QINGDAO, May 15 -- Olympic champion Jiao Liuyang, women's 200m butterfly champion in 2012 Olympic Games, claimed the title in her familiar event, while Jiangsu's Shen Duo got her second gold medal in the Chinese National Swimming Championships here on Thursday.
Jiao clocked 2:07.28 for the title. Her long-time rival Liu Zige, 2008 Olympic Games titleholder, came third in 2:09.89. Hebei's Zhou Yilin was second in 2:09.81
"My recovery from injury went well. It seems OK with my body, but the main problem lies in a lack of training," said Liu.
