DOHA, Qatar — Marrit Steenbergen and Tes Schouten made it a golden night for the Netherlands at the World Aquatics Championships. China was celebrating, too, adding two more victories to its medal haul. Steenbergen touched first in the women's 100-meter freestyle and Schouten captured gold in the 200 breaststroke. The Dutch nearly made it three golds, but China's Dong Zhihao chased down Caspar Corbeau in the men's 200 breast. With a similar comeback, China rallied on the final lap behind 16-year-old anchor Zhang Zhanshuo for a victory in the men's 4x200 freestyle relay. Spain's Hugo González captured gold in the men's 200 backstroke.
