All eyes on Chinese swimmer Yu Zidi, 12, who takes stunning times to world championships

But her age is only part of the picture. Not only is Yu very young, but her times in three events this year are also among the best in the world.
And here is the kicker: those times would have been very close to medals in last year's Paris Olympics. And she is not yet a teenager.
'I think it's a great story. I don't know where it will lead,' said Greg Meehan, the national team director for the American squad in Singapore.
The world is watching
As promising young swimmers do, Yu is clocking personal bests almost each time she competes. Her PBs are more than just confidence boosters; they put her in sight of records, medals and stardom.

Liverpool v AC Milan: crowds gather at Kai Tak, latest tourism boost revealed
So, here we are, it's time for the business end of the Hong Kong Football Festival, the latest in an increasingly long line of mega-events driving an economic and tourism boom.

Hong Kong officials to discuss adjusting basketball betting limits with Jockey Club
Hong Kong authorities are planning to engage the Jockey Club for discussions on adjusting the maximum betting limits for basketball to provide a regulated channel for such activities, as the government moves to legalise wagering for the sport. Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs Alice Mak Mei-kuen said on Saturday that lawmakers previously suggested the government review the maximum wagers for basketball as they scrutinised the Betting Duty (Amendment) Bill 2025. She said the Jockey Club, which is set to become the sole licensed basketball betting operator, currently had limited wagers for legal offerings for other sports. Horse racing and football bets are capped at HK$50,000 (US$6,370) per individual wager. Each betting account has a daily total stake limit of HK$500,000. 'The bill provides a legal framework under which the home and youth affairs chief is empowered to issue licences for betting activities. When these licences are issued, licensing conditions can be included,' she told a radio programme. 'We will later discuss with the Jockey Club to assess the technical feasibility and how to handle it so that we can provide a regulated and limited channel for betting, and the public will engage in controlled gambling.'

Hong Kong's Oliver Xu and Ma Kong-san drafted into Chinese Basketball Association league
Hong Kong basketball players Oliver Xu and Ma Kong-san have found their way into the Chinese Basketball Association league after both were selected at the CBA Draft on Saturday. Xu, 29, was selected by Nanjing Monkey Kings with the No 9 pick in the opening round, while Ma, 24, was picked up by Sichuan Blue Whales in the second round, with the overall No 22 pick. Nanjing and Sichuan finished 12th and 19th, respectively, in the 20-team league last season. The 1.90-metre (6 feet 2 inches) Xu, who plays as a guard, joined the Japanese 3 side Iwate Big Bulls at the start of the year, averaging 10.6 minutes, 4.0 points, and 1.6 rebounds in 26 matches. The Hong Kong international went to the United States in July to feature in the Drew League – a pro-am basketball league held every summer in Los Angeles, California – and did not return to Qingdao for the draft. This year's Chinese Basketball Association Draft was held in Qingdao. Photo: Handout Ma, who had played professionally in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan previously, had spent the past two seasons with local A1 Division side Shung Tak Eagles. He was at the Guoxin Gymnasium for the draft and the 2.08m centre went onto the stage to put on a Sichuan cap after his name was called.
