I was scrolling through Weibo during my lunch break here in Toronto when I came across that interview with Chen Yuxi – the one where she talks about her National Games journey. The video kept buffering every few seconds, making her determined expression appear in frustrating fragments, like pieces of a puzzle I desperately wanted to solve.
There was something about the way she said ‘I haven’t won it before, so this time my goal is to go for the singles championship’ that hit me differently. Maybe it’s because I’ve been watching Chinese sports events from overseas for years, always dealing with geo-restrictions and laggy streams that make me feel disconnected from home.
I remember watching Chen Yuxi at the 2021 National Games in Shaanxi – or rather, trying to watch. The stream kept freezing right during her fourth dive in the singles final, the one where she made that crucial mistake that let Quan Hongchan overtake her. When the video finally caught up, I saw that split-second of disappointment flash across her face before she composed herself.
‘Started strong but faded toward the end – I really didn’t perform to my level in the later dives,’ she recalled in the interview. Hearing her say those words while sitting in my apartment thousands of miles away, I suddenly remembered my own ‘fourth dive’ moments – those times when everything was going perfectly until one small misstep changed everything.
What struck me most was how different this pressure feels from the Olympics. The National Games might not have the global spotlight, but for these athletes, it’s personal. It’s about proving something to themselves after coming so close before. Chen already has her Olympic gold with Zhang Jiaqi in synchronized diving, but that singles title at National Games remains just out of reach.
The video showed clips of her training – the sound of water splashing as she entered the pool, the determined look in her eyes during practice. It made me think about all the overseas Chinese athletes and fans who struggle to follow these domestic competitions properly. We want to cheer for our heroes, but often end up watching pixelated versions of their triumphs and struggles.
There’s something beautiful about Chen’s persistence though. Four years between competitions is a lifetime in sports, yet here she is, still chasing that singles championship. It’s not about the medal anymore – you can tell from her voice it’s about closure, about finishing what she started back in 2021.
As the interview ended with Chen talking about the ’40-year legacy of Chinese diving,’ I found myself smiling. Despite the buffering and connection issues, her determination came through crystal clear. It’s athletes like her who make dealing with all the streaming troubles worthwhile – because some stories are just too inspiring to miss, no matter where in the world you’re watching from.
