Shiwen Ye: 'There is room for improvement'

China's Shiwen Ye insists that the best from her is yet to come after securing the gold medal in the women's 400m individual medley.

China's Shiwen Ye has insisted that the best from her is yet to come after securing the gold medal in the women's 400m individual medley.

The 16-year-old, who is also through to the semi-finals of the 200m event, is targeting improvement in breaststroke and freestyle.

She said: "There's much room for improvement. It's true for breaststroke I am lagging behind but I think my freestyle result is also not that good.

"Usually I'm very bad at turning. This is one of my worst basic skills, but turning is a very important skill, therefore I was practising my turns before the competition."

Ye, who smashed the world record in the 400m with a finish time of 4:28.43, is in action in the 200m semi-finals at 8.55pm this evening.
