Sports Briefing | Swimming: Chinese Dominate Again at Asian Swimming Championship

The world-record-holder Sun Yang won a third gold medal at the Asian swimming championship in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to cap another day of Chinese dominance in the pool.

Sun, a four-time Olympic medalist, won the 1,500-meter freestyle in a championship record time of 14 minutes 44.10 seconds, far short of his world record time but enough to easily win the race.

He was among eight Chinese to take gold in nine races, including the Olympic silver medalist Lu Ying, who won the women?s 100 butterfly for her second gold. Japan?s Kazuki Kohinata won the 200 breaststroke in a championship record time of 2:12.13 for his second gold. The Chinese set four championship records, including one by 13-year-old Xu Danlu, who won the 400 free in 4:05.75.
