Two students from SCNU have met the qualification standard for Tokyo 2020, as they both won gold medals in the 2020 National Swimming Championship held in Qingdao, North China’s Shandong Province.

Liu Xiang, world record holder of women's 50m backstroke at the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, won the women's 50m freestyle in 24.45, being the only one reaching the standard to qualify for Tokyo 2020 in this field. 

In the physical fitness test before the competition, Liu got 43 points (full score 50 points), ranking the first among 16 swimmers in the women's 50m freestyle preliminary. She has also become the first player whose swimming performance and physical fitness results both ranked first in the National Swimming Championship. Liu currently studies physical education and training at SCNU.

Wang got a bronze medal in the women's 100m backstroke at the 2014 Incheon Asian Games.
