Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, March 9 (reporter Zhou Xin, Wang Meng) following the day before last week, the Chinese diving team once again staged “perfect” at the Beijing station of the FINA World Diving Series “. Zhou Jihong, the leader of the Chinese diving team, said “The result is normal” when commenting on the match. For the rare defeat of “ever-victorious general” Shi Tingyi, she revealed that it was because she was unable to jump because of her feet before the match, however, Cao Yuan table has proved its strong strength by taking three gold into consideration.
“Winning all the champions of Japan Station and Beijing station one after another, ‘open the door’ is an encouragement to the team. Everyone always looks at the results, but I focus on the process.” Zhou Jihong said.
As the gold medal Grand Slam of women’s springboard, Shi Tingyi has never missed the women’s 3 m board in the competition at home and abroad since 2013, but she did not perform well in the final on the 8th, lost to teammate Wang Han, and finally won the silver medal.
Zhou Jihong revealed that Shi Tinghao had kicked off before going to the World Series competition Day site. He did not train for a week and began to recover after arriving in Japan. She pointed out: “Her training throughout the winter was very systematic, but the quality of the pressure plate in this competition was affected. Springboard competition is similar to everyone’s difficulty, and there is no absolute strength at the level. It requires athletes to have high quality in every action. In fact, Shi Tingyi didn’t make much mistakes, but he still lacked a little in the angle of take-off, somersault, height and water entry. She still needs some time to recover the ankle injury.”
Cao Yuan’s competition takes table into consideration. It not only picks up the gold medal of double jumping platform and double springboard, but also wins the personal champion of 3-meter board. It changes itself in one race and becomes the king of three gold, it is not easy.
“Cao Yuan’s performance is inseparable from his winter training. For him, training is more challenging than the competition, because every day and every class of training is on the springboard, jumping platform. It is very hard to convert single and double rooms. The result of the competition proved that he had strong strength and hoped that he would continue to work hard and not relax his requirements.” Zhou Jihong said.
Zhou Jihong also praised Wang Han, Yang Jian, Zhang Jiaqi and other players for their ability to withstand the pressure.
In terms of double players, except that Cao Yuan/Xie Siqi is an old partner for three years, the other three pairs of double players are recombined. Zhou Jihong expressed a sense of crisis: “We have had half a year of international competitions since the World Cup in last June. Now everyone will be a little tight at the beginning, and the competition in the next few series will be more intense.”
