The flame of the Paris Olympic Games has been extinguished. While we are still immersed in the wonderful performance of the Olympic athletes of the Chinese swimming team, the countdown to the 2024 National Summer Swimming Championships has entered. Although the championship is a national B-level event and it is unlikely that all the Chinese Olympic team will participate, the attention of the game has been completely attracted by an "old friend", who is Sun Yang .
With less than a week before the game, Sun Yang’s fan site announced the time, place and ticket price of the National Summer Championship. The competition time is from August 25th to 28th, and the location is the Hefei Sports Center Swimming Pool. In terms of ticket prices, the preliminaries are 30 yuan, the finals are 60 yuan, and the 4-day pass for 8 games is 200 yuan. It will be officially sold through the relevant website at 12 noon on August 20. Of course, what is more attractive than the event preview content itself is the account "Sun Yang Chinasun White Shark Station" that released the information. For a B-category event, the fan site released a preview, which seemed to reveal to the outside world that Sun Yang's return debut was coming.
Sun Yang is the most outstanding athlete in the history of the Chinese swimming team. He has won 3 gold medals and 2 silver medals in the Olympic Games. He also won 11 gold medals in the World Championships and was crowned MVP of the World Championships twice. He also holds the former world record in the 1,500-meter freestyle and the Olympic record in the 400-meter freestyle. In the post-Zhang Lin era, Sun Yang is the absolute king of middle and long distances. However, Sun Yang's achievements have also aroused dissatisfaction among European and American athletes and media. They have repeatedly boycotted Sun Yang and even expressed their protest by refusing to take a group photo. Anti-doping organizations have also been keeping an eye on Sun Yang.
Finally, Sun Yang paid the price for his youth and impulsiveness. Due to smashing the sample in the urine test and his immature performance during the hearing, Sun Yang was first suspended for eight years, and then was reduced to 4 years and 3 months. Sun Yang missed the Tokyo and Paris Olympic Games as a result. This is absolutely a devastating blow to Sun Yang at his peak. But Sun Yang did not give up on himself. He persisted in training, and during this period of time he cultivated himself, gained love, and got married to Zhang Doudou. As the date of lifting the ban approaches, Sun Yang has also become active on social media to pave the way for his comeback.
Now that Sun Yang is 33 years old, it is probably unrealistic to expect Sun Yang, who has been away from the national team and the competition for more than 4 years, to break records like he did at his peak. Even whether Sun Yang can wear the national team jersey in the future is still unknown. But Sun Yang still insists on returning to the competition just to prove himself and demonstrate his love for swimming. Perhaps the former Sun Yang was not perfect, but his achievements are indelible, not to mention that he has already shouldered the consequences for his mistakes. Let's hope together that in the next game, Sun Yang can stage the return of the king.
