We were treated to one of the most impressive women’s 200m IM performances in the history of swimming tonight, as 13-year-old Yu Zidi ripped a new Chinese and Asian record of 2:07.41 to top the podium.
Yu’s time erased the longstanding record of 2:07.57 that countrywoman Ye Shiwen established as a 16-year-old en route to winning gold at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. That swim was performed after Ye already smashed a new world record of 4:28.43 in the 400m IM, all before Yu was even born.
Entering these 2025 Chinese National Games, Yu’s previous best-ever time rested at the 2:09.21 she clocked in Singapore this year. That rendered her the 4th-place finisher at just 12 years of age.
There in Singapore, Yu became the youngest swimmer ever to make a final and win a medal at a World Championships.
In addition to placing 4th across the 200m fly, 200m IM and 400m IM events, Yu grabbed bronze as a result of swimming in the prelims of the women’s 4x200m freestyle relay with the final squad ultimately placing 3rd.
Split comparisons among Yu’s previous and new personal bests, as well as Ye’s former Asian record are below. Although Yu opened up quicker in Singapore with 27.43, her backstroke leg and breaststroke leg were remarkably speedier to give her a strong advantage heading into the final freestyle piece.
Yu Zidi‘s New Asian Record – 2:07.41 Ye Shiwen‘s Old Asian Record – 2:07.57 Yu Zidi‘s Previous PB – 2:09.21 27.78 28.25 27.43 32.23 (1:00.01) 32.58 (1:00.83) 32.92 (1:00.35) 37.33 (1:37.34) 37.42 (1:38.25) 38.69 (1:39.04) 30.07 29.32 30:17Yu now checks in as the 9th-swiftest women’s 200m IM performer in history.
