Nothing too crazy transpired on the final night of action at the 2024 Chinese National Summer Championships.
Without Olympic medalist Zhang Yufei in the water, it was Zhou Xuchi who claimed gold in the women’s 100m butterfly. Zhou hit a time of 59.74 to claim the top spot.
On the men’s side, it was Shen Jiahao who got it done for gold, posting 52.08 as the victor. That ties Lin Lejun as the 9th-fastest 100m butterflier in Chinese history.
Liu Wudi bagged a time of 48.48 to top the men’s 100m free field, registering a new lifetime best en route to topping the podium.
Entering this competition, Liu’s career-quickest rested at the 48.54 notched at this year’s Olympic Trials. Shaving .06 off that result, Liu remains China’s 9th-fastest performer ever.
Additional Winners
- The men’s 1500m free saw Zhang Zhongxin get to the wall first, posting 15:21.54 for the gold.
- Yang Wenwen clocked a time of 55.36 to claim gold in the women’s 100m free.
- Wang Gukailai hit a result of 1:59.64 to top the men’s 200m back podium.
- She Jingjing logged 2:11.28 as the swiftest women’s 200m backstroke competitor.
Liu Wudi who is a teenager to bolster their relay team ?
Don’t know much about him but I wish they had taken him for the Olympic relay! A team of Pan/Chen/Liu/Wang sounds like the right mix for a medal-contending relay for the coming Olympic cycle.
