Xiong Ni and Fu Mingxia Will Be Back on the Diving Arena
Xiong Ni will leave his hometown Changsha and return to the national diving team after the Chinese Lunar New Year. At the invitation of the swimming management center of State Sports Administration, he will prepare for the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. Xiong expressed the desire to do his part in his team.
As has been known, former Olympic champion Fu Mingxia will also go back to her former diving team from Tsinghua University this March. Fu has kept training at diving while carrying on with her study in the university. So her training mood and water sense is still very good.
When speaking about their return to the sports field for the 2000 Olympic Games an authoritative view is that personal success by the two athletes will give them the full qualification for the Olympic content.
