China's National Spring Swimming Championships ended with a splash as 18-year-old Zhang Zhanshuo dominated the pool, securing his fourth gold medal in Qingdao. The young phenom from Shandong clinched victory in the men's 400-meter individual medley with a blazing time of 4:13.40, adding to his earlier wins in the 1500m freestyle, 200m butterfly, and 400m medley. 🌟
Meanwhile, Wang Yichun surged to gold in the women's 100m butterfly (57.38s), while Olympic champion Zhang Yufei, still shaking off rust after a six-month break, took fifth. 'This is my baseline,' Zhang Yufei vowed, teasing bigger comebacks ahead. 💪
Veteran swimmer Ye Shiwen, 29, proved age is just a number, snagging the women's 100m breaststroke title (1:07.81) and smashing personal bests in the 100m backstroke prelims. Talk about leveling up! 🚀
