A few days ago, diving Olympic champion Chen Aisen participated in the Beijing Satellite TV program, during which he shared some interesting things with his sister Quan Hongchan. However, when talking about the deceased mentor Wu Guocun for the first time, Chen Aisen was a little depressed, which was really distressing.
Chen Aisen is the Rio Olympics men's singles, double ten meters platform champion, but in recent years due to injury reasons, his state has declined, in Tokyo he only participated in one event, partner Cao Yuan won the double silver medal. Later in the National Games, Chen Aisen personally won 2 gold and 1 bronze, of which after leading the Guangdong boy band to achieve 7 consecutive championships, Chen Aisen shed sad tears on the podium.
At that time, the audience and fans did not know what happened, until after the game, through the dynamics of Chen Aisen and Xie Sibei, everyone learned that it was the head coach of the Guangdong diving team and Chen Aisen was the mentor Wu Guocun who died.
Recently, when Chen Aisen was a guest on a Beijing satellite TV program, he talked about his mentor Wu Guocun for the first time. When the host asked what Coach Wu Guocun meant to you, Chen Aisen replied: "He is a brother to me, a father and a friend, and a teacher." From the time I was 11 years old to 25 or 26 years old, very close and very close. ”
"I was about two weeks before I set off for the Tokyo Olympics, in June, when he passed away. It was one morning when he got up, and he said he went to breakfast, and then in the cafeteria he had a sudden heart attack. Chen Aisen recalled.
When talking about the death of his mentor, Chen Aisen was a little sad, saying that Wu Dao's death was a huge loss for diving, because he cultivated many talents. Lau Lishi, Hu Jia, He Chong, Luo Yutong, Zhang Yanquan, Chen Aisen, these 6 Olympic champions, are all brought out by Wu Guocun. It can be seen that he has made great contributions to diving in Guangdong and diving in China.
Chen Aisen also revealed that the reason why he shed tears when the men's group awarded the national games was not only because he remembered the mentor, but also because the Guangdong diving male and female groups won the championship together, which was the wish of the mentor. After all, although the Guangdong men's team has won 7 consecutive championships, the women's team has won the championship for the second time in 20 years. In the project that best reflects the overall strength of a team, Guangdong won the championship, which shows that Guangdong diving is indeed the only one in China.
In addition to being the head coach of Chen Aisen, Wu Guocun is also the head coach of the Guangdong diving team. And 4 months after his death, the Guangdong diving team finally confirmed the new head coach, he is He Weiyi. He Weiyi is the coach of Xie Sipi and Quan Hongchan, and his two disciples have won a total of 8 gold medals in the Olympic + National Games in 2 months, which shows that He Weiyi's coaching ability is indeed beyond doubt. I believe that under the leadership of He Weiyi, the Guangdong diving team will be able to continue the tradition and create brilliance again!
