The World Cup was held from 20th to 23rd, with 60 players from 13 teams participating and 9 competitions. The schedule was streamlined: four single-player projects entered the final without semi-finals after finishing the preliminary match; Four double and one mixed group project only had the final. This means that players no longer have the process of gradual adjustment from the preliminary, semi-final to the final, and need to quickly enter the best state.
All red and Chen Taro are partners on the 10-meter double stage, but they are competitors in the single player competition. At that time, the 14-year-old Quan Hongzhen won gold at one stroke in the Tokyo Olympic Games. He was crazy to win 24 full scores of 10 points, and Chen Taro won the runner-up. And in this year’s world swimming championships in Budapest, Chen Taro won the women’s championship, and all red women won the silver medal. Therefore, the ownership of the women’s 10 m champion in the Berlin World Cup is a major highlight of the event.
