17/10/2005 7:24

Wu Peng renewed his own national record to take the men's 200m butterfly title, collecting his third gold medal for Zhejiang at the Chinese National Games on Sunday.

The 18-year-old powered down the stretch and touched the wall first in a winning time of one minute and 55.78 seconds, shaving off 0.5 seconds off his own record.

Wu thus became the three-times champion at the Games following his victories in both the men's 400m individual medley and 4x100m free relay.

Chen Yin from Hebei finished second in 1:57.44 with Zheng Huazhang from Liaoning third, 1.36 seconds behind.
