　　On the evening of the 21st, Beijing time, in the women's 10-meter platform final of the FINA Diving World Cup, Chinese athletes Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi teamed up to jump 349.8 points and won the championship with a huge advantage of 88 points ahead of the second-placed American team.

　　This is the first gold medal of the Chinese diving team in this event, and also the first World Cup champion of Quan Hongchan.

Following the Tokyo Olympics and the Budapest Swimming World Championships, Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi continued to defend the glory of the diving dream team in the women's 10m platform!

"Gemini" continues to shine

　　The women's 10-meter platform platform tests the skills, courage and psychology of every athlete, and it is also a field that has frequently been unpopular in previous competitions.

This is especially true for double projects that require tacit understanding and a deep talent level of the team.

　　From the "opponents" who must compete on the field to the teammates who fight side by side, the 17-year-old Chen Yuxi and the 15-year-old Quan Hongchan have become the well-deserved "sharp knives" of the current Chinese diving team. This field is marked with "double insurance".

　　From the Gwangju World Championships, to the Tokyo Olympics, and then to the Budapest World Championships, as long as two people play, the championship will never fall by the wayside.

The two played side by side in the World Series again after three months, and still showed the top level of competition to the outside world.

　　It is worth mentioning that the Berlin World Cup added a "difficulty question" to the double 10-meter platform players.

In previous competitions, two people took off from the same platform, but this time the venue was "divided into two", and the two platforms were separated by about 5 meters.

　　From "fighting side by side" to "seeing each other across the air", physical obstacles failed to add obstacles to the tacit understanding between Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi.

A precious gold medal is also a tribute to the hard training of the past two.

Dream Team Sword Finger 8 Gold

　　The Diving World Cup is the world's top diving event and is held every two years.

This year's upcoming World Cup in Berlin will have a total of 9 events, including 8 Olympic events and 1 mixed men's and women's team events.

　　In this competition, the Chinese team sent a luxurious lineup composed of 9 world champions to play. The team's goal is to win 8 gold medals in the World Cup after winning all 13 gold medals at the Budapest World Championships.

　　In addition to the women's single and double 10-meter platform, Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi competed, Chen Yiwen and Chang Yani competed in the women's single and double 3-meter springboard, and Cao Yuan and Wang Zongyuan participated in the men's single and double 3-meter springboard competition. Yang Jian and Yang Hao participated in the men's single 10-meter platform, and Yang Hao and Lian Junjie joined hands to compete in the men's double 10-meter platform.

The Chinese team gave up participating in the mixed men's and women's team events.

　　The leader of the Chinese diving team, Zhou Jihong, said before the competition that it may be difficult for the athletes to return to their best state by participating in two consecutive world competitions in a short period of time, but this is a good opportunity for training.

　　In addition, the schedule of this competition has also been simplified.

4 single events will directly enter the finals after the preliminaries; 4 doubles and 1 mixed team event only have the finals.

This means that players no longer have to adjust from the preliminaries, semi-finals to finals, and need to quickly enter the state of the game.

　　Although the schedule and arena have changed a lot compared to the past, the stable performances of Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi tonight not only made a good start for the Chinese diving team, but also reassured the audience who are concerned about Chinese diving.

　　Next, Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi will also compete in the women's 10-meter platform competition.

Before the competition, Quan Hongchan once said that his goal in this competition is to jump out of the training level and strive to stand on the highest podium.

Looking forward to another exciting showdown between the Chinese diving twins.
