🏊♀️ China's women's finswimming team just made a splash at the 2025 Chengdu World Games, smashing their own world record in the 4x50m surface relay with a blazing 1:07.99! 🎉
Fresh off their comeback win in the 4x100m relay, the quartet: Shu Chengjing, Xu Yichuan, Xie Wenmin, and Hu Yaoyao dove in together for the first time and left everyone cheering. 🙌
"We're so happy, so excited! The crowd's energy pushed us," said Xu, who's chasing gold in her fourth World Games. They even practiced their handoffs like a K-drama training montage to shave off those crucial 0.1-0.2 seconds. ⏱️💪
On the men's side, Hungary's Nandor Kiss and Szebasztian Szabo Gyoergyei each set new world records in the 200m and bi-fins 50m events – bi-fins are like strapping two fins to each foot for turbo speed! 🚀
Ukraine's Sofiia Hrechko also made waves by winning the women's 400m surface event in a record 3:11.88. 🌊🔥
Across two days, finswimmers shattered seven world records and nine World Games records. Hungary led the medal table, followed by Germany and Ukraine, while China finished with two golds, one silver, and one bronze. 🥇🥈🥉
From intense teamwork to split-second precision, this is proof that dedication pays off – whether in the pool or in your next mobile game grind! 📱🎮
