The 26-year-old Qin won the 100 m breaststroke at the beginning of the week, but celebrated his second victory as if it were his first.
He caused the air before he set up the enthusiastic Chinese fans in the arena, who screamed for an exciting victory.
Qin started the race in Lane after he had slowed the semi -finals, but it made no difference when he stylishly regained the world championship title in 2023.
“Amazing,” said Qin. “Did you hear eight miracles from the Lane?
“I didn’t know if I was second or third, I only heard ‘Whoo’, so I knew I had won.”
The tour changed the owner several times throughout the race, with the American AJ bag and the Russian Kirill Prigoda also challenging.

In the end it was Qin who got the crucial note before Watanabe and gave the Chinese swimmer his fourth medal of the championships in Singapore.
After a difficult time, Qin returns to the Paris Olympic Games at the Olympic Games last year, where he did not even score the finals of the 200 meter breast trich.
His preparations for the games were thrown in turbulence when he was involved in a big doping scandal months before the games.
A report called Qin among 23 Chinese swimmers who had tested positively for a prescription cardiac medication before the Pandemic Olympic Games in Tokyo in Tokyo.
They were not sanctioned after the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) had assumed the argument of the Chinese authorities that the positive tests were caused by contaminated food.
