Ning is China's new gold standard

Less than 24 hours after China's Ning Zetao won his third gold of the Asian Games in the 100m freestyle, the lightning-quick 21-year-old from Zhengzhou, Henan province, completed a personal sweep at the Munhak Park Tae-hwan Aquatic Center on Friday night by anchoring his team to victory in the 4x100 medley relay.

China's time of 3:31.37 established a new Asian Games record.

Earlier on Friday, Olympic champion Sun Yang powered to his third gold by winning the 1,500m freestyle, and double Olympic champion Ye Shiwen also captured her third gold at the Incheon Games by winning the women's 200m individual medley.
