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 burst onto the scene at the July world championships in Fukuoka, becoming the first man in history to sweep all three breaststroke titles and also setting a new world record in the 200m.
Since stunning Britain's Duncan Scott to take Olympic medley gold, Wang has faltered, missing out on the final at the last two world championships."It wasn't good, but I know I can do better," said a disappointed Seto."I want to improve my time and look forward to battling the two Chinese swimmers." Zhang, fresh from beating a stacked field to win the 100m world title in Fukuoka, turned at the halfway point in her heat two body lengths clear and was cruising.
But Japan are in disarray after an awful world championships, finishing 17th with just two bronze and long-time head coach Norimasa Hirai bowing out.
