Introduction:
The year 2024, as an Olympic year, is undoubtedly a moment of glory in the field of sports. In this year filled with honor and competition, the Chinese diving team once again brings exciting news: Fina officially announces that Quan Hongchan has won the title of the best diver of the year and created a new historical record. This is not only the highest honor for Quan Hongchan herself but also the best witness to the long-term dominance of the Chinese diving team on the world stage.
From the "one-shot fame" at the Tokyo Olympics to the "phoenix rebirth" at the Paris Olympics, and finally winning international honors at the end of the year with excellent achievements. Through Quan Hongchan's wonderful performance, one can't help but marvel: from a young champion to a world-class superstar, Quan Hongchan has walked a path that is both arduous and glorious.
Main Body:
I. The Unwavering Peak of Honor: The Continuation of China's Diving Dream
This time, Quan Hongchan won the annual best diver award from Fina, which is of extraordinary significance. Since the establishment of the award in 2010, Chinese athletes have won the annual best for 15 consecutive times, which can be called a "hegemonic myth" in the history of diving. Quan Hongchan has become the seventh Chinese athlete to win this honor after Chen Ruolin, Wu Minxia, He Zi, Liu Huixia, Shi Tingmao, and Chen Yiwen.
It is worth noting that her winning further deepens the historical significance of this award: in the just-passed Paris Olympic cycle, the Chinese diving team not only firmly grasped the advantage of women's 10-meter platform but also wrote another golden age of Chinese diving in the Paris Olympic cycle with the absolute dominance of "twins" Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi. And Quan Hongchan, at the age of only 17, became the youngest "triple gold king" and set multiple records in diving events.
Quan Hongchan became famous at the age of 14, and a high-difficulty action close to a perfect score made her a shining star at the Tokyo Olympics. However, the subsequent professional road was not smooth. The physical changes brought by the developmental period forced her to readjust her technical actions and find her state. In this process, she repeatedly faced fierce competition from strong domestic opponents, such as the rise of Chen Yuxi and other powerful players, which put double pressure on her.
But Quan Hongchan not only survived but also ushered in her "phoenix nirvana." At the 2024 Paris Olympics, she defeated her teammate Chen Yuxi with perfect performance and won the women's 10-meter platform championship again, becoming an Olympic triple gold medalist. This is an achievement that many veteran players cannot reach, which once again verifies her tough psychological quality and dedication to her career.
II. More Than Just Olympic Gold Medals: Full Blossom in the 2024 Season
In addition to the breakthrough at the Paris Olympics, Quan Hongchan remained in a state of glory throughout the 2024 season:
World Championship Glory: At the beginning of the year, she won the championship in the women's individual 10-meter platform final at the World Championships with a stunning performance, ensuring China's continued lead in this event.
World Cup Six Consecutive Titles: In June's World Cup Finals, Quan Hongchan and her partner Chen Yuxi won the women's doubles 10-meter platform championship together, also achieving China's six consecutive titles in this event.
These excellent performances on the field eventually earned her the title of one of the top ten athletes of the year by Xinhua News Agency, standing shoulder to shoulder with tennis newcomer Zheng Qinwen, while many popular table tennis players like Sun Yingsha were unfortunately left out. It can be seen that her performance is well-deserved and widely recognized by both officials and audiences.
Year after year, Quan Hongchan not only proves her ability with results but also interprets the definition of "genius" with stable performance - it is not just about talent but more importantly, persistent effort and love for the career.
III. Fina Honors Crowned: Belonging Not Only to Individuals but Also a Milestone for Chinese Diving
For Quan Hongchan, the "Annual Best" award from Fina is not only a testament to new achievements but also a driving force for the continuous advancement of Chinese diving. Since the establishment of the award, Chinese athletes have never been left behind, which is the selfless dedication of generations of divers behind it.
