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.

Shen continued her hot momentum in this tournament, as she wrapped up another victory in women's 200m freestyle in 1:57.06, 0.78 seconds ahead of second-placed Tang Yi of Shanghai. Liaoning's Guo Junjun got the bronze medal with 1:57.95.

Shen got the 100m freestyle gold medal on Tuesday.

"I'm satisfied with the result, but there is still much room for improvement. I will put more effort in the training later," said Shen.

Like Shen, Zhejiang's Fu Yuanhui also welcomed her second victory in women's 100m backstroke with 59.59 seconds.

Wang Xueer of Guangdong and Chen Jie of Hubei finished second and third respectively.

Tianjin's Li Xiang won in men's 100m breaststroke in 1:00.83, also his second gold medal in the National Championships.

Zhejiang's Mao Feilian took the silver medal with a remote time of 1:01.59. The bronze medal went to Beijing's Wang Shuai, who clocked 1:02.03.

In other three events, Li Zhuhao of Zhejiang got the men's 100m butterfly title in 52.79 seconds. Hunan's Yang Zhixian topped the men's 400m individual medley in 4:11.04. The men's 4x100m freestyle champion was the Beijing team, who finished with 3:20.53.
