My Take

Quan Hongchan is one of those athletes who made me sit up the moment I saw the splash-free entries. Winning Olympic gold on the individual 10 metre platform at Tokyo 2020 at fourteen is the kind of feat that sounds exaggerated until you watch the scorecards. What impresses me more is that she didn't fade afterward; she came back at Paris 2024 and took both the individual platform and the synchronized title with Chen Yuxi. At 143 cm she's tiny even by diving standards, yet she generates absurd control in the air. I find her trajectory genuinely rare for a teenager carrying that much pressure.

Overview

Quan Hongchan (Chinese: 全红婵; pinyin: Quán Hóngchán; born 28 March 2007) is a Chinese diver, national champion, and Olympic champion. At the 2020 Summer Olympics, she won the gold medal in the individual 10 metre platform event. At the 2024 Summer Olympics, Quan won the gold medal in the individual 10 metre platform event and, alongside teammate Chen Yuxi, also won gold in the 10 metre synchronized platform.
