Park is king of the water

Let's admit it. The Republic of Korea's (ROK) Park Tae-hwan is simply a better swimmer than his archrival, Zhang Lin of China.

Witnessing Park storm to three gold medals in individual freestyle events at the Guangzhou Asian Games while Zhang could only manage a bronze, officially ended the dispute over who is Asia's "freestyle king".

Park, two years younger than Zhang, dealt the Chinese severe defeats at the Doha Asian Games four years ago as he relegated Zhang into second place three times en route to winning men's 200m, 400m and 1,500m freestyle events.
