"Difficulty King" Yang Jian posted a text to explain the post-match move: I really hope to jump to Paris

Yang Jian, the "difficulty king" of the Chinese diving team who participated in the Olympic Games for the first time, wrote a long paragraph on his personal social media on August 9, telling his true feelings about participating in the Tokyo Olympic Games, and also responded to some questions raised by netizens after the game, and also expressed his hope that he could still jump to Paris and bring his career to a successful end.

Yang Jian played normally in the men's 10m platform final at the Tokyo Olympics on August 7, especially jumping out of one of the most difficult 109B moves in the international diving industry (churning forward and half-bending), a move with a difficulty factor of 4.1 that only he could complete, and also scored a total of 112.75. However, teammate Cao Yuan's full set of movements was more stable, and he finally won the championship with a slight advantage of 1.95 points. From the perspective of the overall pattern, the two won the championship and the runner-up respectively, and maintained the dominant position and championship honor of the Chinese team's men's platform jump, but from the perspective of the athletes, Yang Jian regretted that he could not win the gold medal, as a 27-year-old male player in the Chinese team, his mood was inevitably a little lost. In the post-match TV footage, Yang Jian failed to hug and congratulate Cao Yuan, which was also criticized by some netizens and became another topic of everyone cheering after the men's stage final.

In this regard, Yang Jian wrote: "Looking back at the men's single ten-meter platform final, when I finally saw that my championship was hopeless, that kind of heartache and that pain really can't be described in words, to be honest, I really couldn't laugh at that time, I could only cry without tears and shake my head to deny myself, painfully blamed myself." Similarly, I applaud my teammate @Cao Yuan for winning the championship for the Chinese team! Fortunately, I won the championship in China, forgive me, and did not give you a hug at the first time to express my congratulations. The brain is almost blank, like a walking corpse! ”

As the oldest player in the Chinese men's diving team with the highest action difficulty coefficient among the men's stage jumpers, 27-year-old Yang Jian has missed an Olympic Games, and his biggest wish is to come to this highest stage to show himself and win the championship. Yang Jian once said: "The Olympic Games are like a love that has never met, and you can only listen to each other's voices." I want to meet her in person and let the lover eventually become a family member. "The Olympic dream is fulfilled, and it does not live up to every hard training!" The expectation of the Olympic Games, the desire for the gold medal, and the final gap are probably the real feelings of Yang Jian's mood at the end of the game, so there is no need to harshly criticize his actions.

Yang Jian also wrote: The first Olympic trip is over, China diving for the country to compete for 7 gold and 5 silver good results, this is the glory of the country, but also my personal glory, although I failed to complete my dream of champion, but as a member of the diving team I am really proud of this, proud! I am 27 years old, in the country I am the oldest jumper, everyone knows that my difficulty is also the largest in the world, the biggest difficulty is the cost of the body, the big difficulty is not difficult in the game, but difficult in daily training maintenance, maintenance, injuries, etc... This is my first Olympic Games, probably my last Olympic Games, to be honest I have tasted many failures, my road is not so smooth, people who know me should know that there is really not much time left for me, so! For this! Olympic! My dedication, my determination, my expectations, are really indescribable!!! So so much so, and finally, a kind reminder to some supporters of the cause of sports, please kindly interpret the voices expressed by athletes, and the so-called "expression management". We are almost all blank sheets of paper, and there are no complicated thoughts other than training and glory for the country. Oh yes, every athlete has an Olympic championship dream, and personally, I am no exception, and I have dreamed of it for 20 years. If I can, I hope that I can really regain my strength and go to "Paris" to crown the championship and draw a perfect end to my career.
