World Championships, Day 3 Finals: Tang Qianting Takes Home Wide Open 100 Breast<\/strong><\/p>\n

With just one swimmer retained from last year\u2019s final in the women\u2019s 100 breaststroke, a new face was required to step to the fore in Doha.<\/p>\n

Tang Qianting<\/strong> was the one that raised her hand.<\/p>\n

The Chinese teen secured gold with a time of 1:05.27, a half-second clear of the field. Tang was first at the wall and held off a late charge from Tes Schouten<\/strong> of the Netherlands, who added a silver medal to her recent haul. Siobhan Haughey<\/strong> added a bronze medal, showing her versatility outside the freestyle events.<\/p>\n
