Wang Shao-an (Chinese: 王紹安; pinyin: Wáng Shào'ān; born October 31, 1984) is a Taiwanese former swimmer, who specialized in sprint freestyle events.[1] He is a single-time Olympian, and a sixth-place finalist in the 100 m freestyle at the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, China. He also competed in two previous Asian Games (2002 and 2006), but finished outside the top 8.[2]
Wang qualified for the men's 50 m freestyle at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by clearing a FINA B-standard entry time of 23.29 from the National University Games in Taipei.[3] He challenged seven other swimmers in heat six, including three-time Olympian Julio Santos of Ecuador. He edged out Estonia's Danil Haustov to earn a seventh spot by two hundredths of a second (0.02) in 23.54. Wang failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed forty-eighth overall out of 86 swimmers in the prelims.[4][5][6]
