Taj Izrin turns past defeats into Asian Games gold
KUALA LUMPUR: Taj Izrin Aiman Taj Madira had lost to some of the drivers he faced at the Asian Games.
Chinese 13-year-old swimmer Yu Zidi has set a new record as the fastest qualifier in the women's 400m individual medley heats for the upcoming Asian Games in Tokyo. Yu has already secured two gold medals in Tokyo, having broken world records in the 200m butterfly and 200m individual medley events. Teammate Zhang Yufei, an Olympic gold medalist and world champion, has noted that Yu's performance is no longer surprising and that her potential is growing.
Despite her young age, Yu has become a major medal hope for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, and her success has garnered significant attention back in China, where her story of being discovered at a water park has gone viral.
