Ye Shiwen sets world medley record at Olympics aged 16
China's Ye Shiwen sets a world record in winning gold in the women's 400m individual medley, while American Elizabeth Beisel takes silver. Her performance was particularly astounding as she completed the final 50 meters faster than the men's gold medalist in the same event, a feat that drew both admiration and some skepticism from around the world. At just 16 years old, Shiwen Ye became one of the breakout stars of the London 2012 Olympics, capturing global attention with her incredible athletic prowess and composure under pressure. The 400m IM is considered one of the most demanding swimming events, requiring mastery of all four strokes: butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle.
