Chiang Tzu-ying (Chinese: 江 姿穎; pinyin: Jiāng Zīyǐng; born September 15, 1984) is a Taiwanese former swimmer, who specialized in sprint freestyle events.[1] Chiang competed for Chinese Taipei in the women's 50 m freestyle, as a 15-year-old, at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. She achieved a FINA B-cut of 27.03 from the National University Games in Taipei.[2] She challenged seven other swimmers in heat five, including teenagers Marijana Šurković of Croatia and Jūratė Ladavičiūtė of Lithuania. She scorched the field by more than half a second (0.50) to power home with a leading finish in a sterling time of 26.84, sufficiently enough for her personal best. Chiang failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed fortieth overall out of 74 swimmers in the prelims.[3][4][5]
