In the Tokyo Olympics, in the women's synchronized 10-meter platform diving final, Beijing athlete Zhang Jiaqi and partner Chen Yuxi performed perfectly throughout the entire process and successfully won the championship!
After Zhang Jiaqi and Chen Yuxi completed the second jump, the commentator said excitedly: "The splash when making dumplings is bigger than this!"
Netizens praised: "It's neat and uniform. It’s so clean and neat. The posture when entering the water is so graceful, just like a mermaid!”
Feel the copy-paste movement.
With this championship, Zhang Jiaqi completed the "Grand Slam" in the women's synchronized 10-meter platform event, combining National Games champions, Asian Games champions, World Cup champions, World Championship champions and Olympic champions in one All in one, her gold medal is also the first gold medal won by a Beijing athlete at the Tokyo Olympics!
Zhang Jiaqi was interviewed by the media after the game. When asked what prize she wanted to ask the coach for, she smiled shyly and replied: "Maybe it's a Barbie doll, because I I like it better. ”
Zhang Jiaqi’s wish is too simple!
The photo of Zhang Jiaqi and Guo Jingjing is so precious!
Today, at Zhang Jiaqi’s home, her parents also witnessed the birth of this gold medal.
In Zhang Jiaqi’s home, there is a wall covered with photos of her from childhood to adulthood.
Among them is a photo of her and Guo Jingjing when she was a child, which is particularly eye-catching.
Zhang Jiaqi’s mother said that this photo was taken when Zhang Jiaqi was 5 years old.
At that time, Zhang Jiaqi met Guo Jingjing at the training hall of the State Sports General Administration, and her mother took this precious photo of her.
Zhang Jiaqi was born on May 28, 2004 in Beijing.
The first impression of Zhang Jiaqi is her cuteness and childishness. She is like the little sister next door, and people can’t help but want to tease her.
But who would have thought that she started diving because she was too naughty.
"I was too naughty at the beginning. When I went to my grandma's house, I jumped on the bed. My mother didn't let me jump. I didn't listen and kept jumping. As a result, the spring of the bed was broken. My mother saw that I was too lively, so she wanted to find a place to vent, and then went to practice diving."
Zhang Jiaqi is still a little shy when talking about the reason why he started learning diving.
In her own words, when she first learned to dive, it was like she had found a paradise. She loved it. Whether it was training on land or in the water, she had a lot of fun practicing. It was just like playing, and there was no pressure. , I feel like I finally found the place.
For her at that time, diving was just a game. She had no goals, let alone winning the world championship. But sometimes, talent just can’t stop you.
Growing pains.
But when almost everyone believed that Zhang Jiaqi would successfully compete in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, she encountered a major challenge - physical development.
For female platform diving athletes, physical development is an unavoidable hurdle. "When I was young, I was light, my movements felt good, I could finish it easily and smoothly, and my entry into the water was good." Zhang Jiaqi said that when you grow up, you must try to maintain your weight, and on the other hand, you must strengthen strength training to keep up with the changes in your body.
Throughout the 2019 season, Zhang Jiaqi was affected by physical development and injuries, and his condition in single events was not ideal. At that time, she seemed far away from qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics. She was unwilling and felt a little bit lost.
The postponement of the Tokyo Olympics for one year gave Zhang Jiaqi time to recover and rekindle hope.
Talking about the impact of the postponement of the epidemic, Zhang Jiaqi said that technology will improve, and one more year will make the technology more proficient.
Zhang Jiaqi failed. In the end, she was not selected to represent the Chinese team in the women's ten-meter platform single event at the Tokyo Olympics; but she succeeded again. She found the right person in the double event, and she Chen Yuxi, a surprise team that only started working together at the 2019 Gwangju World Championships, has become more and more coordinated and is invincible on the court.
On July 27, 2021, Beijing time, in the women's synchronized ten-meter platform diving event at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Zhang Jiaqi and Chen Yuxi scored a total of 363.78, the highest score since their partnership, and became the Chinese team. Successfully won the 8th gold medal.
The surprise attack combination was particularly stable yesterday and showed a stronger version of itself.
A world champion like Barbie.
"I don't." Zhang Jiaqi hugged the baby tightly with both hands, smiled and ran away as fast as possible.
"I love and hate diving. Love, because it gave me a different life, contact with different people, and a different experience."
17-year-old Zhang Jiaqi said, "Hate, it has also brought me a lot of pain, such as injuries, such as watching children of the same age go out to play with their parents, but not being able to go (lonely)."
With a height of 1.5 meters, round eyes and a round face, Zhang Jiaqi said many people think she looks like a doll.
There are some differences from other children. As long as she wins the championship, the only gift she wants is "Barbie", which is her favorite. "My favorite is still Barbie, whichever one you like." No matter which one you buy, most of them are gifts from coaches and parents.”
So in the swimming team, whenever someone mentions “Barbie”, the first thing they think of is Zhang Jiaqi.
Zhang Jiaqi is a girl born and raised in Beijing. She has just turned 17 this year. She is a member of the Beijing diving team and is currently the most shining star of the national team.
Zhang Jiaqi’s family lives in Fengtai, and her parents are ordinary people. When she was 4 years old, because she was naughty and restless, her mother felt that someone needed to take care of little Jiaqi, so she sent her to a sports school in Dongcheng to learn gymnastics. As a result, Zhang Jiaqi was sent back after practicing for a period of time because his arms were short and not suitable for gymnastics. So, Zhang Jiaqi was sent to learn diving and swimming. Unexpectedly, a world champion emerged from this jump.
Since the 2016 National Championship, Zhang Jiaqi has become a "champion harvester" and has never lost a game in domestic and international competitions. The honors he achieved during this period include last year's National Games. She is the champion of the women's 10-meter platform single and double events, multiple gold medals at the World Diving Grand Prix, and several international diving series championships.
In the 2018 Diving World Cup, she became a veritable world champion, and in the Asian Games, she won her first Asian Games gold medal in her life. "I feel very happy, it is my first time to stand in a competition. I can win the championship on the stage, and I will continue to work hard.”
Despite his young age, Zhang Jiaqi’s biggest advantage is that he is more strict with himself than his peers. Off the court, she is a girly little girl who likes Barbie dolls, but during training, she rarely talks and is meticulous. Teammate Zhang Minjie calls her "Lao Zhang."
Through her efforts, in a short period of time, she has received more than a dozen dolls from coaches and parents, which represent her outstanding achievements one after another.
Now Barbie dolls have filled Zhang Jiaqi’s table. Zhang Jiaqi usually likes to dress the dolls, braid their hair, and make each doll as beautiful as herself.
Du Zhao is the coach of Beijing Dongcheng Sports School. The first group of players he led was Cao Yuan, and the second group of players was Zhang Jiaqi.
As a grassroots sports school, the coach's task is to lay a good foundation for the players and transfer talents upwards. Du Zhao said that in grassroots sports schools, it is not only about training their skills, but also about polishing their will and quality. "The children who come under our hands must be trained in all aspects and in every aspect, and must be considered carefully to cultivate the will of the athletes." Quality, so that it will be easier for the next coach to take over. Everything we do is for the children, and we are happy for their achievements."
Zhang Jiaqi has gone through such polishing. , Only then can we stand confidently and calmly on the platform of the competition without fear.
After becoming famous, Zhang Jiaqi, who has a milky voice and a milky voice, was called by netizens: a super cute baby and the nation’s daughter.
