CHINESE teenage wonder Ye Shiwen's amazing world-record finish to her 400-meter medley win was the talk of the Olympics yesterday with American Ryan Lochte saluting her performance.
Closer inspection of the lap splits revealed that Ye actually swam faster in the final 50m lap than in Lochte's victory in the men's 400 medley a few events before.
Ye clocked 28.93 seconds for the last 50m compared to Lochte's 29.10 while she wasn't far off the American's time for the last 100m - 58.68 compared to 58.65.
"We were all talking about it last night at dinner, it is pretty impressive," Lochte said. "She's fast, if she was there with me, maybe she would have beaten me."
