Qin Haiyang Demolishes Own World Junior Record in 200 Breast

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.
