A genius girl, the most bitter practice

"Good luck, good luck..." When the reporter was interviewing Quan Hongchan's father, Quan Quanmao, his mobile phone rang, and it was this song "Good Luck Coming". Using this song as a mobile phone ringtone may contain two wishes: one is the good luck of Quan Hongchan's competition in Tokyo; the other is that the family can make good luck. Quan Hongchan became an Olympic champion, and there is actually a sad story behind it.

Mom was in a car accident

Dad supported a family of seven

Quan Wenmao has a total of five children, quan hong chan ranks in the middle, she also has an older brother, a sister, a younger brother, a younger sister, the pressure to support five children has been great, but the heavens have sent misfortune. A few years ago, Quan Hongchan's mother was in a car accident, and the family's savings were almost all spent. The whole mother also left a little sequelae, could not work, but also often went to the hospital for examination...

Just a few days ago, Quan Hongchan's mother also went to the hospital due to physical discomfort, but the family did not let Quan Hongchan know, that is, they were afraid of affecting her game. Quan Wenmao said that even when Quan Hongchan was training in Guangzhou and Beijing before, he tried not to tell her and not let her be distracted.

Quanwen Mao lives on farming, the income is not high, even if the eldest son who is not yet 20 years old has gone out to work, the pressure at home still needs to be alleviated, "the pressure has not stopped, I still have three children studying."

However, after Quan Hongchan broke into fame, the situation of the Quanwen Mao family has improved a lot, and the local government and sports system in Zhanjiang have given Quanwen Mao a lot of help, and Quan Wen Mao is also grateful: "I am very grateful to the government, the leaders of Mazhang Town, the Municipal Sports Bureau, the Sports Center, and the sports school often come to visit us, care for us, and take care of us." "Quan Wenmao is also very grateful to Quan Hongchan's coach," Coach Chen (Enlightenment coach Chen Huaming) and Coach He (He Weiyi, Coach of Guangdong Diving Team) are very hard and value her. ”

Talented

Even more than the male players

The family is not well-off, but fate still gives Quan Hongchan a chance, because in this part of diving, she is really talented, a genius among geniuses.

No one in the Quanwen Mao family is engaged in sports, and according to Quan Wenmao, he can't even swim. However, from the husband and wife of Quanwen Mao, Quan Hongchan inherited a good physical fitness.

"We go to the grassroots school every year to select materials, and in 2014, we went to quan hong chan's school, found that her strength and speed were quite good, and felt that she was very suitable for practicing diving, so we recruited her." Recalling Quan Hongchan when she was 7 years old, Chen Huaming still relished it.

After practicing in Zhanjiang Sports School for four years, the Guangdong team conducted a big training, Quan Hongchan was recommended to the Ersha Sports Training Center, He Weiyi fell in love with her at a glance, "Her conditions are very good, and she is the best among the team members in this batch of training." He Weiyi said that Quan Hongchan's toes and knees are more beautiful, slender and coordinated, and even better than boys in terms of athletic talent required for diving, "We generally think that girls' physical fitness is worse than boys' physical fitness, but her jumping movements are easier than boys." ”

Ling Haichan, director of the Guangdong Diving Project Management Center, also said: "Her flip action is very powerful, the explosive force is very strong, and even surpasses many male players. Therefore, Quan Hongchan did not go through the big training and selection again, and directly entered the provincial team. Quan Hongchan's near-perfect body shape and excellent technical movements left a deep impression on Ling Haichan, "I have been a diving coach for 30 years, and Quan Hongchan can be said to be the most outstanding one in the selection of materials. ”

Quan Hongchan came out on top in the first leg of last year's National Diving Championships and Olympic Trials. According to He Weiyi, Quan Hongchan only learned the movements three weeks before the game, and the strength of her talent was evident. "She also learned some boys' movements, such as Yang Jian and Chen Aisen's 407B and 307C, which were useless because they were not as stable as the current one." He Weiyi said.

Cheerful personality

Heaven is not afraid

Extraordinary talent is the foundation, but it is by no means the only reason why Quan Hongchan has equaled the "diving queen" Fu Mingxia and become one of the youngest champions in the history of the Olympic Games.

Behind the rocket-like ramp-up speed is a painstaking training investment. "The attitude towards movement is more focused than that of children of the same age. We said to change the technology, immediately take action, rather than waiting, dragging, not daring, very listen to the coach's words, she is the most bitter one of the training, so we also put the focus on her. He Weiyi said that through more than three years, Quan Hongchan learned all the movements, otherwise it would be impossible to have the opportunity to go to the Olympic Games.

In addition, Quan Hongchan's personality is also very cheerful, and her emotional intelligence is very high. "Interacting with people is very active, not afraid of the stage." He Weiyi told reporters with a smile, "The recent selection competition, there was a difficult action, the previous time she was not better, I asked her if she wanted to practice again, she said no, confident, can control the game process." Her mentality is well controlled, and I think this kid is really amazing! ”

Chen Huaming and He Weiyi also feel the same way, although this Olympic Games is the first time that Quan Hongchan has participated in an international competition, she has not been afraid of the stage, "She is not afraid of heaven, there is no distraction, and the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger." Chen Huaming said, "She (personality) is very impulsive, learning movements is the lead in learning." Usually, I also like to play, but when I train, I am very serious when I ask for it. ”

Of course, Quan Hong Chan can participate in the Olympic Games, and there is indeed an element of luck in it. "Without the pandemic, she wouldn't have been able to compete in the Olympics." He Weiyi told reporters. Because the Olympic Games limit the age to be over 14 years old, and Quan Hong chan just turned 14 years old in March this year, if the Olympic Games are not postponed for one year, Quan Hong Chan will not be eligible for selection at all.

In addition, Quan Hongchan spent less than a year in the national team from October last year to August this year, and was able to be trained to become an Olympic champion in such a short period of time, which is no precedent in the talented Chinese diving team. "Before Fu Mingxia participated in the Olympics for the first time, she also stayed in the national team for a long time." He Weiyi said. In the past few months in Beijing, He Weiyi has been with Quan Hongchan until the eve of the national team's departure, at the end of June, when he returned to Guangzhou.

Control yourself

You can also jump for ten years and eight years

In the view of Chen Huaming and He Weiyi, Quan Hongchan also has a very long sports cycle and will continue to make greater contributions to the Guangdong team and the Chinese team.

"As long as she controls herself during development, she can jump for ten or eight years." At the same time, He Weiyi believes that Quan Hong Chan should control delicious snacks, on the one hand, snacks may contain stimulant ingredients, on the other hand, eating snacks will also affect the stomach and intestines.

Will Quan Hong Chan have a chance to switch from the platform to the springboard in the future? He Weiyi believes that with Quan Hongchan's current height and figure, it is not suitable for practicing springboard, "Later to see the growth and development, if you look like Fu Mingxia's good figure, the springboard also has a play." Springboards need to be stronger to press the plate, too light will not work. ”

After Lau Lishi and He Chong, Quan Hongchan added another crown to Zhanjiang diving, and also continued the fine tradition of diving in Zhanjiang and even Guangdong. Zhanjiang is full of diving talents, and many grassroots coaches like Chen Huaming have dedicated their lives to diving. Chen Huaming had previously retired, but out of his love for the sport of diving, he accepted re-employment and continued to take disciples.

In addition, Quan Hongchan's sister Quan Hongtao and younger brother Quan Jinpeng were also influenced by their sister and practiced diving, although they did not progress as fast as Quan Hongchan, they also had the opportunity to participate in provincial competitions, and most importantly, they all liked diving for fun.

Wang Yuping, director of the Guangdong Provincial Sports Bureau, witnessed Quan Hongchan's victory yesterday, and he said that Quan Hongchan jumped such a good result, which is gratifying and congratulatory, Zhanjiang and Guangdong have this diving tradition inheritance and historical accumulation. Ling Haichan also introduced that after each National Games, the Diving Team of Guangdong Province will select talents through the diving bases in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhanjiang, Huizhou and other places, and the athletes who stand out will participate in the training of the provincial team, of which the outstanding will get the opportunity to enter the provincial team. I hope that more and more xiaoquan hongchan can emerge, so that Guangdong diving can continue to be inherited and the future is better.
