Born in Hangzhou, [[Zhejiang Province]] on Mar 1, 1996, this 16 year-old girl is the youngest swimming champion since 1978. <br />

Ye started training at the age of 6. Her former trainer Wei Wei trusted that she belonged to the sport at her first glance. "She is unique and her movement ability is very strong. Her hands and feet are much larger than other kids at her age, which is a great natural advantage," Wei Wei said. After five years learning, Ye became a versatile swimmer competent in all four major swimming strokes. <br />

"Although she is a young girl, Ye is eager to excel. No matter how much practice you make her do, she will finish it," Wei Wei said.<br />
<br />
In 2006, the 10-year-old Ye won the 50m freestyle at the Zhejiang Games. In September 2007, she joined the Zhejiang Provincial Swimming Team. <br />
<br />
In 2008, she entered the national swimming team. In April of 2010, she won the 200 m individual medley at the national championships in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province. This was her first national competition. <br />

In 2010 at the FINA Swimming World Cup (Beijing Leg), she won three golds, including the 200 m individual medley, 400 m individual medley and 100 m freestyle.<br />
