Ye Shiwen, 16 years old, china, faster than Ryan Lochte

In the final of the 400 meters individual medley, Ye set a new world record of 4:28.43 and finishing the race stunned those who witnessed it: 28.93s in the last 50 meters faster than the U.S. 29.10s Lochte in the final of men of the same race.

Never before in the history of the Olympic Games, a woman had been in earlier in the flight of any distance that the male winner of the race equivalent.

But this same information can be interpreted differently by adding the missing data, that Lochte time for the 400m was 4:05.18, and in the last 50 meters decreased performance, letting the world record seemed to be easily at your fingertips.
