Ye Shiwen (Chinese:叶诗文;pinyin:Yè Shīwén;Mandarin pronunciation:[jê ʂɻ̩́ wə̌n] ⓘ; born 1 March 1996) is a Chinese swimmer. At the2012 Summer Olympics, she won gold medals in the 400 metres and 200 metresindividual medley, breaking theworld record in the 400 m event and theOlympic record in the 200 m event.

Early life

[edit]

Ye Shiwen was born inHangzhou, capital ofZhejiang Province in eastern China. Her father Ye Qingsong was a runner in his youth, and her mother Ning Yiqing, who was a championlong jumper at school, works for a washing machine company.[2] She started swimming at the age of six after her kindergarten teacher noticed she had large hands and feet, joining the Chen Jinglun Sport School in the city.[1][2] She won the 50m freestyle at the 2006 Zhejiang Provincial Games.[3] She was on the provincial swimming team by 2007 and the Chinese national team by 2008,[2] attending the national junior training camp for two months beginning from October of that year.[4]

She trained inBrisbane, Australia with two world-class coaches,Ken Wood and Denis Cotterell, training that Ye described as "really harsh ... but helpful".[5][2][3] Her coach Xu Guoyi stated in 2011 that the training in Australia had helped Ye improve her two weaker swimming strokes, with her strengths being the backstroke and the freestyle.[2]

Asian Games and World Championships

[edit]

Aged just 14, Ye swam 4:33.79 in theWomen's 400m individual medley at the 2010 Asian Games.[6] She swam 2.09.37 in the 200m individual medley (IM),[6] the fastest time in the world for that year,[2] her time for the 400m IM being the second fastest time in the world for that year.[2] At the2011 World Aquatics Championships in Shanghai, Ye beat bothAlicia Coutts andAriana Kukors to win the gold medal in 200m individual medley.[2]

2012 Summer Olympics

[edit]

Women's 400m individual medley

[edit]

At the2012 Summer Olympics, in the third heat of theWomen's 400m individual medley she swam 4:31.73, an improvement of two seconds over her previous best time at the 2010 Asian Games.[7] In the final she won the gold medal and broke the world record (held byStephanie Rice since the 2008 Summer Olympics) with a time of 4:28.43, an improvement of a further three seconds, swimming the last 50m in 28.93 seconds.[8][9] Ye's time over the final 50m was compared to that ofRyan Lochte, the winner of the corresponding men's event, who swam it just under a fifth of a second slower in 29.10. This prompted allegations of doping against Ye. However, commentators pointed out that these two times were misleading. Lochte's overall time was 23.25 seconds faster, 4:05.18, than Ye's, and the times of all eight finalists in the men's 400m IM were at least 10 seconds faster than Ye's time. When Lochte hit the freestyle leg of the race, he had a comfortable lead over his opponents, whereas Ye was still a body length behind U.S. swimmerElizabeth Beisel at that point in her race.[6][10] Phil Lutton, sports editor of theBrisbane Times, observed that Ye "had to hit the burners to motor past Beisel".[6] Data analysis of performances of 2,600 swimmers by twoUniversity of Kansas researchers does not find Ye's improvement unusual.[11]

Although there was speculation regarding Ye's significant improvement over a relatively short time,[12][13] Phil Lutton pointed out that Ye had grown from 160 cm at the time of the 2010 Games to 172 cm at the 2012 Olympics, and that "[t]hat sort of difference in height, length of stroke and size of hand leads to warp-speed improvement".[6] Former Olympic swimming championsIan Thorpe andAdrian Moorhouse said that they had also improved their personal bests due togrowth spurts.[14] TheBritish Olympic Association chairmanColin Moynihan stated in a news conference that Ye had passed drug tests and "deserved recognition for her talent".[10][15][16][17]

Women's 200m individual medley

[edit]

In the200m individual medley final on 31 July 2012, Ye was in third place at the start of the final leg of the race,[18][19] but she again overtook her competitors in the freestyle leg, winning the gold medal with the time 2:07.57, a new Olympic record.[18][19] In preliminary heats she had swum 2:08.90, the same time that she achieved in the 2011 World Championships and her tenth best time of all time, with splits of 28.16, 1:00.54, and 1:38.17.[20]

[edit]

Of her swim, Shiwen stated, "Compared with 200m IM and 200m breaststroke, 400 IM was the weakest part of my events. But it was a good sign that I am a reborn swimmer." (Xinhuanet)[22]
