Champions join fitness program

Don't be surprised if you see Guo Jingjing running next to you in your local gym some day soon.

Guo, China's most successful diver and dubbed the "diving queen", revealed she is going to visit gyms in 358 residential areas in 35 cities and 22 provinces in China to share her passion of keeping fit with the public.

"We will spend at least seven days a year in the communities to do exercises with the people there," Guo told China Daily at the launch of a national fitness program initiated by the State General Administration of Sports of China (SGAS) on Saturday. "It's impossible for me to teach diving in the gym but we can share the joy of body building," said the diver who will seek her fifth Olympic gold medal at the London Games in 2012.
