Hsieh Shu-ting (; born January 2, 1981) is a Taiwanese former swimmer, who specialized in freestyle and butterfly events.[1] She represented Chinese Taipei in two editions of the Olympic Games (1996 and 2000), and later captured a bronze medal in the 4 × 200 m freestyle relay (8:18.92) at the 1998 Asian Games in Bangkok, Thailand.[2]

Hsieh made her first Chinese Taipei team, as a 15-year-old teen, at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. She failed to reach the top 16 final in the 100 m butterfly, finishing in thirty-seventh place at 1:04.39.[3] A member of the Chinese Taipei squad, she placed nineteenth in the 4 × 200 m freestyle relay (8:27.61), and twenty-fourth in the 4 × 100 m medley relay (4:38.90).[4] [5]

At the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Hsieh drastically decided to swim only in the 100 m butterfly. She achieved a FINA B-cut of 1:03.25 from the National University Games in Taipei.[6] Swimming in heat two, she was faster by more than half a second (0.50) to a top speed, from start to finish, in a sterling time of 1:03.52. Hsieh's effortless triumph was not enough to put her through to the semifinals, as she placed forty-first overall on the first day of prelims.[7] [8]
