It's not a one-day journey to the referee's chair at the Olympics. Guo Jingjing, a celebrity who has fought for years at poolside, has finally been appointed to the FINA Diving Technical Committee for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Her role, like an impartial ruler, measures the performance of the judges in every event. The end of the Tokyo Olympics did not stop Guo Jingjing, she continued to invest in further education, and finally, her hard work paid off - in the Paris Olympics, she once again stepped onto the Olympic stage as a referee.
However, it was not a simple return. Every verdict of Guo Jingjing is like a heavy bomb that triggers ripples on the field of play. She knows that every verdict she makes is not only about the honor of the athletes, but also about the legacy of the Olympic spirit. She firmly believes that no matter where she is, she has to stick to the original heart of the Olympics and maintain the fairness and impartiality of the competition.
With her new role established, Guo Jingjing's voice has become firmer. Her change of identity from athlete to referee has given her a whole new perspective on the Olympics. She aspires, at every Olympics, to work side by side with the athletes to pass on the Olympic message of friendship, unity, peace and progress.
