2026 ASIAN GAMES
September 19th – October 4th Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan LCM (50m) Meet CentralThe 2026 Asian Games are headed to Nagoya, Japan beginning in September and we now know who will be representing the nation of China at the prestigious international competition.
A lineup of 21 females and 19 males have been selected by the Chinese Swimming Federation, primarily based on performances put up at last week’s National Championships, as well as the China Open earlier this Spring.
The former competition saw a quartet of Chinese national records go down, including the following:
Xu Jiayu – men’s 50m back (23.92) Wang Changhao – men’s 50m fly (23.21) Xu Fang – men’s 100m fly (50.73) Yu Yiting – women’s 200m IM (2:06.82)The women’s portion of the roster is stacked with veteran talent to the tune of Olympic medalists Zhang Yufei, Wang Xueer and Li Bingjie but also boasts 13-year-old phenom Yu Zidi. Yu made major noise last year as the youngest swimmer ever World Championships medalist and the teen has continued to be electric ever since.
The men’s lineup also has its share of racing mainstays, including Olympic medalists Wang Shun, Xu Jiayu and Pan Zhanle. The on-fire freestyler Zhang Zhanshuo will also be among those looking to make his mark.
China dominated the swimming medal table at the previous edition of the Asian Games, originally scheduled for 2022 but actually held in 2023 due to prolonged COV-19 concerns. There in Hanzhou, China amassed 58 total medals, more than double runners-up Korea, with the haul including a remarkable 28 golds.
Among the medalists, Xu swept the men’s backstroke events, Qin Haiyang topped all three breaststroke podiums and Pan collected four individual event medals, including 100m free gold.
Li was unstoppable in the women’s 400m, 800m and 1500m freestyle races, as Zhang earned gold across the women’s 50m/100m/200m fly events.
