Kinesiska Liu Zige hevur í kvøld á kinesisku meistarastevnuni knúst heimsmetið í 200 firvald á langgeil, við tíðini 2:01.81, har heimsmetið hjá avstralsku Jessicah Schipper frá HM í Rom í summar var 2:03.41, og har heimsmetið á stuttgeil er 2:03.12 (!). Liu var við splitt-tíðini 58.08 eftir 100 metrum heili tvey sekund undir splitt-tíðina 1:00.25 í heimsmetinum hjá Schipper, men dragnaði so ímóti endanum, til at betra um heimsmetið við 1.6 sekundum.

Úr viðmerkingunum á SwimmingWorld Magazine:
I just confirmed what David Rieder said in his comment – the fastest suit used is the LZR. That means that Liu Zige set that WR in the same suit that she originally set the WR at last year’s Olympics, only 2.37 seconds FASTER. This is the same girls who only 18 months ago never went sub 2:08.
She’s dropped 7 seconds in 1.5 years.
Compare that with Michael Phelps who in 9 years, has grown from boy to man and has “only” dropped 5 seconds in the same event.
