Ahh..Ye Shiwen, wasnt she the brilliant 16yr old that actually swam faster than one of the men's relay 100mt freestyle in the Olympics? Astounding! The world were sceptical, but suely not...the Chinese cheating? Unheard of. BTW ~ Im quite the sporting fan, but have not heard anything about this brilliant girl since that time...does anyone know? My guess, she's still in rehab!!
