Men's synchronized 10-meter platform diving final (June 29, 1:00-2:15, Beijing time) Lian Junjie/Yang Hao
Compared with the strength of the women's event, the challenges encountered by the men's event are unprecedented. At last year's Tokyo Olympics, the men's synchronized 10-meter platform was the only event in which the Chinese team lost gold. Therefore, in this event, the Chinese team also changed a new combination, with the purpose of regaining the lost gold medal.
Highlight 1: Newcomers and new looks, Lian Junjie/Yang Hao go all out to fight for the gold medal.
Lian Junjie and Yang Hao are not newbies in the Chinese diving community. As early as 2019, they paired up to participate in the World Series and won the championship. They are very competitive in the men's synchronized 10-meter platform. In fact, when the men's 10-meter platform event reaches the World Series, it is not only the athletes' ability and technical characteristics that are compared, but more importantly, the on-the-spot mentality. In the men's event, the advantages of our athletes are comprehensive skills and high degree of difficulty. The disadvantages are lack of strength and poor psychological quality. Strength is likely to be an innate factor, and how to overcome the psychological barrier is very important. As long as you maintain a good attitude, in my opinion, any foreign player is a paper tiger.
Point 2: Can Daley , a veteran of 3 dynasties, compete with the Chinese team again?
Tom Daley started to stand out at the 2009 World Championships in Rome. At the age of only 15, he won the men's 110-meter platform championship. In fact, from that moment on he became the real opponent of the Chinese diving team . At last year's Tokyo Olympics, Daley and teammate Marty Lee teamed up to defeat the Chinese combination Cao Yuan / Chen Aisen , shattering the Chinese delegation's dream of winning eight gold medals. Now the 27-year-old Daley is playing again. This veteran athlete who has competed with the Chinese team for three dynasties should be respected regardless of success or failure. What do you think?
women's 1-meter springboard diving preliminaries (June 29, 15:00-16:35, Beijing time) Lin Shan, Li Yajie
women's 1-meter springboard diving finals (June 29, 23:00-24:00, Beijing time) Lin Shan , Li Yajie
has to compete in the preliminaries and finals continuously throughout the day, which is also a test for the players' physical fitness. In fact, in the women's event, the Chinese diving corps has always been like a bug. Winning the gold medal is basically a sure thing, and losing the silver medal will cause an uproar. The 1-meter springboard is still a great test for athletes. It requires a high jump height and consistent movements in the air. Let's take a look at the highlights of this game.
Highlights: Lin Shan or Li Yajie, who can win the championship?
In this event, foreign players can hardly threaten us. The biggest highlight is which of the two domestic golden flowers can bloom. Lin Shan is 21 years old. She may seem young at this age, but she is already considered a veteran among the Chinese women's diving team. Since the injury on her arm has not healed, she was not able to fully exert her strength in the game, which may also affect her performance. But the individual all-around championship in of the National Games last year showed her ability. She is the kind of player who can still maintain her form when falling behind. Her mentality is her biggest advantage.
Li Yajie, who is one year younger than Lin Shan, became famous in last year's National Games and won the championship, which also gave her the opportunity to participate in the World Championships. Li Yajie's selection on the 1-meter board was extremely difficult, which has not been seen in recent years, but her performance was perfect. Judging from her confident expression on the platform, she had already won.
Tomorrow's game will be extremely exciting. The peak showdown between Lin Shan and Li Yajie will also raise the audience's emotions to the highest point. Will Lin Shan or Li Yajie win the championship? Everyone is welcome to discuss it together.
Mixed all-around diving final (20:30-21:45, June 29, Beijing time) Zhang Jiaqi/Bai Yuming
Since it is not an Olympic event, everyone may be a little unfamiliar with the mixed all-around diving event. Let me briefly introduce the rules to you first:
① Each association can only send one pair of players to participate, and a male and female team must compete.
②The competition is divided into two categories: 10-meter platform and
③One of the three actions is a prescribed action, and the other two can be freely selected.
China's Qiu Bo / Chen Yiwen combination won the gold medal in the mixed all-around diving event at the 2018 World Championships. With Qiu Bo's retirement, the pair also disbanded. The Chinese team sent the younger Zhang Jiaqi/Bai Yuming to this World Championships, with the aim of winning gold in this relatively unpopular event. According to the strength of the Chinese diving team, this gold medal is likely to be the 100th gold medal in the history of the Chinese diving team. It has extraordinary commemorative significance. Let us wish them well.
