|The Straits Times
Chinese 12-year-old swimming sensation Yu Zidi could be the brightest young star at the 2025 World Championships in Singapore after producing a string of eye-popping performances this week.

BEIJING -
Yu, in her striking "doggy" swim cap, rounded off a sensational China national swimming championships in Shenzhen by winning the women's 400m individual medley by almost two seconds on May 24.
Roared on by packed crowds, she crushed a quality field in a lifetime best 4min 35.53sec.
Yu's time was comfortably inside the world qualifying standard of 4:43.06, the fifth-fastest time of 2025 and would have been good enough for fourth place at the Paris Olympics.
Second was Chang Mohan, who touched more than a body length adrift in 4:37.33, followed by Li Bingjie in 4:38.66.
