Just a few months ago, Jianjiahe Wang of China set a World Junior Record in the 800m freestyle at the Doha stop of the World Cup Circuit. Yesterday, Wang secured another WJR in the 400m freestyle by swimming a 3:59.69, securing her spot as the first junior swimmer to ever break 4:00. Today, Wang lowered her own 800m freestyle WJR from an 8:15.35 to an 8:12.30.
This swim marks the third instance Wang has either set or broken a WJR.
