Meanwhile at the Tokyo Aquatics Center, Team China, comprised of Yuan Weiyi, Lu Dong, Zhang Li and Zheng Tao, won the mixed 4x50m freestyle-20 points after breaking the world record in two minutes and 15.49 seconds.

"For me, the medal isn't the most important thing. What's more important is improving on what you've done before," Yuan said. "Even though I didn't win a medal in my first event [men's 100m freestyle S5], this gold medal is quite unexpected, so I'm quite happy about it."
