The past Chinese diver (跳水运动员) Guo Jingjing appeared at the Paris Olympics this summer, but this time, she was there in a new role - as the chief referee (裁判长).
Born in 1981, Guo Jingjing started diving at the age of 7. She practiced hard and quickly became very good at it. In 1993, she joined China's national diving team. Guo got hurt many times, but she never gave up. She got the title of world champion (冠军) 31 times in all. She also won 4 Olympic gold medals.
Guo stopped diving at the age of 30, but she still wanted to do something for China's diving team. She decided to become a referee. After years of hard work, she finally made it. When she appeared at the Paris Olympics, everyone was excited. "I will try my best to make sure that the diving competitions are fair (公平的)" she said. Guo Jingjing would like to help others as long as she has time. She once helped poor children in villages go to school and live a better life.
In short, Guo Jingjing is a very special person. She sets a great example for young people who want to be divers or just want to work hard at something they love.
