The 2019 Chinese National Swimming Championships continued on Friday from Anshan City as the Chinese Swimming Federation is simulating an eight day meet with morning finals to get the athletes prepared for the same conditions at the 2020 Olympic Games.<\/p>\n
Many of China’s best swimmers are in attendance at the meet but the competition is notably missing Sun Yang<\/strong>, who is due to attend a Court of Arbitration for Sport next month\u00a0after a challenge from the\u00a0World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>to a FINA Doping Panel decision to issue the swimmer with a severe caution but let him go penalty free after a contested visit by out-of-competition testers ended in acrimony.<\/p>\n Zhang Yufei\u00a0<\/strong>won the 100 fly with a 57.82 as she was slightly off her season best of 57.41 from the FINA World Cup in China after the World Championships. She was faster here than what she swam at Worlds when she was a 57.9 and didn’t make it out of the semi finals. Zhang is more known as a 200 butterflyer where she won the bronze at the 2015 Worlds in the event, but she did not make it out of the heats at the Worlds this past summer.<\/p>\n Zhang won ahead of\u00a0Wang Yichun\u00a0<\/strong>(58.62) and\u00a0Chen Xinyi\u00a0<\/strong>(58.73), who appears to be back after serving a suspension<\/a> for failing a drug test<\/a> during the Olympics.<\/p>\nWomen’s 100 Fly<\/h3>\n
