19-year-old Chinese star ends gold drought and eyes London Olympics

SHANGHAI - China's Jiao Liuyang won her first individual 200 meter World Championships butterfly gold medal, but she was not satisfied with her time and said the real competition would take place at the 2012 London Olympic Games.

"I felt OK today. It's my first gold medal at the worlds, so I'm happy with it," said 19-year-old Jiao. "However, the level of the competition was not very high, so it was not a real fight this time. This worlds is the last major event before the London Games and the gold medal means something to me, but the result is not that satisfactory."
