Sun Yang threw down a world best in the men’s 200-meter free at the Chinese Nationals.
Sun Yang jumped to the top of the men’s 200-meter free world rankings with a time of 1:45.75. That swim cleared the 1:45.82 set by Kosuke Hagino earlier this week at the 2015 Japan Swim. Xu Qiheng took second overall in 1:47.87, while Shang Keyuan snared third in 1:48.54.
Fu Yuanhui touched out Chen Jie in a barnburner in the women’s 100-meter back, 59.41 to 59.78. That put the two fourth and fifth in the world rankings with Emily Seebohm (58.89), Madison Wilson (58.94) and Mie Nielsen (59.14) the only swimmers faster this year. Cheng Haihua placed third tonight in China with a 1:01.02.
Xu Jiayu moved into fifth in the world rankings in the men’s 100-meter back with a time of 53.47. Li Guangyuan placed second in 54.80, while He Jianbin wound up third tonight in 55.02.
Shi Jinglin provided another fifth-ranked swim tonight as Shi clocked a 1:07.03 in the women’s 100-meter breaststroke for the win. He Yun earned second tonight in 1:07.96 with Zhang Xinyu touching in 1:08.16.
Xin Xin turned in the fourth fifth-ranked swim of the night with a 16:23.47 to win the women’s 1500-meter free. Wang Guoyue placed second in 16:25.41 for eighth in the world with Bi Yirong taking ninth in the world with a third-place 16:28.94.
once a cheater always a cheater
Disgrace! Shouldnt be allowed near a pool let alone competing again!
He is 0 after he used “drugs” 0 0
Sun Yang and Brian King are perfect for each other. A drug cheat coupled with an alleged fraudster. http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/swimming-coach-brian-king-accused-of-falsifying-resum-credentials/story-fni0cx12-1227291296863
Would you all say the same thing about Jessica Hardy?? Heck, the drug (which was contained in chest pain medicine) has already been reclassified and downgraded since Jan 2015. That means it doesn’t enhance performance. Nobody would intent to cheat with something useless.
I must make it clear again that the doping scandal was originally the fault of CHINADA rather than Sun Yang himself. Those who do not understand the whole situation should not speak ill of others. Haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate. But as a Chinese, I’m always in favor of him.
Love to see you come up against Craig Lord swimvortex. It’s not about “haters, gonna hate, hate, hate”. Shows your level of maturity and knowledge on the matter. Get your head out of the sand. Craig Lord would eat you alive…that is why you are never on his forums. Amanda and “Justice” Kang. LOL.
Go Sun Yang! make them shut up with the perf in the pool!
and take that Craig Lorde! ^^
Go hyberbaric chamber! Hypoxia intermittently for natural EPO doping. CL talked about fair competition! Some third world countries do not the means and facilities to acclimatize or conditioning their swimmers to compete with the athletes from advanced nations who are supported by nutritionists, sports scientists and exceptional coaches with great rapport. Does TMZ helps in creating world champion besides Sun Yang. It probably save you from drowning under extreme anaerobic conditions or probably like taking aspirin to prevent heart attack or seizures. Oh CL is good at stirring controversial issues like Yu Hexin and Chinese altered his date of birth so that he qualified for YOG in 2014 to win golds.
Please, “Justice Kang” grace yourself on swimvortex. Craig Lord will eat you alive!! Or are you Brian King in disguise. LOL.
In actual fact , my initial is also BK but not that ‘Croc BK from’ land of OZ. CL is fine and being objective but at times he is very picky and myopic on certain issues. Interesting! No offense freedom of speech! Provocative maybe! Croc BK is tough and rough but he learned his ropes from his mentor well to be entrusted to guide shark SY to ‘damn’ his critics and underachievers in RIO !
