Chinese swimmer Fu Yuanhui is known for her intense facial expressions and cheery demeanor.

But after the women's 4x100m medley relay on Sunday, she was in far worse spirits.

Fu was holding her stomach at the time explaining,"because my period came yesterday I am feeling a bit weak. But this is not an excuse".
傅捂着腹部的同时解释说，因为昨天我来月经了，所以感到有点虚弱。但这不应是借口。

尽管这在西方国家看起来不是件大事，但在中国却并非如此，谈论月经被看作是一种禁忌。
Many of her fans back home are commending her bravery and talking openly.
