Chinese swimmers added two more golds to their tally to take the overall lead, Yu Hexin was the winner of the men’s 50m fly in 23.69 and the Chinese team won the women’s 4x100m freestyle relay. Egypt’s Ahmed Akram put his country on the board here in Nanjing with a win in the 800m freestyle.
A small correction: Egypt’s Ahmed Akram, not Ahmed Khan. Thank you. 😀
