'Unbelievable' performance questioned

Synopsis

Welcome back to Olympics Daily at the Olympic Park, where Ben Fenton discusses the ongoing events just three days in. China leads the league table with nine goals, but their success is overshadowed by scrutiny over swimmer Yi's performance. Yi sets a new world record in the 400 meters individual medley, swimming faster than Ryan Lochte, the gold medalist in the men's event. This unprecedented feat raises eyebrows, prompting John Leonard, head of the World Swimming Coaches Association, to describe her performance as 'unbelievable,' hinting at possible cheating without making direct accusations. Despite concerns about infrastructure and crowd sizes in London, the event runs smoothly with fewer spectators than expected, leading to quieter streets around the Olympic Park.
