[edit] Biography
Born in Baoding, Hebei province, on October 15, 1981, she started training in competitive diving in 1988. In 1992, she was selected to dive for the Chinese national team.
Guo represented China at the 2004 Summer Olympics, earning a gold medal in the 3 metre women's synchronized springboard along with Wu Minxia before finally winning her first individual Olympic gold in the 3 metre women's springboard. She's the leading member of the Chinese national women's diving team after Fu Mingxia.
Guo has been signed up by McDonald's, though insiders have claimed she was cautioned for having too many advertising contracts and exposure since her Olympic win.
[edit] Love Life
Guo's off-the-board affairs after the Summer Olympics have been the subject of scrutiny in Mainland Chinese and Hong Kong media outlets. She is reputed to be the girlfriend of Chinese diver Tian Liang, although it is a relationship she neither admits nor denies.
Guo made entertainment headlines with a paparazzi shot of her dining with Kenneth Fok Kai-kong, the playboy grandson of the Hong Kong business tycoon Henry Fok. This time, Guo didn't deny the relationship, and has been photographed many times with Kenneth Fok in public. Most recent rumor mentioned that Fok has purchased an apartment in Bejing in October 2006 and given it to Guo as a gift.
