Wang Shao-an


Wang Shao-an is a Taiwanese former swimmer, who specialized in sprint freestyle events. He is a single-time Olympian, and a sixth-place finalist in the 100 m freestyle at the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, China. He also competed in two previous Asian Games, but finished outside the top 8.
Wang qualified for the men's 50 m freestyle at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by clearing a FINA B-standard entry time of 23.29 from the National University Games in Taipei. He challenged seven other swimmers in heat six, including three-time Olympian Julio Santos of Ecuador. He edged out Estonia's Danil Haustov to earn a seventh spot by two hundredths of a second in 23.54. Wang failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed forty-eighth overall out of 86 swimmers in the prelims.
