On August 5, Beijing time, the moment when 14-year-old Zhanjiang Xiaoya Quan Hongchan won the gold medal in the women's 10-meter platform, the coaches and team members of the Guangdong Diving Team watching live TV at the Guangdong Ersha Sports Training Center cheered and thundered.
Up to now, the Guangdong "Diving Army" has delivered a total of 14 men, 5 women and 19 people to the national diving team in previous Olympic Games, with a total of 13 gold, 10 silver and 1 bronze, which is undoubtedly the core force of the "dream team" of the Chinese diving team.
After the game, all the athletes and coaches of the Guangdong Diving Team and Zheng Guanzhi, a 76-year-old former director of the Guangdong Diving Center, left a precious photo of "multi-generational sharing". Zheng Guanzhi, known as the "godmother of Guangdong diving", talked freely about the code of Guangdong diving's long-term prosperity.
Zheng Guanzhi watched the live Broadcast of the Olympic Games with all the coaches and athletes of the Guangdong Diving Team to cheer for quan Hongchan's game.
The high penetration rate supports the emergence of talents
Guangdong diving can be called China's diving "wilderness cattle" and "pioneers". Since the 1950s and 1960s, the champions of the national diving competition have basically been the world of Guangdong people, and the first national diving training team was also formed with Guangdong players as the main force and team.
Guangdong Diving already had a broad mass base in the early 1950s.
Guangdong diving has also created a number of firsts in Chinese diving: Liang Boxi is the first Asian champion in Chinese diving, Chen Xiaoxia is the first world champion in Chinese diving, Sun Shuwei is the first male Olympic champion in Chinese diving, Chen Guoneng is the first international referee in Chinese diving, and Chen Aisen's first single Olympic Games in the history of two gold medals in men's vaulting... Today, Guangdong diving has produced 11 Olympic champion athletes, ranking first in China.

At the first Emerging Forces Games in 1963, Zheng Guanzhi, Liang Boxi, Li Zhende, etc. became the first batch of Guangdong diving team members to represent the country. In 1972, Zheng Guanzhi became the head coach of the Guangdong diving team, and in the 1974 Zhanjiang National Diving Championships, she led Guangdong athletes to win 11 of the 12 gold medals, which has since shocked the domestic jumping world. Zheng Guanzhi has been in charge of the Guangdong diving team for more than 30 years, and has trained no less than 20 Asian champions, world champions and Olympic champions, including Wu Guocun, Li Songfang, Chen Xiaoxia, Li Hongping, Li Qiaoxian, Tan Liangde, Li Deliang, Lan Wei, Lau Lishi, Yang Jinghui, Hu Jia, Luo Yutong, He Chong and He Zi.
After experiencing the glorious half century of Guangdong diving, this time witnessing the Guangdong diving team create 3 gold and 1 silver for the Chinese Olympic team, Zheng Guanzhi said that he was very excited: "Guangdong diving team members now really inherit the fine tradition of the old Guangdong diving team, whether it is technology or style. Quan Hongchan jumped perfectly in this final, and took 3 full points in 5 moves, which is rare in the history of diving competitions. Today, 7 or 80 athletes from the Guangdong Diving Pair watched the game together, and I believe that there will be talents among them. ”
The 1964 film "Female Diver" is based on Zheng Guanzhi as one of the prototypes, and the shooting location is in Zhanjiang.
Zheng Guanzhi attributed the long-term prosperity of Guangdong diving to a good foundation for popularization. "Our reserve force is very sufficient, and there are more than 10 amateur sports school diving teams in the province, such as Zhanjiang, Shantou, Huizhou, Dongguan, Zhongshan, and Jiangmen, which continuously send talents to the upper levels, which makes us the foundation of the leading position in the country." Zheng Guanzhi said, "Especially Zhanjiang's diving mass base is very strong, I am a Zhanjiang person, and Quan Hongchan is also the third Zhanjiang Olympic champion after Lau Lishi and He Chong." When we practiced diving, there were only simple wooden jumping platforms, and now Zhanjiang's diving training facilities are already very good. Nowadays, there are still many areas in Guangdong that have the conditions for the development of diving sports, and we Guangdong divers cannot meet the current achievements, and still have the potential to continue to expand and explore. ”
It is difficult to pay close attention to the basic skills and guarantee them
Zheng Guanzhi believes that the Guangdong diving team has always adhered to the "three from one big" hard training method, paid close attention to physical fitness and technical basic skills, and dared to tackle tough problems and innovations in technical difficulties, which is the core "secret" of Guangdong diving to achieve brilliant results for a long time.
At that time, Zheng Guanzhi took high-intensity training against the Guangdong diving team in Ershatou.
At the height of the 1970s, the Guangdong Diving Team had only two homemade bullet nets and two springboards on land, and there was no diving indoor pavilion. In order to improve the training movement ability and feeling, Zheng Guanzhi broke through the land training action of diving from 200 per lesson to 1500 per lesson, and the number of training hours increased from 26 hours per week to 42 hours. After the 1990s, the training conditions have improved greatly compared with the past, but the Guangdong diving team's training intensity and high efficiency method have been inherited. Today's Guangdong diving team training reform is more intense, but the three from one big two strict policy and innovative training consciousness is stronger, which allows Guangdong divers to maintain enough advantages in the unprecedented fierce competition at home and abroad.
"I have always insisted that divers should maintain good physical fitness + technical skills, diving is a sport with strong technical requirements, which requires athletes to accumulate feeling and stability from thousands of arduous basic trainings." When I was a coach, I paid great attention to the strength training of the athlete's lower limbs, upper limbs, waist and abdomen, and used the number of times per unit time to control the intensity. Many people diving as long as the difficulty is high, this is not right, there is no basic skill how to ensure the completion of high-difficulty actions? Our generations of Guangdong diving celebrities have created a lot of difficult moves, but because they have deep basic skills, they have basically not been seriously injured. Zheng Guanzhi said. Of course, the training of large amounts of exercise is not arbitrary, and it is necessary to constantly adjust the training method. For example, the "pressurized water" technique, many athletes lead to radius fractures when training. Zheng Guanzhi improved the use of handstand crawling, quick pushing and other training methods to solve, also achieved a good effect.
At that time, Wu Guocun tackled technical difficulties in training.
In terms of technical difficulty, the Guangdong diving team is full of hard work and dares to innovate. At that time, Chen Guanxian and other older generations of divers exerted their collective wisdom, the earliest to imitate groping actions by watching photos and videos, and also made their own bouncer nets, constantly summarizing the experience of their predecessors to tackle the difficulty and technology. It is their enthusiasm, persistence, dedication and unity that have created a high starting point for the technology of Diving in Guangdong. In the 1970s, Guangdong divers led by Wu Guocun tackled the difficulty, and at that time put forward the slogan of "the actions on the world's difficulty table must be there, and the actions that are not on the world's difficulty table must also be there, and be the person who walks in front of the difficulty table", such as 207C, 307C, 407C, 5237C, 5337D, 5138D and so on. Among them, many have become the unique skills of China's diving to surpass the world's jumping hegemons in the United States and the Soviet Union, and some have been more than ten years before foreign athletes dare to try, and some have still become the world's best dancers.
Zheng Guanzhi said: "The Guangdong diving team has always developed with the concept of 'both platforms and boards, based on the board', and on this basis, according to the development of different athletes to suit their individual characteristics, today this direction is still suitable for the development of the Guangdong diving team." Especially in the women's springboard, Guangdong's athletes will continue to strengthen in the future. ”
Champion coaches are passed down from generation to generation
Guangdong is strong in diving, not only because of excellent athletes, but also because of excellent coaches. It is the continuous emergence of gold medal coaches and selfless imparting technical experience, and the talents of Guangdong diving and even Chinese diving are endless and endless.
Guangdong diving famous teachers emerge in an endless stream. In the early days, Liang Boxi and Xu Yiming successively served as the head coach of the Chinese diving team, and the merit of China's diving becoming a "dream team", and trained Chen Xiaoxia, Li Hongping, Li Kongzheng, Zhou Jihong, Gao Min, Xiong Ni, Fu Mingxia and other famous players. In the later period, Wu Guocun also served as the deputy head coach of the Chinese diving team, and naturally he was also full of peach and plum. National team coach Hu Enyong has trained Olympic and world champions such as Sun Shuwei and Yu Zhuocheng, and also brought Olympic champions such as Wang Feng, Qin Kai and He Zi. Tan Liangde has successively brought Hu Jia, Yang Jinghui, Luo Yutong, Wang Xin, Wang Hao 5 Olympic champions, and now, the Guangdong diving team has ling haichan, He Weiyi and other outstanding coaches, and they have trained Chen Aisen, Xie Sibei, Quan Hongchan and other Olympic champions.

Zheng Guanzhi said: "I am the second generation of coaches of Guangdong diving, Hu Enyong, Wu Guocun, He Weiyi, Tan Liang, they are all our students. They continue to win championships, also known as the third generation of Guangdong diving coaches, and their students have now become Olympic champions. Guangdong diving is so strong, which is inseparable from the attention of leadership, grassroots development, the talent and efforts of the team members, and also from the hard work and unremitting efforts of generations of coaches. ”
Zheng Guanzhi believes that Guangdong diving has achieved 3 gold and 1 silver in both the 2004 and 2012 Olympic Games, and this Tokyo Olympic Games has equaled this record, proving that the coaching ability of Guangdong diving coaches has remained strong. "Each generation of coaches in Guangdong Diving is excellent, and on the basis of retaining traditional advantages, they are good at studying and improving the level of coaching, and discovering, cultivating and continuously sending talents to the national team." Zheng Guanzhi said, "We can't rest on our laurels because of the results we have achieved, our Guangdong coaches must strive for excellence and make breakthroughs, especially we hope that athletes of Sun Shuwei, Luo Yutong, Yang Jinghui's generation can appear more in the coaching position." ”
Zheng Guanzhi took a group photo with Guangdong Olympic gold medal coachEshe Weiyi (left) and Ling Haichan (right), two proud disciples.
For a rookie like Quan Hongchan, Zheng Guanzhi hopes that she can continue to forge ahead and keep in shape, "Fu Mingxia was also 14 years old and won the Olympic championship, if Quan Hongchan can maintain well, she should be able to play at least two Olympic Games, I hope he can learn like Fu Mingxia, Guo Jingjing, Wu Minxia, they can maintain the peak of sports for a longer time." ”
Zheng Guanzhi also called for the best to hope that Guangdong divers can not relax in the cultural learning of athletes in addition to maintaining a continuous lead in competitive performance, after all, they are engaged in professional training at a very young age, and they must pay attention to their future personal career development paths, such as the "Tsinghua model" of that year, and also hope to actively explore in the current environment of sports and education integration.
