When she successfully defended her title, Quan Hongchan hugged her coach Chen Ruolin and buried her head in Chen Ruolin's arms and shed tears of excitement. And Chen Ruolin kept comforting and helping her wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes for Quan Hongchan, who was still a 17-year-old child. Indeed, outsiders only see Quan Hongchan's perfect performance, but they don't know how much sweat she has paid for this over the years.
It is worth noting that Quan Hongchan also broke the record of her great predecessor Fu Mingxia and became the youngest "3 gold king" in the history of the Chinese Olympic Games at 17 years and 131 days. Considering that she is still underage, it may only be a matter of time before Quan Hongchan continues to break various records in the future.
