    Yunnan's Chen Mingfu, who had won the men's 10,000m event on Monday, was second at 13:58.84. Zheng Kai from Shandong was third at 13:59.23.

    Sun's victory means that he and twin brother Sun Wenli each won a gold at the Games here. Sun Wenli claimed the title of men's 3,000m steeplechase on Monday.
