Chinese swimmers delighted the local crowd last night with gold medals from Qi Hui (women's 200m breaststroke) and Yang Yu (women's 200m freestyle). Qi alo won gold in the 200m and 400m individual medley.
China finished with a record 5 gold, one silver and 6 bronze medals to rank third in the medal table. Australia topped the table with 12 gold followed by the US with 6.
