Two 16-year-old little girls stood on the platform, with clear water and crowded crowds at their feet.

Stretching your arms, taking a deep breath, and jumping down, two young and beautiful figures entered the water perfectly.

The whole venue was boiling! Two little girls from the south finally made up for the regrets of the Chinese diving team for many years.

Preparing for war

In order to make a perfect jump, the two little masters respectively overcame the troubles of adolescence.

Xin Wei has not seen her parents for two years at the Olympics

Although in the past two years, these two little girls have almost won the gold medals in single and double events at the World Championships and all subsequent international grand prix events. , but the biggest weakness of women's platform diving is the poor psychological quality of young athletes.

Wang Xin once said that in order to concentrate on training, he has not seen his parents for two years and mostly communicates with them by phone. "Even if it's the Olympics, I don't want them to come, because I'm afraid I won't be able to dance well if they come," the little girl said.

Coach Zhao Wenjin once said frankly that Wang Xin's skills are not very perfect at present. If he wants to win the Beijing Olympics, he needs to be "very lucky." "Luck requires one's own efforts and hard work, not something one can just think of." Fortunately, luck and strength eventually came together with Wang Xin.

Lin gave up ice cream cakes for the Olympics

For Chen Ruolin, the biggest worry this year has been the worries during the development period. "Only I know what it feels like to have these extra kilograms of weight during jumps. I obviously feel that my movements are not as light as two days ago: I can't turn over somersaults, and my body is a lot heavier."

Control Weight has become a major task in her life. In order to curb "putting on weight" as much as possible, Chen Ruolin adopted a diet. Not only did she give up her favorite snacks such as ice cream and cakes, but she almost even stopped eating dinner. dropped.

On hungry nights one after another, Chen Ruolin relaxes her mind by reading a book or watching TV. “If I can’t do it anymore, I just go to bed.”

The two world champions are still a pair of little girls who love to watch "Story Club".

================================

Wang Xin, Chen Ruolin: Both of them were actually afraid of water before

Two "post-90s" Xiaoya realize their dream of Olympic championship

On the 12th, the "Water Cube", the final of the women's synchronized 10-meter platform.

Chen Ruolin/Wang Xin of the Chinese team, a pair of "post-90s" girls, beat the competition with 363.54 points, winning the 11th gold medal for the Chinese delegation in this Olympic Games.

When the two "post-90s" Olympic champions with petite bodies and sweet smiles stand in front of you, don't be fooled by their appearance, let alone think that their victory seems to be something in the bag. Behind the gold medals are the sacrifices. Only they know the hardship and effort best.

Chen Ruolin

Has been thrown directly into the water by the coach

At the age of 4, when Chen Ruolin was thrown into the water by the enlightenment coach Gao Feng, within a few minutes, she was identified It's a "genius".

Since Chen Ruolin has been sick since she was a child and has to go to the hospital several times a week, her father, Tang Hua, took her to the swimming pool in order to help her daughter strengthen her physical condition. Because Chen Ruolin didn't dare to go into the water, she tied a rope around her waist and was thrown into the middle of the water by the coach. When the adult lit his cigarette and started talking, he suddenly realized that the little guy had quietly climbed onto the shore and was standing quietly aside.

“What a genius!” Gao Feng picked up the wet Chen Ruolin and kissed her, “This kid is so good at water! I’m going to make a decision! I’ve never been able to do anything like this since I started practicing diving myself and have been a coach for so many years now. I’ve never seen a child with such a good sense of water!”

After learning about diving, Chen Ruolin no longer got sick, but became “obsessed” with diving. Even talking in her sleep at night, she was talking about the results of the team. The best name for that child. In order to participate in the children's competition, Chen Ruolin suffered a broken arm two months before the competition. Less than a month before the competition, Chen Ruolin still couldn't straighten her arm. Chen Ruolin, who was determined to participate in the competition, resolutely accepted the coach's "bone correction".

"Please be gentler," this is what Xiao Linlin, who is nearly 6 years old, said to the coach. She knew there would be pain waiting for her: the coach asked her to put her arms on the balance beam, then took a bench and pressed it on her arms. The father who was present at the time burst into tears when he heard Xiao Linlin's screams. "The child was screaming like a mess, and I was crying like a mess next to him."

So, the whole family held a meeting and unanimously asked the little guy to give up diving. But she must continue to practice and participate in competitions, no matter how hard her family tries to persuade her. When she was injured that time, Chen Ruolin only rested for three or four days before training. With this persistence in diving and a spirit of hard work, Chen Ruolin jumped from the Nantong City Sports School to the Provincial Amateur Sports School in Nanjing, then to the Jiangsu team, and then to the national team.

Wang Xin

Learned to swim after struggling in the water for five days

August 11th was Wang Xin’s birthday, and her mother personally sewed blue floral flowers for her A big pillow, this is Wang Xin's "good luck pillow".

Wang Xin came from a poor family in Wuhan, Hubei. At that time, she was still called Wang Ruoxue. She later joined the Tsinghua University diving team. Yu Fen, the coach of "Diving Queen" Fu Mingxia, believes that "ruo" and "weak" have the same pronunciation. , so she became the current Wang Xin.

Wang Xin practiced gymnastics when he was 10 years old and switched to diving two years later. She still remembered that she used to be afraid of water. When she was a child, she went to the swimming pool with her parents and did not dare to go in. She would only guard the steps and play by the pool. "I just practiced diving, and I was still afraid of water. The coach tied a rope around my waist. Seeing that I didn't dare to go down, she pushed me down, and then I rowed hard towards the shore. I struggled like this. I learned to swim in 5 days.”

The 2006 Doha Asian Games was Wang Xin’s first international competition after joining the national team. She won the 10-meter platform singles and synchronized doubles in one fell swoop. Gold medal. In 2007, she won double gold at the World Championships in Melbourne, sending the message "I'm here" to the world. In the 2008 World Cup, Wang Xin did not win a gold medal in the singles competition. She lost to her double partner Chen Ruolin, who was 4 months younger than her.

August 11th is Wang Xin’s 16th birthday. She said: “Olympic gold medal is the best gift I can get!” Wang Xin’s birthday gift, of course, also came from her “little sister” Chen Ruolin friendship. "I hope we will always be partners."
