About those who are in the middle of a ban
Chinese swimming Olympic champion Sun Yang
The topic of whether he can return to the Paris Olympics
Recently, it has attracted attention from all walks of life
December 22nd
The Chinese Swimming Association released it on its official website
Paris 2024
Selection method of swimming events》
(hereinafter referred to as the "Selection Measures")
According to the "Selection Measures".
Some content requirements and selection time limits
Sun Yang or that's it
Completely missed the Paris Olympics
In the "Selection Measures", the Swimming Sports Management Center of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China elaborated on the selection basis, basic conditions, athletes' qualifications, registration principles, coach selection, and list determination. According to the Selection Rules, athletes are selected based on the results of three events: the 2023 World Aquatics Championships in Fukuoka, the individual finals of the 2024 World Aquatics Championships in Doha, and the results of the 2024 National Swimming Championships.
This is first of all a threshold for Sun Yang, who has been in the ban period and has no record of participating in the competition.
As it has been
Sun Yang may not have a chance to participate in the Paris Olympics
According to past experience and practice, the annual National Swimming Championships are the trials of the World Championships that year, such as the 2023 Championships and Asian Games Trials, which only start in early May. Next year's national championship is scheduled to be held in Shenzhen from April 19 to 27, which ends three days before Sun Yang's lifting of the ban (April 30).
And according to the previous regulations, only the top two players in each individual event in the domestic selection competition and meet the relevant participation standards of the Olympic Games can qualify for the Olympic Games, and for Sun Yang, who is almost impossible to participate in the trials, he naturally has no way to talk about getting Olympic tickets.
There is also a content clause that also indirectly led to Sun Yang's failure to participate in the Paris Olympics. That is, according to the previous regulations of the Swimming Sports Management Center of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China for athletes in the same situation, athletes who were banned for more than one year due to doping incidents in the previous Olympic cycle cannot represent the national team in the Olympic Games in the next Olympic cycle. Although Sun Yang was not banned for being found to have taken doping, he was also banned for procedural and behavioral violations during the doping testing process, and his ban period was far more than one year, so this has made him hopeless.

Swimming is an integral part of my life

Sun Yang said, "I never thought of giving up, I said at that time that I hope everyone will continue to support me, four years is not a long time, I want to stick to it a little longer." ”
When it comes to the topic of "whether to swim or not", Sun Yang is not shy about it, "I have always believed that I should do what I should do with my body and ability, and I am always ready, this is my current psychological state." ”
Sun Yang also revealed that he has not given up training, and has been conducting comprehensive training independently and maintaining a good competitive state, but these training results cannot be tested. "Swimming is not going to be the whole of my life, and one day I will leave the pool, but I have to learn to enjoy swimming and love swimming, it is an integral part of my life. ”
Sun Yang has more roles
In the past time
Sun Yang, who did not appear in the arena
With more characters
He did a live broadcast with goods
I went to Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business to study
Some time ago, it was also with
Rhythmic gymnastics star Zhang Doudou tied the knot
When Sun Yang talked about his love story with Zhang Doudou, he said, "Our two careers are very similar, and she chose to support me without hesitation." The profession of an athlete is generally less together and more separated, and the most attractive thing about her is that she is simple and straightforward, very sincere, and has something to say. ”
Sun Yang believes that "the person who loves you or the person who likes you should face up to your problems and say them directly, just like she said to me - 'I want you to be good before I say these things'." ”
Get away from the field
Let Sun Yang have more time
Try to change roles
Do more thinking

"I want to use my own experience, whether it is achievements, difficulties, or setbacks, to create a platform for athlete organizations to speak out...... For example, if an athlete like me has a problem and he has no way to speak out, I am willing to set up a foundation and give funds to help this group of athletes and give them a chance to speak. ”
Sun Yang also previously said that he would not announce his retirement for the time being. Sun Yang will be 33 years old when the ban expires next year, and it is not yet known whether he will be able to maintain a high level of competitive condition, but Sun Yang feels that "do what you have to do, and when you should bloom, you will naturally bloom." In the long run, I'm not too old, I still have the body and ability, and I can hold on for a few more years. ”
