MACAU (AFP) — China put in another record-breaking performance in the East Asian Games swimming pool, sweeping seven of eight events to eclipse Japan's earlier 10-medal haul in track and field.
Zhang Lin, one night after smashing the Asian men's 1,500m freestyle record to announce China's re-emergence as a swimming power, took the 200m in a Games-best one minute, 48.64 seconds.
Asian record-holder Ouyang Kunpeng came from behind to snatch victory from Takashi Nakano in the 200m backstroke, also setting a new Games mark of 1:58.24.
Zhou Jiawei won the men's 50m butterfly in a Games-record 23.98 while Gao Chang also set a new mark in the women's 50m backstroke.
