I was scrolling through my cousin’s Weibo feed yesterday when I stumbled upon that viral CCTV Sports video – you know, the one featuring three generations of Chinese diving legends sitting together like old friends catching up. What got me wasn’t just their Olympic medals, but how Zhou Jihong casually mentioned how diving boards felt different in the 80s – ‘like springy wooden planks that sometimes splintered’ – while Wu Minxia and Chen Yuxi exchanged knowing glances about today’s high-tech platforms.
There’s something about hearing Zhou Jihong’s voice – that distinct 80s accent mixed with coach-like authority – describing how they’d practice in unheated pools during winter. ‘Our fingers would turn purple,’ she recalled, ‘but we’d just rub them together and dive again.’ Meanwhile, Chen Yuxi, the youngest of the trio, unconsciously twisted her own fingers as she listened, as if feeling that decades-old cold through the screen.
What struck me most was Wu Minxia sharing that photo from 2004 – not of her standing on the podium, but of her crying in the locker room after a failed dive during practice. ‘My coach told me the water doesn’t care about your tears, only your technique,’ she said with a laugh that didn’t quite reach her eyes. Statistics show that Chinese divers train an average of 8 hours daily for 12 years before reaching Olympic level – that’s over 35,000 hours of repeatedly hitting the water.
The conversation took an unexpected turn when Chen Yuxi mentioned her pre-competition ritual – listening to the same Jay Chou song her mother loved. ‘It’s funny,’ Zhou Jihong responded, ‘we didn’t have MP3s in my time. We’d hum revolutionary songs to keep rhythm.’ This generational gap hit me harder than any diving score ever could – from revolutionary songs to K-pop, yet the pressure remains unchanged.
Towards the end, Wu Minxia revealed something that made me pause my scrolling – she keeps a small notebook where she writes one positive thing about each training day. ‘Some days it’s just ‘didn’t get water up my nose today,” she admitted with genuine laughter. It’s these unpolished moments that remind us champions aren’t superhuman – they’re just people who kept showing up, even on ‘water-up-the-nose’ days.
Watching them interact felt like overhearing family stories at a reunion – the respected elder, the accomplished middle generation, and the promising youth. When Chen Yuxi shyly asked Zhou Jihong what she’d change if she could start over, the response was unexpectedly simple: ‘I’d worry less about perfect entries and enjoy the flight more.’ Maybe that’s the real legacy – not just gold medals, but learning to find joy in the fall.
