Olympic Games Diary I


Chinese swimmer Ye Shiwen has been the greatest attraction of the Olympic Games so far. She has won gold medals in the 200 meters individual medley with Olympic record and the 400 meters individual medley with an outstanding world record. Her performance seems normal for an Olympic gold medalist, but it is spectacular considering she is only sixteen. And more surprising is that she swan the last 50 meters of the 400 meters race faster than her male counterpart in the same event. Awesome!

Obviously, her records have raised a few eyebrows among swimming coaches and competitors. The Chinese authorities have backed up her swimmer, and the person-in-charge of the Olympic Games anti-doping program has defended the drug detention procedures. In brief, we will have to wait for the final results of the doping tests. I hope she is clean.

    Obviously, her records have raised a few eyebrows (great expression) among swimming coaches and competitors. The Chinese authorities have backed up THEIR swimmer, and the person-in-charge of the Olympic Games anti-doping program has defended the drug deteCtion procedures.
