The Chinese women's team achieved a relay golden double in finswimming at the 2025 Chengdu World Games at home on Monday, as Hungary's Nandor Kiss set another world record in the pool.

Following their thrilling comeback victory in the women's surface relay 4x100-meter event on Sunday, the Chinese team – consisting of Shu Chengjing, Xu Yichuan, Xie Wenmin, and Hu Yaoyao – aimed to surpass their own world record set at the Birmingham World Games in 2022.

Amid tremendous cheers from local supporters, the team led from start to finish in the surface relay 4x50m final, clocking a world-record time of 1:07.99 to secure the gold medal.

"We're so happy, so excited! This is the first time our four athletes have competed together, and we're really surprised and unexpected to achieve such great results," Xu said. "The audience at the venue also cheered us on and gave us a lot of motivation."

"Over the past two weeks, we've been practicing our baton exchange techniques non-stop. If we could improve by even 0.1 or 0.2 seconds, it would be crucial for breaking the record," added the 33-year-old, who's competing at her fourth World Games.

Germany, winners of the men's surface relay 4x50m on Sunday, also claimed their second relay gold in the surface relay 4x100m. Ukraine and South Korea took the silver and bronze, respectively, while China finished sixth.

Kiss and compatriot Szebasztian Szabo Gyoergyei each set a new world record in the men's surface 200m and men's bi fins 50m, respectively. Meanwhile, Ukraine's Sofiia Hrechko secured the women's surface 400m gold with a new world record of 3:11.88.

"At first, I was just fighting for a podium position until my perfect second 50 meters gave me the lead. When it came to the final sprint, I had only one thing in my mind: going faster and faster!" Kiss said. "Since the last World Games in Birmingham, I've been dreaming of this gold medal. Even now, I can hardly believe I actually made it."

The two-day finswimming competition witnessed the breaking of seven world records and nine World Games records. Hungary topped the medal table with five golds, three silvers and one bronze, followed by Germany with three golds and three silvers, and Ukraine with two golds, four silvers and five bronzes. China finished further behind with two golds, one silver and one bronze.
