Wu Nien-pin (Chinese: 吳念平; pinyin: Wú Niànpíng; born 4 February 1983) is a Taiwanese former swimmer, who specialized in freestyle and medley events.[1] He is a two-time Olympian (2000 and 2004), and a seventh-place finalist in the 100 m freestyle at the 2002 Asian Games in Busan, South Korea.[2] A graduate of information engineering at National Taiwan University in Taipei, Wu also trained full-time for the university's swimming squad.[3]
Wu made his Olympic debut, as a 17-year-old teen, at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. He failed to reach the top 16 in any of his individual events, finishing fifty-fifth in the 100 m freestyle (52.72), thirty-eighth in the 200 m freestyle (1:54.58), and forty-fourth in the 200 m individual medley (2:08.85).[4][5][6]
At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Wu swam only in two events with one day in between. He posted FINA B-standard entry times of 52.03 (100 m freestyle) and 2:08.12 (200 m individual medley) from the National University Games in Taipei.[7][8] On the fifth day of the Games, Wu placed fifty-fourth in the 100 m freestyle. He edged out Singapore's Mark Chay to take a seventh spot in heat three by a quarter of a second (0.25) in 52.58.[9][10] The following day, Wu managed to repeat a forty-fourth-place effort in the 200 m individual medley. Swimming in heat two, Wu saved a sixth spot over Turkey's Orel Oral by 0.12 of a second in 2:08.72.[11][12]
