Sun Yang of China celebrates winning men's 400m Freestyle |
Sun Yang was crowned Olympic champion in the men's 400m Freestyle as he continued to leave an indelible mark on the global stage.
The 20-year-old was second over eight lengths at the World Championships in Shanghai last year before producing a sublime 1,500m Freestyle in which he lowered Grant Hackett's long-standing world record.
He qualified fastest from a dramatic morning session which had seen defending champion Park Tae-hwan disqualified and then reinstated.
South Korean Park was second in the showpiece, with Peter Vanderkaay of the United States third.
