TOKYO (AFP) - China's youngest Paralympian broke her own world record in the pool in Tokyo on Monday (Aug 30), a day after Norwegian former refugee Salum Ageze Kashafali ran the fastest Paralympic Games 100 metres in history.

Dubbed the "Flying Fish", 16-year-old Jiang Yuyan set an S6 50m butterfly world record of 34.56sec in Monday morning's heats, knocking 0.30sec off the mark she set in winning the 2019 World Championships in London as a 14-year-old.
