Ning Zetao, a former swimmer who has been 31 years old since he was born in 1993, has been full of twists and turns in his career. Although 31 years old is not too big for many, for Ning Zetao, this age marks the fifth year since he retired. Looking back on his decision to retire at the age of 26, it still makes many sports viewers feel sorry.
Ning Zetao's reasons for retirement are widely known. With his outstanding results and handsome appearance, he was once in the limelight, and even surpassed Sun Yang for a while and became the focus of the sports world. There was a constant stream of advertising endorsements and commercial activities, but these activities also led to his temporary expulsion from the national team. When he was ready to return to the game, he had no resources left, and the national team even asked him to change his sport. All these unfavorable conditions eventually prompted him to choose to retire.
After retiring, Ning Zetao became the target of many national sports groups, and they invited him to naturalize. However, born into a military family, he resolutely refused these invitations. Contrary to speculation that he might enter the entertainment or live streaming world, he has opted for a relatively low-key lifestyle, only occasionally attending luxury brand events endorsed by him.
The 31-year-old Ning Zetao, the most worrying thing for his parents is his relationship and career belonging. Although there have been scandals with Zhang Yufei of the swimming team, these have not become true after all. In his career, Ning Zetao seems to have found a new direction. He recently announced that he will be participating in the 2024 Volvo China Open Qualifying Tournament at the Yinxiu Golf Club in Shenzhen. This marks a new beginning in his career, and although golf is very different from swimming, Ning Zetao is passionate and looking forward to it. We believe that his new career path will be eye-catching, and his former comrade-in-arms Sun Yang will also send him sincere blessings.
