Debate Over Chinese Swimmer Turns Testy in Asia

Why no analysis her form? Her freestyle stroke is powerful with no wasted
side to side motion. In the medley she only broke away in the last freestyle
laps, the same stroke that produced her first medal. Are the doubters
missing other potential explanations?

Previous WR holder Stephanie Rice swam a personal best of 4:40:79 in June
2007. Less than 6 months later she "smashed" her personal best by 3.61
second by swimming 4:37:18. 6 months after that she again "smashed" her
personal best by 6:06 seconds and set a new WR of 4:31:12 at the Australian
Olympic Trials.
With a little rough math... she improved by more than 9 seconds to WR
setting time in 12 months. 9 sec/yr.
Shiwen's previous personal best was set when she was 14, 2 years prior. To
increase by 5 seconds in 2 years is nothing in comparison... just 2.5 sec/yr.

It seems more couches, swimmers and IOC are taking her side now and yet you
are still presenting one-sided negative account of her performance. Why don'
t you investigate the following:
1. Is it fair to compare swimmers' splits when they have different competing
stylea? Why isn't it possible for a woman great at freestyle, reserving her
energy at the beginning and fighting for her medal to outperform - in the
last 25M - a male swimmer not great at freestyle, more aggressive in the
first 3/4 of the race, and swimming sluggishly toward the end? Such
comparison would often be said as comparing apples with oranges. Why does
the swimming world like to do it?
不停有人说她游得比男的快，我只想说男的干嘛不游快点？
