Siobhan Haughey Notches Impressive Victory in 200 Freestyle at Chinese National Games
Forced out of last summer’s World Championships in Singapore due to a back injury, Hong Kong’s Siobhan Haughey put her talent on display during the fourth night of finals at the Chinese National Games. Racing the 200-meter freestyle, the four-time Olympic medalist turned in a time of 1:54.85 to claim victory over Li Bingjie, who finished in second place with a mark of 1:55.67. Placing third was Liu Yaxin in 1:56.01.
Although she was unable to participate in the sport’s most recent global showcase, Haughey has used the Chinese National Games as a launching point toward the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. By dipping under 1:55, she became the fifth athlete this year to crack the barrier. For her career, Haughey owns a two silver medals and a pair of bronze medals from her Olympic appearances.
Just before Haughey earned her win in the 200 freestyle, 18-year-old Zhang Zhanshuo continued his superb meet. Following up on victories in the 200 freestyle and 400 freestyle, Zhang took top honors in the 800 freestyle, where he was timed in 7:46.69. That effort handed him a dominant margin over runnerup Fei Liwei, who touched the wall in 7:51.43.
The men’s 50 breaststroke witnessed an upset as Zheng Yinghao was the winner in 26.97, edging the 27.04 of Yan Zibei. Qin Haiyang was originally third in the event, but was disqualified. Prior to the DQ, Qin posted a time of 27.19, well off the 26.75 he managed during the semifinals. Meanwhile, in the final of the men’s 200 butterfly, Xu Fang registered a convincing triumph as his mark of 1:54.74 was more than a second clear of the 1:56.06 of Wang Xizhe.
In semifinal competition, 13-year-old Yu Zidi cruised to a 2:07.95 performance in the 200 butterfly, good for the top seed. She was followed by veteran Zhang Yufei in 2:08.34. Yu set an Asian record of 2:07.41 in the 200 individual medley earlier in the meet. In the men’s 100 freestyle, world-record holder and Olympic champion Pan Zhanle clocked the fastest time into the final, going 48.13.
Wang Shun, the 2020 Olympic champ in the 200 individual medley, was fastest in the semifinals of his prime event, going 2:00.10, and Wan Letian was tops in the semifinals of the women’s 50 backstroke, thanks to a swim of 27.64.
