Japanese anchor swimmer Daisuke Hosokawa's powerful finish brought his country the men's 4x100m freestyle relay gold in an Asian record time here on Tuesday in the Asian Games.
In the last event on the fouth day of the swimming event, Japan came from behind to win in three minutes 18.95 seconds, beating the previous best by 0.25, set by themselves in last year's world championships in Montreal. It has been the sixth time that Japan triumphed in the event at Asian Games.
Defending champions China were pushed to the second in 3:19.26 before South Korea in 3:22.16.
