As national-level athletes, each of them has some talent to a greater or lesser extent. For Quan Hongchan, her talent can almost be said to be overwhelming, shocking. As early as the age of 8, Quan Hongchan began to formally learn the technology-intensive sport of diving Xi. She has well-proportioned bones, a flexible body, and amazing physical strength and agility, which is undoubtedly perfect for Xi diving.
Under the careful guidance, Quan Hongchan quickly understood the doorway and skills of diving. She is always able to do many movements that her peers struggle to do while training, and sometimes even makes exceptions for some difficult ones. "This little girl is really extraordinary!The coach who trained her saw her and admired her talent and potential. Five years later, a national diving trial made Quan Hongchan really stand out. Although she was only 13 years old at the time, she performed no less than an adult master. and even won the third place in the event, and her performance made the judges look at her as a young girl. "What a once-in-a-lifetime good seedling!Chen Ruolin, the leader of the national diving team, immediately came up with the idea of taking her under his command after hearing the news of Quan Hongchan's victory.
However, other coaches were not optimistic about her. They questioned how a 13-year-old girl could survive in the world of adult masterseven persuaded Chen Ruolin not to meddle anymore. But Chen Ruolin is determined to cultivate Quan Hongchan. "She's like that'One in a thousand'The physical energy must not be wasted!She used a variety of means and connections, and finally made Quan Hongchan selected for the national diving team and became the youngest member of the team. 13-year-old Quan Hongchan is facing unprecedented pressure and hard training. But she never flinched, and competing with the masters made her strength improve rapidly. Competitive and tenacious temperament has gradually become her most distinctive label on the training ground. After high-intensity tempering in the early stage, Quan Hongchan finally ushered in the opportunity to make a splash on the international stage - the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games.
It's going to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you've got to do it well!Before the start of the game, Coach Chen Ruolin specially told Quan Hongchan alone. The first to appear was the women's 10-meter platform event. Quan Hongchan made her debut under pressure from masters from all over the world, but she still maintained an amazing calmness. One after another, she performed extremely difficult movements, and all the jumps were almost perfect, and finally won the gold medal by an absolute margin. "Seven 10 points!This chick's strength is really extraordinary!After Quan Hongchan fell into the water, it was difficult to hide her admiration. The 10-meter platform is just the beginning. In many subsequent projects, Quan Hongchan has achieved eye-popping results. Her precise landing, standard movements, and perfect control of difficulty are all extremely high.
In the end, she won a full 7 diving gold medals for the Chinese team, and won the championship and runner-up in many individual events, successfully achieving the "double championship" for the first time in her life. For a while, the name Quan Hongchan was thunderous, and her **and** appeared overwhelmingly in all major **. People praise how a 14-year-old girl can shine on the highest level of sport in Asia. However, behind the success and praise, there is also a dark side of jealousy and doubt. "How can a 14-year-old kid dominate the top tournament in Asia?"She's just lucky!For a time, similar comments spread online. But no matter how difficult the environment was, Quan Hongchan never gave up her persistent pursuit of victory. She reminds herself to stay humble and keep training tirelessly.
After the Asian Games, Quan Hongchan's success sparked heated discussions from all walks of life. One of the most incomprehensible is the belittling and questioning of her achievements by some so-called "authority figures". The first to bear the brunt is former table tennis world champion Deng Yaping. She posted on her personal social account, sharply criticizing Quan Hongchan as "ignorant and fearless". In the article, she describes herself as "a sports person" and thinks that it is impossible for a 14-year-old girl to fully understand the meaning and importance of the Paris Olympics. "I'm curious if she can make her own success at the OlympicsDeng Yaping finally sarcastically said.
What is unbelievable is that Deng Yaping doesn't know anything about diving, but she points fingers at Quan Hongchan. Her inappropriate remarks soon caused an uproar on the Internet, and countless netizens attacked her, denouncing her for being jealous and hot. "Do you know anything about diving?Why denigrate the efforts of athletes?"Have you ever been in the Olympics again?Don't always stand on the moral high ground and preach!Faced with the "slap in the face" of netizens, Deng Yaping was silent.
In addition, Bai Yansong, a host who is keen to get involved in all walks of life, also made puzzling remarks in a certain program hosted by himself. He publicly said that he was not optimistic about Quan Hongchan, but admired her opponent and runner-up Chen Yuxi more. "It's all about standing and talking without a backache!Netizens immediately pointed out that Bai Yansong had never been involved in sports events, and his views were just in his own mind. All kinds of inappropriate remarks are tantamount to "embarrassing" in front of famous athletes, and netizens are heartbroken. They called for respect for the efforts of athletes, rather than denigration and belittling. In addition to facing honor and doubts, Quan Hongchan also shoulders a greater responsibility - that is, to treat her sick mother.
It turned out that Quan Hongchan's mother had been ill for a long time. Due to their family's lack of wealth, they have not been able to afford such expensive medical expenses. This is also the root cause of Quan Hongchan's silent tremendous pressure and pain since she was a child. She constantly reminds herself that she must do well in the field and earn enough prize money to treat her mother. This made Quan Hongchan, who is not yet 20 years old, show a more desperate posture than anyone else in training. She disregarded the limits of her physical fitness, and quietly stayed to practice as soon as she had time. Even though she was exhausted, Quan Hongchan still gritted her teeth and insisted on completing all the movements. Anyone can see that she is physically and mentally exhausted under masochistic training. "If you continue to practice like this, your body can't bear it!Coach Chen Ruolin has criticized her training methods several times for being too extreme. Even more than once forcibly "rescued" her from the water, forcing her to end her training.
Quan Hongchan was also on the verge of collapse for a time. But for the sake of her mother, she still tried her best to move forward. Finally, her outstanding performance in the Asian Games brought her considerable prize money, and she immediately used the bulk of her money for her mother's medical expenses. "Mom, you're going to be fine!Quan Hongchan's eyes were red and she clenched her mother's weak hand. Looking at Quan Hongchan's repeated achievements in the arena, we can't help but reflect - all this is not accidental, but relies on her own unremitting efforts and persistence. Perhaps, some people will mistakenly think that Quan Hongchan's success lies in talent. But in fact, from childhood to adulthood, Quan Hongchan's sweat and efforts far exceed the imagination of normal people.
In order to save her sick mother, she was willing to endure great pain just to earn enough prize money in the competition. So, every success of her was accompanied by blood and tears. We can't let the distance produce beauty and downplay the unimaginable suffering behind the athletes. Instead, their hard work should be appreciated with respect. In the same way, we also need to be understanding, tolerant and empathetic for those who speak out of their mouths. In fact, the reason why they make those despicable actions is probably because of limited vision or wrong judgment. We should not retaliate with a tooth for tat, otherwise it will only cast a shadow over society.
After all, athletes and judges should stand on the same front, that is, to contribute to the development of Chinese sports. As a new journey approaches, let us hold hands, encourage and support each other. Only by uniting as one can Chinese sports go further, more steadily and faster.
