According to reports on the <a href=\"http:\/\/weibointl.api.weibo.com\/share\/147068396.html?weibo_id=4504937771466850\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chinese social media site Weibo<\/a>, there were some quick times posted at a time trial on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>2019 World Champ\u00a0<strong>Xu Jiayu\u00a0<\/strong>swam a 52.37 in the 100 backstroke, which was quicker than his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/xu-jiayu-wins-stacked-mens-100-back-final-over-rylov-larkin-race-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">52.43 he swam in winning gold<\/a> at the World Championships last year. Xu was one of the favorites to win gold in Tokyo over two laps after he won silver in Rio behind American\u00a0<strong>Ryan Murphy<\/strong>. If Xu Jiayu can touch first in the final in Tokyo, he would be the first Chinese man to ever win the event at the Games and would be the first non-American to do so since 1992.<\/p>\n<p>World junior record holder\u00a0<strong>Yang Junxuan<\/strong> reportedly swam a 1:55.06 in the 200 freestyle, which was also faster than her 1:55.43 swim at the 2019 Worlds when she finished fifth. The time was under her world junior record time but will not count since the meet was not FINA sanctioned.<\/p>\n<p>Also of note, 2019 Worlds bronze medalist\u00a0<strong>Yan Zibei\u00a0<\/strong>swam a 59.5 in the 100 breaststroke while\u00a0<strong>Sun Jiajun\u00a0<\/strong>was a 52.27 in the 100 butterfly. Xu, Yan,\u00a0<strong>Zhang Yufei\u00a0<\/strong>and Yang also combined to swim a mixed medley relay and reportedly swam a 3:40.26, which would have won a bronze medal at the 2019 Worlds. China did not field a team in the mixed relay at the 2019 World Championships, but appears to be a medal contender if they choose to swim in Tokyo.<\/p>\n<p>China was the first country to enter a lockdown in mid-January as the coronavirus was affecting millions of people in the country. The lockdown was lifted towards the end of April and the national swim team got together for a two-month training camp in Zhejiang. According to reports, Olympic medalists\u00a0<strong>Ye Shiwen\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Wang Shun\u00a0<\/strong>are also present at the camp.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/arno-kamminga-goes-59-24-over-100m-breaststroke-in-amsterdam-time-trial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arno Kamminga<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>of the Netherlands, who is also an Olympic podium hopeful, swam a 59.2 in an unofficial time trial on Friday as well.<\/p>\n<div class=\"oembed-wrap\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Chinese National Swimming Team held a test competition inside the team.
