Hao Yun produced 15:18 in Los Angeles US GP

A relatively unknown 15-year-old youngster Hao Yun from Hebei swam a 15:18.75 in men's 1500m free on Jul 11 in the US Grand Prix held in Los Angeles. He also placed third in the competition behind sub-15 swimmer, Cohrane from Canada. He could be another promising long distance free swimmer from China after Zhang Lin and Sun Yang. Hao could be representing the 1st Youth Olympics in August since he was selected in the 2009 Youth Olympics training camp. Jiao Liuyang and Chen Yin were both in action too with 2 wins in their pet events, women and men's 200m fly in 2:08.40 and 1:56.93 on Jul 10, respectively. Wu Peng who is training in US, was not seen in this meet.
