I was scrolling through my phone during lunch break yesterday when I stumbled upon Chen Yuxi's interview about the upcoming National Games. The video kept buffering every few seconds - that familiar frustration when you're trying to watch Chinese content from overseas. But her words about 'not having won the singles gold before' hit me differently.
She was talking about the 2021 Shaanxi National Games, where she won gold in the synchronized 10m platform with Zhang Jiaqi, but in the individual final, that fourth dive... you could see the moment it went wrong. She led until then, but Quan Hongchan overtook her, leaving Chen with silver.
What got me was how she described it: 'Started strong but couldn't maintain it, didn't perform to my level in the later jumps.' I swear I could hear that slight catch in her voice - the kind you only notice when you've been there yourself.
It reminded me of my high school swimming championships back in Toronto. I was leading the 200m freestyle until the final turn, when my goggles filled with water. I finished second, and for weeks afterward, I kept replaying that moment in my head - what if I'd adjusted them better before the race?
Chen's determination to go for the singles gold this time - 'because I haven't won it before' - made me smile. There's something about athletes that's just... different. That hunger doesn't go away, whether you're competing in China or watching from halfway across the world.
The video kept cutting out at the best parts - just when they showed that amazing slow-motion replay of her dives. My friend Lisa, who's in Melbourne, messaged me saying she couldn't even load the video at all. 'Region restricted,' her screen said. We ended up having to wait for someone to upload clips to YouTube hours later.
It's funny how technology connects us yet keeps us apart. I can watch Chen Yuxi train in real-time, but when it comes to major competitions, suddenly we're all scrambling to find working streams, dealing with lag and geo-blocks.
That generational dialogue they mentioned between three generations of divers - I'd love to watch the full documentary. The comments section was filled with people sharing their favorite diving moments, but half the overseas fans were complaining about not being able to watch properly.
You know what's the worst? When you finally get a stream working, and it freezes right at the moment someone's diving. The screen just shows them suspended in mid-air, and you're left wondering - did they nail it? Did they over-rotate? The suspense is worse than watching it live.
Anyway, rooting for Chen Yuxi this time around. That determination in her voice - it's the same tone my coach used when I finally nailed my flip turns after weeks of practice. Some things just translate, no matter where you are in the world.
