Quan Hongchan revealed the biggest reason why she lost to Chen Yuxi three times in a row in the World Cup, and looked at the 2025 National Games

Chinese diver Quan Hongchan lost to teammate Chen Yuxi in the Diving World Cup (two sub-competitions and one finals) three times in a row this year.

Quan Hongchan lost to Chen Yuxi in the women's individual 10-meter high platform in the 2025 Diving World Cup Finals to win silver

In the 2025 Diving World Cup Finals held at the Water Cube in Beijing a few days ago, although Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi won gold in the women's double 10-meter platform, she lost to teammate Chen Yuxi in the women's single 10-meter platform and won silver.

Among the 5 jumps in the finals, Chen Yuxi had 4 jumps with higher scores than Quan Hongchan, and the other two jumps had the same score. The difference in the total score between the two is more than 20 points, and Chen Yuxi can be regarded as a "complete victory". This is also the third consecutive defeat to her teammates after the Diving World Cup Mexico and Canada.

Entering the 18-year-old Quan Hongchan is in the development period, but among all the diving events, the women's 10-meter platform has changed the dynasty the fastest, and no athlete who has won gold in this single event at the Olympics for many years has never exceeded the age of 20, because the smaller the body and the lighter the weight, the less strength and physical energy the athlete needs to complete the movement.

Quan Hongchan will lose to teammate Chen Yuxi for the third time in a row in 2025

Since winning the gold medal in the Paris Olympics, Quan Hongchan has returned to her hometown for holidays, and has also participated in many activities, and her body shape has changed significantly. When a CCTV reporter interviewed Quan Hongchan, she pointed out that she was more sturdy, Quan Hongchan smiled shyly at first, and then responded honestly: "Actually, it's fat." It's not any stronger, it's all fat. ”

After that, Quan Hongchan was asked in the mixed interview area that there was a problem with her state after the Olympics, and she should not be a "problem", because everyone can't avoid development, "All aspects have grown, and then there will definitely be changes in movements, so it won't be so quick to recover better." Now that I'm done with today, I think it's okay. ”

She revealed that the biggest difficulty, that is, the reason why she couldn't control her weight, was "no self-discipline", "(Coach Chen Ruolin) has enlightened me a lot before, but on the whole, it's just two words: self-discipline, it's my own problem, and I don't control myself well." ”

Chen Ruolin once revealed that Quan Hongchan once blamed herself for stealing snacks, saying that "not being able to control her mouth" was her biggest enemy, and the internal media also said that Quan Hongchan inherited her mother's fat-prone physique, so it was difficult to control her weight.

Quan Hongchan pointed out that she had gained a lot of weight and thought that she was not self-disciplined enough

In contrast, Chen Yuxi, a teammate who is a year older, faced the development hurdle earlier, but successfully controlled his weight, relying on extreme self-discipline, such as carrying an electronic scale when going out to compete, sometimes weighing himself 10 times a day.

Chen Yuxi once said that the happiness brought by self-discipline for a long time to achieve the goal (winning gold) is higher than the happiness of doing whatever you want and eating whatever you want. Let's look at the future competitions, and even at this year's National Games, whether Quan Hongchan can overcome the difficulties and stand on the highest point of the women's single 10-meter platform podium again.
