1, Li kongzheng-the first men's Asian games champion in China.

Born in Nanning, Guangxi, 1959, China's first men's Asian Games champion and Olympic bronze medalist. Status: The University of Michigan and the Michigan Diving School (Club) are diving instructors.

In China's diving talent pool, some people are remembered for their lack of glamorous resumes such as Olympic champions. For example, Li Kongzheng holds many records in the history of China: the first Asian Games men's champion, the first athlete who went abroad for training, but continued to represent China, and the first person who walked in the front row of the difficulty table.

1973, Li kongzheng entered the national team at the age of 14. After up to 14 hours of devil training and innovative technology a day, he let foreigners know the beauty of diving in China at Teheran 1974 Asian Games. Every time he enters the water after making a series of dazzling moves, the audience will call his name. His forward somersault for one and a half weeks and three turns, 107 forward somersault for three and a half weeks, backward somersault for two and a half weeks, and inward somersault for two and a half weeks were all the moves with the highest difficulty coefficient in the international diving rules at that time.

2. Li Hongping-China's first men's world champion

Born in 1963, Shantou, Guangdong Province, is the first men's world champion in China and the fourth athlete in the world to break through the 700 mark. Present situation: currently living in the United States, head coach of the diving team of the University of Southern California, and coach of the American diving team at the Shanghai Swimming World Championships.

At the age of 9, Li Hongping first came into contact with gymnastics, and later he was selected for the diving team. Unfortunately, because of his moodiness, timidity and aversion to diving, he almost turned to ordinary primary school students. Fortunately, coach Liang Boxi, the champion of men's platform diving in the first National Games in 1950s, kept him and took him to the international stage.

Since 1977 entered the national team, Li Hongping has won gold medals and silver medals in a series of international competitions. Until 198 1 Mexico diving world cup, surrounded by the Soviet union, the United States, Germany, Mexico and other powerful enemies, China won the first men's diving world champion. His difficult 407C (somersault for three and a half weeks) and splash technique are impressive.

In the same year, he participated in the World University Games again. In addition to winning the men's platform diving championship, he was also named the best diver in the world by FINA Swimming World magazine. He is the first male athlete in China to win this award.

3. Sun Shuwei-the first Olympic men's diving champion.

1976 was born in Jieyang, Guangdong, the first Olympic champion of men's diving in China and the first "triple crown" of men's diving in China. Present situation: I have coached second-tier players in the national team and now I am the coach of Guangdong diving team.

Sun Shuwei walked with his head down and spoke slowly since he was a child. When he smiled, the lines on his head were clearly visible. He looks like a teenager, but in fact he is very naughty. At the age of 9, he became a disciple of Hu, the famous commander-in-chief of the Guangdong army.

Sun is gifted in understanding movements. The coach often says that he will get to the point soon. 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, the last 307C (somersault for three and a half weeks), he learned it in only a few days.

1990, 14 years old, became the youngest male champion of the Asian Games. At the Perth Swimming World Championships in 199 1, he won the men's platform championship with 629.29 points. In the same year, he won the world cup men's platform champion and became the youngest man's platform champion at that time.

At the 1992 Olympic Games, Sun, who has won both the World Cup and the World Championships, finally won the Olympic title with the last action of pair skating, 307C, becoming the first diving men's Olympic champion in China.

Second, China's famous female diver

1, Zhong Shaozhen-the first Asian Games double champion.

Born in 1948, Zhongshan, Guangdong Province, the first batch of China national team members, the first Asian Games double champion.

No one has ever held many records of China's diving like her-she is the first generation diver in China, the first truly all-around wrench; The first Asian Games champion; She also holds two diving records in China: at the age of 30 when she retired, she was the oldest female diver in China; Now she is the oldest active coach of the national team, at the age of 63.

1970 when the national diving team was first established, Zhong Shaozhen, who was selected from Bayi Team, was a hot figure in the team. He enjoyed a tsunami of applause and cheers during his national tour. China participated in the Teheran Asian Games in 1974, which was of epoch-making significance for diving in China.

The China diving team was not allowed to participate until the final registration deadline for the Asian Games was less than one hour. In the women's springboard final, Zhong Shaozhen took the lead all the way, especially "turning backwards for a week and a half, holding her knees for a week and a half", with a difficulty coefficient of 2.8 and the highest score of 50.40. In the end, she won the first Asian Games diving gold medal for China.

Two days later, in the platform final, she showed the movements of "two and a half somersaults inward" and "three and a half somersaults forward", becoming the first springboard and platform champion in the Asian Games.

Zhong Shaozhen's victory has three meanings. First, it has enhanced China's international influence. This is China's first appearance in a major international competition. Secondly, it proves the international status of China diving; Third, established her position as the "big sister" in the team.

2. Chen Xiaoxia-the first world champion.

1962 was born in Guangzhou, winning the first World Universiade champion for diving in China, and opening a new era of diving in China.

September 8th, 1979 is a memorable day for diving in China. On the same day, at the 10 Universiade, Chen became famous in World War I, winning the women's 10 meter platform championship and becoming the first diving world champion in China.

In terms of physical condition, Chen is not outstanding, but when 1974 joined the Guangdong team, she quickly caught the attention of the coach: she is the most trained player, and she dares to fight and fight, and her training is almost perfect. The amount of training that other players can complete in 3 hours can only be completed in 2 hours. Moreover, she always dares to challenge new difficult moves and male players.

Chen 1977 was selected for the national team and studied under the famous coach Liang Boxi. In order to attack the new technology of "splashing water", she changed from clenching her fist to entering the water. After more than a year of exploration and repeated attempts, she finally mastered the new technology and began to emerge in international competitions.

197865438+In February, Chen went to the 8th Asian Games for the first time and won the gold medal in platform diving. Her splash control technology shocked the world. At the 1979 Universiade held in Mexico, Chen participated in the 3m springboard competition for the first time. Although she and her teammate Shi Meiqin lost to Russian star Karenina, she became an absolute master in the final of 10 meter platform, which was the first time that China won a gold medal in a large-scale world sports meeting.

Subsequently, she monopolized the champions of platform diving competitions at home and abroad from the end of 1970s to the beginning of 1980s, including 198 1 champion of the second World Cup and Universiade, and was named "the world's best diver" twice by American Swimming World magazine, and was named "diving queen".

3. Shi Meiqin-the first World Cup champion

1962 was born in Shanghai, 198 1 won the women's 3m springboard gold medal in the Mexican diving world cup, becoming the first world champion in China's diving history.

Once, Shi Meiqin was mistaken by her teammates as "Miss Jiao" from Shanghai, a soldier standing on a high platform. However, it was her stubborn personality that won the first World Cup in China's diving history.

Because my mother died early, my father always held her in his hand. After she 1974 joined the Shanghai team, coach Xuan Zengyong took care of her like her own child. I don't know why, she couldn't finish the physical training arranged by the coach and became the object of criticism and help in the group and the team. Shi Meiqin is not convinced and often argues with the coach and the team leader. She doesn't know that everyone is strictly training her, giving her a "small stove" to make her better.

1974, 12-year-old Shi Meiqin represented the Shanghai team in Zhanjiang, Guangdong. During the pre-competition training, the coach asked her to try 10 meter platform for the first time. However, she just stood on the platform all afternoon and became a "standing statue" beside the railing, insisting on not jumping. It was not until all the players and coaches finished their work that she overcame herself to complete the action.

After entering the national team, Liu Henglin, Li Kongzheng, Wang Weiguo and other brothers in the same group helped her master many difficult moves quickly in their own ways, among which 107B (three and a half somersaults) later became Shi Meiqin's killer. At that time, even male players, few people could master this movement.

Slowly, Shi Meiqin's diving advantage appeared. From 1977 to 1980, she won the national women's springboard championship again, and from 1978, she won the women's springboard championship of the 8th Asian Games.

198 1 Mexican diving world cup is the first time that China has participated in a high-level international competition. Judging from the schedule, the women's springboard is the first event. Shi Meiqin, who played with injury, was the first to play in the final with the mentality of mourning for victory. Unexpectedly, she kept the leading position, and finally locked the championship with 50 1 minute, winning the first gold medal in the historic World Cup for China.

4. First Olympic Champion Week.

1965 was born in Wuhan. 1984 became the first diving Olympic champion in China.

At the age of 6, Zhou entered the training team of Wuhan Amateur Sports School to practice gymnastics. After the boring training, every day is a scene in my yard on Tianjin Road in Hankou. My mother acted as the referee and solemnly announced the appearance of captain and Olympic champion week. Zhou began to prepare activities, such as leg press, splits and so on. Her movements were so elegant that a group of twittering imitators soon gathered behind her. They didn't expect that a few years later, it really became Olympic champion week.

/kloc-when she was 0/2 years old, she practiced diving, and her performance was far behind her peers, but she quickly turned the tables. /kloc-After being selected for the national team at the age of 0/6, she attracted the attention of all coaches with her distinctive personality. Through her efforts, she finally joined the coaching team in Xu Yiming and became a young coach of Shi Meiqin.

Zhou 1982 Ecuador participated in the international competition for the first time, and ranked third in the women's platform because of excessive tension. But she is good at summing up, and she stood on the podium in the second World Cup.

Due to his unstable state, Zhou was not selected for the 1984 Olympic team at first. It was not until two weeks before the deadline for Olympic registration that Zhou was qualified for the competition because his teammates who had been selected were accidentally injured. As it was the first time for the New China delegation to participate in the Olympic Games, the atmosphere inside and outside the team was extremely tense. Zhou didn't feel pressure, and he made self-psychological adjustment by embroidery every day. In the women's platform final, she jumped more bravely, and the last jump was unexpectedly perfect, winning China's first Olympic gold medal in diving with a lead of 4 points.

5. Xu Yanmei-Oriental Ruby

Born in 197 1, a native of Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, won the women's 100-meter platform championship in the 1988 Olympic Games.

1In the autumn of 978, Wei Huapeng, the gymnastics coach of Nanchang Youth Sports School, reluctantly accepted the black and thin Xu Yanmei under the strong recommendation of the children's primary school teacher of diesel engine factory. Soon, this little girl, who is taciturn and speaks Gannan dialect, broke out with indomitable will, which made people sit up and take notice. A year later, he switched to diving and studied under the young beauty coach Ouyang Rui. However, the harshness of the coach once made her collapse, but the once unreachable goal gradually became clear in her eyes-the world champion.

1984, Xu Yanmei's unique "open hanging" technology made its debut in the domestic competition, which shocked everyone. Since then, her technology has been praised as "Kaimei Li" at home and abroad. However, because she made inexplicable mistakes in the first international competition 1986 Asian Games, and then made unnecessary mistakes in the competition, the evaluation of "poor psychological quality, poor control and unstable play" almost ruined her for a time.

After all aspects of coordination and self-psychological adjustment, Xu Yanmei quickly walked out of the trough and won the World Cup women's table champion, the National Games women's table champion and several international invitational women's table champions in 1987, with obvious advantages.

The women's platform competition is the first day of the 1988 Olympic Games. Originally, the China delegation made several breakthroughs for the first gold medal. However, the reality was far from what was expected, and it finally fell on Xu Yanmei, who was in the final that night. In the final, the competition between Xu Yanmei and American veteran Mitchell was fierce until the last move.

Xu Yanmei calmly stepped onto the platform, calmed down a little, and then jumped, rolled and entered the water, as if a meteor had crossed in the air, like a silver needle inserted into the clear water. This oriental "ruby" blooms the most dazzling light with the energy accumulated since she practiced diving! She won the first gold medal of this Olympic Games for the China sports delegation!

6, Gao Min-smiling ever-victorious general

1970 was born in Zigong, Sichuan. 1988 and 1992 won the gold medal in the women's 3m springboard in the Olympic Games, keeping the "all-win record" in international competitions.

At the age of 9, Gao Min entered the water for the first time, and she had a strong sense of pride and value recognition. She jumped off the 3-meter-high platform without hesitation. Because of his extraordinary talent, Gao Min became the only winner in that group. In the National Diving Championships held in Chengdu, Sichuan from 65438 to 0983, Gao Min, who was aiming to enter the top 25, became the youngest national champion in China at that time.

From 65438 to 0984, Gao Min was selected into the national youth training team and became a disciple of Xu Yiming. This is a tacit understanding between master and apprentice. The coach is good at thinking and the players are good at calculating. From then on, she began to dominate the world. 1986 Barcelona World Championships, she won easily. After that, it broke through the 600 mark three times in the competitions in Jinan, Canada and the United States, and the "Gao Min era" came from here. From then on, the longer Gao Min kept her unbeaten record, the greater the ideological pressure, and she was always struggling with herself.

1988 Gao Min participated in the Olympic Games for the first time. Prior to this, the delegation of China got off to a bad start. However, in the competition, Gao Min, the favorite of gold medal, was very close to the other three players until the last action, 5335 (a somersault and two and a half turns), which was the first time she used it in the competition. As a result, she won the championship by 45 points over the runner-up.

In 199 1 World Championships, Gao Min was affected by waist injury and arm injury successively, and fought against the injury after injecting drugs, and successfully won the World Championships 1 m springboard and 3m springboard.

Injuries, praise from the outside world, and people's expectations for the 1992 Olympic Games have made people feel the fear that "not winning the gold medal is a crime". However, she finally resisted the pressure and won the 3-meter springboard championship. Standing on the podium, she burst into tears and enjoyed the championship courtesy of watching the national flag rise and playing the national anthem for the last time.

7. Fu Mingxia-I am a legend.

1977 was born in Wuhan, Hubei Province, 1992, 1996, winner of four gold medals in three Olympic Games in 2000. He is the first athlete in the history of China Olympic Games to win the Olympic champion three times in a row.

In the history of diving in China, Fu Mingxia is a legend.

1 1 years old, Fu Mingxia swept the women's 10 meter platform gold medal at the goodwill games in San Francisco, USA. She is the youngest diving champion in the history of international competitions and has been recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records.

1992 At the Perth Swimming World Championships, 12-year-old Fu Mingxia won the championship again. At the same year's Barcelona Olympic Games, Fu Mingxia had almost no rivals and won the Olympic gold medal by nearly 50 points higher than the second place.

However, in the face of physical development, Fu Mingxia had a hard time in the next four years. Seeing the young players in coach Yu Fen's group emerge, she is very unwilling, and often continues to train while crying. 1994, the team arranged for her to be a springboard. Although the training intensity and mental stress increased sharply, Fu Mingxia "protested" and "rebelled", but she persisted in completing the training.

1996 At the Atlanta Olympic Games, Fu Mingxia created a miracle-he won the platform and springboard championships in succession, and he caught a cold with emphasis! She is the first Olympic platform and springboard gold medal winner in the world diving history!

Two Olympic Games exhausted Fu Mingxia's fighting spirit. After returning to China, she chose to retire and enter Tsinghua University. Unexpectedly, two years later, she appeared in front of the springboard again. After her comeback, she didn't enjoy any special treatment. She started from the national second-class competition and worked hard step by step until she was qualified for the Olympic Games. Different from her willfulness and arrogance when she was a child, she became more optimistic, open-minded and dedicated.

Before the women's volleyball final of Sydney Olympic Games, Fu Mingxia caught a cold and had a fever again. Just like the previous two Olympic Games, this familiar physical feeling made her relive that glorious moment! As a result, Fu Mingxia won her fourth Olympic gold medal in her third Olympic Games!
