The reigning¹ world champions led the race at the first turn and looked comfortable in the following laps as he maintained a narrow lead over Jordan Harrison and Cochrane, although Harrison dropped away at around 400 meters as Connor Jaeger came into the reckoning.

　　By 550 meters McbBroom had also raced up the field and was in second, jut² half a second behind the Chinese swimmer, before Sun Yang began to stretch his lead with around 150 meters remaining.

　　From leading the race by a question of centimeters, Sun suddenly led by meters as the closing three laps saw him give a demonstration³ of his quality.

　　China has now won three consecutive⁴ World Championship gold medals in this event, equaling the winning streak⁵ of the Australian team between 2001 to 2005.

　　Sun Yang has now won two gold medals in this World Championship meet in Barcelona as he won gold in the 400 meter freestyle on Sunday and he must be a favorite to complete a spectacular treble when he races in the 1,500 meters when the event closes on Aug 4.
