I am happy to see someone who is very young achieve something extra-ordinary. Only 16 years old and has 2 gold medal in the olympics is a big feat. I can only imagine how she trained for this. To be the best in something means you have to work hard and do a lot of sacrifices. Well Done Ye Shiwen. I hope that you continue to excel and not be bothered by the allegations that you have used performance enhancing drugs. I really hope that that is not true. Because she swam faster than her male counterpart Lochte, eople should not speculate. Although men are generally stronger and faster than women, there are exeptions. What do you guys think?

She is sensational. And I agree that it must have come from years of disciplined training and sacrifices. It's great to see her success; but I just can't help feeling concern about the 'winning at all costs' attitude that her government seems to embrace. Many of these atheletes were put in training camps at a very young age. And even their families must accept the fact that their own children are hardly belong to the families once they are prepared to win gold medals representing the country.
