In a stunning display of speed and precision, Tang Qianting of the Chinese mainland clinched the gold medal in the women's 100m breaststroke on the second day of the World Aquatics Swimming World Cup in Incheon.
Tang entered the final with the fastest qualifying time and was positioned in lane four. Demonstrating exceptional performance, she broke the Asian record at the Shanghai stop last week, setting high expectations for the competition.
From the onset, Tang took the lead and maintained her position through the first turn. The Paris Olympics silver medalist showcased her prowess by holding her lead all the way to the finish line, ultimately touching the wall first with an impressive time of one minute, 2.82 seconds.
Competing fiercely, Alina Zmushka of Belarus secured the silver medal, while Canada's Sophie Angus took home the bronze. Tang's victory not only highlights her personal achievements but also underscores the strength of the Chinese mainland's swimming program on the global stage.
