SHAOXING, China, April 8. ZHANG Lin continued his strong outing at the Chinese National Long Course Championships held in Shaoxing, China with another Chinese record.
In the men's 200 free, Zhang clocked a time of 1:45.83 to break the Chinese record and become the first man from China under 1:46. The swim broke his previous standard of 1:46.13 set at the Beijing Olympics, but is well behind Tae Hwan Park's Asian record of 1:44.85 from the same competition.
"Right now, I'm training at a steady level, but as the Rome World Championships approach, I will focus more on the races where I will have the best chance to win a world title," Zhang said to Chinese Swimming officials in a rough translation.
In the women's 100 back, Zhao Jing posted a time of 59.62, just missing her Chinese record of 59.56 set at the Beijing Olympics.
Meanwhile, Qi Hui posted a time of 1:06.85 in the women's 100 breast, just missing Luo Xuejuan's Chinese record of 1:06.64 set at the Athens Olympics. Cheng Feiyi wrapped up the men's 100 back title in 54.99.
