HEFEI, Central China, March 23 (Xinhua) -- World and Olympic champion diver Guo Jingjing shined at the 2008 National Diving Championships here on Sunday as she ruled the women's three-meter synchronized springboard event. As the 2008 National Diving Championships serves as the last Olympic qualifier for the synchronized events, the Chinese diving icon didn't play the individual events, and the women's 3m springboard synchro was her only performance here.

"Until now, we still don't know who will play the Olympic Games in synchro," said Guo, 27. "As the Olympic Games is coming, there are not too much time left, so we need to train harder and harder."

The 27-year-old Guo breezily held her reign in springboard synchro with her old partner Wu Minxia, the Shanghai veteran, by winning the 3m synchro event at 2008 National Diving Championships.

The springboard specialist has taken part in a series of competitions in recent days, and her performances were always steady and quite good.

"I played lots of competitions since the beginning of 2008," said Guo."I cannot say I don't feel tired, but it is not a big deal."

The "Diving queen" clinched the gold of the women's 3m springboard at the National Olympic trial in Jinan in January this year, and then she took part in the "Good Luck Beijing" 16th FINA World Cup on February and won a gold of the 3m springboard synchro with Wu and a silver of the 3m springboard.
