On the evening of July 28, the swimming of the Singapore World Swimming Championships came to the finals of the second competition day. In the men's 100m breaststroke final in the first event, Chinese player Qin Haiyang won the championship with 58.23 seconds, winning the men's 100m breaststroke championship for the second time after the 2023 World Championships (Doha did not participate in the 2024 Doha). In the men's 100m breaststroke semifinal last night, Qin Haiyang swam for 58.24 seconds and successfully advanced to the final with the first place in the semi-finals. His main rival, the Paris Olympic champion Italian Martin Nengi, was cancelled for a foul. But after complaining, Martin Nengji requalified to the final, which directly led to nine contestants participating in the final, and there were also contestants participating in the zero lane in the swim lane.

"Try your best to fight in the finals, and I didn't force myself to set a goal to win the championship." At that time, Qin Haiyang's promotion score of 58.24 seconds was his best result of this year, and he said that the ownership of the final champion is still unknown. In the finals, Qin Haiyang made an appearance in the fourth lane. During the game, Qin Haiyang ranked first in 0.64 seconds when he started to react. In the first 50 meters, Qin Haiyang closed his strength, and Martin Nengji fought very fiercely, ranking first in the segmented score of 26.90 seconds, while Qin Haiyang ranked second in the middle 0.17 seconds behind.

After turning 50 meters, Qin Haiyang began to accelerate with all his strength according to the established tactics, and he gradually erased the gap with Martineji. As the finish line got closer, Qin Haiyang finally overtook Martin and Nengji to establish a leading position. Seeing that the champion was about to change hands, Martin Nengji counterattacked wildly, but Qin Haiyang still withstood the opponent's impact and won the championship with a world-class record of 58.23 seconds. He won the men's 100-meter breaststroke championship for the World Championships for the second time. Martin Nengji won the runner-up in 58 seconds 58, while Peter Rashov of Kyrgyzstan won the third place in 58 seconds 88.

"I am very grateful for this night. I have experienced a very difficult time and I am finally back." The Chinese Frog King, who won all three breaststroke individual championships at the Fukuoka World Championships, said in response to the host's interview in English, "I am in very good shape now and very excited, and I look forward to my next performance."
