Ren Qian was born in 2001 in Dujiangyan, Sichuan Province, and became an Olympic champion at the age of 15. At the 2017 Swimming World Championships, Ren Qian won the third place in the women's 10-meter platform; at the Tianjin National Games, she lost to Zhang Jiaqi and Zhang Minjie, and won the third place again. This year, Ren Qian lost the Jakarta Asian Games at the last minute because of her weight problems, so she made up her mind and desperately lost weight.

Zhou Jihong, the leader of the Chinese diving team, introduced that as long as Ren Qian spends this period of physical development, her overall sports level can still have a rising period.

Ren Qian said: "No way, no fight, this winter training period is too critical." ”
