Hagino crashes Sun and Park's party, lifters break records


INCHEON South Korea (Reuters) - Japan's Kosuke Hagino gate-crashed the much-hyped showdown between Olympic champions Sun Yang and Park Tae-hwan to win the 200 metres freestyle gold at the Asian Games on Sunday, while four more weightlifting world records fell on the second day of competition in Incheon.

A day after North Korean Om Yun Chol lifted more than three times his bodyweight to break the world clean and jerk record, compatriot and fellow Olympic champion Kim Un Guk set new marks in the snatch and total lift to win gold in the 62kg category.
