Year-ender: Chinese athletes keep the flag flying high

Young swimmers make a splash in short-course

Sun Yang, China's serial world and Olympic champion, is not alone in making a splash in the pool as his younger teammates are emerging.

Sixteen-year-old Wang Jianjiahe took the women's 800m freestyle gold and led to win the 4x200m freestyle relay at the FINA World Championships (25m) in Hangzhou in December. Medley swimmer Wang Shun, 24, and backstroker Xu Jiayu, 23, also dominated in their respective disciplines with one gold and one silver.
