won all gold medals, which is the goal of the Chinese Diving Dream Team. Like table tennis, diving is also one of the super events that the Chinese sports delegation has had for many years.
On the afternoon of July 26, Beijing time, in the men's double-team final of the Tokyo Olympic Games, China sent famous players Cao Yuan and Chen Aisen . The two won the double-telephone 10-meter platform championship in the past two Olympics respectively.
It seems that if the Chinese combination performs normally, they can win the gold medal. After the prescribed action, the Chinese combination performed normally, and the problem occurred in the fourth round of . When the body was tilted backward for three and a half weeks, Cao Yuan and Chen Aisen had problems with the angle of entering the water. The splash was too big. In this jump, the referee only gave 73.44 points , and the British combination Daly /Marty-Li completed the overtake.
Before the last jump, the Chinese combination was still more than 1 point behind, and the British combination scored 101.01 points, almost perfect. Cao Yuan and Chen Aisen played perfectly next time, scoring 101.52 points, but still unable to surpass their opponents.
After the Chinese combination entered the water, Daly and Li were quite nervous, the referee scored, and Daly jumped onto Li excitedly.
entered the international arena in 2008. Daley, known as Beckham in the diving world, is the darling of the UK . From the 2012 London Olympics to the current Tokyo Olympics, Daley has persisted for four times, and the Chinese opponents who compete on the same stage with him have been five generations from Hu Jia, Zhou Lu Xin , Lin Yue , to Qiu Bo , and Chen Aisen.
Finally, at the age of 27, Daly realized his dream of Olympic gold medal.
In the European diving world, Daly is a child prodigy, he has outstanding talent and excellent physical conditions. In 2007, 13-year-old Daly participated in the British Championship and won the runner-up directly in the adult group. That year, he was named the Best Young Athlete of the Year by the British media.
For the Olympic Games held in the local area in 2012, the British Swimming Association planned in advance and launched the "Plymouth" plan for Daly. An important part of it was the introduction of Chinese coaches.
In August 2007, a Chinese coach came to Plymouth Club under the introduction of a friend and began to help Daly strive for Olympic medals with all his strength.
At that time, Daly's team had only one Chinese coach, but it played a core role. It is understood that the team serving Daly in the UK had a team leader and a deputy team leader. There were two coaches in each center in Plymouth, Leeds, , Southampton and Sheffield.
2012 London Olympics, Daley successfully entered the finals, but made a mistake in the first jump and only scored 75.60 points. Subsequently, Daly applied for a rejuvenation on the grounds that the flash on the scene affected his performance, and obtained the referee's approval . Daly scored 91.8 points in the rejuvenation. Finally, he was only 18 years old at the time and won the bronze medal on the 10-meter platform.
After the London Olympics, Daly won the European competition many times, but facing the Chinese team, he was unable to reach the highest podium. Until the 2015 Kazan World Championships, Daly won the championship with Garantry in the newly added mixed all-round competition, and China's Chen Ailin and Xie Siyi won the third place.
After the game, Daly met a familiar Chinese reporter in the interview area. He took the initiative to send comfort. Daly said: "Don't be sad. You have won too many championships. This time, let's win once!"
Nowadays, Chinese diving players have changed from generation to generation, but Daly has always persisted. When asked when he would retire, Daly's answer was "As long as my body allows, I will continue!"
