The women's singles 10m platform competition has become suspenseful due to the participation of Chen and Quan Hongchan, and two days ago, the duo who jointly won the gold medal in the women's double 10m platform are now each other's biggest rivals. At the National Diving Championships held in March this year, Quan Hongchan lost to Chen Yuxi to win silver, which also added a touch of drama to the duo's other moves.
In the preliminary round of the day, Quan Hongchan ranked first and Chen Qianxi ranked second. It is worth mentioning that Quan Hongchan's 207C (three and a half weeks of backward tumbling knees) performed well, scoring 99.00 points. In the final, the situation was reversed, Chen Qianxi finally won the championship with 431.20 points, Quan Hongchan fought hard to catch up but still finished second with 7.70 points, and both Chinese players scored more than 70 points higher than the third place British player.
"I want to do every dive better than the ranking. I made a major mistake in this competition, which was actually that some small details in the usual training were not done well, and it was easy to zoom in in the game. Chen said after the game.

"I am quite satisfied with my performance in this competition, I gave myself a score of 7, and I feel that there are still shortcomings in the two-man event that need to be improved." Yang Hao said after winning the championship.
Talking about the outlook for the Paris Olympics, Yang Hao believes that it is necessary to first prevent injuries, and then adjust their state, and do a good job in systematic training under this premise. (End)
