The Chinese diving team is about to embark on the journey of the Paris Olympics, but this expedition is not a large gathering of all members, but a new trick of "dividing the car". No, there are two big names in our diving troupe, Cao Yuan and Xie Siyi, who did not set off with the big army, but chose to stay in Beijing for the time being to continue to prepare for the war. What's going on? Is it because they are not interested in France cuisine, or do they feel that the Eiffel Tower is not tall enough?
In fact, this is not a willful personal choice, but a well-planned tactical arrangement. On the evening of July 20, most of the members of the Chinese diving team enjoyed a sumptuous "farewell meal" in the athletes' cafeteria of the Training Bureau of the General Administration of Sports of China. This meal is not an ordinary farewell banquet, but a grand feast full of rituals.
Imagine coaches and athletes gathering around and cutting a giant cake together. This cake reads "Let's go to Paris to build a dream arena and cheer for the Chinese diving team", which makes people's blood boil, and they can't wait to jump with it. The atmosphere at the scene was so lively that it was like the Chinese New Year, and I am afraid that even the table tennis team next door could hear their laughter.
However, such a grand ceremony is already familiar to the athletes' restaurant of the Training Bureau. Previously, the Chinese table tennis team, the Chinese women's basketball team, and the Chinese gymnastics team also held similar ceremonies before they set off. It seems that this restaurant can not only make delicious food, but also set off a strong Olympic atmosphere, which is simply a "gas station" for athletes!
Speaking of food, it was just in time for the Hubei Food Week held by the restaurant, which made the Hubei athletes of the diving team very happy. Wang Zongyuan and Chang Yani, the two champions, ate the food of their hometown, and the smiles on their faces were brighter than the sun. It seems that this meal not only filled their stomachs, but also filled them with homesick "emotional tank".
Not long after the meal, the large army rushed to the capital airport to prepare for a direct flight from Beijing to Paris in the early morning of the 21st. This group of water athletes is about to "fly" from the pool to the clouds, which is exciting to think about.
However, our protagonists Cao Yuan and Xie Sicheng did not set off with the team. These two are both "big names" in the diving world! Xie Sicheng is the champion of the men's single 3-meter springboard at the last Olympic Games, and Cao Yuan is a three-time Olympic gold medalist, which is simply an "evergreen" in the diving world.
So, why are they staying in Beijing? Is it a roast duck that is reluctant to Beijing? Or not interested in cheese from France? Actually, it's all a tactical arrangement. The diving competition at the Paris Olympics spans a long time, from July 27 to August 10. Xie Sicheng's men's 3m springboard preliminaries will not start until August 6, while Cao Yuan's men's 10m springboard competition will not start until August 9.
If they set off with the brigade now, wouldn't they have to "hang out" in Paris for more than half a month? This is not in line with the diligent and hard-working style of our Chinese athletes. Therefore, they chose to stay in Beijing to continue training and strive to be in the best condition. Xie Sicheng is expected to leave about a week late, while Cao Yuan will not leave until early August.
Such an arrangement makes people can't help but imagine: while the other players are already enjoying a French dinner in Paris, Cao Yuan and Xie Sicheng may still be sweating in the training hall in Beijing. They may sneak a peek at a photo of their teammates' food in Paris during their breaks, then swallow silently and continue to dive into the intense training. This kind of self-discipline and dedication cannot but be awe-inspiring.
Speaking of which, I have to mention the brilliant achievements of the Chinese diving team. In the past 10 Olympic Games, they have won 47 gold medals, which is simply a glittering "diving pyramid"! On this trip to Paris, their goal was naturally to make persistent efforts to pile this "pyramid" even higher.
Recalling the Tokyo Olympics, although the Chinese diving team performed well, they still missed a gold medal. On this trip to Paris, their goal is to win all eight gold medals. Doesn't that sound a bit scary? But for our "dream team", that's how they do it every day.
Imagine that while competitors from other countries are still fighting for a medal, our divers are already discussing how to win all the gold medals. This self-confidence is not arrogant, but comes from hard training day after day and brilliant results in previous Olympic Games.
However, there is no shortage of surprises and surprises on the Olympic field. Who can guarantee that players from other countries won't burst out at critical moments? Therefore, our divers will never dare to slack off. Every dive, every move, they will give their full attention and strive for perfection.
Speaking of which, I have to admire the tactical arrangement of the Chinese diving team. Not only did they excel in their training, but they also took great pains in their strategy. This method of going out in batches not only ensures that the large team can adapt to the environment in Paris in time, but also allows the key players to compete in the best condition. This kind of refined management, I am afraid that even the shrewd France will have to give a thumbs up.
Of course, the Olympic Games is not only a sports competition, but also a grand event of cultural exchange. I believe that our divers will not only show their skills in Paris, but also become friendly ambassadors of Chinese culture. Imagine the scene when they wore Chinese red uniforms and took a group photo under the Eiffel Tower, the picture must be beautiful!
Finally, let's cheer for the Chinese diving team! Whether it is the large team that has already set off, or Cao Yuan and Xie Sicheng who are about to depart, we look forward to them achieving another glory at the Paris Olympics. I believe that they will use their own strength to show the world the charm of Chinese diving, and let the five-star red flag fly high in the sky of Paris!
Friends, let's look forward to the Paris Olympics together! I believe that our divers will definitely bring us a wonderful visual feast. Whether they're soaring gracefully through the air or silently entering the water, every movement will be a perfect interpretation. Let's cheer for the Chinese diving team and cheer for every jump they make! Come on, Chinese diving team! We are waiting for you in front of the TV!
