Swimming stars made waves this weekend at China's 15th National Games in Shenzhen! Olympic legend Zhang Yufei 🦋 added another gold to Jiangsu's tally with a 25.61-second victory in the women's 50m butterfly – her THIRD medal this year at the quadrennial event.
Hong Kong's Golden Moment
The pool lit up when Ian Ho Yen-tou became the first male swimmer from Hong Kong SAR to claim National Games gold 🥇, blazing through the 50m freestyle in 21.71 seconds – just 0.05 shy of the Asian record! 'This medal belongs to all Hong Kong residents,' said the emotional 22-year-old.
Record Breakers & Repeat Champions
Hebei's Li Bingjie dominated the women's 800m freestyle (8:19.00), completing a 'double treble' after winning both long-distance events at THREE consecutive Games! Meanwhile, Tianjin's Wang Changhao defended his 100m butterfly crown 🏆 with a 51.40-second splash.
With young stars like Zhejiang's Pan Zhanle (19) sharing bronze, these Games prove China's swimming future is brighter than a poolside medal ceremony! 🌟
