15-year-old Yu Yiting renewed the world junior mark in the women’s 200m individual medley twice in two days at the Chinese National Swimming Championships.
“I smiled for so long that my jaws hurt,” said the Ningbo youngster who was still smiling.
On Tuesday, Yu, who led the 200m individual medley from start to finish, smashed 2:09.64 for the gold medal and set a new world junior record, the sixth-best in the world this year.
Earlier on Sunday, Yu swept 2:09.88 in the heats, replacing the previous mark set by Japan’s Rikako Ikee of 2:09.98 in 2017. Meanwhile, Yu also claimed silver in 100m butterfly stroke following Zhang Yufei.
