Happy to see YOG alum Zavadova (Cze) in the heats. Ye Shiwen finished fastest yet again in the heats. Really don't know what goes on in this young olympian's head. She just handles everything so well. Notice how swimmers from the same country tend to have almost the same timings. Must have been trained under the same coach. :))
