Shi swam with partner Sheng, writing history as the first Chinese male swimmer ever to compete in a synchronized swimming event at FINA Worlds.
Shi, who turns 16 in October, trained as a swimmer since he was a kid, but was persuaded by coach Lu Liya to try synchronized swimming three years ago, as two mixed duet events were added to the 2015 World Championships in Kazan.
Their routine was called "Swing Night", which tells a romantic a story. A man and a woman have crushes on each other after they meet at a party.
