辛鑫夺冠

Chinese swimmer Xin Xin won the first gold medal for China in open water swimming at the 18th FINA World Championships on Sunday in Gwangju, Korea. The time was on July 14, 2019. It was really exciting news.

The 22­year­old young girl finished first in one hour 54 minutes and 47.20 seconds in the women's 10km open water swimming. She became the first swimmer to get a gold medal for China in the history of the swimming world championships.

Xin was just 0.90 second ahead of Haley Anderson, an American swimmer. Haley came in second on the third day of the world. Rachele Bruni of Italy came away with bronze in 1:54:49.90.

The Chinese swimmer went down in history of open water swimming, after breaking the Asian record in the women's 800m freestyle at the 2013 National Games in Liaoning, China.

Among 64 swimmers, Xin was the first to qualify (取得资格) for the open water 10km marathon at the 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Japan. The 10km marathon swimming firstly appeared at the Beijing Olympics in 2008.

"My strategies (策略) today were to relax and save energy in the first half, and to keep clear in the mind and also to keep the confidence in myself," said Xin.
