SHANGHAI, July 27 (Reuters) - China’s Sun Yang won his first world title on Wednesday when he stormed to the gold medal in the men’s 800 metres freestyle.
The 19-year-old Sun, fast emerging as the heir apparent to the now retired Grant Hackett’s mantle as the world’s dominant long-distance swimmer, clocked seven minutes, 38.57 seconds to win ahead of Canada’s Ryan Cochrane, who took silver in 7:41.86.
Hungary’s Gergo Kis won bronze in 7:44.94.
