At the Tokyo Olympics, a strange little girl attracted everyone's attention. The 14-year-old Quan Hongchan is the youngest player in the Chinese Tokyo Olympic team, don't look at the young age of Quan Hongchan, but when she arrives on the field, she is not afraid of the field, and won the championship of the women's diving single 10 meters platform with a full score of 3 jumps and a total score of 466 points. In addition to the excellent performance on the field, outside the arena, Quan Hongchan's straight and cute personality is also a lot of fans for her.
Our little girl was so cute off the field that she was nicknamed "Brother Apricot". The origin of this nickname comes from an interview. When the reporter asked Quan Hongchan, who was only 13 years old at the time, what was his personality? Our little confusion actually replied, "Brother Apricot?" Who is Brother Apricot. After that, the nickname spread. Of course, Quan Hongchan's Geng Zhi quote is far more than that, "Why did you choose to dive?" He replied: "When I was a child, I didn't like to read, my grades were not good, I didn't have to read when I practiced diving"; "Every time I played, what did the coach ask of you" "The coach didn't ask me anything"... In the Olympic Games, which should have been a serious and nervous state, with the addition of Quan Hongchan, it became inexplicably cute. In the semi-finals of the women's singles 10-meter platform competition, Quan Hongchan finished the competition before Chen Taoxi, and when Chen Taoxi finished the competition, Quan Hongchan walked over and dragged the little sister and said, "Starve to death, hurry up and cook." "Sure enough, everything is not as important as cooking.
For sports fans familiar with Chinese diving, in the diving event, the fastest renewal of the project is the women's single 10 meters platform, in the history of diving into the Olympic Games for more than 30 years, only one person has won the championship of the women's single 10 meters platform, that is, Chen Ruolin, Chen Ruolin has achieved the feat of winning the women's single 10 meters platform championship twice at the Beijing Olympic Games and the London Olympic Games. Other athletes, such as Ren Qian, won the women's singles 10m platform at the Rio Olympics, but at the Tokyo Olympics, they did not even enter the team selection competition. The reason is that the platform is different from the springboard, the platform has higher requirements for the weight of the athlete, and on the high platform of up to 10 years, the lighter the weight, the more stretched the action will be, and the smaller the splash will be. The biggest difficulty female athletes encounter in their careers is that their physical development is closed.
Recently, Chen Taoxi's mother and coach made a guest appearance on a show to share the preparation story of Chen Taoxi. When the host asked: "Quan Hongchan's movements are perfect, and the moment he enters the water is like a needle, does Chen Taoxi need more effort to reach such a level?" Chen Taoxi's mother also replied: "My daughter Chen Taoxi can also reach the level of water splash disappearance at the age of Quan Hongchan, but later with the development of the body, the splash will always appear, and every jumper must go through the physical development level." As for the problem that Chen Taoxi lost to Quan Hongchan twice in the Olympic Games and the National Games, Chen Taoxi's mother explained: "First of all, Chen Taoshi was injured, the action was somewhat distorted, which affected the normal play, and in the National Games, Chen Taoxi once led Quan Hongchan by more than 20 points, but Quan Hongchan performed perfectly again in the last two jumps, and Chen Taoxi seemed to have psychological fluctuations when leading, and then there was a big mistake in the 4th jump, and finally Quan Hongchan overtook Chen Taoxi, which was very regrettable. After seeing Chen Taoxi's mother's remarks, many netizens said, "This is too sour, this is too jealous of Quan Hongchan, and is fighting Quan Hongchan." ”
Although chen Taoxi's mother's words have caused controversy, but the words are not rough, physical development is what every female sports need to experience, especially in diving, gymnastics and other technical sports, breaking through the restrictions brought by physical development is more important. Previously, the diving queen Gao Min also publicly stated, "Don't kill Quan Hongchan, her body is not yet developed, once she enters the development period, it is like walking a tightrope, and it needs to constantly adjust the technology." This also indirectly shows that if Quan Hong Chan cannot break through the obstacles brought about by physical development, then it will definitely affect her competitive state, and I hope that Quan Hong Chan can overcome these difficulties and continue to realize her dream of diving.
