She broke the Olympic record at the age of 16, but was vilified by the Western media for taking drugs. At the age of 17, she swept the swimming world and became China's first Grand Slam winner. However, after her spirits, she was eclipsed. Nine years later, at the age of 27, she won the Asian Games gold medal again. She is a genius girl, Ye Shiwen.
In 2012, 16-year-old Ye Shiwen made history at the London Olympics, where she won gold in the 200-meter medley with an Olympic record-breaking result. However, after this amazing performance, the Western media began to question whether she used drugs. But any denigration of the strong is just a disguise for the weak to cover up their baseness of self-esteem.
After refuting the rumors in front of the president of the London Olympic Association, Ye Shiwen finally got back his own praise. She was then crowned the 200m medley champion at the 2013 Liaoning National Games with a time of 2:09.28. So far, Ye Shiwen became the first person in Chinese swimming to win a gold medal in the 200-meter medley, and she also became a gold slam winner.
But the pressure of becoming famous at a young age made the girl lose her way. The obsession of "holding the gold medal" and "absolutely not losing" became her inner demons and eventually destroyed her psychological defenses. Therefore, she chose to leave the pool temporarily and go to the campus to get away from the strife in the pool.
Here, the busy academic process freed Ye Shiwen from the anxiety of victory and defeat, and she jumped out of the pool to re-examine her life. Between the transitions, she suddenly became cheerful. No matter what kind of results she has achieved, she has to let go of her aura and become an ordinary person. Her gaze was always looking ahead. Therefore, with her love for the pool, Ye Shiwen chose to make a comeback.
In 2023, the 27-year-old Ye Shiwen once again stood on the stage of the 200-meter breaststroke final, and finally won the Asian Games championship again with a time of 2:23.84. When Ye Shiwen took off her swimming goggles and slammed the surface of the water, the pressure and emotions of the past were released at this moment, and she successfully crossed Wanzhong Mountain. The genius girl Ye Shiwen is back.
She washed away the lead and was born again.
