The end of the Asian Games has approached us. Japan and China tied atop the leaderboard with 19 gold medals apiece while Japan won 52 total medals to China’s 50.<\/p>\n

Rikako Ikee\u00a0<\/strong>of Japan and\u00a0Kim Seoyeong\u00a0<\/strong>of South Korea each broke Games Records on night six in Jakarta and China’s 4×100 medley relay swam the fastest time in the world for 2018, beating out the Americans and British from earlier in the summer.<\/p>\n

Women’s 50 Free<\/h3>\n

Japan’s\u00a0Rikako Ikee\u00a0<\/strong>may have clinched herself swimmer of the meet honors by taking down world record holder Liu Xiang<\/strong>\u00a0of China\u00a0in the 50 free final.\u00a0<\/strong>Ikee swam a 24.53 to win her sixth gold medal of the meet and eighth medal overall. Ikee was also slightly faster than what she swam at Pan Pacs earlier in the month.<\/p>\n

Liu finished with the silver at 24.60 while China’s\u00a0Wu Qingfeng\u00a0<\/strong>(24.87) finished with the bronze medal.<\/p>\n

Both Ikee and Liu were off their country’s national records that they hold.<\/p>\n

Japan’s\u00a0Mayuka Yamamoto\u00a0<\/strong>(25.45), Singapore’s\u00a0Amanda Lim\u00a0<\/strong>(25.47),\u00a0Ting Quah\u00a0<\/strong>(25.48), Korea’s\u00a0Kim Minju\u00a0<\/strong>(25.81) and Hong Kong’s\u00a0Stephanie Au\u00a0<\/strong>(25.86) also swam in the final.<\/p>\n

      Men’s 50 Breast<\/h3>\n

      Japan’s\u00a0Yasuhiro Koseki\u00a0<\/strong>proved he is still one of the best breaststrokers in the world with his 50 breast gold medal on Friday night at the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta. Koseki swam a 27.07, slightly slower than\u00a0Yan Zibei’s\u00a0<\/strong>Games Record of 27.06 from the prelims.<\/p>\n

      Koseki already won gold medals this week in the 100<\/a> and 200 breast<\/a>, and he just completed the hat trick with a gold here in the 50.<\/p>\n

      Koseki is also the first Japanese swimmer to win the 50 breast at the Asian Games. Kazakhstan has the most gold medals in the event with\u00a0Vlad Polyakov\u00a0<\/strong>(2006) and Balandin (2014) winning two of the three gold medals.<\/p>\n

      Koseki finished ahead of Yan (27.25) and\u00a0Dmitriy Balandin\u00a0<\/strong>(27.46) in the final as it was a much slower pace than it was in the heats.<\/p>\n

      China’s\u00a0Sun Jiajun\u00a0<\/strong>(27.65), Uzbekistan’s\u00a0Vladislav Mustafin\u00a0<\/strong>(27.72), Macau’s\u00a0Chao Man Hou\u00a0<\/strong>(27.91), India’s\u00a0Sandeep Sejwal\u00a0<\/strong>(27.98) and Japan’s\u00a0Daiya Seto\u00a0<\/strong>(28.00) also swam in the final.<\/p>\n

        Women’s 400 Free<\/h3>\n

        China’s\u00a0Wang Jianjiahe\u00a0<\/strong>clinched the distance hat trick with a gold medal and new Asian Games Record of 4:03.18. Wang already claimed gold medals this week in the\u00a0800<\/a>\u00a0and 1500 free<\/a> finals and she won her fourth gold medal of the meet in the 400, adding to her gold in the 4×200 free relay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

        Wang finished three full seconds ahead of teammate\u00a0Li Bingjie\u00a0<\/strong>(4:06.46) who won the silver medal. Li was well off her 4:01 she swam last summer that still stands as the Asian Record. Both Wang and Li are 16-years-old.<\/p>\n

        Wang moved up to third in this year’s Virtual World Championships after all the major international meets this summer. Wang has a ways to go to catch American\u00a0Katie Ledecky\u00a0<\/strong>and Australian\u00a0Ariarne Titmus\u00a0<\/strong>but she is still only 16 so she has room to grow.<\/p>\n

        Japan’s\u00a0Chihiro Igarashi\u00a0<\/strong>(4:08.48) won the bronze medal for her fourth total medal of the meet.<\/p>\n

            Men’s 1500 Free<\/h3>\n

            It was not as fast as it has been in the past, but China’s\u00a0Sun Yang\u00a0<\/strong>won his third straight gold medal in the 1500 at the Asian Games, just dipping under 15 minutes with a 14:58.53. Sun is well off his Games Record of 14:35 from 2010, and even further from his world record of 14:31 from 2012. Sun is 26, and with the addition of the 800 to the Olympic schedule,\u00a0Sun has hinted<\/a>\u00a0at dropping the 1500 for the 800 by 2020.<\/p>\n

            He was in a race with Vietnam’s\u00a0Huy Nguyen<\/strong>, but Sun pulled away for the gold. Nguyen will get the silver at 15:01.63, winning Vietnam’s third medal in swimming at the Asian Games, and their first silver. It is also their first medal in men’s swimming at the Games.<\/p>\n

            China’s\u00a0Ji Xinjie\u00a0<\/strong>(15:06.18) finished with the bronze medal.<\/p>\n

                Women’s 200 IM<\/h3>\n

                In a battle of the two fastest swimmers in the world for 2018, it was Korea’s\u00a0Kim Seoyeong\u00a0<\/strong>who broke the Games Record with a 2:08.34 for the gold medal in the 200 IM on the last night of the 2018 Asian Games. Kim finished ahead of\u00a0Yui Ohashi\u00a0<\/strong>of Japan who was the silver medalist at 2:08.88. Ohashi swam faster at Pan Pacs with a 2:08.16, so she will hold on to the “virtual gold medal” from the Virtual World Championships.<\/p>\n

                Ohashi and Kim were the only swimmers to break 2:09 at a major meet this summer.<\/p>\n

                Japan’s\u00a0Miho Teramura\u00a0<\/strong>won the bronze medal with a 2:10.98 as she added a second from her Pan Pac time that was a 2:09.86 earlier this month.<\/p>\n

                China’s\u00a0Zhou Min\u00a0<\/strong>(2:11.42) finished off the podium in fourth place.<\/p>\n

                Kim is the first Korean gold medalist in this event since 1982 when\u00a0Choi Yun-Hui\u00a0<\/strong>won the gold medal. It is also Korea’s 22nd gold medal in swimming at the Asian Games.<\/p>\n

                    The Chinese men closed out the Asian Games with an exclamation point as they went toe to toe with Japan in the final of the men’s 4×100 medley relay as they swam the two fastest times in the world this year.\u00a0Xu Jiayu\u00a0<\/strong>(52.60),\u00a0Yan Zibei\u00a0<\/strong>(58.86),\u00a0Li Zhuhao\u00a0<\/strong>(50.61) and\u00a0Yu Hexin\u00a0<\/strong>(47.92) clinched the gold for China with a 3:29.99 which was faster than the United States and Great Britain did to win their respective championships.<\/p>\n

                    It was not easy though as Japan finished in a fighting battle with the silver at 3:30.03.\u00a0Ryosuke Irie\u00a0<\/strong>(52.53),\u00a0Yasuhiro Koseki\u00a0<\/strong>(58.45),\u00a0Yuki Kobori\u00a0<\/strong>(51.06) and\u00a0Shinri Shioura\u00a0<\/strong>(47.99) had the second fastest time in the world this year, lowering their time from Pan Pacs when they finished second to the Americans.<\/p>\n

                    Kazakhstan won the bronze with a 3:35.62 thanks to a stellar breaststroke leg from\u00a0Dmitriy Balandin\u00a0<\/strong>(58.88).<\/p>\n
