(TheSportsNext) August 1, 2012: China’s latest Olympic sensation Ye Shiwen
has found inspiration amid all the doping allegations and rumors surrounding
her at the London2012 as she clinched her second gold medal of the Games with
200 meters medley triumph on Tuesday.
Ye Shiwen, who is just 16 years of age, had clinched the 400
meters medley gold medal on Saturday in a world record time which not only put
her in the limelight but also made many others to raise suspicion over her
abilities and allege her of drug use.
However, all the criticism and allegations had little effect
on the Chinese swimming sensation as she shone once again at the Aquatics
Center in London to complete her double in just 2:07.57, which is a new London 2012 Olympics
all time record.
When asked about her reaction to the doping allegations by
the British media the other day, Ye Shiwen stated, "I don't feel upset or
sad about what the media have been saying about me. I feel calm, but it just
encouraged me to prove myself. Of course, I think (the comments) are a bit
unfair towards me, but I am not affected”.
Ye Shiwen answered all the doping scandal-related queries
with absolute confidence and said, “Absolutely not. I do two-and-a half hours
(training) every morning, two-and-a-half hours every afternoon and I have
trained for nine years. I think everyone can achieve their goal. In my mind
everyone can be a genius. I think in other countries people have won multiple
medals and no one says anything about them, so why should they say these things
about me? There is likely to be more good (Chinese) swimmers coming behind me
because others have the same potential that I have." at London 2012!
