Just one day of the 2024 Chinese Short Course Championships unfolded but already we’ve seen a new national and continental record bite the dust.
Racing in the semi-final of the men’s 50m butterfly, 24-year-old Sun Jiajun fired off a time of 21.97 to beat the competition en route to touching first.
The next in line was Shen Jiahao nearly a second back in 22.87 while Wu Shengkai claimed the 3rd seed for tomorrow night’s main event in 22.89.
Entering these championships, Sun’s lifetime best rested at the 22.63 turned in during the semi-final of the men’s 50m fly at the 2021 World Championships. That mark represented the Chinese national record and rendered Sun 11th overall in Abu Dhabi.
Tonight’s performance hacked over half a second off that previous mark to make Sun the first-ever man from China to dip under the 22-second barrier in the event.
Additionally, he’s the first-ever Asian man to dip under the 22-second threshold, as the former Asian continental standard stood at the 22.01 Singapore’s Teong Tzen Wei registered first in the 50m fly heats then again in the final at last year’s Short Course Championships in Melbourne, Australia.
According to the World Aquatics results database, Sun’s 21.97 now ranks him the 7th-swiftest SCM 50 fly performer in history.

2 more asian records today: sun jiajun 21.96, tang qiantang 1:02.66 100 breast
That puts her 4th all time, was it a semi or a final?
Semifinals, tomorrow night is the final.
That was good, but the guy who went 23 in a Star Wars cap is the real gangster imo
His condition has been goood since after the olympics! Excited for him
Those Olympic golds are the best motivator
Indeed and having Pan as a teammate ain’t bad either in inspiration.
Nice Sun is improving on his PBs.
He was so emotional after the 4x100m medley race, he couldn’t speak. From what I could understand, he was feeling bad that he was the weak link. In fact, he actually improved on the butterfly prelimin swimmer, so he held his own.
Meanwhile his other teammates (including Qin) were lamenting that they could have done better, as well. Pan, of course, put a stop to all that second-guessing when he reminded them that the race was over and they won. (Done deal.) The ones who should be dissatisfied are the others [without the gold medal].

Ok dang that’s good
SHEEESH
Wait… isn’t this dude a breaststroker?
He was the butterfly leg of China’s medley relay winning team in Paris.
He’s swimming medley
Michael Andrew semi 2.0
BETTER than Michael andrew
Pretty sure dudes a 58.9 100 breaststroker
He turned to butterfly due to injury, but still swam breaststroke
Move over sprint revolution, we have a literal full circle going on here
He debuted as a breaststroker, and started training butterfly after a knee surgery back 2021. Now he does both. He’s still competitive in breaststroke and comes close to China’s no.1 breaststroker Qin.
he is no.2 100 breaststroke and no.2 100 butterfly for china
He’s both. Fun fact is that he also won 3rd in the 50m LCM breaststroke in Fukuoka at world champs!
Team China is cooooking!
