The gold medal winner of women's 3m springboard Guo Jingjing at the awarding ceremony, August 26, 2004.
World champion diver Guo Jingjing snatched China's fifth straight women's Olympic three meters springboard title on Aug. 26th, finishing ahead of teammate Wu Minxia and Russian Yulia Pakhalina.
The 22-year-old kept the title that Gao Min won in 1988 and 1992, a feat emulated by Fu Mingxia in 1996 and 2000. It is the second Olympic gold for Guo, 2000 runner-up who with Wu grabbed the synchronized springboard gold on Aug. 13.
Guo totaled 633.15 points, 21.15 ahead of the 18-year-old Wu and a further 1.38 of the Russian bronze medallist.
It was China's fifth diving gold in Athens after triumphs by Peng Bo (men's springboard), Lao Lishi/Li Ting (women's synchronized platform), Tian Liang/Yang Jinghui (men's synchronized platform) and Guo/Wu (women's synchronized springboard).
"This is the gold medal I wanted most," said Guo. "I gave the best and now I don't have regret any more."
