Chen Yuxi shined, and the Chinese delegation won the first gold medal! The reason why Quan Hongchan was "abandoned" has finally surfaced, let's work together!On the opening day of the World Cup in Montreal, the Chinese diving team took the lead in emerging from the ground, and the Chinese team composed of Wang Zongyuan, Yang Hao, Chen Yuxi and Chen Yiwen won 506With an excellent performance of 35 points, he beat many opponents and easily won the championship. In this competition, the most eye-catching focus is undoubtedly why Quan Hongchan and Zhang Jiaqi did not participate in the team competition, but chose Chen Yuxi and Chen Yiwen? Especially after the game, many fans who are keen on Quan Hongchan think that this arrangement is open to discussion.
In the past mixed team diving events, Zhang Jiaqi and Chen Yiwen have both had the opportunity to show their faces. However, in this Montreal station, the Chinese team chose to abandon Zhang Jiaqi and replace her with Chen Yuxi. In view of the excellent cooperation and tacit understanding between Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi in the women's double 10-meter platform, they have almost become the strongest partners in the diving field and dominate all the way in the women's double 10-meter platform event.
Some fans also said that since Chen Yuxi has been replaced, at least Quan Hongchan should be involved, after all, their tacit cooperation and rich experience in the World Series cannot be ignored.
However, the Chinese diving team did not leave Quan Hongchan with any chance in the end. Quan Hongchan and Zhang Jiaqi lost a chance to win a gold medal. Chen Yuxi has secured at least two gold medals so far, one in the mixed team diving event and the other in the women's double 10m platform. If Chen Yuxi can beat Quan Hongchan in the women's single 10m platform competition, then she is expected to win three gold medals in Montreal. The worst outcome for Quan Hongchan will be nothing.
After the game, many netizens asked why Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi were not arranged to participate in the team mixed competition together?
To this question, the Chinese diving team did not respond! Some netizens speculated that it may be because of Quan Hongchan's weight and height problems, so she was not arranged to participate. But this explanation is clearly untenable. Personal analysis believes that the main reasons for Quan Hongchan's "abandonment" may be the following three points.
First of all, Chen Yiwen's performance is stable, and she is an irreplaceable character. In the past year, Chen Yiwen has won almost all the major competitions in the women's 3m platform, so she was voted the best diver of 2023 by FINA! This is one of the reasons why she is irreplaceable. At the World Championships in Doha, although Chen Yiwen only won the second place in the individual event, the championship was taken away by her partner Chang Yani! In order to encourage Chen Yiwen and boost her self-confidence, it was decided to let her participate in the mixed team competition.
Clause. Second, the reason why Chen Yuxi was selected is somewhat similar to Chen Yiwen. At the World Championships in Doha, Chen Yuxi also only won the second place in the women's individual 10-meter event, while the championship was won by Quan Hongchan. Therefore, in order to enhance Chen Yuxi's confidence, the Chinese team finally chose to arrange her to participate. The two runners-up can easily win the championship in the team mixed competition, which shows the strong strength of the Chinese diving team.
Clause. 3. Quan Hongchan performed well at the World Championships in Doha, winning 2 gold medals and winning a personal Grand Slam. As a winner, she gave her teammates a chance to boost their confidence, which is actually very commendable as well. Since Quan Hongchan became famous, she has always shown a more sensible and humble quality. If she can make her teammates happy and confident, she will definitely not hesitate to give this opportunity to her teammates.
For netizens, in international competitions, no matter which athlete appears, they are actually assisting the Chinese team to compete for honor. All we can do is support them and be proud of their victory. I also wish Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi to continue to compete for the championship in the next women's 10-meter platform competition.
