There are very few athletes in the world who manage to change even the rules of their sport. But every time one of them shows up, not even the people in charge of the sport can stop them. This is the story of one of them.

Imagine being a teenager and swimming 5 hours every day. When you turn 15 you finally get to the Olympics. That's already a big accomplishment for most people. But not for you. Coming in 31st only gives you hope to keep trying for 4 more years and try to get to number 1. The coach tells you that you need to swim more. So you start swimming 7 hours a day. Not many people can withstand that physical torture for 4 years. But you survive and you make it to the Beijing Olympics in 2008.
