The Tokyo Olympics are a new watershed in China's sports world, with Quan Hongchan, Su Bingtian, Yang Qian, Sun Yiwen and others becoming the trendsetters of the new era of Chinese sports, while the former "Chinese sports brother" Sun Yang will not be able to compete for a long time because of the ban, and his popularity has also been affected by some.
On June 22, 2021, the Court of Arbitration for Sport announced that Sun Yang's 8-year ban was reduced to 4 years and 3 months (i.e. 51 months), and from February 28, 2020, Sun Yang not only missed the Tokyo Olympic Games, but even the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games held on his doorstep was doomed to miss. Although Sun Yang could not enter the national team training competition, the ban did not stop his love for the pool.
Recently, on the social media, Sun Yang posted a video of himself returning to the pool to swim, sun Yang also jumped up in the water to compare hearts to everyone, like a cheerful dolphin, showing his super water mobility. Some netizens teased and pointed out a path for him: "What a place! Want to go to Flower Tour? Sun Yang really responded: "You see I have this potential!" "It seems that if the rules allow, Sun Yang may really want to go to the flower tour team to try the mixed doubles, where the beauty is like a cloud, maybe Brother Yang can still find true love!"
Seeing that Sun Yang had restored his former style, some netizens sent him blessings: "Brother Yang, we are happy when you are happy, Brother Yang, do you know that you are the idol of many of us, thank you for always encouraging us!" And Sun Yang was also impressed by the fans' inseparability and publicly thanked him, it is precisely because so many people support Sun Yang as always, a brother can persist until now and not retire.
On the closing day of the Tokyo Olympic Games, Sun Yang once gave a video interview to Liu Jianhong, who said that he had plans to retire when he was just banned, but he still couldn't give up his love for the pool, so he hadn't thought about whether to retire. As for whether he can participate in the Paris Olympic Games, Sun Yang does not dare to give a promise. But Dabaiyang also said that if he has the conditions, he hopes to open a swimming school to train more swimming talents for China, hoping that he can achieve his wishes!
