13 Year Old Yu Zidi is at it AGAIN

- Published on Feb 14, 2026
- During the 2025 Swimming world championships Chinese swimmer Yu Zidi, then just 12 years old made HISTORY when she became the youngest worlds finalist in swimming history. She made the final in not just one but THREE events and finished 4th in all of them coming as close as six HUNDREDTHS of a second to an individual medal. In the time after those championships Yu has now turned 13, and apparently ALSO got even FASTER, because during her FIRST event of the Chinese National Games she set a new Chinese and Asian record in the 200 IM.
Here I am just trying not to drown. Lol
When Ye Shiwen won gold in both of her events, many people couldn't wait to call her "drug cheat" and droided up to beat even men. As it turned out, she was never a drug cheat and has continued to swim in great spirit despite never achieving her best again. There was a swimmer in the same events who was two seconds slower, but managed to improve her time by 3 seconds within a year. Then she went on to beat Shiwen's "unbeatable" time by over a second. Who's the cheat? Katrina Hosszu, who held onto the world record for years until McIntosh beat it by almost 1/2 a second. Yet there's not a whisper of drug cheat on Hosszu or McIntosh despite being faster than Shiwen by almost 2 seconds.
That's because those folks calling Ye a drug cheats are a bunch of racists, especially those middle aged white men coaches.....there! the truth.
yeah it is so pathetic.
I almost included a section on that whole “controversy” because it’s just so bizarre. I’m always against doping accusations that boil down to “that’s too fast!” mainly because I think it’s just really lame. But in the case of Ye Shiwen it wasn’t even necessarily the overall time that people pointed towards it was her freestyle splits. Which to me is just an extra layer of annoying since there are so many factors that go into how a swimmer splits different legs of an IM race.
The US, Canadian and like countries were alleging that she couldn't have beat Australian Rice's record unless she doped and that her blood results will show in time, but many years have passed. Her moment was tarnished and no apologies were made.
What more do we need than the purple face army self destroying their own reputations?
They said it is "impossible" when pan zhanle did something with the 100m, but as popovici and Alexis are close to reaching pan zhanle record people seem to forget the "impossible " allegations. Suddenly it's not "impossible " when NON chinese are breaking records.
They meant impossible for the Chinese.
@vestasharp6861 AKA being racist. Absolutely disgusting.
Well yes there's a stigma with China but it's justified when majority of there athletes are caught using illegal substances. Popovici and Alexy are massive guys unlike pan zhanle aswell
@PremiumStreamlivebut ...but... why US athletes face all pink😅😂
@PremiumStreamlive That's not true at all.
Between USA and China, which country has drug problem? If your answer is USA, you got it right! No one beats USA on drug use and drug abuse. Now, you should have better understanding why many comments accusing Chinese cheating or doping without any evidence.
Projecting. They cheat and they assume others cheat like them. The Collective Racist West..
Many people don't get this. USA with it's cunning nature & it's "American exceptionalism," invented medical exception for drug use/abuse for their athletes (in order to legalize cheating, just like their "lobbying" term to government officials and hence won't be criminal or corruption charges) and called it "Therapeutic Use Exemptions" by their government body of U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) not WADA. Needless to say this TUEs are normally and mostly issue to American athletes but also open to athletes that has connection to the US. That's why you can find so many drug cheat (legally) from these American athletes and hence why we witnessed at the last Paris Olympics that many American swimmers turn blue faces at the end of the race.
You have to understand, they have 'asthma'.
Racist West!!!😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sub 2.05 WR within a year. It's her primary growth phase. Still learning how to push herself, she obviously had a lot in the tank with that amazing last 50 sprint.
She eventually finished second in the butterfly.
Every China athlete in this Games is out to make a point. And that is "send ME to the Asian Games next year" (less than a year away). In weightlifting for e.g. they are breaking world records in a direct message to their coaches, I WANT the Asian Games spot.
Yu ZiDi is certain to go to the Asian Games now.
Imagine a mini Olympics in US, athletes compete for their home state. Medal count rivalry between California and Texas will be fun, not politics
The greatest doping nation , US will again accuse china of doping. What's new?
they invented it, after all! How come they don’t claim the Chinese copied? the Chinese had stolen their secrets? Hahaha!
China is rising in every field, big or small.
GOOD JOB YU ZIDI.. 🇨🇳👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👏👍
Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐 👍
After this season I'm done
we don't have the purple face 😀
When a Asian break a record... Hypocrite Westerners will say...he must be doped... Bla bla bla... When a westerne break record will done good job...this is hypocrite and racist reaction from the West...
Doping in America
Purple faces may disagree lol
Not humanly possible ?
Is pan going to be in this meet? Should we expect something?
He’s been swimming at this meet, just won the 100 in a 48.0. Not incredible given his WR time but I feel like it’s understandable if he had a down year after such a breakout success in 2024. We saw literally the exact same thing happen with Popovici after 2022 and look at his times this year.
American dopers, we like all knids of drugs. Ones that pick you up and others that slam you down. We especially love the ones that make people go side ways rapping like Snoop Dogg dancing like Scooby doo. Dont even get me started on alcohol and all the maiming and murdering that happens every day especially on the weekends .
Easy actually.
Be like fish
You become the fish
I hope competing this young at this fierce level won’t affect her growth. TBH, I don’t trust chinese sports committees. They have a habit of sacrificing athletes' potential for temporary political achievement. Pick Yao Ming, for example, they overused him. The level of competition in the NBA is fierce. Yao Ming needs a rest, yet they still ask him to attend unnecessary matches. China's sports committees are not saints, not to bad mouth, it’s just plain facts, just look at its current football and basketball situation. Full of fake game.
they invented it, after all! How come they don’t claim the Chinese copied? the Chinese had stolen their secrets? Hahaha!
Happy Thanksgiving Easter Merry Christmas to everyone!
As a swimming coach, I literally can't believe it. This should not be possible. I can't fathom this.
you can't fathom Pan's 46'40 neither. that's why you are a nobody
U failed 😂
@heartt4444a 13 year old girl swims better than you ever have, ever will or ever could have swum even if you put 100% effort into it. Tell me that is not unbelievable to you.
hello brett hawke
@apollo5261there have been quite some 14 yrs old or so winning worlds or olympics, and would that appear unbelievable to you or you accept that for their race or nationality? Yu attended the worlds this year and there were countless test on her. She passed, and you can shhhh up
every couple of years someone from china blows up to the scene, and fades away just as fast. they have an uncanny ability to destroy their athletes. good luck Yu Zidi.
No, they move onto other things like education and setting themselves up for life as they know that sports is not forever.
@asdfasdf-i1iexcept megastar who can get huge sponsor like lin dan who retired after 36 years old. The other athelete usually looking another job before their peak over
Sure, first accuse them of drug cheats, then when that doesn't stick, then question their humanity. Don't you guys get tired of your own dirty not even subtle racism? It's so 1990's.
@michaellou7101 what are you even talkin'about 😬
China has so many talents, ofc they need to make way for new rising stars....... Common sense bro.
ROIDS she looks like a grown man
If you're a grown man, I hope you don't look like that; I know I don't. But hey, most importantly, her face ain't purple.
Jealousy?
She's not Michael Phelps or Lance Armstrong.
Doping?
innocent til proven guilty
probably
You mean Michael Phelps?
Alright keep your purple faces bruh
Michael Phelps doping and opium
