At the Tokyo Olympics, Wang Shun won the 200m medley final, which was the first time that the Chinese swimming team won the Olympic gold medal in this event!
This makes many people can't help but think of his brother Sun Yang, the Chinese men's swimming in the World Series won a total of 19 gold medals, Sun Yang won 14 alone!
If he had not been banned for 4 years and successfully participated in the Olympic Games, the Chinese team would definitely have added a few more gold medals...
From the world record holder and national idol to the ban and everyone shouting, what has Sun Yang experienced? What is the truth behind the negative events?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6">1</h1>
Sun Yang was born on December 1, 1991 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang.
The name is a combination of the parents' surnames, the parents were also volleyball players, Sun Yang also inherited the parents' sports genes very well, and grew particularly tall from an early age.
When he was in kindergarten, he was bigger than the children in the kindergarten, and he didn't have a suitable bed to sleep on his lunch break.
By chance, this matter reached the ears of Zhu Ying, a swimming coach, who went to see Sun Yang in kindergarten, and then took the 6-year-old to school to learn to swim.
However, at that time, Sun Yang was relatively young, did not have much interest in swimming, and ran home not long after learning.
But Zhu Ying did not give up, she repeatedly looked for Sun Yang's parents, hoping that Sun Yang would continue to practice swimming.
To this end, she also lied a white lie: "I told Sun Yang's mother that if you play basketball, it is best to be more than 2.15 meters tall; if you play volleyball, it is best to be more than 2.05 meters tall." Judging by the height of you and Sun Yang's father (1.88 meters), Sun Yang's height will not exceed two meters in the future. So for him, practicing swimming is a better option. ”
Just when Sun Yang's parents took him to measure his height, experts predicted that he would grow to 1 meter 93 in the future, which made Sun Yang's parents finally move their hearts, and in the summer vacation before going to primary school, Sun Yang was sent to swimming training classes again.
In the training, Sun Yang himself really fell in love with swimming, and his talent was gradually revealed.
In 2004, Sun Yang was selected by coach Zhu Zhigen and entered the Zhejiang Provincial Swimming Team.
In 2007, 16-year-old Sun Yang officially entered the national team.
In 2010, at the Asian Games in Guangzhou, he won the men's 1500m freestyle championship and successfully broke the Asian record.
In 2011, at the Shanghai World Aquatics Championships, he won the 800m and 1500m freestyle competitions.
Sun Yang became the first Chinese athlete to win the men's swimming event at the World Championships and the first Chinese men's swimming double at the World Championships.
In the 12th London Olympic Games, Sun Yang was even more majestic, winning the 400 meters and 1500 meters freestyle championships!
He became China's first Olympic champion in men's swimming, breaking the history of no gold medals in China's men's swimming event.
It can be said that Sun Yang is the first person to rewrite the history of Chinese swimming, which has proved to the world that we can also be very good in swimming!
Suddenly, Sun Yang became a rising star in the swimming world, a national idol sought after by everyone, with unlimited scenery.
At this time, a series of storms and controversies also followed, and Sun Yang soon fell into the whirlpool of public opinion...
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="91">2</h1>
First of all, 12 years later, Sun Yang completed the first training to prepare for the Universiade and was exposed to playing a big card.
His mother also angrily rebuked the reporter, did not let the shooting, and said that she was "annoyed to death" and "hated to die", and her attitude was very bad.
Later, Sun Yang also came forward to clarify, saying that what his mother did was for her own good, and I hoped that everyone would understand.
Soon after, on December 18, 2012, Yunnan Life News published an article titled "Olympic Champions Have High Popularity and Tempers."
It is very impolite to say that Sun Yang clashed with reporters, grabbed cameras, ordered the deletion of photos, and exploded foul language.
However, Sun Yang denied it, saying that he did not scold people, but made up and framed himself, saying that he would pay more attention in the future.
"Playing big cards" and "rough mouth doors" made netizens change their impression of Sun Yang, and many negative comments came to the face.
At the beginning of 13 years, Sun Yang was exposed to love again, the girl was called Li Yingnian, 6 years older than Sun Yang, the profession was a flight attendant, and she looked very beautiful.
Sun Yang later admitted it.
The girl Li Yingnian also responded in a high-profile manner on Weibo, saying that Sun Yang's love allowed her to bravely face public opinion, and the woman in love was the most beautiful.
Subsequently, on February 1, the media reported that Zhu Zhigen criticized Sun Yang for not training well because of his object, and Sun Yang also confronted him: "Your training is too backward, I will not practice with you."
Zhu Zhigen can be said to be Sun Yang's enlightenment coach, and he has paid all his efforts and energy to Sun Yang in the past 9 years, and it can be said that sun Yang has obtained a military merit medal, and there is also a part of Zhu Zhigen.
At that time, Sun Yang was exposed to frequent attendance at various business activities, did not carry out systematic training, and even did not return home many times.
At that time, he was also punished and criticized.
On April 15, Sun Yang and Zhu Zhigen clashed again, and this time the two men fought fiercely.
Soon after, Sun Yang changed the coach, Zhu Zhigen no longer took him, and was replaced by Zhang Yadong.
Sun Yang admitted in the show that he hopes to be respected and does not want to be treated like a child by the coach.
On November 3, 2013, Sun Yang drove a white Cayenne and collided with a bus, and the bus was originally fully responsible and promised compensation.
As a result, the passenger who was riding with Sun Yang was dissatisfied with the claim, so he took the initiative to call the police to request processing, and the passenger was revealed by netizens that it was Sun Yang's girlfriend at the time.
Then, when the police arrived, they found that Sun Yang did not have a driver's license at all, and was subsequently sentenced to 7 days of administrative detention.
He was also punished by the team for "three suspensions", namely suspension, suspension, suspension of social and commercial activities.
Sun Yang apologized
There is also a very controversial drug test storm, in 15 years, Sun Yang was banned for 3 months because of a positive urine test.
In fact, it was because he was diagnosed with viral myocarditis and was taking drugs to treat the heart, which contained the banned ingredient trimetazin.
This ingredient was included in the prohibited list in January 2014, but in the "Guidelines for the Use of Therapeutic Drugs for Athletes" issued in 2014, it is allowed to use... This manual is faulty.
Later, Sun Yang also proved to the World Anti-Doping Agency that these facts showed that Sun Yang was completely fine.
But many netizens, including athletes from other countries, do not buy it, from explosive foul language to love, coach conflict, driving without a license, banned for 3 months... Sun Yang has been pushed to the cusp of the storm many times, where should he go at this time?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="92">3</h1>
Although he has experienced many negative storms, Sun Yang knows that the best way to fight back against these rumors is to speak with strength.
At the 16 Rio Olympics, Sun Yang won the 200-meter freestyle competition, becoming the first men's 200-meter freestyle Olympic champion in Asia.
He became the first swimmer in the history of our country to combine the men's 200m freestyle, the men's 400m freestyle and the men's 1500m freestyle Olympic gold medal! It's really awesome!
That year, Sun Yang also frequently appeared in variety shows, participated in a total of 10 variety shows, and his popularity soared, earning a lot of money.
Talking about when to retire, he said: "I will swim until I am 31 years old, swim to the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, and let the national anthem play at my doorstep!" ”
It was hard to get rid of all kinds of storms and get back on track, but I didn't expect Sun Yang to usher in a fatal blow and directly fall to the bottom...
In september 2018, the flight drug test, the flight test will have a surprise check by the staff to see if there is any doping.
FINA issued a 59-page detailed report on Sun Yang's incident:
During the inspection, three people came to Sun Yang's home, of which only the inspector had documents, and the other two people did not have the documents of the international doping management organization IDTM.
In addition, Sun Yang also complained about the inspector, and there was a conflict between the two people.
Sun Yang expressed doubts at that time, what if the tester did not bring a full certificate and moved his hands and feet in the blood? Sun Yang may face a lifetime ban! Caution must be taken!
Although Sun Yang had doubts, he still cooperated with the work, took urine and drew blood, but asked the other party to send a documented assistant to take it.
But the inspector refused, and his assistant secretly took many photos next to him.
In this way, the scene was out of control for a while, and later Sun Yang's security personnel used violence to open the safe deposit box with a hammer and take away the blood sample.
Although Sun Yang has done this out of proportion, he has been actively cooperating with the investigation, but only asked the other side to come to a reasonable and legal staff.
In January 2019, FINA ruled that the inspection was invalid and that Sun Yang had not violated the World Anti-Doping Regulations.
Later, Sun Yang's mother explained it like this.
But the World Anti-Doping Agency, unhappy with the outcome, appealed.
At 5 p.m. on February 28, 2020, the Court of Arbitration for Sport announced that Sun Yang would be banned for 8 years.
On the same day, Sun Yang expressed his dissatisfaction and wanted to continue to appeal.
The final results were announced on June 22, and the eight-year ban was reduced to four years and three months.
He didn't have the opportunity to participate in the Tokyo Olympics and the Asian Games on his doorstep, but this is the best result that Sun Yang can strive for.
Instead of faltering in the face of the ban, he actively prepared to participate in the Paris Olympic Games in July 2024.
But whether it will be able to participate smoothly is still unknown...
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="93">4</h1>
In fact, after the two drug test storms, Sun Yang suffered too much criticism and injustice, and in the 18th Swimming World Championships in 19, Sun Yang won the 200 meters and 400 meters freestyle championships.
When taking pictures of the award, silver medal winner Horton stood under the stage with his hands behind his back, refusing to walk on the podium and refusing to take an intimate photo with Sun Yang.
Scott, another British player, also refused to take a photo with Sun Yang, saying that Sun Yang did not respect the sport of swimming, so all athletes would be like Horton and would not respect Sun Yang.
The Herald Sun, a well-known Australian media, publicly expressed solidarity with Horton, saying that Horton refused to share the stage with drug crooks.
The Media such as the United Kingdom and the United States have also made such a statement.
Some domestic netizens are indiscriminate, but also all kinds of shelling Sun Yang, which is really chilling.
Although he has made mistakes, Sun Yang's achievements are solid, breaking the hegemony and monopoly of foreign swimming projects for many years, and he has paid too much for swimming.
In 14 years, Sun Yang underwent surgery for paronychia on both feet and could not get wet.
But in order to prepare for the Incheon Asian Games, he frantically trained physically, losing 22 pounds in a month.
Before preparing for the Rio Olympics, Sun Yang accidentally fractured his right metatarsal bone and could only walk on crutches.
On the 11th day, he went into the water with a fixed bracket to train, and paddled on one foot with a protective gear.
He has fought for too many honors for his country, and is still the world record holder in the men's 1500m freestyle and the Olympic record holder in the men's 400m freestyle!
We can't forget that!
The bureau once said: "Being bullied by others, being bullied by foreigners, there is no problem, we can resist." But we can't be bullied by our own people! Those slanderous words come out of their own mouths, which are even more chilling than foreigners! ”
Don't let Sun Yang feel cold anymore, don't wait until we completely lose him, only to find that we owe him a sincere "sorry"!
Finally, an interaction, do you like Sun Yang? What do you think of Sun Yang's series of behaviors? Do you think he is innocent of the drug test storm? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section.
