Template:Chinese-name Wang Wei-Wen (Chinese: 王 韋文; pinyin: Wáng Wéiwén; born December 16, 1986 in Taipei) is a Taiwanese swimmer, who specialized in breaststroke events.[1] At age seventeen, Wang made his official debut for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, representing Chinese Taipei. He swam in the first heat of the men's 200 m breaststroke, finishing in third place and forty-second overall, behind Bradley Ally of Barbados, and Miguel Molina of the Philippines, with a time of 2:20.65.
At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Wang swam in the second heat of the 200 m breaststroke event, against six other competitors, including his former rival Molina. Wang struggled to maintain his crawl and pace in the entire race, but was able to finish it in last place, with a time of 2:17.20. Wang, however, failed to advance into the semi-finals, as he placed forty-ninth in the overall rankings.[2]
