has any one got a link to actual footage of the 16 year old Chinese swimmer that shaved 5 seconds of her own record..it seems to have disappeared of you tube.
plenty of controversy regarding this girl.

Didn't see her at all. What is the controversy about her? Just the speed or what?

USA = bad losers.... The only controversy is that a rival coach should make an unfounded accusation. If there is evidence of wrong doing by all means investigate and comment on that but just to point fingers at an outstanding performance is in itself unsporting.

Ah, I think I know the one you mean. I saw a repeat yesterday evening about swimmers and the English commentator made some reference to the fact that she was small but had such large hands and feet for her size, both of which are benefits to swimmers.

Good one Soner...the USA coach says it was impossible to swim like that..they said she swam like super girl...however there was a program on radio 2 yesterday..very interesting listening regarding the subject..she was tested and no bad results came back so far, fair enough........
