A few days ago, the Aquatics Center of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China officially announced the list of selected athletes participating in the Paris Olympic Games and publicized it to the public. As soon as this list was announced, it immediately attracted everyone's attention and became the focus. In this list, we do not see the name of Sun Yang, the former captain of the Chinese swimming team and a star swimmer in the world. This also means that after being banned for more than 4 years, the comeback Sun Yang completely missed the Paris Olympics, and the Olympic dream was shattered. Sun Yang missed the Paris Olympics, and it also became a hot search topic in a short period of time and became the focus of discussion among netizens. So, why did Sun Yang end up missing the Paris Olympics? Well-known media people have revealed the reason on social platforms, and this matter is not only related to the China Swimming Association.

As the most well-known swimmer in Chinese swimming for more than a decade, Sun Yang once became one of the most representative athletes in Chinese sports. However, at his peak, which was also the golden age of his career, he was directly banned for 8 years by the Court of Arbitration for Sport because of the impact of the off-field doping test and anti-test turmoil, which can be said to basically announce the end of Sun Yang's swimming career. Sun Yang was very unconvinced and appealed, and the final ban was changed from 8 years to more than 4 years. Despite the shortened time limit, Sun Yang's prime career was still spent in a ban, and he also missed the opportunity to create more brilliant swimming achievements.

Being banned for more than four years has not dampened Sun Yang's dream of swimming, and he still wants to be able to create glory in the pool one day. Therefore, even after being banned, he did not give up training and trained almost every day. This can be seen from his current standard figure. After the ban was lifted last month, Sun Yang also excitedly said to the outside world for the first time that he would still return to the pool and would not retire. His biggest dream of making a comeback is to participate in the Paris Olympics, but unfortunately, the Chinese swimming Olympic trials ended before Sun Yang lifted the ban. Therefore, it was reported at that time that if Sun Yang wanted to participate in the Paris Olympics, the Chinese Swimming Association could only make a special event to give the former captain a chance.

However, Sun Yang's Olympic dream was officially shattered when the aquatics center announced the selection of athletes for the Olympic Games. Not being on the list also disappointed fans who like and support Sun Yang, so why did Sun Yang end up missing the list? Some people say that it is because Sun Yang did not participate in the Olympic trials and his results are not up to standard. In fact, this is not the case, because there is one more swimming competition in Italy before the deadline for entries for the swimming list for the Paris Olympics, and by participating in this event, it is possible to achieve the Olympic results if you perform well. However, Sun Yang, who was originally rumored to be competing, did not appear in the list of participants of the event. The reason why Sun Yang finally came out to participate in the competition but did not participate should be that he got accurate information, even if he participated, he would not be on the Olympic participation list.

After the list was announced, the well-known blogger "Sports Industry Review" explained in response to the comments of netizens: Even if I went to participate, there was actually no suspense. Sun Yang is not eligible to go to the Olympic Games, which is not only the requirements of the Swimming Association, but also the requirements of the entire Sports Federation.
