Chinese breaststroker Qin Haiyang finished well under his own World Junior Record in the men’s 200 breast final at the China National Games in Tanjim.
Qin came in at 2:07.35, more than two seconds quicker than his previous mark of 2:09.39 from the World Championships in July. That mark made him the ninth-fastest performer in history in the event and the fourth-fastest man this year.
He would have won a bronze medal at Worlds with that effort, while Qin actually did not make the final at Worlds, finishing 15th after setting his previous WJR in prelims.
