China's Sun storms to 1500m freestyle gold

Olympic champion Sun Yang powered to Asian Games gold in the men's 1,500 metres freestyle on Friday, giving the Chinese giant a third gold medal this week.
World record-holder Sun clocked a time of 14 minutes, 49.75 seconds while South Korea's Park Tae-Hwan finished out of the medals, leaving the local hero winless in his four individual events.
Japan's Kohei Yamamoto took silver in 14:54.86 with China's Wang Kecheng well outside the 15-minute mark.
Sun arrived on deck sporting his gold headphones and Park, who has admitted to suffering from nerves competing in a pool named after him, appeared to shrink in his presence as he lined up alongside.
The hot favourite, who also captured gold in the 400m freestyle and 4x100 relay, never trailed. He was two body-lengths clear of Yamamoto by the midway point and pulled away to defend his title with plenty left in the tank.
Stunned by an early loss to Japan's Kosuke Hagino in the 200m last weekend, Sun controversially took a sly dig at the Japanese national anthem in mid-week, adding spice to the race build-up on the final day of the swimming competition.
