Of course. He's lying low. LOL. 25M event is not that significant.

At the 25m event, many other Chinese swimmers like Qin, Tang and Zhang yufei are performing normally. Some even broke some Asian records.

One reason records for the 25m pools are broken more often is the infrequent meets.
Pan should have taken the chance and set some new records.

This easily could be his best in the 25m pool. He might be better at swimming than kicking off the walls. If he did more quad exercise to be a better kicker, it might be worse for his swimming cus he'd be more back-heavy and it could cost him the real golds and world records in the 50m pool.

In the 25m event, it's much more about the swimmers' ability to do the flip turn and how fast they can go while under water (up to max of 15m) before having to surface to perform the required stroke. 15m is already more than half of 25m.

What the hell? Didn't they just wrap up a World Cup in Shanghai? They're going back-to-back in Incheon??
And also, I didn't see the Shanghai World Cup so this is the first time I'm seeing a 25m pool race. It was horrible to watch. Looked like a bunch of frogs struggling in a fish tank. These are definitely not serious/highly coveted comps or records.

As long as they pay $$ for winning, the top swimmers will participate.
