The athletes greeted the CCTV camera one after another, Yang Hao and Chen Yuxi waved enthusiastically, especially Chen Yuxi, and even put his hand close to the camera, leaving a playful scene, the bright smile and smart posture are impressive.
Chen Yiwen held the camera in her hand and took a photo of the camera in an anti-guest manner, and her focused and funny appearance attracted everyone's sideways. At this time, Quan Hongchan approached and said with her usual sense of humor: "My hair is so oily that it can be used to fry eggs."

As the teams arrive in Paris, the training time of the Chinese diving team will be compressed. At present, only two teams, China and Germany, are training in the stadium.
There is still some preparation work going on in the venue, and the cables hanging overhead are particularly conspicuous. Chen Yuxi stood on the edge of the jumping platform, seemed to have a good conversation with someone, laughed a lot, and even sat on the stage for a while. However, she quickly regrouped and returned to serious training.
Quan Hongchan also threw herself into a tense state of preparation. The Olympic diving event will start with a two-person event. Chen Yiwen and Chang Yani, the women's 3-meter springboard pairs, are carrying the heavy responsibility of winning the first gold medal for the Chinese delegation, and the pressure on their shoulders can be imagined.
Chen Yiwen, who embarked on the Olympic journey for the first time, said: "It was actually easier than I expected, I thought it would be very nervous, but now it seems that the mentality is more peaceful, there are not too many ups and downs, since I have come here, I will devote myself to it."

Countless pairs of eyes are looking forward to their wonderful performances, and I believe that they will be able to shine on the field and win honor for the motherland.
