SHANGHAI: Liu Qiuping knew that a swimmer she discovered four years ago would one day be an Olympic champion.
Liu Zige won China's first gold medal in the swimming competition yesterday, and also set a new world record for the 200 m butterfly.
Her time of 2 minutes and 4.18 seconds was more than a second faster than Australian Jessicah Schipper's previous record.
