China's star swimmer Qin Haiyang roared to the men's 200m breaststroke gold medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games on Thursday.
Qin timed a Games record of 2:07.03 for the gold, far behind his world record of 2:05.48 set at the Fukuoka worlds in July.
As the first swimmer in history to sweep three breaststroke gold medals in a single World Championships, 24-year-old Qin will also compete in the 50m breast on Friday. He has already been crowned over the 100m distance in Hangzhou.
His fellow countryman Dong Zhihao came second in 2:08.67, while Japan's Ippei Watanabe rounded out the podium in 2:09.91.
