CHINESE(SUPER WOMAN) 16 yr old Shiwen (Swimmer)

LONDON — Questions ranging from doping to genetic manipulation are emerging in the wake of Chinese swimmer Ye Shiwen’s record-breaking performances.

When asked if the attention and suspicion are affecting her, Shiwen insisted she was focused on her lane and her times.
“There’s absolutely no problem with doping,” she said through a translator. “The Chinese team has always had a firm policy about antidoping.”
Shiwen, 16, won the gold medal and smashed the world record in the 400-meter Individual Medley and set an Olympic record in the women’s 200-meter Individual Medley on Monday. She left the Aquatic Centre abuzz with her increasingly impressive times

Leonard added that Shiwen looked like “superwoman,” and she has posted times tantamount to going stroke for stroke with American stars Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps. For 50 meters, she swam faster than Lochte earlier in the meet and set the Olympic record by touching the wall in 2 minutes, 08.39 seconds.
