On January 27, Beijing time, diving queen Gao Min updated weibo dynamics: agree 2022, be happy yourself. She also posted a video of herself swimming in the pool, where the 52-year-old was wearing a one-piece swimsuit and was well-proportioned. Whether it is freestyle or backstroke, Gao Min can swim easily, and she is light and free in the water, which makes people believe that she has passed half a hundred years.
Seeing the video of Gao Min swimming in the pool, many fans were quite surprised and left messages: "It turns out that divers can swim is true", "Mermaid Buddha", "Beautiful Diving Queen", "yyds"... I have to say that Gao Min's self-discipline has continued from the former arena to life, and it is admirable that he can maintain good exercise habits and physical condition in his 50s.
Although China's diving champions are like clouds, the title of the original "diving queen" belongs to Gao Min. She learned to swim at the age of 4, began diving training at the age of 9, and was selected for the Sichuan Diving Team the following year. With outstanding talent and performance, Gao Min was selected into the "National Diving Junior Training Group" at the age of 15, and won the springboard diving championship at the 5th Swimming World Championships the following year, and also won the women's team championship with his teammates.
Gao Min is one of the young and famous representatives of Chinese sports, and at the 24th Olympic Games, at the age of 18, she won the springboard diving gold medal in one fell swoop, becoming China's first Olympic springboard diving gold medalist. Four years later, she made a stunning appearance at the Olympics again, winning the women's 3m springboard championship. Gao Min has won more than 70 gold medals in her career, creating a seven-year record for winning many international competitions, and she is also the first female athlete in the world to break the 600-point diving mark.
After the Barcelona Olympics, Gao Min, who was at the peak of his career, chose to retire from the rapids and bid farewell to the field. After retiring from the military, she went to Ball State University in Indiana for further study. When Gao Min met her former husband Su Dong in the United States, the two gave birth to a son after marriage, but the happy life of a family of three did not last long, and Gao Min and Su Dong broke up and parted ways. Gao Min then took his son to Canada and became a coach at a diving club.
In Canada, Gao Min met her current husband, Chen Zhigang, a Chinese doctor who was ten years older than her, and the two fell in love and married and had children. Both of Gao Min's sons followed Chen Zhigang to Canadian citizenship. Since 2005, due to the needs of career development, Gao Min and his wife have chosen to return to China for development.
Today's Gao Min, life is relatively leisurely and free, in addition to participating in some sports promotion activities, she will focus on public welfare education projects. Gao Min's two sons have grown up, but neither of them has taken the mantle of their mother to embark on the road of diving, which is really regrettable.
