Recently, Sun Yang has once again become a hot search figure. It's not that he has any hot topics in his main business of swimming, but some of his operations in live streaming. Yes, you read that right, Sun Yang can now be called a live streamer. Perhaps, he and his team already knew that this was the inevitable path. After all, the news from the Swiss Supreme Court has made it clear to him and his team that it basically takes a miracle to return to the pool. Switzerland's Supreme Court officially announced that the final appeal of Chinese swimmer Sun Yang has been dismissed. The 4-year and 3-month suspension period is no longer possible. According to the calculation of time, Sun Yang will officially lift the ban at the end of May 2024.
When it comes to Sun Yang, I believe that everyone is no stranger. For a long time, Sun Yang can be called a world-class superstar in The Chinese sports world. Many people may disagree with this, although Sun Yang is indeed a little less popular in some behaviors, but it cannot be denied his status in the world swimming world. Sun Yang is a swimming genius, at his peak, almost a big devil in the middle and long distance events, he has won a lot of honors for the country. However, during a flight drug test, one of his irrational behaviors completely ruined his swimming career that could have been more brilliant. In the end, a hat of resistance was fastened on the head, and the ban was naturally inevitable.
Banned for 8 years, I have to say that this ban is indeed too fierce, and this result is equivalent to announcing Sun Yang's retirement. Naturally, Sun Yang, who aspired to achieve more achievements in the swimming career, was very unconvinced, so Sun Yang appealed. The second hearing was held on May 25, 2021, and at this hearing, Sun Yang's side made great progress in this fully enclosed hearing, and his ban was shortened from 8 years to 4 years and 3 months.
However, although it seems to have reduced the time by almost half, this is still difficult for Sun Yang, who is already 30 years old, to accept. After all, the ban is still more than 4 years away. Therefore, Sun Yang appealed again. And this appeal is the final appeal. Sun Yang's final appeal is almost the last attempt to his swimming career. However, this time, Sun Yang's side did not wait for the desired result. The Swiss Supreme Court finally decided to keep the 4-year and 3-month ban unchanged. Not only that, Sun Yang's team also needs to pay 15,000 Swiss francs (about 103,000 yuan) related legal fees. The final judgment of the Swiss Supreme Court means that the dust has settled on Sun Yang's anti-prosecution case, which has lasted for almost two years.
For this result, it is actually an expected result. So, will Sun Yang continue his swimming career? Prior to this, Sun Yang has repeatedly publicly stated that his goal is the 2024 Paris Olympic Games and to achieve good results in the Paris Olympic Games. Judging from the time of the ban, Sun Yang can catch up with the Paris Olympics. After all, he lifted the ban at the end of May 2024, just in time. However, judging from the current situation, will Sun Yang still fulfill his promises?
It has to be said that it is difficult, almost unlikely. After all, there are still more than two years to go before the lifting of the ban in 2024, and such a long time without systematic training and formal competitions means what it means for a veteran, I believe Sun Yang knows better than outsiders. If Sun Yang finally gives up his swimming career and no longer fulfills his promises, it will not be surprising. What's more, today's Sun Yang, his focus has long been on being an Internet celebrity, live streaming with goods. That is to say, there may have been a glimmer of hope for the lifting of the ban, but now that the official results are out, his transformation is inevitable.
In fact, Sun Yang's transformation is also reasonable, after all, he can't engage in swimming, he also needs to have his own other life. It's just that such a swimming genius, finally quit the swimming career in such a form, is indeed a helplessness.
