After becoming the first swimmer to win all three breaststroke events at a single world championships in July, China's Qin Haiyang will try to replicate the sweep this week at the Asian Games. Qin got the first one out of the way Monday, winning the 100 meters in an Asian Games-record 57.76 seconds, a whopping 1.33 ahead of compatriot Yan Zibei at Hangzhou Olympic Sports Centre's Aquatic Sports Arena. The 24-year-old took the lead early and held on, drawing rousing cheers from the crowd. China's Qin Haiyang celebrates after winning the men's 200-meter breaststroke in world record time at the 2023 World Aquatics Championships at Marine Messe Fukuoka in the southwestern Japan city of Fukuoka on July 28, 2023.
