Pay attention to Zhou Jihong, a legendary and mysterious Iron Lady, she is the leader of the Chinese diving team, and she is bent on bringing Chinese diving back to the top of the world. However, her steadfastness and persistence have also made her controversial, some praise her courage, others question her ways, so what should we make of her in this age of diversity?
Born in Wuhan, Hubei Province, Zhou Jihong was originally a gymnast, but by chance, she turned to diving, and since then, her talent has gradually emerged. In the 1983 World Cup diving competition, she wanted to fight hand in hand with us, and won the gold medal for the Chinese team to shine with glory. However, in the hot summer of 1984, she was at the Olympics, and she beat Chen Xiaoxia and others to 435With an astonishing score of 51, she won the gold medal in the women's platform competition, and her strength speaks for itself, leaving all opponents in the dust. At the same time, she also became China's first Olympic diving champion, which makes us full of anticipation and enthusiasm for the future. Zhou Jihong's success lies not only in her skills and experience, but also in her perseverance and determination. She has always believed in her dreams, and she has continued to work hard and strive to achieve her goals. Her fighting spirit is an example for Chinese divers to learn Xi, and it is also the spirit that each of us should learn Xi.
Zhou Jihong was also ordered to be in danger, in 1986, although Zhou Jihong chose to retire, but her love for diving is carved out of her bones, she even gave up the opportunity to study at Peking University, took the initiative to ask for objections, and later served as the coach of the national diving team, she passed on her experience and skills to the young team members, to help them better play their potential. Under her guidance, the Chinese diving team has continuously produced outstanding athletes and has repeatedly achieved excellent results in international competitions. She was also ordered to be in danger, don't look at the current Chinese diving team is a diving boss, but in 1998, they also experienced a low ebb. At that time, many people were cutting and did not dare to take on this task, but Zhou Jihong accepted this challenge without hesitation, and she was appointed to take charge of the Chinese diving team.
However, her coaching ability at that time has not been proven, and some have only a short period of coaching experience. It is conceivable that she was also questioned by many well-known coaches at that time. But she didn't back down and threw herself into the work of team leader. With her unremitting efforts, at the 1999 World Championships, Zhou Jihong led the Chinese diving team to win alcohol in 10 events, and her coaching career was not all smooth sailing. The good times did not last long, and at the Sydney Olympics, with Guo Jingjing, Fu Mingxia, Tian Liang and Hu Jia losing one after another, it also made Zhou Jihong, who lacked surprise and was not prepared for difficulties, feel a lot of pressure. And she was not defeated, but became more and more courageous, and after crying bitterly, she regained her confidence. The hard work paid off, and she continued to learn from her failures and slowly rebuild the glory of the Chinese diving team.
It is worth mentioning that at the 2011 Shanghai World Swimming Championships, Zhou Jihong led the Chinese diving team to win all 10 gold medals, becoming the first team in the history of the World Championships to achieve a Grand Slam. And now Zhou Jihong also serves as the director of the swimming sports management center, which is undoubtedly the national team's recognition of Zhou Jihong's ability, and her vision of selecting people is also very unique, after the Athens Olympics, many veterans chose to retire, when Zhou Jihong did not hesitate to officially select Chen Ruolin into the national team, making up for the vacancy of the veterans' departure. Under the careful guidance of Zhou Jihong, Chen Ruolin has also made great achievements in the field of diving. Not only Chen Ruolin, when the Chinese diving team was bullied in the international arena, she had the courage to question the unfairness of the referee on the spot, so she once recommended Guo Jingjing to the international referee system, and finally let our athletes get fair and just treatment in the international arena.
And now the well-known diving genius Quan Hongchan is also from her handwriting. In 2021, she introduced 14-year-old Quan Hongchan to the Olympic Games. At that time, many people were not optimistic about the fledgling Quan Hongchan, but bet on the world champion Chen Yuxi. In such a grim situation, Zhou Jihong still boldly used newcomers. Of course, Quan Hongchan did not disappoint Zhou Jihong in the end, with her outstanding talent, she won a perfect score in the triple jump event, and won the championship for the Chinese diving team as a dark horse. At that time, many people had to admire Zhou Jihong's vision of selection, and it was her selection vision that enabled the Chinese diving team to continuously emerge outstanding athletes and win glory for the country.
I deeply admire and appreciate Zhou Jihong's achievements and legendary experience, she has made great contributions to China's diving industry and set an example for us. We should learn from her spirit of struggle Xi constantly pursue our dreams. Although some of her actions are controversial, her contribution to China's diving industry is irreplaceable, and we should thank Zhou Jihong for bringing honor and pride to our country.
