Veterans of valor

Zhang Yufei

(Swimming)

At 25, Zhang is already considered a veteran in a sport where teenagers often top the podium. Just two days after wrapping up her World Aquatics Championships campaign with five medals, including two golds, Zhang completed a remarkable gold-medal sweep in all nine events she competed in at the Chengdu World University Games. Having won one gold at the 2014 Asiad as well as two golds and a silver in 2018, the Olympic champion says she is targeting seven titles at her third Asian Games.
