On August 7, Beijing time, the much-anticipated Tokyo Olympics entered the 15th competition day, and the diving event officially came to an end. The Chinese Dream Team won 7 golds, 5 silvers and 12 medals. The British team relied on the outstanding performance of the diving prodigy Thomas Daley, ranking second with 1 gold, 2 bronzes, and the United States ranked third with 2 silvers and 1 bronze. . Since Zhou Jihong won the first diving gold in the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984, as of this Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese diving dream team has won 47 gold medals and born 39 Olympic champions. It is the absolute king of Chinese sports. No one can rival in the world.
The Chinese diving team was actually under tremendous pressure during the Tokyo Olympics. On the third match day on July 26, local time, the Chinese team encountered Black Monday, with four major strengths including diving, weightlifting, table tennis, and gymnastics. The unsuccessful rush for gold resulted in the Chinese Legion being without gold all day. In the finals of the men’s double 10-meter platform diving event, Rio Olympic bronze medalist Thomas Daly and his new partner Marty Lee ranked first from the fourth round, winning the championship with a total score of 471.81 points! Chen Aisen/Cao Yuan’s Olympic gold medal combination scored 101.52 points in the final round, and a total score of 470.58 points won the silver medal. The Chinese team missed the event’s five consecutive Olympic championships, and the Russian Olympic team Bondar/Minibaev scored 439.92 points. Ranked third.
You know, the men’s double 10-meter platform is a sport that the Chinese team is better at. Since the 2000 Sydney Olympics was officially set as an Olympic event, the Chinese team won the silver medal in the first competition (Hu Jia/Tian Liang), and then China The team achieved four consecutive games in the 2004 Athens Olympics (Tian Liang/Yang Jinghui), 2008 Beijing Olympics (Lin Yue/Huo Liang), 2012 London Olympics (Cao Yuan/Zhang Yanquan) and 2016 Rio Olympics (Chen Aisen/Lin Yue). crown.
However, this is also the only gold medal lost by the Chinese diving team at the Tokyo Olympics. Since then, the Chinese team has won gold medals in all six events, plus the women’s double triple that they won on July 25, local time. The gold medal in the rice board event tied the best record in the history of the Olympic Games with a score of 7 gold.
On the whole, the Chinese team still has a certain advantage in the traditional advantageous events, especially in the women’s events. Compared with other countries, Chen Yuxi/Zhang Jiaqi leads the way in the women’s double ten-meter platform finals. Won the championship with 363.78 points, helping the Chinese team achieve six consecutive championships in this project. In the women’s singles three-meter springboard, Shi Tingmao jumped out of 383.50 points to win the gold medal. This is also the 23rd gold medal of the Chinese delegation in this Olympics. It also helped the Chinese team achieve nine consecutive Olympic championships in this event. He was 30 years old. Wang Han, a veteran who participated in the Olympics for the first time at his age, won a precious silver medal. In 2008, Wang Han entered the national team, but when Guo Jingjing and Wu Minxia were in service, due to quota restrictions, it was difficult for Wang Han to get the opportunity to participate in world-class competitions. However, this Baoding girl has persisted for 13 years. At the age of 30, she stood on the podium of the Olympics, won the gold medal she dreamed of, and fulfilled her life.
Wang Han’s persistence is moving, and the 14-year-old super rookie Quan Hongchan has become popular all over the world overnight. Before the opening of the Tokyo Olympics, many media paid attention to the 14-year-old born in 2007. She is the youngest in the Chinese corps of the Olympic Games and the most amazing performance in the domestic qualifying series. Coming to Tokyo, Quan Hongchan demonstrated an unstoppable and powerful ability. In the finals, the technical movements of the whole field were exceptionally stable. In the second, fourth, and fifth jumps, they all jumped out of full marks, with a score of 466.20. The total result won the championship, helping the Chinese team achieve four consecutive Olympic championships in this project!
After the game, media and celebrities at home and abroad worshipped the 14-year-old man who was enshrined in the gods, but Quan Hongchan and his family showed extraordinary calmness in the face of the sudden great honor. Their deserted and impoverished family was broken overnight because of the illness of their family members. Many relatives they didn’t know came to set off firecrackers to celebrate. Local leaders came to offer condolences. Even the hospital offered to do their best to help the new Olympic champion. Mother treated the illness… But Quan Hongchan’s father rejected the huge bonus from the company, leaving only a bouquet of flowers, saying that he was unwilling to consume the honor his daughter had obtained, and only the compliments he deserved, and he did not accept any extras. Of charity. When the huge wealth came, the calmness of Quan Hongchan’s parents showed us where he was only 14 years old, and his calm temperament came from in a major stadium like the Olympic Games.
Xie Sizhen cried. Having been an athlete for so many years, Xie Siquan rarely loses control of emotions, but after winning the gold medal in the men’s singles three-meter springboard event, Xie Siquan, who confirmed the championship, shed tears on the field: “All these years of experience flashed before my eyes like a movie. It all feels like dreaming.” For today’s success, Xie Siquan, who entered the national team for 9 years, overcame injuries that almost ruined his sports career. Life and death…Any one of these is enough to destroy the career of a weak-willed person.
“In the past few years, I have tried my best to polish myself and improve my skills, turning these 6 movements in the game into a smooth and natural reaction of my body.” 25-year-old Xie Siquan said, seeing the host star, 41 The year-old Terauchi is still active on the court, and he is full of expectations for his future, “I hope I can continue to persevere like him.”
Cao Yuan, who made his final appearance on the 10-meter platform, has played in the Olympics for the third time. He has won the Olympic champion in both springboard and platform events. He is the most burdened and responsible Chinese men’s diving team in the past ten years. Players. In April, Cao Yuan was injured accidentally during a land training, leading to the absence of the championship and final Olympic trials in early May. The Chinese diving team has not announced his injury, but in Tokyo, we can see Cao Yuan’s shoulders covered with intramuscular effect patches, and he keeps moving his shoulders every time he completes the dive. The injury affected his performance and weakened his ability, but it did not defeat a heart eager for a championship. Opponent Thomas Daly went crazy. Teammate Yang Jian has the highest difficulty set in the world. Cao Yuan has a stable and rich experience in the competition. Facts have proved that Jiang is still hot.
From Zhou Jihong to Fu Mingxia, from Tian Liang to Chen Aisen, from Xiong Ni to Xie Sicheng, from Gao Min to Shi Tingmao… The Chinese diving team has never lacked genius, nor lack of stars, let alone training silently behind the scenes, waiting for the opportunity to catch the spotlight. The “geniuses” who bloom for a moment. Those children from all over the country gather in the training hall of the national team, training day after day, fighting against injuries all over their bodies. Among them, a few lucky ones can be the one who shines in front of the camera, but we can’t. Forget those “adversaries” who are sitting in the audience applauding, because the Chinese diving dream team can dominate for many years, relying on the persistence and inheritance of generations of players. Perhaps in the next Olympics, we will no longer see the 34-year-old Shi Tingmao and Wang Han, Chen Aisen, Cao Yuan, and Lin Yue. Maybe the Chinese diving team will encounter a stronger impact from athletes from other countries, but as long as With light in our hearts and down-to-earth, our dream team will still be the invincible king’s division.
