Sun expected to rise in Olympic pool

Swimming

In the pool, Chinese swimmers should make a big splash after the confidence they gained at last year's FINA Shanghai World Championships, and Sun Yang has emerged as the team's new leader.

The 20-year-old broke Australian Grant Hackett's 10-year-old world record in the 1.500m in Shanghai, and will try to scoop another gold in his duel in the 200 and 400 against Korean world champion Park Tae-hwan.
