Women's 400m Individual Medley Finals

Another gold for China in one night!

Gold: Ye Shiwen (Chn)
Silver: Elizabeth Biesel (Usa)
Bronze: Hao (Chn)

2008's defending champion Stephanie Rice is in the game as well, but the spotlight was on Elizabeth Biesel, who's the dark horse of the game. Biesel led the way at first, but like Sun Yang before her, Ye Shiwen shot up at the last 100m. She waited and waited to pounce on the finish line and was 3 body lengths ahead of Biesel. What a feat. I am forever amazed by their incredible ability to shine under immense pressure. Only 16 years of age, Ye Shiwen

first Asian Games champion
now Olympic Games champion
& World Record holder!

And she's the first that broke WR in this year's games. :) Go girl!
