The woman Quan Hongchan should be most grateful for is actually not her current coach Chen Ruolin, but her direct boss Zhou Jihong. Many people will say that in Quan Hongchan's current situation, I am afraid that Zhou Jihong is a stumbling block on her way to success. While this is true, there are two sides to everything in this world, and sometimes good things can turn into bad things, and sometimes bad things can turn into good things. In Quan Hongchan's body, there is this kind of duality. It was precisely because of Zhou Jihong's strength that Quan Hongchan was able to emerge in the world diving world, and became the Quan Hongchan we know today. Does anyone know her story before the Tokyo Olympics? Until the preliminaries before the Tokyo Olympics, Quan Hongchan's experience was full of ups and downs, and there were many uncertainties. Today we're going to talk about what's going on.
In the 2020 National Diving Competition and the Tokyo Olympic Trials Competition, Quan Hongchan directly won the championship of the two battles in the name of a newcomer, which caused a thousand waves in the Chinese diving world for a while. Although everyone didn't know her when this little girl competed, the Guangdong diving team to which she belonged was well-known in the domestic diving world, and there were countless diving talents for the country over the years. Quan Hongchan was able to stand out from the fiercely competitive Guangdong team and was selected to participate in the Tokyo Olympics selection competition, which shows that her strength should not be underestimated. As a result, she also lived up to expectations, performing well in all three trials she participated in, and successfully entered the Olympic qualification list. But newcomers are newcomers after all, and they are all going to be excluded in **, which is common in all walks of life.
At this time, there are many masters in the national team, National Games champion Zhang Jiaqi, Olympic champion Ren Qian, and World Championships champion Chen Yuxi. Such a little girl who doesn't know the roots has qualified for the world's first important competition, which has to make the relevant leaders of the diving team mutter, has not participated in any international events, does not have the slightest experience in foreign competitions, is still so young, can she carry such a big burden? As a result, many people found the team leader Zhou Jihong, talked about their worries, and suggested that Zhou Jihong replace Quan Hongchan and send Zhang Jiaqi, who played more stable, to the court to ensure that the competition was foolproof. I believe that on the eve of the Olympic Games, this should be the most voice that Zhou Jihong can hear.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with this kind of worry, Quan Hongchan was really immature at that time, and she was not experienced enough, not to mention international competitions, she had never even been to a domestic amusement park, and she had only participated in these few large-scale domestic competitions, and it was indeed an adventure to send her to participate in large-scale international events. What's more, on the eve of the Olympic Games, in order to let the participants feel the atmosphere of the competition in advance, a mock test was held in the team, and all the rules and procedures were the same as those of the Olympic Games. And in these four test competitions, Quan Hongchan performed poorly almost every time, and even made a major mistake once, which also corresponds to the words of some opposition Quan Hongchan contestants, Quan Hongchan is indeed too tender. At this time, more people stood up and strongly recommended that Zhou Jihong replace Quan Hongchan. But the result? Everyone knows that Quan Hongchan still successfully participated in the Olympic Games under Zhou Jihong's lonely battle.
Do you know that Quan Hongchan's psychological pressure at that time was actually greater than anyone else's, and she didn't know what to worry about, she was not in the mood at all, and she was not like Ms. Deng said that the fearless language of the ignorant was still not good in the pre-game practice after arriving in Tokyo. The Olympic rules allow the list of participants to be changed before the competition, and at this time, the group of opponents stood up again and suggested a replacement in front of Zhou Jihong. At this time, I also have to admire Zhou Jihong's determination, worthy of the iron lady of the Chinese diving team, who is decisive and unwavering in her decisions. In the 2021 Tokyo Olympics women's singles 10-meter platform competition, Quan Hongchan made another major mistake, and when everyone was annoyed by Zhou Jihong's wrong choice, Quan Hongchan in the final shocked the world with 5 jumps and 3 perfect scores to create a new historical record.
Let's listen to how the ** after the game evaluates Quan Hongchan's performance? Quan Hongchan was like an activated spring, rising in an instant, and the impact felt by the audience was particularly amazing. Even Guo Jingjing, who was on the scene at the time, was shocked, and bluntly said that Quan Hongchan's performance at that time was simply impeccable, and she didn't expect her to perform so well in the first competition. Quan Hongchan is really impeccable about this performance, that is, every one of them is a full score! Now you can understand why Guo Jingjing took a group photo with Quan Hongchan at a trot after the game. Quan Hongchan's performance on the field not only conquered everyone present, but also conquered the heart of the diving queen. At this time, someone will probably give Zhou Jihong a thumbs up in their hearts, it is really wise! Why do you think her eyes are so poisonous? can be seen at a glance that this little girl has such great potential, is it any wonder that people can become the top leader of the diving team? If it weren't for Zhou Jihong's discernment, what if there was an amazing one of Quan Hongchan? Quan Hongchan and her fans should be grateful to Zhou Jihong.
Indeed, many people at that time expressed their gratitude and affirmation to the diving leader from the bottom of their hearts, and thanked her for selecting such a talented athlete for the country. Until now, Zhou Jihong has already become the target of public criticism because of her various words and deeds against Quan Hongchan, and there are still people defending her, without her, who insisted on going her own way at that time, where did Quan Hongchan who is now so red and purple? I want to interject, Zhou Jihong, as the top leader of the national diving team, isn't her responsibility to select and train talents for the national diving, if she is in a high position but has no vision, will the country still let her sit in her current position? I have already gone home to coax my grandson to go! It is her duty and obligation to select outstanding talents for the country, with the high salary given to her by the country, she has the right to speak in the diving team, and she still wants to ask us to be grateful to her? The benefits are all taken by her! Without Quan Hongchan, who remembers who Zhou Jihong is? Without Quan Hongchan, can she rise again and again in officialdom? See how long she can be proud?
