Have you looked at the comparisons of her stats to Yu’s? We’re talking two years younger and times that are basically an order of magnitude in difference. And she was still basically internationally fast last year at 11:

She is 15 seconds faster than Summer McIntosh was at the same age. I would love to see her times prior to and including the 2023 national competitions that articles keep referencing. I think the reason it’s easy to be skeptical is that we can access times for any American swimmer going back to their 8&u days and see how their big drops may have correlated with puberty, club changes, workout group changes, coaches, etc. As someone who can’t read Chinese, I don’t have the ability to access Yu’s swim history with any similar level of transparency.
