In the Olympic arena, the role of a referee is far more daunting than one might imagine. Through the years, Guo Jingjing has been honored as a member of the FINA Diving Technical Committee for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, where her mission is to scrutinize and ensure the impartiality of the judges. At the tail end of the Tokyo Olympics, Guo did not stop but continued to deepen her professionalism. Finally, her hard work paid off and she succeeded in joining the ranks of referees. Now, in the Paris Olympics, we witnessed her figure again. Even though we don't want to see her favoritism due to her personal feelings, her presence at least ensures that other referees won't be biased against the Chinese team, which undoubtedly plays a key role in the realization of the Chinese team's goal of striving for eight gold medals.
The transition to a new role has given Guo Jingjing a whole new perspective to experience the Olympics. Every cry is accompanied by a deep realization of the Olympic spirit. She aspires to work side by side with the athletes in every Olympics, jointly interpreting the Olympic concepts of mutual understanding, friendship, long-lasting solidarity and fair competition.
