I think China won only 2 swimming golds? both thanks to Pan Zhanle, their amazing world record setting freestyler who apparently was not part of the Tokyo doping. Wonder if he's been clean in Paris.

Meanwhile, Udodi, competing for Nigeria, did not have his best race in his 200m dash preliminary heat. He had one of the fastest reaction times at the start but his usual burst of speed off the turn seemed to be missing. He ran a 20.55, did not auto-qualify, and must try to make the semi-final via the "repechage" heat tomorrow. His lifetime best is 19.76.
