In the past two days, the Chinese Swimming Association officially announced the list of the national swimming team to participate in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. In this list, Sun Yang was not shortlisted.
The news officially announced that the greatest swimmer in the history of Chinese sports said goodbye to the Olympic arena.
In fact, the news of Sun Yang's absence from the Paris Olympic squad is not surprising. Back in 2020, the flag bearer of the Chinese swimming team was banned by FINA for three years and eight months.
Today, he is a 32-year-old veteran who has seen little movement in recent years and has been a few years since his last appearance on the international stage.
Once upon a time, he swayed freely and rode the blue arena, but today's Sun Yang is no longer powerless.
Despite this, Sun Yang's name still sparked heated discussions in public opinion after the announcement of the list. Many netizens believe that as long as Sun Yang makes a comeback, adjusts his condition, shows his top competitive level, and wins one world championship title after another, he will be able to reverse the doubts and criticism of public opinion.
After all, in most people's memories, Sun Yang is a symbol of never giving up and standing forever.
However, the reality is far more brutal than imagined. Although Sun Yang has been a multi-time champion of the Olympic Games and World Championships, he has now fallen into a state of "long-term absence".
He has not competed in any top-level competitions for several years, and even though he has created a number of swimming miracles, his current competitive ability is unknown, and he lacks sufficient qualifications and results to support him.
And the qualification for the Olympic Games is not a gift that others can give at will, it must be earned by the athletes themselves bit by bit on the field.
After Sun Yang's ban, his influence on the Chinese national swimming team has ceased to exist. In a small Italian invitational tournament in mid-2021, Sun Yang participated in the competition, but he no longer had the dazzling style of the year, which further confirmed his current situation.
With the continuous rise of new swimmers and the replacement of the Olympic cycle, it is naturally difficult for the national team to continue to pin its hopes on this veteran who has been absent for a long time.
Some experts said that Sun Yang's failure to participate in the Paris Olympic squad is an inevitable result, and there is no suspense at all.
Today, the superman who once ruled the swimming pool has long been a human being, and the national team chose to give up the former "ballast stone", which can be said to be a helpless but natural decision.
is invincible at an age, and the hero will have a curtain call sooner or later, which may be the result that Sun Yang is destined to face.
However, there is still no conclusion as to whether the reason for Sun Yang's absence from the Olympic squad is due to special considerations within the swimming association, or whether it is purely based on an objective assessment of Sun Yang's personal state.
Sun Yang himself and his fans seemed reluctant to accept the facts, but since his ban three years ago, the legendary swimmer's career with the national team has effectively come to an end.
Undoubtedly, this is a signal that Chinese swimming has entered a new era. Under the guidance of his late mentor, Sun Yang once led Chinese swimming to its glorious peak.
But now that era has passed, the new generation will be tasked with writing a new chapter. I wish the Chinese swimmers who are about to go to Paris to participate in the Olympic Games can go all out on the blue field!
