游泳運動員傅園慧被贊打破禁忌“這是因爲我來例假了”

Chinese swimming sensation Fu Yuanhui has earned plaudits back home for breaking the sporting taboo of discussing menstruation.

中國游泳運動員傅園慧打破了在體育競技中討論月經的禁忌，回國後贏得了喝彩。

Fu, whose theatrical post-race interviews have transformed her into a national hero in China, made her remarks on Sunday after her team came in fourth place in the 4×100m medley relay.

傅的戲劇性賽後採訪在中國已經使她變成了民族英雄,她的團隊在4×100米混合泳中獲得第四位後，週日發表了自己的言論。

"I don't think I performed very well today. I feel I let my teammates down," a visibly pained Fu told state-broadcaster CCTV in a brief poolside conversation following the race.

在一次短暫的泳池邊採訪中被問及剛結束的比賽，傅園慧表情傷心，她告訴中央電視臺"我認爲今天表現不好，感覺讓我的隊友失望了"。

Asked whether she was suffering from stomach pains, the 20-year-old swimmer said her period had started the previous day.

問她是否遭受胃痛,這位20歲的游泳運動員說前一天已經開始了她的例假。

"It's because my period came yesterday, so I felt particularly tired - but this isn't an excuse, I still didn't swim well enough," she said.

她說："這是因爲昨天我的例假到了,所以我感覺特別累,但這不是藉口,我仍然遊的不是足夠好"。

Chinese sports fans used social media to praise Fu for breaking the silence surrounding the menstrual cycles of female athletes. Many said they had not realised it was possible for a woman to swim during her period.

中國運動愛好者使用社會媒體來讚美傅打破了女運動員對於月經週期這一話題的沉寂，許多人說他們沒有意識到，對於一位女性，在月經期也能游泳。

"Our Ms Fu dares to say anything," wrote one user of Weibo, China's Twitter.

中國推特-微博一位用戶寫道："我們的傅女士什麼都敢說"。

"I really admire Fu Yuanhui for swimming while she was on her period - women can be affected during their periods, especially with period pain," wrote another, according to the BBC.

據BBC報道，另外一個博客寫到："我真的非常佩服傅園慧在她生理週期的時候可能還會影響發揮的情況下游泳，特別是還有痛經"。

"She felt guilty for coming fourth, but Fu Yuanhui we're still very proud of you," the fan added.

運動愛好者補充道，"雖然她爲獲得第四感到內疚，但是傅園慧我們仍然爲你驕傲"。

A third fan wrote: "It is a normal physiological phenomenon, so why can't we mention it? Fu Yuanhui is awesome!"

第三個運動愛好者寫道:"這是一種正常的生理現象,爲什麼我們不能提呢?傅園慧是令人敬畏的!"
