In the early morning of 400 on 0 Beijing time, the second stop of the 0 FINA Diving World Cup sub-station started in Windsor, Canada. In the women's 0-meter platform preliminaries on the first day, China's two Olympic champions Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi continued to compete, and advanced to the final with the top two results of 0.0 and 0.0 points respectively. The order of this preliminaries is exactly the same as the last stop in Guadalajara, the difference is that Quan Hongchan skipped 0 points in the preliminaries this time, and her form has rebounded.
In this preliminaries, Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi's action choices are exactly the same as the previous race, on the whole, Quan Hongchan's performance this time is more stable, and there are no obvious mistakes from beginning to end, because Quan Hongchan's choice of 407D is slightly less difficult than Chen Yuxi's 0C, so it is normal for the score to be slightly lower. After the whole set of movements, Quan Hongchan's first, fourth, and fifth jumps were no different from Chen Yuxi's, and her second jump to the inward somersault 0C was completed even better, throwing all opponents away, and winning the first place in the preliminaries with a large advantage.
Chen Yuxi had a large deviation when he did 80C into the water, and rarely scored only 0.0 points, and the score of this jump was far away from Quan Hongchan, ranking second in the preliminaries.
Compared with the preliminaries of the Guadalajara station, Quan Hongchan has improved slightly, there are no major flaws in every jump, and she is also the only player in the audience to skip 400 points, and Chen Yuxi's total score is about the same as in the first race. However, in Mexico, Chen Yuxi was the second in the preliminaries, and won the championship in the final, and this scene has been staged many times in the history of the duel between the two, so the result of the final in Windsor is difficult to predict.
It's a little regrettable that Quan Hongchan, who used to get full marks from the referees at every turn, is now very good at every jump, but there is no 10 point in the score scored by the 0 judges in each preliminaries. At the end of the competition in Guadalajara, Quan Hongchan said, "I can't find the feeling I used to have."
It seems that she is still quite far from her best self.
