The Chinese men are so far performing in the shadow of their female compatriots. However, captain He Shugan was close to winning the obstacle swimming event, but was passed by three swimmers in the final heats. Danish First Corporal Brian Dasbjerg was fastest in 25.4 seconds and Russian captain Igor Egorov and German staff sergeant Thomas Sigl shared second position.
Chinese first lieutenant Wang Xiaokang posted an 11th spot and Cadet Chen Xueming set the 18th time. Cadet Hu Weixue (46), cadet Wang Maolin (53) and cadet Xiang Yuan (60) finished outside the premier places.
The Russian team won the team swimming ranking and lead the competition after three events. China's fifth place in the swimming event made them move into the eighth position in the overall ranking.
In the individual general ranking, Finland's Topi Hellsten kept the lead. He Shugan (14) leads the Chinese delegation before Hu Weixue (35), Wang Maolin (37), Xiang Yuan (51), Chen Xueming (53) and Wang Xiaokang (60).
The men took some rest after the swimming battle in Rheden, but the women had little time to recline. Liu Kun showed abundant energy and moved on by winning the throwing contest. Gong Yanyan finished fourth and Zhang Xue lost her top position due to a sixth score. Tian Linna finished 16th.
China strengthened its leading position in the team ranking by finishing second behind Russia in the swimming competition and earning gold in the throwing contest.
