Yip Tsz-wa

Yvonne Yip Tsz-wa is a Hong Kong swimmer, who specialized in breaststroke events. Yip qualified for the women's 100 m breaststroke, as Hong Kong's youngest ever swimmer, at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. She set a new Hong Kong record and posted a FINA B-standard entry time of 1:13.02 from the Asian Age Group Championships in her home venue. She challenged seven other swimmers in heat two, including 15-year-old Alia Atkinson, who later became Jamaica's top swimmer. She edged out Iceland's Íris Edda Heimisdóttir to claim a seventh spot by 0.82 of a second, outside her record time of 1:14.53. Yip failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed thirty-ninth overall in the preliminaries.
