About Quan
Quan Hongchan is considered one of the greatest diving prodigies in history. Born in Zhanjiang, Guangdong, on 28 March 2007, she was just 14 years old when she stunned the world at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, scoring a near-perfect 96.05 points on a single dive and becoming the youngest diving Olympic gold medalist in the event’s history. Her scores included multiple perfect 10s from judges — an extraordinarily rare feat at Olympic level. She has since continued to dominate international diving competitions, with China’s diving machine producing consistently flawless results from their most talented prodigy.
