Congrats to Tao Li !

Hi,

It was so exciting to see her swam her way to the final of the 100M Butterfly swimming event.

Libby Trickett, the eventual Gold winner, has this to say of Tao Li.

"It is amazing achievement for her to qualify for the final, considering this is her first Olympics. ... Sometimes people under-estimate how hard it is to get into the top eight at the Olympics. ....Obviously, she knows how to handle the pressure and she'got a bright future ahead of her."

Well said.... and I am sure we are proud of her achievement eventhough no medal was won.

Also,Tao Li was the youngest and smallest swimmer among the eight finalists. To closk sub-58 seconds timings in three consecutive races is by no means an easy feat.

I salute you, Tao Li, and keep it up....!
