Chinese swimming ace Sun Yang won his third straight title in men's 400m freestyle, while Sarah Sjostrom surprisingly broke women's 100m freestyle world record in the team relay event at the 17th FINA World Championships on Sunday.
On swimming's opening day in the Hungarian capital, Sun, ranked second in the heat, set himself on the leading position after 150 meters en route to his third straight champion after 2013 and 2015. It was also the first swimming gold medal at the tournament this year.
Sun clocked 3 minutes 41.38 seconds, the fastest time of the year. Australia's Mack Horton, Rio Olympics gold medalist, finished runner-up at 3:43.85. Gabriele Detti of Italy was placed third with 0.08 second behind.
Sun let off all his pressure by roaring and punching water when he saw the results. Forefinger in the air means that he is still the best swimmer around the world in the event.
"It was not about my opponent's lackluster performance. Maybe I just did better today, and training on some details recently has paid off," Sun talked about his morale-boosting victory.
Sun will also compete in 200m, 800m and 1500m frees at worlds, and he needs to adjust himself quickly before appearing in the 200m heat on Monday morning.
Swimming powerhouse United States kicked off a winning start as they bagged the remaining three golds on Sunday.
In women's 400m freestyle, Katie Ledecky (Center, photo) broke the championships record for the second time in a single day, as her time of 3 minutes 58.34 seconds has bettered that of 3:59.06 in the heat.
Her teammate Leah Smith (Left of photo) ranked second at 4:01.54.
China's Li Bingjie (right), 15, tasted the bronze at 4:03.25 in her maiden World Championships appearance.
Li, regarding Ledecky as her idol, said that she felt both excited and nervous in the water.
"I felt excited because I have got a chance of competing with my idol. However, it was just my first World Championships, unavoidably, I felt a bit nervous," she said, adding that she was not totally satisfied with the result.
Team USA also snatched two golds in men's and women's 4x100m freestyle relay, but Sjostrom grabbed more spotlight even though the Swedish team only finished fifth in the women's event.
Sjostrom, on the first baton, took on 51.71 seconds to break Australian Cate Campbell's previous world record of 52.06 seconds set last July.
The Chinese team, made up of Zhu Menghui, Zhang Yufei, Wu Yue and Ai Yanhan, followed Sweden to finish sixth.
Britain's Adam Peaty, first in men's 100m breaststroke semifinals, was the other athlete that set a new championships record at 57.75 seconds on Sunday. Chinese swimmer Yan Zibei also made into the final.

Sun Yang cruised to win his third straight 400m freestyle world title in Budapest, clocking 3:41.38, pumping his fist and splashing water in his typical fashion.
The Chinese Sun, 25, beat Rio gold medalist Mack Horton by a whopping 2.47 seconds with the fastest time in the world since 2012.
Horton, who edged Sun by .13 at the Olympics, had choice words for Sun both last year and last week, having called the Chinese superstar a “drug cheat” for serving a three-month doping ban in 2014.
“I’m just going to focus on what’s happening this week and do my best,” Sun said through an interpreter, according to The Associated Press. “I have no exact target for the week. I’m in a lot of pain. I’ve been training a lot for the last year. I’m also getting old, so there are a couple of injuries here and there. I’m always wrapped up in tape after every competition.”
Horton swam 2.3 seconds slower than in Rio.
“The most disappointing thing for me was the time,” Horton said, according to the AP. “Placings didn’t really matter this year.”
Italian Gabriele Detti took bronze, just as he did in Rio. The top American was Zane Grothe in seventh, the lowest result by the top American in this event since 1998.
Sun earned his eighth overall individual world title, moving ahead of Grant Hackett and Aaron Peirsol as solo third all time among men behind Michael Phelps (15) and Ryan Lochte (10).
Sun can build on that total in the 200m, 800m and 1500m frees later in the meet. He has won all of those events at past Olympics or worlds.

国际田联钻石联赛摩纳哥站 男子4*100米中国...
腾讯体育讯 北京时间7月22日凌晨2017年国际田联钻石联赛摩纳哥站，谢震业、苏炳添、张培萌领衔的中国男子4X100米接力队，在男子4X100米比赛中战胜美国、加拿大、法国等强队，以38秒19的赛季本队最佳成绩夺冠。
战胜四大欧美强队创造夺冠奇迹
男子4X100米比赛，中国队则是全主力全力出击，中国队派出吴智强、谢震业、苏炳添和张培萌组成的阵容，也是备战世锦赛时的主力阵容。今年成绩突飞猛进的吴智强作为第一棒，谢震业和苏炳添跑第二棒和第三棒，再加上张培萌的冲刺，四个人配合默契，得以最终战胜强大的美国队。今年4月的巴哈马接力世锦赛，苏炳添、梁劲生、谢震业、汤星强组成的中国队以39秒22的成绩摘得铜牌。
本场比赛中国队在第七道，第五道的美国A队由老将迈克-罗杰斯、目前保持本赛季世界最好成绩9秒82的科尔曼领衔，最终中国队以38秒19的成绩夺冠，美国A队38秒30获得亚军，美国B队38秒41获得季军。法国队39秒05获得第四，意大利队39秒37排名第五，德-格拉塞领衔的加拿大队比赛中犯规没有成绩。

苏炳添赛后也发微博贴出自己教练在看台上拍摄的这场接力比赛的视频，并说：“新组合，好开始，世锦赛最后的练兵，队友很给力啊！”美国队虽然明星选手贾斯汀-加特林没有参赛，但迈克-罗杰斯、科尔曼都可以看做是该队今年世锦赛上的接力队主力。而且从个人的绝对实力看，法国、加拿大等队都有大量的精英100米成绩比我们的主力出色，但中国队的四名主力凭借默契的配合和娴熟的交接棒技术，在正式大赛中首次实现了男子4X100米接力同时战胜四大欧美强队夺冠的奇迹。

钻石联赛中国男子4乘100夺冠
中国队夺冠
北京时间7月22日凌晨，2017年国际田联钻石联赛摩纳哥站比赛全部结束，作为伦敦世锦赛之前的最后一项国际顶线赛事，不少今年世界第一位的好成绩都在本站创造。中国选手也有出色发挥，由吴智强、谢震业、苏炳添和张培萌组成的中国男子4乘100米接力队，战胜美国A队、美国B队、加拿大队和法国队等世界强队，以38秒19的出色成绩获得冠军！
中国队在摩纳哥站排出的吴智强、谢震业、苏炳添和张培萌，显然是备战世锦赛时的主力阵容。今年男子100米成绩排名中国第四位的吴智强，成为新的头棒人物，他取代了汤星强。这套组合在今天比赛中发挥完美之极，彻底压制住了美国A队和美国B队，最后以38秒19的今年最好成绩获得冠军，该成绩可以排在今年世界第三位。美国A队以38秒30获得亚军，美国B队以38秒41获得第三。德格拉塞压阵的加拿大队，比赛中失误，未能完赛。
女子4乘100米，中国队启用了陶宇佳、孔令微、韦永丽和梁小静的组合。这套组合不仅人员安排新鲜，排序也新鲜，显然一下达不到成绩要求，中国队最终以43秒78获得第五名。由巴托莱塔、费利克斯、加德纳和布朗组成的美国红队以42秒34获得冠军。
在其他比赛里，南非选手范尼科尔克以43秒73获得男子400米第一，并打破赛会纪录。肯尼亚选手马纳戈伊以3分28秒80的今年世界最好成绩获得男子1500米第一。美国选手贾格尔以8分01秒29的今年世界最好成绩获得男子3000米障碍冠军。
美国选手哈里森以12秒51获得女子100米栏冠军，科特迪瓦的塔劳以22秒25获得女子200米冠军。南非选手塞门雅以1分55秒27的今年世界最好成绩获得女子400米冠军，打破了钻石联赛赛事纪录和摩纳哥站的赛会纪录，还把她自己保持的南非国家纪录提高了0.01秒。美国选手卡特以53秒36获得女子400米栏冠军，肯尼亚的奥布里以8分23秒14的今年世界最好成绩获得女子3000米冠军。
波兰选手里塞克以5米82获得男子撑杆跳冠军。德国选手罗勒尔以89米17获得男子标枪冠军。哥伦比亚选手伊巴古昂以14米86获得女子三级跳远冠军。俄罗斯选手拉西蒂斯科内以2米05获得女子跳高冠军，并创造赛会纪录。

Horton is a loser POS. We all remember his bullshit allegations against Sun Yang during the Olympics last year.
I'm not a fan of Sun Yang as a person, I only like him winning for the PRC.

Horton was eliminated @200m FS race today.
Sun advanced to the final. 孙杨加油！

孙杨400米碾压霍顿后200米又完爆，霍顿200米无缘决赛
时间：2017/7/25 10:04:32
孙杨400米以超过两秒的优势完胜霍顿，直接击败“死敌”夺冠，给国人和自己出了口恶气。不过孙杨教霍顿做人远远没有结束!在刚刚结束的200米自由泳半决赛中，孙杨以1分45秒24获得半决赛第三，霍顿以半决赛第10无缘决赛!今晚，孙杨将在800米自由泳预赛亮相中交手霍顿，记好文末的时间，一起见证孙杨在800米预赛中继续教霍顿做人!
和孙杨比，小肚鸡肠的霍顿实在不中用，不光400米惨败孙杨，霍顿200米自由泳差点半决赛都进不去!
本届游泳世锦赛，孙杨和霍顿都报了200米、400米、800米、1600米自由泳决赛，他们将全部直接对话。在400米自由泳决赛中，孙杨以超过2秒的巨大优势完爆霍顿，拿下了本届游泳世锦赛首枚金牌，在孙杨获得冠军后，他还主动向他的“敌人”霍顿握手，大将风度尽显。在休息了不到一天后孙杨再次出发，在200米自由泳比赛中出战，在预赛中以第一名的成绩晋级半决赛，值得一提的是，一直诽谤孙杨“药罐子”的霍顿只拿到了第11名，惊险晋级半决赛!
孙杨200米自由泳半决赛第三进决赛，霍顿无缘决赛，除了会打嘴仗，拿什么和孙杨比?
世锦赛开始前，霍顿在接受采访时表示：这是一个精英运动员和不干净运动员的比拼，我应该有更好的对手，我不知道我能否赢下孙杨，但希望在领奖时我能俯视孙杨。不过霍顿虽然口吐狂言，但他却没有展现出击败孙杨的实力。他不光在400米自由泳决赛中惨败孙杨，在200米自由泳比拼中也是完败。孙杨在 保留实力的情况下排名第三进决赛，霍顿则拼尽全力无缘决赛!不得不说，霍顿如今拥有的，除了狂妄再无其他。

Sun Yang all class despite thrashing bitter rival Mack Horton at world championships
Chinese star untouchable in 400m freestyle after the Australian’s most recent attempt to rattle his opponent

Sun Yang was gracious following his 400m freestyle victory at the world championships on Sunday as he took revenge over Olympic champion Mack Horton.

Sun clocked three minutes and 41.38 seconds, finishing 2.47 seconds ahead of second-placed Horton, who had previously dubbed his rival a dope cheat prior to beating the Chinese superstar at the Rio de Janeiro Games.
Italy’s Gabriele Detti took bronze as Sun dominated the Budapest final, building on his commanding lead at the halfway point.
Horton had taunted Sun again before the Budapest race, saying it was “a rivalry between clean athletes and those who tested positive”.
The Australian was referring to Sun’s three-month ban in 2014 for taking a stimulant. However, Sun enjoyed sweet revenge at the Duna Arena, giving a triumphant roar when he touched the wall first.
But despite taking revenge after his long-standing war of words with Horton, Sun was gracious towards his rival.
“A long time has passed since Rio, we both got stressed, we both calmed down,” said Sun.
“I made a renewed effort in my training, especially in the last half year. I believe in this event, I will keep doing better and better and so will he.”
Sun’s victory in Budapest means he now has eight world gold medals spanning four championships dating back to Shanghai in 2011.
He has now won the 400m world title at each of the last three championships after his Barcelona 2013 and Kazan 2015 triumphs.
Having had to eat humble pie, Horton said his 400m time in the final was more painful than the actual defeat.
“I thought I would have been faster, the time stings more than losing,” said the 21-year-old. “I thought I was capable of more tonight, I tried to be stronger in the front part of the race.”
China’s Sun Yang looks to fry Australian Mack Horton in grudge return
Sun could finish with four world golds in Budapest with the 200m, 800m and 1500m freestyle races still to come.
“It’s too early to say,” said Sun, 25, when asked if he was targeting four golds, but said he fears none of his rivals.
“There’s not much about my competitors that I am afraid of – it doesn’t make much sense to be afraid.
“Comps are still comps and we can always meet again next time. I am not afraid of losing, if you do, that’s just something you have to deal with.
“I don’t get anxious anymore about the competition, it’s not something you have to take to heart.”
Sun’s winning time was 1.31 seconds behind Paul Biedermann’s world record – set at the 2009 worlds during the era when the now-banned neoprene suits were used.
The Chinese star said he is working towards lowering the eight-year-old record – one of the few which still stands from that era.

“It is a really long process,” he said. “It’s all about training step by step and keep pursuing myself to get better in the 400m freestyle.
“I keep looking out for new ways to enhance my performance, I am satisfied with my progress. I’ll keep doing more training, I think this is the way to break a world record.”

BUDAPEST, July 24 (Xinhua) -- Chinese swimmer Sun Yang made a strong comeback to finish third in men's 200m freestyle semifinals and secured a final spot at the 17th FINA World Championships here on Monday.
Two championships records were shattered, by Sweden's Sarah Sjostrom in women's 100m butterfly and Britain's Adam Peaty in men's 100m breaststroke, respectively.
Sun, who won three 400m freestyle title in a row on Sunday, was restrained to the final position after first two laps, before he came back to finish second in his group and third overall with 1 minute and 45.24 seconds.
"I didn't expect that my opponents swam so fast, and they built a one-second lead after 100 meters," commented Sun.
Sun is expected to face physical challenge on Tuesday as he will compete in 800m free heat in the morning, then the 200m free final in the evening.
Xu Jiayu, who finished just one hundredth second shy of the world record at the National Championships this April, continued his in-form performance in men's 100m backstroke semifinals to sit atop with 52.44 seconds.
"I didn't want to give myself too much pressure before the contest, and just aimed at a better personal record," Xu pointed out.

Another Chinese swimmer Li Guangyuan failed to secure a berth in the final after losing the playoffs to Russia's Kliment Kolesnikov.

Fu Yuanhui, a humorous Chinese female swimmer, might expect huge disappointment as she could not make into the final of 100m backstroke.

She only ranked 13th among 16 semi-finalists with one minute and 0.39 second. Her teammate Chen Jie also crashed out from the semifinals with a deficit of 0.03 second at ninth.

"My training was quite systematic and went well before I came here. I didn't expect to finish the 100m backstroke in such a poor manner," Fu said, also expressing her expectation towards the 50m backstroke competition.
Peaty, Olympic gold medalist in Rio, clocked 57.47 seconds to defend his world title in men's 100m breaststroke, also bettering previous championships record of 57.75 seconds, set by himself in Sunday's semifinals. China's Yan Zibei ranked seventh at 59.42.

One day after breaking the women's 100m freestyle world record in the team relay event, Sjostrom went on to beat the championships record of 100m butterfly with 55.53 seconds. The previous record was 55.64 seconds, she set two years ago in Kazan. It was also her fourth gold medal in the event at worlds. The Chinese swimmer Zhang Yufei was placed eighth.

"I'm surprised by this result, also happy about it. It's my fourth gold in 100m butterfly, and I just feel proud," said the Swedish.
Shi Jinglin made into the women's 100m breaststroke final with her fifth ranking.

The Hungarian crowds enjoyed a wonderful night as local favorite Katinka Hosszu won the women's 200m individual medley champion with two minutes and seven seconds.
"It means a lot to me, and it's incredible to experience with the crowds. It definitely gives you extra energy and motivation. It's just crazy," said Hosszu.
Britain won two gold medals on Monday with Benjamin Proud's triumph in men's 50m butterfly gold with 22.75 seconds.

Yes and Congrats.
I hope he has enough gas in the tank for the 800m and 1500m finals.
He is now level with Lochte @10 golds each in the Worlds, behind M Phelps @15 all-time.

BUDAPEST, July 25 (Xinhua) -- Olympic champion Sun Yang of China won his first title in men's 200m freestyle at the 17th FINA World Championships here on Tuesday.
Placed sixth after the first 100 meters, Sun made a stong comeback to clock 1 minute and 44.39 seconds to record his groundbreaking victory, beating the Asian record of 1:44.47 he set in 2013. It was also his second title in the Hungarian capital after the 400m free.
"I feel happy about the gold medal. Actually I didn't expect such a result, and just wanted to work on every detail," said Sun after his victory.
Sun claimed the golds in the 400m, 800m and 1500m freestyle before his 200m triumph at worlds. He is also the Olympic champion in 200m, 400m and 1500m freestyle.
"I lost the race with a bit pity at World Championships in Kazan two years ago. Today my dream has come true," Sun pointed out.
Townley Haas of the United States and Aleksandr Krasnykh of Russia finished second and third respectively.
Meanwhile Xu Jiayu grasped a gold pc at the 100m backstroke, breaking the Asian Records:

QINGDAO, China, April 12 (Xinhua) -- Backstroke specialist Xu Jiayu broke the Asian record of the men's 100m backstroke at the Chinese Swimming Championships here on Wednesday.
Xu, 21, took the gold of the event in 51.86 seconds, and sliced a big margin from the previous Asian record of 52.24 seconds.
"I thought I might break the national record tonight, but I never thought I could swim into 52 seconds," said Xu who took the silver medal of the event at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games in a national record breaking pace of 52.31 seconds.
Xu trailed behind Ryan Murphy in Rio and his new Asian record is only 0.01 shy of the world record, set up by the American in the medley relay at the 2016 Olympic Games.
"Maybe I could break the world record if I improve a tiny detail. It's unpredictable," said Xu, who attributed his record performance to his confidence. "But I won't think about breaking the record, neither the World Championships nor the National Games. I don't want to put too much pressure upon myself."
Fu Yuanhui, Xu's teammate in both the national and provincial squads, also improved her personal best in the women's 100m backstroke as she set a national record of 58.72 seconds, 0.04 seconds faster than her Olympic bronze medal winning time in Rio last year.
Fu, 21, went all out in the final and got cramp after leaving the pool. "I was surprised by the result. I didn't perform well in the last two days. Then I realized that I should be more anxious for the race," said Fu.
"If I'm not nervous, I could not swim fast," said Fu. "I could hardly sleep while I was trying to adjust my state. And this morning, I felt I was nervous and I even wanted to vomit after having breakfast."
The two records stole the spotlight of Sun Yang partly although the Olympic champion dominated the 200m freestyle in one minute and 44.91 seconds.
Sun's result was 0.26 seconds slower than his winning mark at the Rio Games but was still faster enough for him to clinch the Olympic title as the second-placed Chad Le Clos from South Africa finished the race in one minute and 45.20 seconds.
In the morning session, Sun took the top place of the 800m freestyle heats in eight minutes and 0.66 seconds.
Yan Zibei led the men's 50m breaststroke heats in 27.36 seconds, slicing the previous national record by 0.02 seconds.
The 21-year-old Yan broke the national record of the 100m breaststroke on Monday.
In the other two finals on Wednesday, Hou Yajie claimed the gold of the women's 1,500m freestyle in 16 minutes and 13.37 seconds. Shi Linjing finished first in the women's 100m breaststroke in one minute and 6.94 seconds.

BUDAPEST, July 25 (Xinhua) -- Xu Jiayu claimed the champion of the men's 100m backstroke at the 17th FINA World Championships here on Tuesday, the first ever victory for Chinese male swimmers in the event at worlds.
Xu, who ranked first in Monday's heats and semifinals, built his leading position from the start and finished atop the podium with 52.44 seconds, beating his American opponent Matt Grevers, the London Olympic champion, by four hundredths second.
"I didn't expect to win by such a small margin. The result was not quite up to my expectation, but in the end I won the title," said Xu.
"I felt a little tired in the final part of the race, and did not feel as smooth as in the semifinals, because it had much impact on the podium position," he added.
Xu finished 51.86 seconds in National Championships in April, just one hundredth second shy of the world record set by Ryan Murphy of the United States last year in Rio. Olympic champion Murphy got the bronze medal at 52.59 seconds.
"I performed quite well in the semifinals, so it was normal for me to have some ideas in my mind. Actually I aimed at rewriting the world record before the matchup.
"This time it could be seen as a surprise, and I lived up to my expectation, while failing to give myself some surprises," Xu pointed out.
Before Xu's triumph, Chinese swimming star Sun Yang clinched his first gold medal in men's 200m freestyle at the World Championships.
"I could also stand at the stage center now, just like he did," Xu said confidently.
