China’s Yan Zibei beat a stacked field in the men’s 200 breast final on Thursday night at the TYR Pro Swim Series in Austin. Yan did not swim the 200 in Budapest but finished seventh in the 100 breast at the World Championships this past summer. Yan won the final tonight with a 2:10.33 to beat a very stacked American field.

Will Licon (2:11.99), Nic Fink (2:12.09), Carlos Claverie (2:13.34), Reece Whitley (2:13.92) and Andrew Wilson (2:15.42) also swam in the championship final.
