Recently, the 2021 Asian Best Male Athlete has been announced, and the winner of this honor is Chinese swimmer Wang Shun. But what is surprising is that many domestic netizens do not buy it, and even predict that Wang Shun is the second Ning Zetao of the Chinese swimming team. After winning the best athlete in Asia, Wang Shun also shared his joy with everyone on his personal social platform, but netizens took sides and commented on Wang Shun. Entering the new season, Wang Shun will meet greater challenges. In addition to age, the strong rise of European and American athletes in the men's medley event will also pose a huge threat to Wang Shun.
In just a few days, the topic of whether Wang Shun is worthy of Asia's best athlete has only increased. In the comments of netizens, the most direct hit is, "I'm afraid it's the second Ning Zetao"! The chinese swimming team is already a well-known problem, Wu Peng, Yu Hexin, Xu Jiayu, Ning Zetao and now Wang Shun, all of whom have quickly circled fans in the swimming arena with their outstanding appearance. Especially after winning the world championship, attending commercial events, variety show invitations, media interviews, shooting brand endorsements, etc., let them enjoy the pleasure of winning the gold medal.
The previous Ning Zetao is a typical example. After winning the men's 100m freestyle title at the Kazan Swimming World Championships, this handsome young man became famous and was called the "national idol" of sports! After becoming a dragon and phoenix among people, in the face of overwhelming temptations, Ning Zetao failed to adhere to the basic bottom line as an athlete. In order to frantically seek gold, he even gave up systematic training and closed training of the national team.
Ye Jin, the head coach, once said with chagrin in an interview that after Ning Zetao received unprecedented attention from the outside world after becoming famous, not only was his training disrupted, but his thoughts and mentality also flew away. Although Ning Zetao has long been rich, when it comes to the world champion of the Chinese swimming team, he is a negative teaching material. This time, Wang Shun became the best athlete in Asia, and the tragedy of the Chinese swimming team was once again brought to the table. Some people say that the Tokyo Olympic champion is a new peak in Wang Shun's career.
But at the same time, it is unknown whether the athlete concept of "walking off the podium and starting from scratch" can still maintain the athlete concept after enjoying the glory of the championship. Wang Shun was the first in history for the Chinese men's swimming team to win a gold medal in the medley and broke the 17-year monopoly of the U.S. team in the event. At the previous Swimming Short Pool World Championships, Wang Shun suffered Waterloo and failed to stand on the podium in both events, which also made everyone worried about his journey in paris cycle. What do you think of the topic of netizens thinking that "Wang Shun may be the second Ning Zetao of the Chinese swimming team"?
