WUHAN, July 16 (Xinhua) -- A 23-year-old Chinese girl successfully swam 74 kilometers without a break in the Qingjiang River on Friday. Zhang Jie, a swimming coach at the Beijing Sports University, started the adventure at 3:50 p.m. Saturday and finished swimming at 1:06 p.m. Friday. The 423-km-long Qingjiang River is a tributary of Yangtze River, the longest river in China. Zhang Jian, the first Chinese who swam across the English Channel, said it was really a tough mission. "Swimming in Qingjiang is tougher than in the sea due to the low temperature and the long-distance, which requires high physical and psychological quality of the challenger. She overcame all these difficulties," said Zhang Jian, also the director of the outdoor sports center at the Beijing Sport University. Zhang Jie took the swim in Qingjiang as a warm-up for her bid to swim 80km in Xingkaihu Lake in northeastern Heilongjiang province on Aug. 8. If she succeeds, she would break the Guiness Record, becoming the first female who completes the continuous swimming with longest course in open waters. Zhang Jie, a member of "Zhang Jian Open-Water Swimming Team", successfully crossed the 150km-long section of Qingjiang by relays in 2006. She also crossed the Cook Strait of New Zealand in 2007, becoming the first Chinese conquering the strait.Chinese girl completes 21-hour open-water swimming without break - lithium ion battery for saleChinese girl completes 21-hour open-water swimming without break - lithium ion battery for saleChinese girl completes 21-hour open-water swimming without break - lithium ion battery for saleChinese girl completes 21-hour open-water swimming without break - lithium ion battery for saleChinese girl completes 21-hour open-water swimming without break - lithium ion battery for saleChinese girl completes 21-hour open-water swimming without break - lithium ion battery for saleChinese girl completes 21-hour open-water swimming without break - lithium ion battery for sale I am an expert from disqueenfrance.com, while we provides the quality product, such as lithium ion battery for sale , nitrogen tire inflator for sale, China Manufacturers,and more.
