The 18-year-old Tang Yi is called "Flying Fish" in China. She broke the Universiade record of the women's 100m freestyle and the women's 4x100 relay. It may be difficult for the girl individually to win medals at the London Olympics, but she might claim one in relay.

About Shenzhen

Shenzhen is located at the southern tip of the Chinese mainland on the eastern bank of the mouth of the Pearl River and neighbors Hong Kong.

The brainchild of Deng Xiaoping, the country's first special economic zone was established here by the Chinese Government in 1980. It has been a touchstone for China's reform and opening-up policy since then.
