Eleven Chinese rising stars to watch at Hangzhou Asian Games

Shi Haoyu (Artistic Swimming)

As the first and only male swimmer in the Chinese artistic swimming team, Shi made his international debut at the age of 15 at the FINA Synchro World Series 2017 in China by taking gold in the mixed duet free with partner Sheng Shuwen.

Despite winning multiple World Cup and World Series golds with different partners in the following years, Shi had never had a chance to top the podium at the World Championships until Fukuoka 2023, in which Shi won the mixed duet free and team acrobatic, along with a bronze in the mixed duet technical.
