Jin Hao

Jin Hao (; born 6 February 1979) is a Chinese swimming coach and former swimmer. He competed in the 2000 Summer Olympics and was a bronze medalist for the 100 metre butterfly at the 2002 Asian Games.

Career Jin is from Zaozhuang, Shandong. He competed at the 1997 National Games of China, where he was a gold medalist. Shijun Diao of the magazine Chunqiu Birmonthly called Jin "swimming prince" in a 1998 profile. Jin competed at the 2000 Summer Olympics in three events: men's 400 metre freestyle, men's 1500 metre freestyle, and men's 400 metre individual medley, where he ranked 25, 32, and 25, respectively.

Through her lawyer Lin Yaoqiang, the Shanghai woman referee Chen Xia accused Jin and three fellow Shandong swimming team teammates of kicking her to the floor and assaulting her on 15 October 2000, during the Chinese National Swimming Championships, causing her to be hospitalised for cerebral hematoma. According to Lin, they attacked her after she called a security guard to help after they cornered chief referee Dou Xuanguan when he told them they were disqualified from the competition for not registering in time. In an interview in October 2001, Jin said the half-year suspension he received was unfair because it was another teammate who assaulted Chen, not he.

By 2005, he was a swimming coach. He said that being a coach was a lot more exhausting than being an athlete owing to having to attend to athletes' needs and there being more things he has to take into consideration. He considered himself retired from competing in the sport, but Shandong asked him to compete in the 2005 National Games of China, giving him two months to get ready. At the competition, he received the bronze medal for the 100 metre butterfly. In an interview, he said, "Winning the bronze medal does not show how strong I am, but that China's overall strength in this event is really poor." She was China's first gold medalist in open water swimming at the FINA World Championships. Jin was a Shandong swimming coach during the 25th Provincial Games in Shandong Province held in 2022 and was a member of the coaching team that determined which athletes should be chosen to join the provincial team to train for the National Games.
