Butterfly queen shies from spotlight

What separates Liu Zige from other Chinese swimmers is not only the fact she has broken several world records but also that shuns media attention and commercial activities.

'"I don't like to show off and I don't like to attend too many social engagements," the 20-year-old Beijing Olympic champion said.

Liu's amazing story started at last year's Games where she clocked 2:04.18 to win the gold medal in the 200m butterfly, smashing Australian Jessicah Schipper's world record by more than a second.
