The 30-year-old led all the way to win the race in one minute and 55.35 seconds, surpassing the Olympic qualifying time. Zhang Zhanshuo placed second and He Yubo ranked third.

Wang had previously competed in three Olympics: London, Rio and Tokyo. Paris will be his fourth Olympics.
"I hope I can be more relaxed and achieve a better result this time," Wang added.
