Talkin' 'bout our generations

From 1988 to 2008, three generations of Chinese "diving queens" - Gao Min, Fu Mingxia and Guo Jingjing - dominated the women's springboard.

Throughout their careers, the three diving stars demanded attention both in and out of the pool, each one a force to be reckoned with in their respective eras.

Born in Zigong, Sichuan province, Gao learned to swim at the age of 4. When she was 9 she started gymnastics training but was soon spotted by a diving coach, who persuaded her to switch sports.
