「奧林匹克冠軍葉詩文說,她非同尋常的游泳(成績)是 ' 艱苦的工作和培訓' 的結果」,記者戴維 · 瓊斯(David Jones)2012 年 7 月 31 日在英國報刊上這樣採寫了其採訪報告的第一段。
瓊斯的採訪報告題名為「鍛造美人魚的神話: 中國兒童遠離家庭擠上未來奧運選手之路」。
報告的內容無非是過細地描寫了中國的游泳等選手在驚人的勝利之前,於各地的兒童體育學校接受如何嚴格無情的培訓情況。報告還刊發了「美人魚」葉詩文出身母校的圖片、奪銅后累癱倒地不起的中國選手孫楊的體校照片。
我在瓊斯的採訪報告發表的當天就發現已經有79篇英國讀者的讀後評論,且把這些評論中最前面的極少數原文附在文後供一閱。

..Is this why golf was won at all costs? You'd be frightened to go home with anything else wouldn't you?

.Typical West, get over it.
.Kora, she did not outswim the male world record. She was 20 seconds slower than Lochte when he swam, it's just her last 50m were faster than his.

.Why are we so interested in China and their methods of Olympian success ? We are just as guilty of creating sports cheats and methods of training that do not meet what would be accepted as fairness in a sporting sense.We analyse EVERYTHING these days AND IT CAN NO LONGER BE CLASSIFIED AS SPORT.

.We may not agree with how they do their training, but of that's how they do it in their country, then we should mind our own business. (isn't that what we'd say if they commented on the way our sports people train) I went to Russia to train in ice skating when I was ten, and yes it was harder and stricter than I was used to, but it improved my technique. Red arrow if you want, but of you don't like the Olympics, then don't watch!

.I would think that genetic therapy and other techniques will be used that are completely undetectable. If they held a DNA sample on record, they could complare it with the new sample..IF THEY HAVE ONE. I am more interested in the massive acceleration at the end of the swim...it's not the normal way of doing things is it...

.If Britain and USA were the ones winning absolutely eveything none would say anything bad about the chinese. No one would care.

.The difference between China and us is that they don't embrace failure as we unfortunately like to do. I highly doubt any of these kids will grow up to be thieves or go round stabbing each other like SOME uk youths do. And I bet they don't complain that 'they are bored and have nothing to do' and are therefore owed youth clubs and play stations!

.This is pathetic from DM, sinking to a new low.
