China&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Liu Xiang<\/strong>, no relation to the sprint hurdler from the mid-2000&#8217;s, broke another super suit world record in the 50 backstroke, touching in a 26.98. Liu broke the world record of countrywoman\u00a0<strong>Zhao Jing\u00a0<\/strong>of 27.06 from the Rome World Championships.<\/p>\n<p>Liu finished ahead of fellow Chinese swimmer\u00a0<strong>Fu Yuanhui<\/strong>, who many expected would be the first to break the world record after she had been close to it the last few years, including posting a 27.16 earlier this year. But it was Liu who will keep the world record in the Chinese family.<\/p>\n<p>Japan&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Natsumi Sakai\u00a0<\/strong>won the bronze medal with a 27.91 while Fu took home the silver at 27.68.<\/p>\n<p>This marks the seventh world record of 2018 in long course swimming. This leaves just three world records on the women&#8217;s side since 2009 with\u00a0<strong>Liu Zige&#8217;s\u00a0<\/strong>200 fly,\u00a0<strong>Federica Pellegrini&#8217;s\u00a0<\/strong>200 free and China&#8217;s 4&#215;200 free relay.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Zhao&#8217;s world record had stood since 2009 after it got exchanged a number of times earlier in the summer. Liu also becomes the third Chinese swimmer to hold the world record after Zhao and\u00a0<strong>Li Yang<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Yst5CEKyhbI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>World Record Progression:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em><strong>Liu Xiang<\/strong>, CHN, 26.98 (2018)<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Zhao Jing<\/strong>, CHN, 27.06 (2009)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Anastasia Zueva<\/strong> (sf), RUS, 27.38 (2009)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/passages-world-championship-silver-medalist-daniela-samulski-33\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Daniela Samulski\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>(sf), GER, 27.39 (2009)<\/li>\n<li>Samulski, GER, 27.61 (2009)<\/li>\n<li>Zhao, CHN, 27.67 (2009)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sophie Edington<\/strong>, AUS, 27.67 (2008)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Emily Seebohm\u00a0<\/strong>(sf), AUS, 27.95 (2008)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hayley McGregory<\/strong>, USA, 28.00 (2008)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Li Yang<\/strong>, CHN, 28.09 (2007)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>All-Time Rankings:<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em><strong>Liu Xiang<\/strong>, CHN, 26.98 (2018)<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Zhao Jing<\/strong>, CHN, 27.06 (2009)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fu Yuanhui<\/strong>, CHN, 27.11 (2015)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Etiene Medeiros<\/strong>, BRA, 27.14 (2017)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Georgia<\/strong> <strong>Davies<\/strong>, GBR, 27.21 (2018)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Daniela Samulski<\/strong>, GER, 27.23 (2009)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Aliaksandra Herasimenia<\/strong>, BLR, 27.23 (2017)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Anastasia Fesikova<\/strong>, RUS, 27.23 (2018)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Race Results:<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Liu Xiang<\/strong>, CHN, 26.98, WORLD RECORD<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fu Yuanhui<\/strong>, CHN, 27.68<\/li>\n<li><strong>Natsumi Sakai,<\/strong>\u00a0JPN, 27.91<\/li>\n<li><strong>Anna Konishi<\/strong>, JPN, 28.37<\/li>\n<li><strong>Park Hanbyeol<\/strong>, KOR, 28.39<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stephanie Au<\/strong>, HKG, 28.70<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shin Youngyeon<\/strong>, KOR, 28.85<\/li>\n<li><strong>Kwan To Wong<\/strong>, HKG, 29.02<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">OLD WORLD RECORD:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EqynF7A7BWk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The third night of finals from the 2018 Asian Games got off to a rousing start as the first world record from the swimming pool fell on Tuesday night in<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":217456,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,10],"tags":[65553,53533,36848,10066,42939,70376,44213,42742,70375,65346],"class_list":["post-326354","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-world","tag-2018-asian-games","tag-anastasia-fesikova","tag-anastasia-zueva","tag-daniela-samulski","tag-fu-yuanhui","tag-li-yang","tag-liu-xiang","tag-natsumi-sakai","tag-yang-li","tag-zhao-jing"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>RACE VIDEO: Liu Xiang Takes Down 50 Back World Record At Asian Games;
