China News Service, July 25. The Chinese delegation won another gold for the Tokyo Olympics!
On the afternoon of the 25th, Beijing time, in the women's doubles 3-meter springboard final, the Chinese diving star Shi Tingmao and Wang Han successfully won the gold with a total score of 326.40, helping the Chinese diving team to make a good start to the Tokyo Olympics and achieving five consecutive championships in the event. !
Since participating in the Los Angeles Olympic Games for the first time in 1984, Zhou Jihong won the women's 10-meter platform championship, the Chinese diving team has been the trump card of Chinese sports.
Today, the team has accumulated 40 Olympic gold medals for the Chinese Army, and the title of "Dream Team" is well-deserved.
After arriving in Tokyo, the Chinese diving team has conducted many pre-match adaptability training. The athletes are actively adjusting themselves to adapt to all aspects of the Tokyo Aquatic Center, from the size of the stadium, to the water temperature, to springboards and diving platforms. Every detail.
The Chinese diving team has never achieved success in a single Olympic Games, which is also the goal of the "dream team" in Tokyo.
Nowadays, veteran Shi Tingmao and Wang Han have teamed up to win gold in the women's double 3-meter board, and they have also sounded the charge of the Chinese diving team.
Rio Olympic double champion Shi Tingmao and Wang Han were both born in 1991, and they have known each other for more than ten years.
The two had cooperated as early as 12 years ago, and they won the women's doubles gold medal in the 3-meter springboard at the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games.
For many years, the fledgling teenagers at the beginning of the year have grown into the pillars of the team.
"Ten years ago, we were young and lacked in all aspects of technical action. We are not too top-tier athletes in the team. Now we are older and have improved standards." Wang Han's words revealed that two close friends were in their respective positions. The tacit understanding of working towards the same goal.
In 2018, Shi Tingmao and Wang Han re-partnered after many years, and seamlessly won the gold medal in the 2019 Gwangju World Championships. Shi Tingmao said that it is very lucky to have such a partner.
The two played tacitly and steadily, which gave the Chinese diving team a reassurance.
Since Guo Jingjing/Wu Minxia won the women's doubles gold medal in the 3-meter springboard at the 2004 Athens Olympics, the Chinese team has never let this gold medal pass.
Five years ago, Shi Tingmao's partner Wu Minxia won the women's doubles 3-meter springboard championship at the Rio Olympics.
Today, it is the first time for Shi Tingmao's "new" partner, Wang Han, to stand on the stage of the Olympics. For this reason, the latter waited for more than 4600 days and missed two Olympics.
When talking about the Chinese diving team, senior Guo Jingjing is especially distressed for some veterans: "Like Wang Han and Shi Tingmao are 30 years old, I have retired at their age, and it is not easy for them to persist until now. I hope everyone can play their best. Good level."
In today’s women’s doubles 3-meter springboard competition, the two of them lived up to their predecessor’s trust. With an undisputed lead, they won the first gold medal in the Tokyo Olympic diving arena to help the Chinese diving team achieve a successful Olympic start.
At the Gwangju World Championships two years ago, the Chinese diving team won all the gold medals in the competition, which also made the performance of the "Dream Team" in Tokyo even more eye-catching.
Zhou Jihong, chairman of the Chinese Diving Association, said frankly that the team will do its utmost to win the eight gold medals in this Olympic diving event.
To get a good start to the Tokyo Olympics, for the Chinese diving team, it is not only an honor but also an inspiration.
To achieve the unprecedented eight gold feat, the dream team's road has just begun!
