懷疑葉詩文的理論基礎 _ 主場新聞

前身是《信報》孔少林之一，起初寫時事評論，後來「被轉型」寫足球。普通人一個，三個孩子之父，既非專業作家，更非運動員。寫體育文章的信念和膽量，來自「食神」的「老竇老母、阿哥細佬、條仔條女，只要用心，人人都可以係食神」，和孔少林的「我們都是原復生，你也可以孔少林」。

懷疑葉詩服藥的文章之中，這是我至今讀過最有理論基礎的一篇。作者是運動生理學博士。

重點包括：
1）Ryan Lochte的自由式時間一點不賴，所以葉的最後一段成績的確異常出色；

2）葉的最後一段時間，比起以100米自由式專項的頂尖女選手，也是極之快：

So the sport shows that you have a normal pattern, a typical ratio of medley freestyle to best freestyle — they SHOULD BE between 18 and 23% slower at the end of a 400m IM than in a 100m freestyle by itself.
Yet Shiwen is not. She does a 58.68s final leg, which is only about 10% off the best 100m freestyle swimmers. The conclusion that I would draw from this is that her 100m freestyle leg is disproportionately fast not only by comparison to Lochte, but also to her peers, and to the best 100m freestyle swimmers.

3）她最後的爆發速度，意味她前段「大把有剩」，即是她有餘力可以游得更快！

The fact that Shiwen could close as fast as Lochte suggests to me that her efforts over the first 300m of that final took very little out of her.
If that is true, then her overall performance is a significant underperformance. The allocation of energy over the course of the race might be debated, but what physiology suggests is that it should probably be more even for Shiwen, and it would allow her to swim quite a lot faster than the 4:28.43 that she did.
Scary thought then that there is a "reserve" there that would see her get even better.
