Chinese swimmer Lu Ying, fresh from winning a silver medal in the women's 100 metre butterfly, spoke out after the race against the Chinese training system, in a rare display of criticism from one of the country's athletes.
Lu, who went to Australia to train in 2008, criticised the tough Chinese training regime, saying it did not offer enough chance for athletes to enjoy themselves in other ways.
"In China we're used to study, study and train, train and then rest," she said via an interpreter at a press conference following her race on Sunday.
"I think our way of thinking has many limits. In Australia I've been invited to barbecues with my teammates - that would never happen in China."
Athletes in other countries were not afraid to have fun as well as train, said 23-year-old Lu, whereas coaches in China would insist that athletes train and then rest and stay focussed on the competition.
