GAO MIN, Olympic diving medalist

The women's 3m springboard final was amazing! I believe it was the best competition I have ever witnessed! The performances of the top six divers were all impressive, but after Chinese diving diva Guo Jingjing made her first dive, I knew she would win.

After such a perfect performance that night, it would be a great pity if she retired after the Beijing Olympics.

The Chinese diving team still has two competitions to go. I'm confident our athletes can dive to gold. Let's cheer for them!

There have been many gold winners who have made me cry. Zhang Ning, who won the gold in women's badminton singles, moved me the most. After all, an athlete's emotions matter a lot when playing badminton.

In the singles final on Friday, the 33-year-old cried every time she won a game. And every time she cried, I cried with her. When I saw Zhang get down on her knees celebrating her victory, I couldn't help but cry with her again.

Her four years of hardship, facing pressure and overcoming her injury finally paid off. I admire her!

China has made many breakthroughs at the Beijing Olympics. I have been constantly excited and surprised over the last 10 days. I am worried about how long it will take me to adjust to normal life when the Olympics is over.

Don't you think this is a good problem to have?
