The Paper's reporter Pu Yaolei and Ma Zuoyu were sent from Tokyo
Quan Hong Chan herself put on the gold medal.
China dived, and ushered in a new star turned out to be, she is quanhong chan.
With a perfect score of 466.20 points in the five jumps, she locked in the gold medal for the women's single 10-meter platform in the most indisputable way.
Quan Hongchan, who was only 14 years old and 130 days old, became the second youngest diving Olympic champion after Fu Mingxia. Facing a large number of reporters after the game, the little girl was a little overwhelmed: "[Being interviewed] is more nervous than the game." ”
But at a young age, she has already taken on more.
Turned out
If it were not for the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics, Quan Hongchan would not have stood on the podium of the Olympic Games.
At the three-stop Chinese Diving Team Olympic Trials held after the postponement of the Olympic Games, Quan Hongchan jumped on the platform and won two single ten-meter platform championships, thus obtaining a valuable Olympic ticket.
For Quan Hongchan, this is definitely called "Fish Leaping Dragon Gate" - you know, before that, she not only had no experience in international competitions, but also never even competed abroad. Even in national competitions, she had not participated before the Olympic trials.
Zhou Jihong, the leader of the Chinese diving team, said: "Quan Hongchan is a new team member who emerged after the postponement of the Olympic Games. "Whether such a pure newcomer can play a role in the top stage of the Olympic Games, no one has a bottom in mind."
But Quan Hong Chan not only did it, but also in the most perfect way.
Guo Jingjing (left) and Chen Ruolin at the scene witnessed the perfect performance of the little master sister.
When she performed perfectly with a perfect score of three jumps in the Olympic final, not only Chinese, but also the teams of all other countries could not help but cheer and applaud, and many foreign players and coaches came forward to congratulate her.
"I was a little nervous, but thankfully only a little." The little girl said after the game: "I wasn't particularly used to it when I first arrived here, but after a few days I got used to it. ”
According to statistics, Quan Hongchan, who was only 14 years old and 130 days on the day of winning the championship, became the second youngest Olympic champion of the Chinese diving team after Fu Mingxia (13 years old and 346 days) of the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games.
For Quan Hongchan's career, there will be no more perfect start than this.
All Red Chan is a blockbuster!
Natural diving good material
Quan Hongchan's diving path seems to have begun entirely by chance of fate.
When Quan Hongchan was 7 years old, the coach of Zhanjiang Sports School went to the grassroots primary school to select Miaozi, and thus selected her, and the family also had no opinion on such a choice, and Quan Hongchan's life was thus related to diving.
Like sports, the courage is also bigger than the average girl's full red Chan, it seems that it is really a piece of natural diving material. "It's a cool feeling to jump on." She once described the feeling of diving like this.
"Mainly because I don't like to go to school myself, my reading performance is also relatively poor." In the face of schoolwork, Quan Hongchan often feels headaches, and diving is a world that makes her feel more motivated and interested.
"Big momentum, strong explosiveness", this is the evaluation of her by the Guangdong Provincial Coach who guided Quan Hongchan in the early days. To the national team, quan hongchan's advantages have also been further strengthened - excellent movement technology and control ability, coupled with the original excellent body conditions, creating a perfect performance on the stage.
But at the same time, Quan Hongchan's own strong fighting spirit and concentration on training are also indispensable, just like she said to the surging news reporter before: "I will feel afraid in the middle, if I don't jump for a day or two, I will be afraid to stand on the 10-meter platform again, and I feel afraid of falling, so I need to practice jumping every day." ”
For Quan Hongchan, who is still just a young girl, diving is just a daily routine that she is accustomed to day after day, and she is a little ignorant of the titles of "genius" and "prodigy" sent by the outside world.
"I don't think I'm a genius, and I'm not very good. My academic performance is not very good, you ask me questions, my mind is only blank. ”
In the eyes of the little girl, diving to get a full score is much simpler than the exam.

Carry the family on your shoulders
Indeed, for Quan Hongchan, who is still very young, she is still very unaccustomed to facing the "encirclement" of reporters.
After the game, in the face of the questions thrown by the on-site reporters one by one, she often did not know where to answer. She said it was the first time she had faced so many reporters: "It was more intense than the game. ”
As for how to jump out of such a good play in the game, pressing out such a small splash, she could only hold out a sentence when she thought about it: "No feeling, just jump down, no..."
When asked what it would be like to have the photo hanging on the Diving Team Honor Wall, she somehow replied, "Just hang it..."
However, teammate Chen Yaoxi was "exposed" - although he was very nervous in front of the media and was not good at talking, in his daily life, Quan Hongchan was a very lively and cheerful child: "I like to chase after me." ”
This sentence caused Quan Hongchan to hastily defend: "No! deceitful! How so. ”
For Quan Hongchan, in the future, she still has a lot of time and opportunities to get used to accepting outside attention and media interviews, and such a life may not even be her own thoughts.
Quan Hong chan comes from an ordinary rural family and has a very simple personality. When Zhanjiang Sports School went to the countryside to choose sports seedlings, it was precisely because the children in the countryside had a simple personality and could bear hardships.
Her family conditions are not good, her mother also suffered a traffic accident a few years ago, and her body has been affected since the treatment, which has increased the burden on the family.
During the selection match before the Olympic Games, Quan Hongchan once told the surging news reporter: "My mother has been hospitalized two or three times, but sometimes the family does not tell me. I called my dad to tell me this, and he told me not to worry about too many things, but my mother had to spend a lot of money to treat her, and I felt that I had to earn money so that I could send it home to my mother for treatment. ”
After winning the gold medal at the Olympics, Quan Hongchan once again said: "When my mother got sick, she wanted to make a lot of money to treat her and cure her." ”
After today, she has enough ability to help her family.
The coach picked up Quan Hong chan.
"I especially want to eat spicy strips"
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, which is the impression that Quan Hong Chan left on all audiences. But behind this, she is also by no means really insulated from pressure.
In fact, after the three Olympic trials were a hit and qualified for the Olympic Games, Quan Hongchan also fell into a low point before the Olympic Games, and could not perform well in the team test. During that time, Quan Hongchan suddenly felt tremendous pressure.
"It's a lot more tense than the previous three stops (the Olympic Trials), I don't know what the tension is." I feel so bored now, I'm not in the mood at all. In a previous interview with CCTV, Quan Hongchan's childish face covered with clouds made people can't help but feel sad when they saw it.
Full red chan.
"The coach told me not to be nervous, to let go of the jump, not to think about other people, just jump well. Don't ask for anything else, just be yourself. "This is the goal and expectation she gave herself before stepping onto the stage of the Tokyo Olympics.
That's what her parents told her — "They told me to relax and just jump easily, it didn't matter if I didn't get a medal or not." ”
Today, although you are an Olympic champion, you can still see the childishness of Quan Hongchan. When it came to what she was going to do after winning the championship, she immediately came to the spirit. "I'm going to eat a lot of good food tonight, and now I especially want spicy sticks" – this is her favorite snack.
And for the Paris Olympics three years later, she didn't think too much: "You have to train well before you think about that." ”
After a perfect opening appearance, the future of Quan Hong Chan still has a long way to go.
