Standing on a high place can be cold, and throughout the ages, individuals who have become top talents in their fields have inevitably experienced controversy.
Liu Xiang, Yao Ming, Tian Liang, Sun Yang ......These decades-old athletic talents have all experienced controversy in their careers, and the world of sport is no exception.
The previous athletes, after going through many difficulties, finally won respect with their strength and character, which is different from others.
Sun Yang is the only athlete who has fallen from the original national idol status and has now disappeared, which is very regrettable.
There are many who believe that he overturned because of doping. When Sun Yang first became famous, he actually had a lot of negative news.
How did he gradually find his own "dead end"?
Sun Yang, a native of Zhejiang, was born in 1991. His father was a volleyball player in the Anhui Sports Team, and his mother was the main player of the Zhejiang women's volleyball team.
As a child, he perfectly inherited his father's height advantage, as the proverb goes, "a tiger father has no dog", so he was much taller than his peers at a young age.
When he was in kindergarten, he was often mistaken for an elementary school student because his parents often took him out to play.
Since 1997, Sun Yang has formed an indissoluble bond with swimming.
His initiation coach Zhu Ying was preparing to select potential students in the kindergarten that year.
They plan to select 120 out of thousands of children for focused development.
Someone told her that when she was asking around about ** there were good seedlings: "There is a child in the nearby kindergarten, and he can't sleep in the bed!."”
After Zhu Ying heard this, she immediately hurried to the kindergarten and saw 6-year-old Sun Yang for the first time.
The practice of swimming Xi has high requirements for talent and physical condition, especially height is a basic factor.
As soon as she saw Sun Yang, she immediately determined that the child in front of her was the person she was looking for.
At that time, the bed in the kindergarten was only one meter four long, but Sun Yang could only sleep curled up, which was enough to show that his height at that time was close to one and a half meters.
Soon, Zhu Ying contacted Sun Yang's parents, and after getting their consent, she took Sun Yang away.
Sun Yang was too young, and he missed home very much after arriving at the sports school, and quietly ran home after only a month.
Yang Ming stared at his son's petite face distressedly, so he suspended his plan to cultivate him.
Coach Zhu Ying is unswerving, unswervingly lobbied them, and never gave up.
Under her persuasion, Yang Ming began to indoctrinate Sun Yang, and eventually succeeded in convincing him.
In the sports school, his life was full of hardships, because the coach and his mother had extremely high requirements for him.
They once stipulated that Sun Yang had to abide by a rule: if he swam well, the coach would drive him home;If he doesn't swim well, he'll have to run back on his own.
Yang Ming was eager for his son to succeed, and even in the scorching heat of the sun and the temperature reached 42, he still had to inflict the necessary punishment.
Sun Yang knows how hard training can be, but once he really appreciates the charm of swimming, he falls in love with the sport.
He swims at least 20,000 meters a day, but he never gets tired.
Sun Yang was selected by the Zhejiang Provincial Team in 2004 and quickly achieved excellent results in the competition due to his excellent performance.
In 2005, he won three gold medals in the men's 400-meter medley, 200-meter freestyle and 1500-meter freestyle at the Provincial Games, which impressed industry insiders.
Sun Yang won the championship when he debuted, but he was just a naughty child at that time.
Outside of training, he often likes to play tricks on others, such as sneaking the team help staff into the water.
He would report to the coach and point out who was falling short when doing backflips.
She would also constantly complain about her mother: "My mother is like a tigress at home......
Sun Yang was selected by the national team after three years with the provincial team, when he was only 16 years old.
His career has since flourished and quickly attracted attention.
Sun Yang won the gold medal in the men's 800m freestyle at the 2011 World Aquatics Championships in Shanghai, one of his achievements after competing in several world competitions.
After winning his first world title, Sun Yang seemed to become invincible, performing well at the London Olympics, breaking the world record in the 400m freestyle.
Sun Yang suddenly swept the country and became an idol of "all eyes on him". Off the field, his commercial value was on display to the fullest.
Sun Yang's worth has doubled, and he has become a sweet spot in the eyes of merchants and TV stations, and various advertising endorsements and publicity activities have followed. Everyone found that Sun Yang's life was far from being as beautiful as everyone imagined.
Sun Yang has always grown up under the protection of his mother and coach, and since he was a child, his life has been nothing but training and competing.
He got his first taste of national team success and his mentality began to change subtly.
Perhaps in order to escape his mother's control, Sun Yang, who was emotionally blank, once talked about an "online dating" before winning the championship.
The girl claimed to be a rich second generation, and the two quickly became like-minded, and their conversation became lively.
Even though Sun Yang was training abroad at the time, he always maintained close contact with the girl.
Soon after, she told the boy that there was an emergency at home and that she needed money, and hoped to borrow 20,000 yuan from her.
Sun Yang, a young man with little social experience, felt very anxious, but because his finances were managed by his mother, he could not access them for the time being, so he had to borrow money from friends.
His first love came to an end silently, and it turned out that the "rich second-generation girlfriend" completely disappeared with the money.
Sun Yang did not come to his senses because of this failed relationship, and soon after he fell in love with a flight attendant.
In 2010, Sun Yang flew to Australia on Air China for training, and met Li Yingnian, who was six years his senior, on the plane.
Sun Yang was deeply impressed by Li Ying's tall figure, beautiful appearance, and gentle temperament.
Mother Yang Ming coincidentally did not participate in that training trip, so the two had the opportunity to meet on the plane, and soon developed eye-brow feelings, and finally left each other's ***
After Sun Yang arrived in Australia, while receiving training, he kept in touch with Li Ying, arranged the opportunity to meet in private, quickly confirmed their relationship, and made the relationship public on social platforms.
At that time, Sun Yang was on the rise in his career, and this incident caused a strong reaction from his coach and mother.
Coach Zhu Zhigen bluntly stated that he believed that being in love would have a negative impact on the performance of athletes, so he advised them to break up.
Yang Ming thought about it in many ways, firstly, because he was dissatisfied with the woman's older age, and secondly, he was worried that she would affect his son's career, so he immediately sent them a breakup notice.
Because of the strong opposition of his family, Sun Yang's love affair with this space ended.
It wasn't until 2016 that there was a progress in this matter, and the gossip ** photographed Li Yingnian appearing with a five or six-year-old boy.
A person familiar with the matter broke the news that when the man's mother objected, the girl was pregnant, and the boy was the child of Sun Yang and Li Yingnian.
According to the news, Sun Yang's parents have an extremely critical attitude towards women, and prompted the two to break up by providing a mansion and a high breakup fee.
Sun Yang's head coach responded after hearing the rumors: "I don't know anything about it. His agency firmly denied this statement, and Yang Ming, who usually spoke actively in front of **, remained unusually silent this time.
Subsequently, Sun Yang deleted a post that seemed to hint at everything.
It was impossible to confirm whether the rumors of Sun Yang and the flight attendant were true, but the World Champion's reputation has since been on the decline.
Vanity Fair is like a mirror, when huge interests pour in, the contradictions between Sun Yang and the coach also begin to surface.
Love is the root of this incident, and when Sun Yang and the flight attendant began to fall in love, Zhu Zhigen was firmly opposed.
He criticized his beloved apprentice with a fierce attitude and ordered him to sever all contact with the flight attendant.
Sun Yang had a taste of love for the first time at that time, and his personality was very rebellious, and he was dissatisfied after being reprimanded, and expressed his reluctance to practice Xi with Zhu Zhigen in a fit of anger.
Zhu Zhigen felt tormented in the face of his apprentice's resistance, and watched Sun Yang, who had been with him for nine years, lose his coolness, and finally left with sadness.
After changing coaches, Sun Yang's state did not improve, and his mother's opposition to his relationship made him depressed for a while.
After the breakup, his state declined significantly, and he often used his rest days to play around, go to night clubs, and live a life of indulgence and carnival.
It's unbelievable that he actually got to know another flight attendant girlfriend during this time.
This new girlfriend is also an unreliable person, and she has been causing trouble for him with Sun Yang.
During his love, he was out for a ride with his new girlfriend in an SUV and accidentally collided with a bus.
After the incident, the bus driver took the initiative to take responsibility and expressed his willingness to compensate 5,000 yuan. As is often the case, if a celebrity gets into a traffic accident while they are out and about, it is supposed to turn a major incident into a small one.
However, Sun Yang's girlfriend held a different view, she thought that the compensation amount was too small, so she called the police to deal with it.
* When they arrived at the scene, they found that Sun Yang did not have a driver's license, so they took him back to the detention center. After the incident, he had to make a public apology, which caused his image to be greatly damaged.
Because of the continuous decline in his form and the occurrence of an unlicensed driving incident, Sun Yang was subsequently ordered by the national team to stop all training and business activities.
Over the years, Sun Yang has been unsatisfactory in many public appearances, with the exception of his private life.
Anta, the sponsor of the national team, wanted him to take a group photo in corporate attire after the 2013 National Games.
Her mother, Yang Ming, was adamantly opposed to the proposal and made a fuss at the venue on the spot, citing the fact that "Anta is sponsoring the entire national team, not Sun Yang." ”
After the team negotiated with the merchant, Yang Ming finally agreed to let his son wear a corporate sportswear. However, Sun Yang kept covering the signs of the merchants with the national flag in the stadium, which completely angered them.
Sun Yang's mother and son and Anta completely turned their faces because of this incident, and the relationship between them became very tense and unpleasant.
On many occasions in the future, such as when he went on stage to receive an award, Sun Yang would deliberately cover the brand logo as long as he wore Anta's clothing.
The mother's intervention not only changed Sun Yang's life, but also disrupted the rules of business.
After a series of events, he was finally called "Ma Bao Man" by everyone.
At that time, the leaders of the General Administration of Sports appealed: "You should let go of Sun Yang's private life and stop interfering too much in his son's affairs." ”
His mother was the one who caused the tragedy in his life.
Despite the chaos of Sun's private life, his reputation can still be restored as long as he performs well on the court.
After being questioned, he trained hard and put on a good show in the big arenas.
However, in 2014, he fell into the most difficult period of his life because of the drug test scandal.
In May 2014, a news story about Sun Yang being banned for three months by the Chinese Swimming Association attracted widespread attention during the National Games.
According to reports, Sun Yang was found to have taken trimetazidin, a banned drug that was added to the banned list in early 2014, according to reports.
His gold medal was attacked by netizens, complaining that there was moisture.
Sun Yang saw all kinds of words on the Internet, so he closed his door for three days, neither eating nor drinking.
After a long time in the making, he finally gave an official response.
Sun Yang's team explained at the time that he had been suffering from heart palpitations since 2008, and after examination, the doctor prescribed him the drug, which he did not know was listed as a prohibited substance.
The storm of questioning the drug test results quickly subsided, and Sun Yang began normal training again.
Although the misunderstanding has been clarified, netizens are still suspicious of him, and some even gave him the nickname "Sun Yaowang".
It was a painful time for him, but he trained hard to prove himself and got back to the top of his form, and then went on to achieve notable results in many major tournaments.
Sun Yang seems to have shaken off the shadow of the illicit drug crisis, and he has begun to forget the ** doubts that have been with him all along.
During the Olympic competition, many unpleasant things happened between him and Horton.
There were many people who firmly supported him at that time, and Sun Yang quickly recovered with strong support. After the competition, he participated in many shows, but his performance was not as good as it could be.
He mentioned Horton again at the "Tucao Conference", and he spoke with an arrogant attitude.
Sun Yang's excited and rash behavior showed his childish side.
His career was booming in those years, and he was about to reach the second peak of his career, but the unexpected struck quietly.
On September 4, 2018, Sun Yang took a "violent resistance" against the staff who came to the doping test.
The move has attracted a lot of attention from the sports world, as it is believed that they are behaving unruly here.
Sun Yang is currently questioning the identity and documents of the staff member in many ways, and expressed his views through **, but the other party's WADA company still decided to sue him in court.
Before the hearing, Sun Yang's mother privately approached two of the three testers in the name of "gathering relevant information and asking for help" in an attempt to impress them through emotional influence.
Sun Yang's mother made a temporary replacement before **, replacing Liu Chi, a top lawyer in the sports industry, with Zhang Qihuai.
In 2020, the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled on Sun Yang's violent protests: "8 years ban!."”
For professional athletes, this result is undoubtedly a death sentence.
After several appeals, Sun Yang finally managed to get a more desirable result for himself: "The ban was shortened to four years and three months." ”
Although the time has been greatly reduced, there is still no hope for him as he approaches the age of 30.
He vowed that he would continue to set sail in the future!
He also stated to ** that he will continue to train until the 2024 Paris Games.
Sun Yang verbally expressed his expectations for Qihang, but instead of focusing on training and competitions, he indulged in the live broadcast room, which is really regrettable.
Since the beginning of 2022, he has been integrated into the ranks of the army of goods.
Although many netizens expressed their understanding, believing that "athletes also need to eat".
Sun Yang's live broadcast mode then appeared, which surprised many.
In front of the lively backdrop, he dressed up and sat quietly, holding a sign that read "The number of people to 30,000 take off sunglasses".
A smile hung on the faces of 50,000 people, while 80,000 kept smiling and a smile, and some of the 100,000 people had already spoken......
The immersive live broadcast method looks novel, but combined with Sun Yang's title of Olympic champion, many netizens also shouted: "It's so low-level!."”
Despite the unanimous negative sentiment among the public, Sun Yang seems to be determined.
In the following live broadcast, he personally explained the product and provided a one-stop trial bargaining service, which seemed to be at ease, indicating that he was determined to move forward firmly on this road.
It is a deep pity to see the rise and fall of a legend in the swimming world, from glory to trough, and finally reduced to live broadcasting!
Everyone has their own ambitions, and I hope that Sun Yang can adjust his attitude and provide high-quality services to fans and consumers with his heart.
