2026 CHINESE NATIONAL SWIMMING CHAMPIONSHIPS
Tuesday, June 16 – Sunday, June 21, 2026 Hangzhou, China LCM (50 meters) Live Results Day 1 RecapThe 2nd day of action in Hangzhou was highlighted by a few major performances, perhaps none more impactful than one of China’s young talents in Yu Yiting in the 200 IM, blasting a new Asian Record in the event in 2:06.82, a time that leapfrogs her into the top spot on the world rankings this season, and slots her well inside the top ten performers ever in the event’s history.
Yiting was dominant in the 200 IM final, which closed out the 2nd day of individual competition. She finished more than two and a half seconds ahead of former Asian record holder Yu Zidi in 2:09.33. That swim also puts Yiting ahead of Zidi as the world’s top performer in the event this season, besting the 13-year-old phenom’s 2:07.41 from the Chinese National Games in November, which also stood as the then-Asian record.
