Title: Ning Zetao: The bumpy road of flying fish boys
Lead:
Ning Zetao was once a high-profile flying fish boy in the Chinese swimming industry, but was abandoned by the national team overnight. This article will delve into why Ning Zetao was abandoned by the national team, the difficulties he went through, and his achievements as a swimming talent. Although he experienced dark moments, Ning Zetao still yearns for sunshine, and his story inspires people to strive for excellence and shows the strength of perseverance and courage.
Falling to the dust: from attention to disdain
Ning's outstanding performance at the 2014 Asian Games made him famous and won public acclaim. Not only did he win multiple gold medals for China, but he also became the first Asian athlete to swim 48 seconds in the 100-meter freestyle. In 2016, after an official document from the State General Administration of Sports was released, Ning Zetao was transferred back to the Navy swimming team by the national team, causing an uproar. The official document pointed out that Ning Zetao did not obey the arrangements of the national team, privately received commercial advertisements and refused to participate in the relay competition, which seriously violated the relevant requirements. This incident led to Ning Zetao's criticism and disdain.
The poignancy behind it: power struggles and misunderstandings
In fact, Ning Zetao's private commercial endorsement is not as stated in the official document, he began to endorse Yili as early as 2015, and the cooperation between the national team and Mengniu only began in 2016. This has raised questions about whether Ning Zetao chose to contradict the national team because the two brands are competitors. The truth is that the director of the National Aquatics Center has a close relationship with Mengniu, and he signed contracts with Mengniu instead of the swimming team, including Ning Zetao's personal contract. The director asked Ning Zetao to terminate the contract with Yili to endorse Mengniu, but the breach of contract fee will be borne by Ning Zetao. Ning Zetao refused the request, and the relationship with the director deteriorated.
In addition, Ning Zetao also suffered various injustices. His meal card was inexplicably demagnetized, his dormitory was asked to move, his training was restricted, and he was even called in the middle of the night to write a review letter. Living in such an environment, Ning Zetao could not ensure adequate rest and adequate nutrition, resulting in great physical and mental suffering. Despite his efforts to resist these pressures, his physical condition inevitably suffers. Finally, he released a retirement announcement in 2019, ending his glory days in the pool.
The brilliance and achievements of swimming geniuses
Ning Zetao showed talent and interest in swimming, and through continuous training and hard work, he developed excellent swimming skills. Especially in the sprint freestyle event, his explosiveness and speed are amazing. He often stands out in competitions with his super competitive condition and has won numerous honors for the Chinese team.
Ning Zetao has won a number of important awards and honors in international competitions. He was the champion of the men's 50m freestyle at the 2014 Asian Games and won a bronze medal in freestyle at the 2015 World Aquatics Championships. His outstanding performance has made the Chinese team famous in the international arena and won countless honors for the country.
