In the early morning of October 23, the 2023 FINA World Cup Budapest sub-competition ended, and on the last competition day, China's Qin Haiyang won gold in the men's 200m breaststroke competition and broke the event record. At this point, the World Cup sub-tournament came to an end after three races in Berlin, Athens and Budapest, and Qin Haiyang achieved three consecutive championships and won the World Cup Men's Annual Championship with 175.4 points.
The 2023 FINA World Cup is divided into three stops, with Budapest as the last one. In the previous competitions in Berlin and Athens, Qin Haiyang won all three events in the men's 50m breaststroke, 100m breaststroke and 200m breaststroke. In this race, Qin Haiyang swam a time of 2:07.32 in the men's 200m breaststroke final and won the championship again.
Although British star Adam Pitty did not participate in the 200-meter breaststroke race in Budapest, he specially exchanged swimming caps with Qin Haiyang after the previous day's competition to pay respect. As Pitti recovers, the two will face off again at next year's World Championships in Doha and the Paris Olympics.
After the end of the three World Cup sub-tournaments, Qin Haiyang's international competition tasks for this season have also come to an end. This year, Qin Haiyang is undefeated in the breaststroke event and has set his own world record in the men's 200m breaststroke event at the World Championships.
It is worth mentioning that since the beginning of the Fukuoka World Championships, Qin Haiyang has won 23 gold medals in 90 days, including 4 gold medals at the World Championships, 5 Universiade, 5 Asian Games and 9 World Cup sub-tournaments.
