OLYMPICS Golden girl Wu rewrites Olympic diving record booksRIO DE JANEIRO: China’s Wu Minxia splashed into the Olympic record books on Sunday, passing legends like American Greg Louganis and “big sister” Guo Jingjing as the most decorated diver in history. We all wished that the Chinese divers would have a good performance during the Olympic Games,” Wu said afterward. At the age of 30, she also became the oldest women’s winner in Olympic diving history, and Wu admitted feeling those years in the run-up. “I thought about giving up before these Olympic Games because I got injured for a month and I thought it would take a lot of time to recover. Wu’s five gold medals take her one past Guo, compatriots Fu Mingxia and Chen Ruolin, Louganis, and Patricia McCormick of the USA.
