On August 6th, Beijing time, this day is really meaningful for our Chinese sports fans! In the women's single 10-meter platform final of the Paris Olympics, our teenager Quan Hongchan reached the top again and successfully defended her title! And you know what? Her victory made her the fifth athlete in Olympic history to defend her title in this event, which is simply amazing!
Think about it, how old Quan Hongchan is, she is only 17 years old, and she has stood on top of the world twice. I remember the first time was at the Tokyo Olympics, when she was still a childish little girl, and now, she is the pride of our country. But then again, this little girl's growth path is really not easy. I remember an interview, she mentioned how much effort she put in to overcome the troubles caused by the growth period, and she really sweated and cried!
The process of this competition is also full of ups and downs, especially the 207C action, which is the movement of rolling backwards for three and a half weeks and hugging the knees, and I don't need to say more about how high the difficulty coefficient is. When she trained before, Quan Hongchan suffered a lot, and sometimes she couldn't even complete this action, but in the finals, she was stunned to give full play to this action and got a high score of 92.40 points, which is simply a god!
Let's talk about Chen Yuxi again, this little girl is also a ruthless character, she has won silver medals in two consecutive Olympic Games, although she did not win a gold medal, but her perseverance is really admirable. What's even more rare is that the relationship between her and Quan Hongchan, the feeling of being both a competitor and a good friend, is really enviable. You see, when Quan Hongchan won the championship, when she hugged coach Chen Ruolin, Chen Yuxi also ran over and gave a big hug, at that moment, all the hard work and sweat were worth it!
The speed of updating the women's 10-meter platform is really fast, but the two little girls Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi can achieve such brilliant results in such a short period of time, which is really impressive. Their success is not only a personal glory, but also the pride of the Chinese diving team. I remember that Coach Chen Ruolin once said: "Diving is not only a sport, but also an art." "This is really true, look at the posture of Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi in the air, it is simply a beautiful picture!
Having said that, Quan Hongchan's performance this time is called a stable! As the old saying goes, "One minute on stage, ten years off stage", the hard work and sweat behind her are really unimaginable. Look at Chen Yuxi again, although this time it is still a silver medal, her spirit of not admitting defeat is really moving. The friendship and competition between these two little girls are like the kind in martial arts novels, with both tension and sympathy.
Finally, let's not forget the old-timers who have left brilliant footprints on this project, such as Fu Mingxia, Chen Ruolin, etc., they are all role models for Quan Hongchan. Quan Hongchan's achievements today are inseparable from their dedication and inheritance. Of course, we also have to look forward to the Los Angeles Olympics in four years, and I wonder what kind of surprises these two little girls will bring us?
In short, Quan Hongchan's victory today is not just as simple as a gold medal, it represents a spirit, a spirit of constantly surpassing oneself and never giving up. We are proud of her, and we are proud of our country to have such athletes. In the coming days, let's look forward to them continuing to create miracles! This matter, the more I think about it, the more excited I become, the more I chat, the more energetic I become, let's praise the Chinese diving team and cheer for Quan Hongchan!
