Ye Shiwen was placed in Group 3 in the women's 200m breaststroke competition. At the beginning of the race, Ye Shiwen was a little nervous, with a time of 33.00 seconds in the first 50 meters, ranking only 6th. However, after 50 meters, Ye Shiwen gradually found the rhythm of the game and began to pick up speed. Halfway through the 100m run, she managed to move up to second place, showing her strength.
In the second half, Ye Shiwen played steadily and maintained the second position. As the race drew to a close, she went even faster and finished in 2:23.67, setting a new personal best and securing second place in the group.

Men's 200m backstroke - Xu Jiayu retired before the game.
Xu Jiayu, who originally played in Group 2, has been the favorite to win the men's 200m backstroke. However, as the match was about to start, he had to withdraw from the match due to his physical condition. This decision undoubtedly disappointed Xu Jiayu's fans.
At the same time, in the women's 200m butterfly event, mainland players Zhang Yufei and Chen Luying performed well. The two played in Group 3 and attracted the attention of the audience from the beginning of the game. Zhang Yufei always maintained the leading position, and she was the first to touch the edge to finish the race with a time of 2:06.55, showing strong strength. The teenager Chen Luying also performed steadily, ranking fourth in the group with a time of 2:09.31 and successfully qualified.
