On the evening of the 24th, in the women’s 200-meter butterfly final of the Hangzhou Asian Games, Zhang Yufei successfully defended her title with a time of 2:05.57, breaking the Asian Games record, and won the first gold medal for the Chinese swimmers in this event.
This gold medal is just the beginning of Zhang Yufei’s journey to win gold in this Asian Games. In fact, before the competition, she set a “big goal” for herself: to win 7 gold medals at the Hangzhou Asian Games and win the “Most Valuable Athlete” title of this Asian Games.
This goal reflects the determination of China’s “Queen of Butterflies” to look forward to more breakthroughs. After experiencing a short period of low ebb following the Tokyo Olympics, Zhang Yufei entered 2023 and gradually showed her talents in the competition. At the Fukuoka World Championships, Zhang Yufei won 2 golds, 1 silver and 2 bronzes. She broke the world championship record in the women’s 100m butterfly with a time of 56.12 seconds and won a gold medal.
This is Zhang Yufei’s first gold medal in an individual event at the World Championships. It not only tests the results of her efforts in adjusting her mentality and improving her skills, but also allows a seed of “beyond self” to sprout in her heart.

After returning from the Fukuoka World Championships, Zhang Yufei became more and more comfortable on the court. Moving to the Universiade, she won nine out of nine games. After the game, Zhang Yufei’s joke regarding “there are so many medals that the cabinet can’t fit” once became a hot topic. She also admitted that she can start to accept the title of “Butterfly Queen” given to her by the outside world with peace of mind.
When the clarion call for the Asian Games sounded, Zhang Yufei showed full confidence. Regarding the first event she will participate in, Zhang Yufei gave her own interpretation: “In the 200-meter butterfly event, my biggest opponent is myself. Because my level in the 200-meter butterfly is very stable. As long as I swim at my own time, no one can win. Got me.”
The development of the game was exactly as Zhang Yufei expected. In the Asian Games women’s 200-meter butterfly preliminaries on the 24th, Zhang Yufei advanced with a huge advantage of 3.29 seconds ahead of the second place. In the final, Zhang Yufei responded quickly and took the lead all the way, successfully winning the championship amidst the cheers of the audience.

In this final, Zhang Yufei has become the oldest player, but she is not too anxious regarding it. She bluntly said at the post-match press conference that as she grows older, her mental endurance and maturity have improved greatly compared to before. When she was young, she didn’t know where she would go. After winning the Olympic championship, every step forward It is moving towards a higher “step”.
Judging from the history and characteristics of the event, swimming is one of the events most likely to produce a “multiple gold medal winner” in the Asian Games. According to the competition arrangement, Zhang Yufei will participate in 7 events in this Asian Games.
Starting from the 200-meter butterfly, Zhang Yufei embarked on a journey to win gold in the Asian Games. In the women’s 4×100-meter freestyle relay final, Zhang Yufei won the championship with her teammates and won her second personal gold. From the perspective of the outside world, there is no longer much suspense regarding the gold medals in the multiple events that China’s “Butterfly Queen” has signed up for. In the competition called transcendence, Zhang Yufei is bound to attack the established goal and look forward to becoming a better version of herself.
