Hagino retired following the Tokyo Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>Hagino won the 200IM ahead of Wang at the <strong>2014 Asian Games<\/strong> before the finishing positions were reversed four years

Zhanle\u2019<\/strong>s 46.97 in the 100 free as real breakthroughs for Asian swimmers.<\/p>\n<p>He told Swimming World:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe biggest highlight for me this week was the 200IM which I used to swim.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo see Wang of China swim 1:54.6 \u2013 that particularly was impressive personally.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I was proud to see him go sub 1:55 after all the years we swam against each other, and I think that\u2019s<\/p>\n<p>probably the biggest highlight of the week for me.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He added:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cRyan\u2019s 1:54.00 is one of the records I used to chase and the fact that it\u2019s been standing for the past 12 years shows how amazing of a feat it is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMarchand becoming the third person to break into the 1:54 mark further shows how talented he is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know how hard it is considering I used to chase that record and to see a fellow Asian swimmer like Wang break into the 54 mark and be the fourth person to do so is astonishing and I am proud of him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo also see an Asian swimmer break into the 46 mark in the 100 free is also mind-blowing.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>China dominated the pool in Hangzhou with 28 golds among a 58-strong medal haul ahead of Republic of Korea, with six golds and 22 medals, and Japan (five golds, 30 medals).<\/p>\n<p>Several young swimmers have shone with several having already enjoyed success on the global stage.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_217506\" style=\"width: 326px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
