While most high-level international swimmers took a break from training following the World Championships in Singapore this past July, Team China had other plans. Many of the nation’s top stars headed to high-altitude training camps shortly after the meet concluded, with Chinese media outlets extensively reporting on the sessions.
Two-time Olympic medalist Yu Yiting officially confirmed the training camp in an interview published yesterday by China.org.cn.
Yu competed at a National meet, which SwimSwam has extensively covered. After her 200 IM, she said: “But after coming down from high-altitude training, I didn’t adjust quickly enough, so I have some regrets about my result. But winning the gold in the 4×100 relay still makes me very happy.”
The National Games are scheduled for November, meaning that while many international stars took a break from competing in August with eyes on the World Cup circuit in October, the Chinese team will have had no respite.
Many of their top swimmers are targeting record-breaking performances, including reigning Olympic 100 free champion Pan Zhanle, as the National Games for Chinese athletes are considered even more important than the World Championships, ranking a close second to even the Olympic Games and Asian Games in terms of overall significance.
The National Games occur every four years, and this year marks the 15th edition. Running from November 9-21, it’s a multi-sport event that mostly mirrors the sports of the Asian Games and Olympics.
SwimSwam will, of course, publish previews and recaps as the meet approaches.
