Does it seem to anyone else that Chinese swimmers tend to be here today and gone tomorrow? They usually have a few swimmers capable of winning gold medals at World events, but they never seem to produce any lasting legacy.
I will admit I have a hard time remembering their names and that could be part of it.
There are some that manage to stick around. Zige's been consisntently on top of the 200 fly lists since Beijing. Qi *** was almost always near the top of the women's breaststroke lists of one course or the other from about 1998-2006. Luo Xuejuan had a good five year global run before heart issues forced her out of the sport. And I think Sun's going to be having people going "but... his turns..." until probably Rio.
But yeah, they're kind of the exception to the rule.
