13‑year‑old Chinese swimmer Yu Zidi won a second Asian Games gold in the 200 m individual medley, setting a Games record of 2:06.
Thirteen‑year‑old Chinese swimmer Yu Zidi captured gold in the 200 m individual medley at the Asian Games, posting a new Games record of 2:06.10, just four‑tenths of a second shy of the world record. She said she was "very excited, very happy" and that the achievement reflected her team’s hard work.
Earlier on the opening day, Yu also set an Asian Games record to win the 200 m butterfly, her first major gold, and noted she was "happier with the second gold medal than the first." The BBC Sport report notes she became the youngest swimmer to medal at the World Championships, taking bronze in the 4×200 m freestyle relay at age 12, and she is being tipped to impress at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
The available reporting provides these performance details and quotes but offers no further information on her upcoming competitions or broader context.
