China’s Qin Haiyang reacts after competing in the heats of the men's 200m individual medley event during the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou in China's eastern Zhejiang province on September 24, 2023. - AFPPIX: Triple breaststroke world champion Qin Haiyang showed off his versatility by upstaging Olympic gold medallist Wang Shun to qualify fastest for Sunday’s men’s 200m medley final at the Asian Games.
Qin was pushed hard in his heat by Chinese teammate Wang, who touched a fingertip behind to set up an enticing gold-medal showdown. The defending champion touched in 2:07.46, more than three seconds clear of teammate Yu Liyan and Japan’s up-and-coming Airi Mitsui. Both China and Japan claimed 19 golds at the Asian Games in 2018, and they are overwhelming favourites to top the medals table once again.
