Chinese swimmer Yu Zidi is said to be the “sensory” after creating the fastest time ever by a 12-year-old boy in an individual 200-meter medley.
Yu recorded a time of 2:10.63 at the China National Championships held at Shenzen on Sunday, finishing second in two Olympic bronze medalists Yu Yiting.
It took almost two seconds from her personal best to watch young YU compete in the semi-finals at last year’s Parisiolmpics.
“Sense alert for 12 years old!” “Yu Zidi swam a burning 2:10.63 at a 200m IM of a Chinese national woman. She swam the fastest ever by a 12 year old.”
Yu, who turned 13 in October, missed out on qualifying for the Parisio Games, but managed to win a spot with the Chinese team at the upcoming World Aquatics Championships to be held in Singapore in July.
She finished second in the 200m butterfly semi-final, tracking the stellar IM performance in the 200m, finishing at 2:08.52 and competed in Wednesday’s final.
China’s national championships are scheduled to begin on May 17th and end on May 24th.
