Sun storms to gold in pool

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.
