At the age of 16, Miss Ye had just stunned spectators at the Olympic pool by swimming the final freestyle 50m of the 400m individual medley in 28.93seconds.
'No coach that I spoke to yesterday could ever recall seeing anything remotely like that in a world level competition,' Leonard told the Guardian.
Not only was her swim faster than the 27-year-old American Ryan Lochte had managed minutes earlier to win his gold in the men’s version of the same event, it was part of an overall time a whole five seconds quicker than her previous best.

I have to say, there are some sports out there that are less than Olympian in nature. 15k walk or whatever it is, are you serious?
