Daniel Wiffen made it his business to express just how happy he was for Bobby Finke to have broken the 12-year-old world record that Sun Yang has held in the men’s 1500m freestyle after finishing two places adrift of the American here on Saturday night. Twice.

Sun Yang won dozens of major championship medals, including Olympic gold in London 2012 when his eye-popping time of 14:31.02 was recorded. He served a three-month ban for testing positive for a banned substance two years later.
