China's Sun Yang
Beijing - Arab Today
China's long-distance expert Sun Yang retained his 800m freestyle title at the world swimming championships on Wednesday. The 23-year-old clocked seven minutes, 39.96secs, but was pushed all the way as Italy's Gregorio Paltrinieri swam a new European record at 0.85 secs back as Australia's Mack Horton took bronze at 4.06. This was Sun's second gold in Kazan having also retained the 400m freestyle title he won in Barcelona two years ago, but had to settle for silver to Britain's James Guy in the 200m freestyle final on Tuesday.
