Diving World Cup again reached the top Wang Zongyuan close to the “best answer”
Beijing, October 22 (Xinhua) — The World Diving Stadium in 2022 is destined to deeply brand the name of a 20-year-old Chinese general-Wang Zongyuan. On the evening of 21st Beijing time, Wang Zongyuan once again showed his absolute control over the men’s 3-meter board in the World Cup with the Olympic Games and the world championships and called the “three world diving competitions, win the championship with a high score of 562.2 to win the championship in the world competition. As early as before the opening of the World Cup in Berlin, FINA said on its official website that the two “China derby” events in this competition are most worthy of attention, among them, Cao Yuan, the Olympic three-gold winner, fought against the men’s 3-meter board of “The Treble” Wang Zongyuan in the single world championship. At the Budapest World Championships held three months ago, this new generation of Chinese diving force became the final winner in the direct dialogue with its predecessors. And Wang Zongyuan is also regarded as a rising star of men’s diving by virtue of the perfect play in Tokyo Olympic Games and World Championships. Now in the World Cup in Berlin, the trend of the men’s 3 m board final that night is exactly the same as that of the world championship. With its impeccable difficulty and stability, Wang Zongyuan firmly occupied the leading position from the beginning of the competition, and finally won the championship with 48.35 points ahead of Cao Yuan. In fact, since Wang Zongyuan appeared as a newcomer in the list of diving dream team going to Tokyo Olympic Games. This young general, who had already become famous in the domestic arena, when the team can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the traditional strength of the men’s 3-meter board has become the focus of attention from the outside world. Under the heavy attention, Wang Zongyuan seamlessly connected to international events, and there was no fear of newcomers standing in the spotlight. The Tokyo Olympic Games gained one gold and one silver, and the world championships won three championships to achieve “the first person in history”. Wang Zongyuan’s progress is like a springboard with great toughness. The high jump comes from the accumulation and polishing in the past few years. FINA does not hide the expectation of this Chinese new star at all. They think that “although Wang Zongyuan is only 20 years old, he has become one of the best diving athletes, and his career has just begun.” The Olympic champion and world championship champion, and now the World Cup champion title is added. Wang Zongyuan, who has just started his career, has already achieved many diving athletes to devote his entire career, achievements and honors that cannot be touched, but for him, everything has just begun. On the 22nd Beijing time, Wang Zongyuan will join hands with Cao Yuan to play the men’s double 3 m board final. If he can successfully win the championship, he will unlock the grand slam achievements of the Olympic Games, World Championships and World Cup. It only took him one year and two months to achieve all these achievements. Three world competitions were held on the highest podium. In the era when there were many new diving players in the world, Wang Zongyuan took advantage of the trend and set off his own trend. Looking back at the emerging 2021, crossing the legendary 2022, his preparation for the second Olympic cycle has entered the second half. When the Tokyo Olympics was postponed, he once expressed his hope that “no regrets should be left and the best answer should be given to himself”. However, at the Tokyo water sports center, the teenager’s “never forget” could not wait for the echo of his expectation. The Paris Olympic Games two years later will be Wang Zongyuan’s second Olympic champion of the men’s 3 m board. Now there is a tiger in his heart, and the best answer in his heart is “to be continued”. (Finished)
