FUKUOKA, Japan, July 24 (Xinhua) — Zhang Yufei claimed the women's 100m butterfly title and Qin Haiyang registered a historic breaststroke victory here on Monday as China consolidated its lead on medal standings at the World Aquatics Championships.
17-year-old Yu Yiting added a bronze in the women's 200m individual medley (IM) to China's medal haul on the second day of swimming competition.
China is now atop the medal table with 17 golds, five silvers and six bronzes. 12 of the gold medals were won by their all-conquering diving team and three from artistic swimmers. Australia is second on 5-2-1, and Japan third on 4-1-4.

Italy's Nicolo Martinenghi, Dutchman Arno Kamminga and American veteran Nic Fink shared the second place as the trio clocked an identical time of 58.72 seconds.
Only a few minutes later, Zhang, 200m butterfly gold winner at the Tokyo Olympics, earned China the second gold in swimming at the Fukuoka worlds in the women's 100m butterfly after clocking 56.12 seconds.
