NOS23 September · 13:5519 hours ago

Thirteen-year-old Chinese swimmer Yu Zidi won three gold medals at the Asian Championships in Nagoya, Japan. She secured victories in the 200-meter butterfly, 200-meter individual medley, and 400-meter individual medley, where she finished with a time of 4:28.56. This performance placed her five seconds behind the world record held by Canadian Summer McIntosh. Yu previously earned a bronze medal for China in the 4x200-meter relay at the 2025 World Championships after receiving special dispensation from World Aquatics to compete below the standard minimum age of 14. Analysts expect Yu and McIntosh to compete against each other at the 2027 World Aquatics Championships in Budapest and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
