The Asian Games are kicking off in Tokyo, and some of the fastest swimmers on the planet are ready to throw down! From Pan Zhanle looking to back up his 100m Freestyle World Record to Qin Haiyang facing massive Japanese breaststroke pressure, we are deep-diving into the races you absolutely cannot miss.
In this episode of the Propulsion Swimming Podcast, Dan and I break down our top swimmers to watch, including 31-year-old veteran Xu Jiayu throwing down lifetime bests, Olympic silver-medalist Tomoyuki Matsushita hunting Leon Marchand's 400 IM times, and the 14-year-old Chinese phenom (Yu Zidi) who is rapidly closing the gap on Summer McIntosh!
