'Emotional' Yu, 12, celebrates historic world swimming medal
China's Yu Zidi said she felt "quite emotional" after the 12-year-old became the youngest swimmer in history to win a world championships medal. Yu swam in the heats of the women's 4x200m freestyle relay but missed Thursday's final as China claimed bronze behind Australia and the United States in Singapore. Yu, who was competing in the women's 200m butterfly final on Thursday -- finishing fourth -- received a medal as a member of the Chinese relay team. "It feels quite emotional, it's a nice feeling," she said. Yu has turned heads with her performances in Singapore. She qualified for Monday's 200m individual medley final and finished fourth, missing out on a medal by just 0.06sec in what is not considered her strongest event. She followed that up with another fourth in the 200m butterfly final and will also compete in the 400m individual medley. Yu, who turns 13 in October, discovered swimming at age six as a way to cool off during China's roasting summers. She has drawn historical comparisons to Denmark's Inge Sorensen, who at 12 was the youngest-ever winner of an Olympic swimming medal with bronze at the Berlin Games of 1936. But not everyone thinks Yu should be competing in Singapore. Some in the sport have raised questions about the mental and physical impacts of high-level training and competing at an age when she is still developing as a person. Under current World Aquatics rules, the minimum age is 14 but younger swimmers can compete at the championships if -- like Yu -- they are fast enough. amk/sco

Richardson, Lyles ease through 100m heats at US trials
Reigning 100m world champions Sha'Carri Richardson and Noah Lyles cruised through their opening heats at the USA Track and Field trials on Thursday as they build towards the defence of their global titles at September's World Championships. Both Richardson and Lyles have already booked their tickets to Tokyo due to their status as reigning champions, but are using this week's meeting at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, to hone their form. The charismatic Richardson finished ninth at the Prefontaine Classic at Eugene earlier in July in a modest time of 11.19 sec. But the 25-year-old Texan indicated she is making progress after finishing second in her heat in a time of 11.07sec, behind Kayla White in 10.89sec. Richardson's time was the 11th fastest of the opening heats, where Melissa Jefferson-Wooden impressed running 10.86sec into a 1.5m/s headwind. "Felt amazing to run a qualifying, show fitness and take the rest of the time to get ready for Tokyo," said Richardson, adding that she is comfortable competing while knowing that her World Championship berth is assured. "USA is one of the hardest teams to make, so it definitely is a kind of a release of pressure knowing I have a bye," she told AFP. "It feels really good to not have that pressure and still be able to go to Tokyo." - 'Under the radar' - Richardson meanwhile is relaxed about the fact she will head to Tokyo with other sprinters likely ahead of her in the betting stakes. "Right now I'm cruising under the radar, but when it's time to hit -- it's gonna be a bang where y'all see my name," she said. In the men's 100m, meanwhile, Richardson's fellow world champion Lyles won his heat in 10.05sec, the fifth fastest time of the first round. Lyles told reporters he is using this weekend to get as much racing under his belt as possible, even though he was under no obligation to run given his bye. "I need races -- everybody knows I started the season late due to injury," said Lyles, who was beaten in his first 100m of the season at the London Diamond League on July 19. "I just need as many races as possible. After the 100 in London, me and my coach were like 'We might as well (race at trials)'. It's a free race, it's good competition." Lyles, though, said he has seen encouraging signs that he is rounding back to full fitness. "I just need more races -- I've got to get the engine firing and get that urgency into my body," Lyles said. "But that was just my second 100 of the year; I can't really be mad at that." Potentially the biggest threat to Lyles on Friday could come in the shape of Kenny Bednarek, the two-time Olympic 200m silver medallist who posted the quickest time of Thursday's heats in 9.95sec. In the women's 800m, Tokyo Olympic champion Athing Mu-Nikolayev qualified for the next round second fastest in 2min 0.06sec. Mu-Nikolayev exited last year's Olympic trials in tears after a fall in the final saw her trail in last place, ruling her out of the Paris Games. "I'm glad it was a bit faster rather than being slower," she said. "It felt pretty good. I'm happy with it." rcw/bb

Aussies pip big guns in stunning scenes as Mollie O'Callaghan equals swimming legend
Mollie O'Callaghan has equalled Australian swimming legend Ian Thorpe's record of 11 gold medals at the world championships after anchoring her nation to victory in the women's 4x200m freestyle relay. The Aussie quartet of Lani Pallister, Jamie Perkins, Brittany Castelluzzo and O'Callaghan stormed home to claim gold ahead of their fierce rivals from the USA, with China claiming bronze. While O'Callaghan finished off the relay superbly to see Australia clock a winning time of seven minutes, 39.35 seconds (7:39.35), it was an extraordinary third leg from Castelluzzo that set up victory. After trailing American Erin Gemmell by a full body length, Castelluzzo surged ahead in the final 50m to give O'Callaghan a slender advantage going into the decisive final leg. The Aussie champion still had her work cut out against American icon Katie Ledecky, and clearly looked tired after her swims in the 100m freestyle heat and semi-final earlier in the day. But O'Callaghan managed to hold off the greatest female swimmer of all time to seal a remarkable win for the Aussie team, who were missing two of their Paris Games gold medallists. Brianna Throssell called time on her career after Paris and four-time Olympic Games gold medallist Ariarne Titmus missed the meet after deciding to take a break from swimming. But the new-look team picked up where the Aussie golden girls had left off, with O'Callaghan cemented her status as one of the nation's greatest ever swimmers. "It's everything to me," O'Callaghan said after the relay win left her with three gold medals at these world titles. "I take any opportunity to come and do this event. "I knew I had to lift for this. I'm always here for the relays. "It's a great privilege because it shows the depth that we have. It just shows the depth coming through to LA [the 2028 Olympics], and to start off like this is just incredible." O'Callaghan's wins in the 200m freestyle, as well as the 4x100m and 4x200m freestyle relays, saw her equal Thorpe's national record of 11 golds at the worlds, and she could overtake the Aussie legend with a 100m freestyle final and more relays to come. "Actually, I haven't really thought about it too much," she said about Thorpe's record. "Coming off [the] Olympics last year and having the downs of the break and the post-Olympics blues and then injuring myself, it's just been a rollercoaster. And to come along here and to compete in the finals [and] to get golds is just something I wouldn't believe at the start of the year, or last year." Kyle Chalmers claims bronze in lightning 100m freestyle final Meanwhile, Kyle Chalmers' quest to break the 47-second barrier and claim his second 100m freestyle world title came up just short in one of the fastest finals of all time. The Aussie star claimed bronze in a time of 47.17 which was quicker than his 2016 Olympic gold medal swim and silver medal effort at the Paris Games. But Romanian sensation David Popovici - who had already won the 200m freestyle - made it a double by swimming the second-fastest 100m freestyle time of all time to claim gold. Popovici's blistering 46.51 was just short of Chinese star Pan Zhanle's world record, with American Jack Alexy taking out silver in 46.92. Chalmers said he'd been 'training hard' and 'desperately wanted' to swim sub-47 seconds but was still thrilled to claim bronze. 'To get on the podium is so special,' he said. 'It's incredible. "It was the fastest race in history to make it through that final, and I really believe that anyone could have won that race. We obviously didn't even have the world's record holder in that race, so it was amazing. 46.5 is insane. Crazy.' with AAP
