Tokyo Olympics: China’s diving star Quan Hongchan reveals ambition – ‘owning a supermarket’
- Snack-loving teenager’s new dream is an upgrade of her previous hope of owning a small shop
- Tokyo 2020 double gold medal-winning diver also wants to visit a water park once she is done with China National Games
China’s Olympic diving sensation Quan Hongchan revealed her ambition to reporters in her first interview since claiming two gold medals in Tokyo.
Rather than more Olympic success the 14-year-old said that she wanted to “open a supermarket”.
Quan, who won golds in the individual and synchronised 10m platform events, has been the subject of much media interest.
Her mother had revealed in an earlier interview that the snack-loving teenager’s dream was to open a small store but Quan said that her new supermarket would be “much bigger”.

“I want to open a big one. A supermarket bigger than the shop with lots of snacks inside!” she said, as reported in Chinese media.
