Sun back in shape

China’s world and Olympic champion Sun Yang is almost back in shape ahead of this month’s world championships in Kazan, Russia, state media quoted his coach as saying.

“Sun is almost back to his peak. Judging from his training, he is about 90 or 95 percent of his peak form,” said coach Zhang Yadong, according to Xinhua news agency. Sun, who is expected to compete in the 200, 400, 800 and 1500 meters freestyle events, said he was aware of the challenge ahead. “When I was little, I watched Michael Phelps compete in five or six events at a worlds, so I want to try it as well,” he said.
