Ye Shiwen, who swept the 2012 Olympic individual medleys at age 16 with eye-popping times, is not on China’s Olympic swimming roster.
Ye was not one of the 19 women named to the team on Tuesday, according to this release.
At the 2012 London Games, Ye shattered the women’s 400m IM world record by 1.02 seconds, swimming the final 50 meters faster than Ryan Lochte did to win the men’s 400m IM. She later broke the Olympic record in the 200m IM.
Ye struggled since, but came back to take silver medals in both IMs at the 2019 World Championships behind Hungarian Katinka Hosszu.
