A Dedication To Le Jing Yi 
(Poem from Muzi Net)
Millions of anxious faces stared at the screen 
Countless of hearts beated with rythm 
Innumerable pairs of eyes peeled with anxiety written 
all over different 
faces were hypnotised 
They Watched 
They Saw 
They Anticipated 
A winner swimming steadily but surely 
To her deserved victory but definitely 
It seems so fast to imagine but truthfully 
That a human would ever accomplish such a feat 
Other than Le Jing Yi 
Who has done China extreme proud 
With this marvellous magnificent achievement 
With this medal of the century 
With such grace 
She swam 
She won 

She has done it
