The results of Sun Yang's second hearing have been announced, and the ban period has been shortened from the previous 8 years to 4 years and 3 months, and it is determined that he will not be eligible for the Tokyo Olympic Games! In fact, the 8-year ban or 4-year and 3-month ban of the International Court of Arbitration does not make much difference for Sun Yang. Although Sun Yang stressed that he is in particularly good shape and is also very confident of surviving to the Paris Olympic Games, considering that Sun Yang is 30 years old and is basically in the final stage of his career, even if Sun Yang participates in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, he is basically not competitive and it is difficult to achieve good results in the competition!
Although the Court of Arbitration for Sport seems to have reduced Sun Yang's sentence, it actually sentenced Sun Yang to "death penalty"! Not surprisingly, Sun Yang's career is basically over at this point. According to the relevant regulations, Sun Yang will not be able to engage in all swimming activities during the ban period, including as a swimming coach. Does Sun Yang really want to turn to the entertainment industry and become a sports star? Although there are many people who have succeeded in the entertainment industry after retiring from the army, Sun Yang may not want to become a sports star, after all, everyone has their own aspirations.
In fact, long before the Swiss Federal Court announced the revocation of the 8-year ban, Sun Yang had already made plans for the failure of the appeal or for his future! On December 22, 2020, Sun Yang's father, Sun Quanhong, registered 5 companies in just 1 day, covering sports, brokerage, media, technology and other fields, namely: Sun Yang Sports Development (Beijing) Co., Ltd., Sun Yang Brokerage (Beijing) Co., Ltd., Sun Yang Media (Beijing) Co., Ltd., Sun Yang Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd., sun Yang Sports Club (Beijing) Co., Ltd.
It is worth mentioning that although these 5 companies are all opened in the name of Sun Yang, the major shareholder is not Sun Yang, but his father Sun Quanhong. Sun Quanhong owns 98% of the shares of the five companies, and Sun Yang and his mother Yang Ming each account for 1% of the shares of the five companies. But then again, what does it matter if Sun Yang accounts for 1% of the shares of the 5 companies? Judging from Sun Quanhong's layout and the time of opening the company, it seems that Sun Yang's final outcome has been foreseen, and even if he gets the opportunity for a second hearing, it is still difficult to avoid a tragic ending.
Sun Yang's father opened 5 companies in 1 day, which shows his good intentions. Although the registered capital of these 5 companies is only 100,000 yuan each, with Sun Yang's influence in the swimming industry, it is not difficult to make the company bigger and stronger. In fact, even without these 5 companies, Sun Yang can live comfortably for a lifetime by relying on the funds accumulated in his previous career, just like Liu Xiang. Since Liu Xiang retired in 2015, he has not worked for 6 years and his life is still rich and colorful. Do you think Sun Yang still has a chance to compete in the 2024 Paris Olympics?
