Veteran swimmer Wang Shun of Zhejiang province cemented his legendary status at this year's National Games in Shenzhen, securing his 18th career gold medal in the men's 200m individual medley on November 15. The 31-year-old Asian record holder led from start to finish, clocking 1:56.20 to complete a historic four-peat in the event.
Wang's technical mastery shone through as he outperformed Guangdong's Tao Guannan and Shanghai's Chen Nuo, who claimed silver and bronze respectively. The victory extends Wang's record as the most decorated active swimmer in National Games history.
While Wang dominated the medley, rising star Pan Zhanle also made waves in Shenzhen's swimming competitions, though specific details of his performances remain undisclosed at this time. The National Games continue to showcase China's deepening pool of aquatic talent as athletes push boundaries ahead of major international competitions.
