Two days ago, the 26-year-old Chinese diving beauty Ma Yuanyoujia, known as Japan’s “Nagasawa Masami” in the diving world, officially announced her comeback, pointing to the 2024 Paris Olympics! Maybe you are very unfamiliar with the name Ma Yuan Youjia, but you must have heard of Ma Yuan Youjia’s husband’s famous name-Japanese swimming “derailed man” Seto Taiya.
Ma Yuan Youjia’s father, Ma Yuan Chongying, formerly known as Su Wei, used to be the diving coach of the Shanghai team, and later moved to Japan. He is now coaching the Japanese JSS Baoyuan Club. His disciples include Ken Terai, the third runner-up in the 2000 Sydney Olympics, and the age of 12 in 2019. Tamai Ludou became the youngest national champion in the history of diving in Japan. As a result of her childhood, Ma Yuan Youjia learned to swim at the age of 3 and dive at the age of 6, and she was also selected for the Japanese national team. In 2009, she won the bronze medal at the East Asian Games in Hong Kong, but not many people knew her, and the outside world really started to know. Ma Yuan Youjia, even because of her Japanese swimming “big brother” husband Seto Tai also “derailed”, life is really ironic!
In September 2020, the Japanese media kicked it off. Seto Oya, the world champion and Rio bronze medalist, cheated on the flight attendant. The two had an affair in a love hotel for 1.5 hours and then took their two daughters home. The scandal shocked the whole of Japan, but Ma Yuanyoujia knew nothing about it, and even posted a message on his personal social platform to thank her husband for taking the children home. Later, Ma Yuan Youjia learned that she was betrayed by her husband, and still chose to forgive Seto Taiya, which is amazing.
Recently, Ma Yuan Youjia appeared by the diving pool again. She revealed that it was the Tokyo Olympics held in front of her house last year, which ignited the flames in her heart. There is something unfinished,” according to Japanese media reports, although Ma Yuan Youjia just announced his comeback, he actually started preparations as early as October last year! After more than two months of hard training, he recovered well and finished fourth in the Nakata Wednesday Cup held in Ishikawa Prefecture. She said frankly that all indicators at this stage are still far behind: “There is no muscle strength, and it feels like playing on a plank. After restarting the exercise, the coach said that “muscle strength is lower than ordinary people” and it is not an athlete’s body.”
Speaking of long-term goals, Ma Yuanyoujia is eager to be on the stage of the 2024 Paris Olympics: “In order to be able to fight in the world arena, it is necessary to increase the difficulty of the action compared to the current era. I want to move forward one step ahead. Next year, the Japan National Swimming Competition and the Olympic Games. The trials will be a “big test”.
