexpectedly, something bizarre happened at this time. Wang Kenan actually made a mistake and fell directly into the pool, even if teammate Bloomberg completed the action perfectly, the referee still collectively showed 0 points!
The gold medal in hand flew like this.

Since this was a two-person event, Wang Kenan's major mistake not only made him lose one gold medal, but also caused Bloomberg to miss a second gold medal. Wang Kenan is deeply natural, even if Bloomberg generously says " It doesn't matter."
At that time, the Chinese people attached great importance to the gold medal, and Wang Kenan was criticized by many sports fans. For quite some time, he was scolded so much that he didn't dare to go out.
In 2005, the overwhelmed Wang Kenan chose to retire.
After retiring from the army, he did not sink, first with the status of world champion, to Chinese min University for further study. Subsequently, he became the coach of the Hebei Diving Team, and in 2006 he was admitted to the Diving International Referee.
In 2011, he got married. In 2013, the child fell to the ground, and this Olympic sad mission seems to have been on the right track of life.

Yet fate did not seem to want to see him.
In the early morning of October 5, 2013, Wang Kenan, who was in Tianjin to enforce the diving competition of the East Asian Games, suffered a serious car accident. His car waited in the left turn zone according to traffic regulations, but was hit by a straight-forward vehicle coming from the opposite side.
Poor Wang Kenan was knocked out of the car and died directly.
The local traffic police later announced the cause of the accident, which was infuriating, the driver who caused the accident was actually running a red light after drunk driving, and Wang Kenan died too unjustly!
When family and friends learned the news of Wang Kenan's death, they were all heartbroken, and they could not help but resent the driver who caused the dangerous driving.
What is even more tragic is that Wang Kenan's daughter was just 4 months old at that time, and Wang Kenan had not yet had time to hear her daughter call him a father.

After Wang Kenan's death, the voices expressing regret on the Internet continued. But there are also some rumors that are not very appropriate, and these rumors are really not nutritious.
When some media introduced Wang Kenan, they actually called him the ex-boyfriend of diving superstar Guo Jingjing, and Guo Jingjing went to mourn Wang Kenan, which was interpreted as "the diving queen attended the funeral of her ex-boyfriend".
This rumor is not credible. Insiders revealed that their exchanges with the national team are indeed relatively large, but the reason is that they are all from Hebei, and they are only one year apart, and they share more common languages.
Today, Wang Kenan has been dead for nearly 7 years, and I don't know if he has forgotten the tragedies of the world in the kingdom of heaven.
