New gold rush eludes Olympic champions
國家奧運金牌精英抵港,所到之處皆引起一陣旋風(fēng),其中跳水金牌得主田亮、郭晶晶以及蛙泳金牌得主羅雪娟,昨日甫抵港便忙里偷閑到中環(huán)一家珠寶金行購物,不過行程始終讓神通廣大的傳媒得悉,以致三人最終不能像一般游客一樣,盡情享受在港的購物樂趣。

They may be Olympic gold medalists, but like thousands of mainland tourists they went shopping for gold jewelry in Hong Kong on Monday.

In the end, however, they left empty-handed, a media frenzy hampering their efforts to choose their pieces.

Tian Liang and Guo Jingjing, China's diving prince and princess, went looking for gold immediately after their arrival.

The pair was also accompanied on their shopping tour by Luo Xuejuan, who won the women's 100m breaststroke.

However, because they only had a short amount of time, the three gold medalists were unable to pick out anything while they were mobbed by the media.

To compensate, the shop gave them each a diamond pendant .

Hua Jia and Yang Jinghui, who also won diving golds, had more success with their shopping by not attending a press conference. Hu chose a jade bracelet for his mother, while Yang bought some digital products from an electronics store.
