Screaming spectators and rapid-fire camera flashes are something Chinese "Diving queen" Guo Jingjing has gotten used to.
She proved her cool in the face of heavy pressure yesterday as she began her bid to sweep the springboard gold medals with a perfect start, seizing the women's synchronized gold with partner Wu Minxia.
"Of course I had pressure. I cannot avoid it, only try to adjust properly," said the 26-year-old multiple Olympic and world champion.
