Rising star Tang Qianting (20) smashed her own Asian record in the women’s 50m breaststroke semifinals, clocking an eye-popping 28.95 seconds. The Shanghai speedster, fresh off a Paris Olympics silver medal in the 100m event, dominated from start to finish, teasing a possible world record attempt next. 💨
Not to be outdone, Hubei's Sun Jiajun (a Paris Olympics relay gold medalist) blazed through the men’s 50m breaststroke semifinals in 25.72 seconds, dethroning compatriot Yan Zibei’s Asian record. 🥇
Other highlights? Shandong’s Wang Yichun claimed gold in the 100m butterfly (56.06s), while 17-year-old phenom Chen Lu — already a world youth record holder — snagged silver. Hebei’s Yu Zidi also shone in the 400m individual medley (4:30.21).
