This is Ye Shiwen, and not only did she win a Gold medal in the first day, she also broke a world record! And she is only 16 years old!

Here is a video, it is shocking how far ahead she is.

There was some controversy, because she swam the last half of the race even FASTER than Lochte and Phelps! Who are not only grown men but two of the fastest men in the world!
