In the list of 63 Zigong torchbearers, there is no name of "diving queen" Gao Min. Yesterday, the reporter learned from the Municipal Sports Bureau that after the official selection of Zigong torchbearers began, the Municipal Sports Bureau took the initiative to contact Zigong diving queen Gao Min, world champion Tong Ling and cultural celebrity Wei Minglun, and formally invited them to return home to participate in the Olympic torch relay.
According to the arrangement, Gao Min, the diving queen, will not occupy the number of torchbearers in Zigong, but will be selected by another selection subject. When the Olympic flame is passed to Zigong, Gao Min will also return to her hometown to participate in this exciting moment. Dong Chao, a disabled athlete from Zigong, is preparing for the shooting competition of the 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games in the national team. He is also one of the torchbearers in Zigong and will take part in the Olympic torch relay in Zigong.
