INCHEON, Korea, September 16. THE start of the swimming competition at the 17^{th<\/sup> Asian Games in Incheon, Korea is less than a\u00a0week away; with the official psych sheets yet to be released, here are five women who could make a major impact at the meet.<\/p>\n}

1. Ye Shiwen, China<\/strong><\/h1>\n

China\u2019s Ye Shiwen, the reigning double Olympic champion and undisputed queen of the individual medley events, will look to add a couple more IM titles to her already impressive resume in Incheon. Ye has already posted some of the fastest times in the 200 IM (2:10.49) and 400 IM (4:30.84) in 2014 and will be looking for world-leading times in those events. She\u2019ll need to be faster than Katinka Hosszu\u2019s 2:08.11 in the 200 and Japan\u2019s Mao Fujita (4:30.47) in the 400 in order to accomplish that. After an off 2013 World Championships in which she failed to medal in either IM event, Ye looks poised to defend her 2010 Asian Games titles in both events, which she won at age 14.<\/p>\n
2. Kanako Watanabe, Japan<\/strong><\/h1>\n $\"Photo$ <\/a>

Kanako Watanabe of Japan could present a threat in multiple individual events, including the 100 and 200 breaststroke and the 200 IM. In the 100 breast, only world record-holder and 2012 Olympic champion Ruta Meilutyte of Lithuania has been faster this year, as Meilutyte posted a 1:05.21 in August and Watanabe swam a 1:05.88 in June. Watanabe also sits second in the world in the 200 breast with a 2:21.09, behind Denmark\u2019s Rikke Moller Pedersen (2:19.61). Japan has a number of 200 breaststrokers who could challenge her, however, including Rie Kaneto (2:21.58) and Mio Motegi (2:23.81). Watanabe ranks 10^{th<\/sup> in the 200 IM this year at 2:10.65, less than two tenths behind Ye Shiwen.<\/p>\n}
3. Shen Duo, China<\/strong><\/h1>\n $\"(140817)$ <\/a>

Shen Duo is the highest-ranked Chinese woman in the world in the 100 and 200 freestyle events, and she could be knocking on the door for some huge performances next week. Her 53.84 in the 100 free ranks 13^{th<\/sup> internationally, while her 200 is eighth at 1:56.12. She has a relatively comfortable cushion over the next-fastest swimmer from Asia in both events, as Japan\u2019s Miki Uchida (54.28) and fellow countrywoman Qu Yuhan (1:56.82) have the closest times to Shen\u2019s in 2014.<\/p>\n}
4. Fu Yuanhui, China<\/strong><\/h1>\n $\"Photo$ <\/a>

Fu Yuanhui hasn\u2019t just been one of the best backstrokers in Asia this year, but one of the best in the world. She owns the top time in the 50 back at 27.51, and the fifth-best 100 back at 59.59, both from Chinese Nationals in May. If she can approach or possibly surpass these times in Incheon, she\u2019ll make a huge impact on China\u2019s medley relay, and in both individual events.<\/p>\n
5. Satomi Suzuki, Japan<\/strong><\/h1>\n $\"Jul$ <\/a>

Japan has serious depth in the women\u2019s breaststroke events, and one swimmer looking for a breakout performance is Satomi Suzuki. Suzuki has solid times across all three distances this year, with a 31.04 in the 50 breast, 1:06.48 in the 100 breast and 2:26.30 in the 200 breast. Her best shot for a medal is definitely in the 100 breast, where she\u2019s put up the fifth-best time of 2014. Japan\u2019s lineup in the 200 breast is particularly stacked, as eight others are ranked ahead of Suzuki in the world rankings this year.<\/p>\n
