London: Sun Yang of China has won the 400-meter freestyle at the London Olympics with a comeback win over defending champion Park Tae-hwan, who was first disqualified from the final and then reinstated.

Park was two seconds behind Sun in the final. Peter Vanderkaay of the United States took the bronze medal.
