At the post-match press conference, 17-year-old Quan Hongchan came to the press conference. After sitting down, she put on her big five-ring glasses and drank half a bottle of water.

Fortunately, the fourth and fifth jumps performed stably, and Quan Hongchan made five jumps. Later, he won the Olympic title again with 425.60 points.

She said that she only wanted to perform the dance well and not think too much. She also revealed that she listens to a lot of music, most of which is the more intense hiphop rock type, which "can make me excited."

As a 17-year-old child who has already won two Olympic Games championships, Quan Hongchan is often asked about how to resolve stress. Quan Hongchan was very calm about this: "I don't feel any pressure. I have Chen Yuxi behind me. I can't dance well. With her behind me, I just do my best and don't think about anything else." There is also Beijing A media asked: Will you change yourself as you age, making yourself more like an adult? Quan Hongchan immediately asked: "Why change? Just be myself. I will not change myself because of my age."
During this time in Paris, Quan Hongchan thought it was happy, "In training, in life , we all have topics to talk about, so we are happy!" As for whether the competition with Chen Yuxi will continue, she denied that such competition is a "competition", "I don't think it is a competition," she scratched her head and said with a smile. Everyone, give full play to your own skills, don’t think too much about the future, just do your best now.”

In the past three years, Quan Hongchan has experienced physical growth and has also lost to Chen Yuxi in competitions for a long time. She does not agree with the title of "genius" given by the outside world. , "Actually, I have practiced over and over again. It was also very hard during this period. There were tears and happy moments. It was not easy to win this gold medal." She said that the most difficult thing in the past three years was to change her movements, "because of the heavy weight During this period, Chen Lian (coach Chen Ruolin) has been helping me, encouraging me, and teaching me how to dance. Sometimes when we cooperate, I don’t pay attention to what she says. As a result, my results got worse and worse, and I felt that I had to take it seriously and cooperate (with the coach) slowly."
Quan Hongchan said that the first text message she sent after winning the championship was to "Sister Xiong"Chen Yiwen," We have a good relationship. My family is also cheering in front of the TV. Thank you to them. They are also working very hard. "

The sound of cheering for Quan Hongchan in the competition field was very loud, especially when Quan Hongchan got a perfect score on the first jump and when she stood on the platform for the second jump, the sound of cheering on the field was still loud. Quan Hongchan revealed that this actually makes her a little nervous, "Actually, every time I compete, I really want the audience and fans not to shout before I jump, and let me think about the move carefully. Once they shout before I jump, they will do it." It disrupted my thoughts and rhythm, but fortunately I adjusted it back later. "
