China’s Sun Yang had won gold at London and was World Champion in 2013 and 2015, but the event was considered wide open. Other challengers were Britain’s James Guy and American Connor Jaeger, while the hottest swimmer early in 2016 had been Australian Mack Horton, posting 3:41.65 in April.

Horton continued his hot streak, winning gold in 3:41.55, bettering his world leading time, with Sun taking silver. The bronze surprisingly went to Italy’s Gabrielle Detti, while Jaeger and Guy finished 5-6, respectively, also trailing American Conor Dwyer.
