Quan Hongchan can be said to be one of the national idols. Although she is only 17 years old, she has super high popularity. She is an absolute genius player. It only took her a few days to go from being unknown to being famous all over the country. After she was selected for the national team, she has maintained top personal performance and won championships in various competitions. However, Quan Hongchan is so strong, but she still only won the runner-up three times in the world championships. Do you know who she lost to?

At the age of 11, Quan Hongchan began to sweep major domestic youth competitions. In 2020, she participated in the World Cup qualifiers and won the championship in one fell swoop. At that time, she was only 13 years old, so she was selected for the national team as an exception, and she even started new training without a dedicated coach. It is worth mentioning that Quan Hongchan is also very lucky. Because the Tokyo Olympics was postponed, her age met the 14-year-old eligibility, so at the age of 14, she successfully stood on the stage of the Tokyo Olympics.

On the stage of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, Quan Hongchan turned out to be a bright spot. The 14-year-old was eye-catching. Her technical movements were perfect. There was almost no splash when she entered the water. In the end, 3 out of 5 jumps got full marks. Not only did she win the gold medal in the women's 10-meter diving platform, but she also set a new world record. You should know that she had never participated in the world championships before, which can be said to be a blockbuster. After that, she was also very dominant and won various gold medals. At this year's Paris Olympics, Quan Hongchan also successfully won 2 gold medals for the women's single and double 10-meter diving platform, and her performance was perfect.

However, between 2021 and 2024, Quan Hongchan actually lost three times, and she only won the runner-up in the competition three times.

The first time was at the 2022 Budapest Swimming World Championships, when Quan Hongchan participated in the women's 10-meter diving competition. She also performed well all the way and jumped out a perfect score of 416.9, which was definitely a championship level. However, she met Chen Yuxi, who was in better condition. At that time, Chen Yuxi jumped out of 417.25 points. In the end, she beat Quan Hongchan with a slight advantage of 0.3 points.

The second time was at the 2024 Diving World Cup in Montreal, where Quan Hongchan continued her outstanding individual performance and scored a total of 411.45 points. However, she still failed to win the gold medal, as Chen Yuxi performed even better, with a total score of 415.35 points, crushing the entire field and winning the championship.

The third time was at the 2024 Diving World Cup Finals, where Quan Hongchan once again won the silver medal in the women's 10-meter diving platform with a total score of 410.7 points. The one who defeated her was still the genius Chen Yuxi, who scored an exaggerated 420.3 points and also won the gold medal.

It can be seen that Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi are the two most outstanding athletes. They have never failed in the duet events, and Chen Yuxi has also been underestimated in the single events. Although she lost to Quan Hongchan in the Olympics, she has beaten Quan Hongchan to win the World Cup and World Championships, which is stronger than expected.
