Love this sport, but I would drown
Shiwen shaved more than a second off Australian Stephanie Rice's world record in her win, finishing at 4:28.43. But it was her final 100 meters ? the freestyle leg of the event ? that raised eyebrows. Not only did Shiwen go virtually stroke-for-stroke with Lochte ? who had won gold in the men's 400 IM earlier in the night ? she beat Lochte in the final 50 meters.
Shiwen wasn't among the race favorites, yet she effectively peaked in the 400 IM on the Olympic stage despite never having won the event in a long-course international event. She also had never won a medal at a world championships prior to taking gold in the 200 IM in 2011.
