Just hours before stepping onto the platform for her final event at the 15th National Games, Chinese diving sensation Quan Hongchan offered a heartwarming moment behind the scenes—reminding everyone that even champions are teammates first.
At around 3:43 pm, more than two hours before the women's synchronized 10-meter platform final, Quan was spotted by reporters at the diving venue, not in deep focus or solitude, but lightly jogging across the facility—not to warm up, but to deliver kinesiology tape to a teammate in need.
With a quick pace and a smile, Quan handed over the recovery tape, then sat beside her teammate, engaging in a relaxed and friendly conversation. The entire interaction lasted about six minutes, but it left a lasting impression.
In these candid moments, Quan shed the aura of an Olympic gold medalist and revealed a grounded, caring, and quietly humorous side. Her thoughtful gesture captured the genuine bond among teammates and the warm, collaborative atmosphere within the Chinese diving team.
