Shi Jinglin (Chinese: 史婧琳; pinyin: Shǐ Jìnglín; born 3 January 1993) is a Chinese competitive swimmer who specializes in the breaststroke events.[1] She has produced a tally of four medals, two golds and two bronze, in major international competition, spanning the Asian Games and the World Championships. At the 2014 Asian Games, Shi demolished a meet record to claim the gold medal in the 100 m breaststroke.

Shi made her first Chinese team at the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon, South Korea, where she achieved two medals, a gold and a bronze, in swimming. She started off the meet by surpassing Japan's Kanako Watanabe in the first half of the race to smash the Asian Games record for a gold medal victory in the 100 m breaststroke with a time of 1:06.67, vaulting her up to eighth in the world rankings.[2] The following day, in the 200 m breaststroke, Shi fell behind the Japanese duo Watanabe and Rie Kaneto in a sprint finish to claim the bronze at 2:23.58.[3][4]

At the 2015 FINA World Championships in Kazan, Russia, Shi added two more medals, a gold and a bronze, to her career tally. In her first event, 100 m breaststroke, Shi lowered her personal best to 1:06.55 for a fifth-place finish in the final, missing out the podium by 0.13 seconds.[5] Three days later, Shi swam a matching time of 2:22.76 in an unprecedented three-way tie with Spain's Jessica Vall Montero and Denmark's world-record holder Rikke Møller Pedersen for a bronze in the 200 m breaststroke final.[6][7] On the final night of the meet, Shi and her teammates Fu Yuanhui, Lu Ying, and Shen Duo put up a blazing fast finish in 3:54.41 to claim the gold in the 4 × 100 m medley relay, just over two seconds away of the current meet record set by her team in 2009.[8][9]
