At 17:00 on July 31, Beijing time, the highly anticipated Paris Olympic Games women’s synchronized 10-meter platform diving final will be staged. The Chinese team Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi will compete. This pair of "Chan The "Xi" group is very powerful and has always performed the amazing "Water Splash Disappearance Technique" in previous domestic competitions.
Quan Hongchan was born in 2007, and Chen Yuxi was born in 2005. Although the two young players born in 2005 are young, they already have the achievements of Olympic champions. At the Tokyo Olympics, 14-year-old Quan Hongchan broke the world record in the women's 10-meter platform competition with a total score of 466.20 points and won the gold medal. Chen Yuxi partnered with Zhang Jiaqi to participate in the women's synchronized 10-meter platform and won her first Olympic gold medal.
Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi are both top players on the Chinese diving team. They have reached extremely high standards in terms of technical difficulty and completion quality, especially in 207c (backward somersault three and a half times with knees held). In this action, their performance is particularly outstanding. Few players in the world can master this action,but Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi can both complete it perfectly,this has become the Chinese team's "win-win".
The Tokyo Olympics is over and the preparation cycle for the Paris Olympics has entered. At the beginning of 2022, Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi paired up and began to play in doubles competitions. The "golden combination" was officially formed. Together they have become the focus of people's attention. In recent years, they have won the synchronized 10-meter platform championship in all major competitions such as the World Championships, World Cup, and Asian Games, and have never failed. In February this year, the two won the women's doubles 10-meter platform championship at the Doha World Swimming Championships, becoming the first pair of "three consecutive World Championships" hegemons in the history of the event, and also enabled the Chinese team to achieve an unprecedented 13th consecutive championship.
The Paris Olympics is the first time Quan Hongchan has participated in the Olympic double event. Chen Yuxi is striving to defend the Olympic double event championship. The two fought side by side, forming a strong combat effectiveness. I look forward to them breaking through themselves again in the afternoon game, steadily winning the gold medal, and showing a higher level of competition.
