People familiar with diving should remember the selection before the Gwangju World Championships, and there was a tragic situation in which Qiu Bo, Yang Hao, Chen Aisen, and Lian Junjie were equally divided and competed for a world championship men's 10m platform No. 2 position.
In the end, combining all factors, the 21-year-old Yang Hao was favored by the team and stood out. He also lived up to expectations in Gwangju, jumping out of a super high score of 585.75 with a set of low-difficulty moves, and staged a 10-point soaring battle with Yang Jian in the final, which made people addicted.
This national championship as the second station of the Olympic Games and next year's World Cup selection, the men's 10 meters platform in the imagination of many people, the competition should become more and more intense, into the white-hot stage, but with the withdrawal of Qiu Bo, the main battle of the platform is becoming simplistic.
Qiu Bo originally lost the competition for the men's stage at the Gwangju World Championships, but because his name still appeared in the sub-category of the mixed group, he still retained a touch of face.
However, during the preparation for the World Championships, due to emotional instability, his confidence in the 6 groups of actions was shaken. Qiu Bo's repeated requests for a change of action made the team lose patience with him, and when there was still a week before the departure, he was replaced by Yang Jian (non-Olympic projects were not selected, and the team committee decided the list). He himself was asked to temporarily leave the national team and return to the Sichuan provincial team.
Qiu Bo's foot "hurts" and his heart is more "hurt"
This change caught Qiu Bo a little off guard, and frustration pervaded his entire "vacation". Watching the full score battle between Yang Jian and Yang Hao at the World Championships, watching Chen Aisen in the doubles game, in a state of courage, he knew that he was actually getting farther and farther away from Tokyo.
Although qiu Bo was still on the training list after the World Championships, he also returned to the national team on July 22. But after nearly a month of thinking, he officially withdrew from the national team on August 15 and also withdrew from the qualification selection for the Tokyo Olympic Games.
Qiu Bo, who twice missed the Olympic champion and desperately wanted to realize his dream in Tokyo, finally ended his pursuit early. The national championship also did not appear in Yantai.
Qiu Bo's smile and gestures will not be reproduced in the plunge pool
Qiu Bo's withdrawal made the chaotic battle of the men's 10-meter platform gradually clear.
In the final on the 26th, Yang Jian rode the dust with 563.25 points to win the championship again, and the two selections ranked first, and has locked the qualification for the Tokyo World Cup next April. In the next three selections, if you can win the first place again, you will take the Tokyo Olympic qualification into your arms.
Yang Jian's performance allowed him to sit firmly in the seat of men's station No. 1
Although Yang Hao won the second place in this national championship after the World Championships, the difficulty became his biggest obstacle.
His full set of actions is 1.3 times lower than Yang Jian, 0.8 lower than Chen Aisen, and the difficulty of the world's famous players such as Britain's Daley and Russia's Bondal is also obviously different. If he wants to make a difference, he must play at a super level, and such a reality makes him lack enough confidence in the competition.
The 18-year-old Lian Junjie faces the same problem, and Yang Hao basically belongs to the same type of player - excellent action quality, high stability, but the difficulty is too low, coupled with the lack of competition experience, has been basically excluded from the single main force. The 4th place in this competition also objectively reflects his position in the men's stage.
Therefore, the no. 2 candidate for male station will basically be produced between Yang Hao and Chen Aisen.
The former gold medal partner had to compete fiercely against the Olympic seat
Chen Aisen, who only registered for the doubles competition at the World Championships, made people in the circle generally feel relieved that the double champion of the Rio Olympics had returned with his convincing performance.
But in just 2 months, he was like a different person, his movements were weak and weak, the water treatment was bad, and he had no confidence. On the 23rd, he and Cao Yuan unexpectedly lost, and on the 26th, in the single match, he was even more messed up. The 407b scored just 71.75 points, and the 6245d also made serious mistakes, scoring only 81 points. If it were not for the last jump of 5255b playing at the level he deserved, his third place position would probably be difficult to protect. In the final moments, he reversed The Practice Junjie, but only won a faint 0.35 points.
After the game, Chen Aisen was extremely sad, "I am now worse everywhere, and all aspects must be strengthened." Whether it is physical fitness, technical aspects, as well as their own life self-discipline! ”
Chen Aisen's problem to solve is far more than technology
The double harvest of love and career is originally a difficult thing, not to mention the 23-year-old boy who does not understand the world. The problem in front of Chen Aisen is far more than just turning over.
Due to the emergence of the women's stage jumping "genius girl" Chen Taoxi, the Dream Team has full confidence against North Korea in the single-player event. But the performance of the doubles in this national championship is worrying.
The rapid rise of Chen Taoxi was favored by the team. Zhang Jiaqi and Lu Wei, who have just won the championship at the World Championships, hastily dismantled the pair before the selection of this station. Instead, Zhang Jiaqi and Chen Taoxi were paired.
New combinations have emerged in the National Championships
The two men worked together for less than a month to usher in the national championship, and although they successfully won the championship, the effect was not ideal.
Zhang Jiaqi gave up the single competition due to a wrist injury, but the performance in the double was still stumbling. In the simplest prescribed action of the first jump, there is a slip-up. The 407c, the hardest jump for two people, also failed to escape the nightmare of mistakes. The synchronization of two people is even more difficult to say tacit understanding.
If such a performance is placed in the World Series, I am afraid it will be a disaster. In the next Olympic preparations, whether to stick to the new combination or change the lineup will be a matter of considerable consideration.

The main opponent of the Chinese team in this project is undoubtedly North Korea. At the Gwangju World Championships, due to political reasons, the North Korean team collectively abstained and failed to get the ticket to the Tokyo Olympic Games in the first place. However, with their strength, competing for the remaining four Olympic seats in April next year is a matter of hand.
The double of the Women's Stage of the Dprk in the Tokyo Olympic Games will surely have a very suspenseful contest, and no matter how the Chinese team changes sides, it will appear as a young face who has just tried for the Olympic Games. The North Korean team will create a pair of pairs with Rio's main player Kim Mi-lai as the core. Hopefully, North Koreans, who have never won the world doubles event, will not become our "bitter lords" in Tokyo.
