Zhang's Olympic bid sinking

Zhang Lin's London Olympics bid hangs by a thread after the 800 metre freestyle world record holder's poor performances at China's national championships, state media said Monday.

Zhang finished 10th in the 200m and sixth in the 1,500m freestyle at the event in east China. He was fourth in the 400m -- a yawning 6.83sec behind winner Sun Yang.

He said he was bewildered by his dismal timings, according to the official China Daily newspaper.

"I am really tired and the results here are so disappointing.... I don't know what's wrong with my performance. It was supposed to be much better. I've regained my rhythm and done tests well in training," he was quoted as saying.

Zhang's coach Chen Yinghong also expressed shock, blaming asthma for hindering his performances.
