In 1998, Wu Minxia was selected by the national team with outstanding results, and her dream finally came true.
However, when she arrived at the national team, she found that the results of her previous training in the local team were not particularly outstanding here.
Although her teammates are world champions and Olympic champions, Wu is still a novice when it comes to diving.

Guo Jingjing is a "genius" in the diving world and has won numerous women's singles championships, while Wu Minxia has worked the same hard, but she is always a little worse, and is known as the "second millennium".
Wu Minxia understands the gap between herself and the other party, but she is not discouraged, but regards the other party as the motivation and goal of her efforts, and goes all out every time she trains.
