国家奥运金牌精英抵港，所到之处皆引起一阵旋风，其中跳水金牌得主田亮、郭晶晶以及蛙泳金牌得主罗雪娟，昨日甫抵港便忙里偷闲到中环一家珠宝金行购物，不过行程始终让神通广大的传媒得悉，以致三人最终不能像一般游客一样，尽情享受在港的购物乐趣。

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.
