Recently, Sun Yang announced the resumption of training in the water, and his ban will officially end next month. And Sun Yang's contemporaries rose, the forgotten Ye Shiwen, the talented girl who won two gold medals in the women's 200m individual medley and the women's 400m individual medley at the 2012 London Olympics, after experiencing ups and downs in life, her Olympic journey started again.
At the 2024 National Swimming Championships on April 24, Ye Shiwen won the gold medal in the women's 200m breaststroke and reached the Olympic A standard in the final. This achievement exceeded Ye Shiwen's expectations, but she felt that there was still room for improvement. However, then Ye Shiwen announced that he would withdraw from the subsequent game because of physical discomfort, which made many people worried, what happened to Xiao Yezi?
According to CCTV, Ye Shiwen was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism two days before the expedition, and Ye Shiwen's father cried on the spot: "Originally, the training was very good, and I was quite confident in this competition. Ye Shiwen came to Top Gun to prepare for a big fight, but the hyperthyroidism caused by excessive fatigue and insomnia made it difficult for her body to recover. And hyperthyroidism is also difficult to treat, and the cause of the diagnosis is not easy to say, ordinary people with hyperthyroidism can even be depressed, but Ye Shiwen still has to fight for the Olympic qualification, which is a huge test of her psychological endurance.
Ye Shiwen's father said that Xiao Yezi was expected to compete for the top three in the 400 mixed this time, but the sudden injury hit her too hard: "200 frogs saw my own tears, it's not easy really, I applaud her performance, it's amazing!" And after 8 years, to be able to stand on the Olympic stage again, his father said that he did not have too many requirements for his daughter, "(Olympics) just relax, I think it is a victory to be able to go to Paris." "Sure enough, it is the heart of parents all over the world, others only care about whether you fly high or not, only parents care about whether their children can be happy!
Ye Shiwen and Sun Yang are both talented and became famous at a young age, and in one fell swoop opened the wave of impact of Chinese swimming to the top of the world. But unlike Sun Yang, Xiao Yezi suffered from the problems of development, and later went to school, with age and injuries, it is difficult for Xiao Yezi to return to the peak state. But she has a heart that does not give up, she said that she will adjust well, and she will meet everyone on the last day of the relay race!
