    Hundreds of media reporters have flocked to get a glimpse of the legendary diver at a press conference held Thursday afternoon in Beijing.

    Based on his diary, Tian's autobiography is a personal record of his hard work throughout his career. It also contains a large number of beautiful pictures specially chosen to portray Tian Liang's fashionable style.

    It also, for the first time, discloses details about Tian's love life.  

    27-year-old Tian Liang is famous for being a leading force in the star-studded Chinese diving team. He is known for his explosive strength and vigorous movements as well as his agility in execution on the 10-meter platform.

    Tian set a new world record while competing to win Sydney Olympic gold medal in the men's 10-meter platform event. He scored 101.52 points during one attempt in the finals, moving on to beat arch rival Dimitry Sautin of Russia to win the gold medal.

    Tian's world record is the highest score ever recorded for one diver in the history of Olympic diving competition.

    He failed to defend his 10-meter platform title in Athens, however, instead winning a gold medal in synchronized competition.

    His bright sunny smile has made him an adorable sweetheart in media and entertainment circles, but continual involvement in social and commercial activities has cost him a place on the national team, as he was demoted back to his provincial team in 2005.
