Another FLASH!

There's a new distance king and his name is Sun Yang. China's Sun broke Grant Hackett's 1500 LCM world record in Shanghai on the final day of World Champs. Read more at Swimming World here.

Sounds like a pretty good kid:

"I was not obsessed with the world record before the final," Sun said. "I just wanted to focus on my plan. My goal was to win gold. I'm so grateful to the whole Chinese team, including my coach and parents. I think the world record belongs to all of them."

Sun was 2+ seconds behind WR pace with a hundred to go. Watch him run down that red line in this condensed video:
