Sports Warm Winter Creation Season
Sun Yang should be the most dazzling star in the history of Chinese swimming, but due to the "anti-inspection" reason, he was finally banned by international sports arbitration for more than 4 years, and he has missed the Tokyo Olympics, although he has repeatedly stated that he still wants to swim and hopes to stand on the field of the Paris Olympics, but with the Chinese Swimming Association promulgated the "2024 Paris Olympic Games Swimming Selection Measures" , It can be said that the door to the Paris Olympics is basically closed to Sun Yang, but now things have reversed, if Sun Yang really insists on participating in the Paris Olympics, there is only one chance left.
The Chinese Swimming Association's latest promulgation of the "2024 Paris Olympics Swimming Event Selection Measures" can be said to have closed the door of Sun Yang's Paris Olympics, which clearly stated that the Chinese national swimming national team selects Paris Olympic athletes mainly based on the results of the three major events, namely the 2023 Fukuoka World Swimming Championships, the 2024 Doha World Swimming Championships and the 2024 National Swimming Championships, and Sun Yang has no results in these three competitions due to the ban period in recent years.
Secondly, the selection method also specifically states that "athletes who have been banned for more than 1 year due to doping violations are not eligible to be selected for the Paris Olympics", although Sun Yang was not banned for "doping violations", but in fact, everyone understands that it is impossible for the Chinese Swimming Association to make an exception to recruit Sun Yang into the team, so when the Chinese Swimming Association announced this selection method, Sun Yang also wrote on social **".Swimming is an integral part of my life and I will always love it!This sentence seems to imply that Sun Yang has accepted the reality and may face the cause of swimming in a different way in the future.
So why did the Chinese Swimming Association close the door to Sun Yang's Paris Olympics?Three reasons, first of all, in the past one or two years, Sun Yang, who wants to make a comeback, obviously lacks effective communication with the Chinese Swimming Association.
Secondly, the reason why the Chinese Swimming Association gave up Sun Yang is also understandable, because according to the habits of the West, if Sun Yang is really allowed to stand on the field of the Paris Olympics, it will inevitably be made a big fuss by the West, and there will even be swimmers like Houghton and Scott who openly criticize and boycott Sun Yang, which will obviously have a negative impact on the entire Chinese swimming team and even the Chinese sports delegation.
Finally, in recent years, Sun Yang has never participated in any competitions, and even the training is privately trained alone, what kind of level can the state after the comeback can be reached, these are all unknown, all the Chinese Swimming Association weighed again and again, for Sun Yang alone but risked the reputation of the entire swimming national team, it is really not worth it, so from a different perspective to analyze this matter, it is not difficult to understand why the Chinese Swimming Association closed the door to Sun Yang's Paris Olympics.
But now, things have ushered in a reversal, Sun Yang wants to participate in the Paris Olympics There is only one chance left, that is, to represent the Hong Kong, China team in the Paris Olympics, let's first take a look at the FINA regulations for participating in the Olympic Games, as of June 23, 2024, the players have reached the Olympic registration A standard, and the players who have been approved by the relevant national associations can participate, and Sun Yang's lifting of the ban will be in May 2024, that is to say, if Sun Yang represents the Hong Kong team, China, from the perspective of time and approval, it is timely and can be allowed, just look at whether his state and results can meet the Olympic registration A standard。
In addition, Sun Yang and the Hong Kong swimming team of China have had a "fate", in the early years Sun Yang not only received special training in Hong Kong, but also once represented the "Zhejiang Hong Kong United Team" to participate in the National Games, more importantly, Hong Kong has always had a soft spot for swimming in sports, they attach great importance to the training of swimmers, and are also very enthusiastic to accept swimmers from all over the world, at present, this is Sun Yang's only chance to participate in the Paris Olympics!
So does Sun Yang really have no chance to represent the Chinese national swimming team in the Paris Olympics?Yes, strictly speaking, the Chinese Swimming Association completely gave up on Sun Yang as early as October, because in October 2023, the Chinese Swimming Association announced the time of the 2024 National Swimming Championships, which is an important event directly related to whether domestic swimmers can participate in the Paris Olympics, but it will be held in April 2024, and Sun Yang's lifting of the ban will be in May. It was exposed:The Chinese Swimming Association deliberately advanced the time of the event, thus giving up Sun Yang!
The title of the American swim ** "swimswam" is "The 2024 Chinese Olympic Trials have been moved to April, and Sun Yang's trip to Paris has become bleak", why did he use the word "move to", the original time of the annual National Swimming Championships was held in May, but next year's National Swimming Championships was very cleverly changed to April, as for why to avoid May, of course, it is directly related to Sun Yang.
So after understanding these and looking at today's selection methods, it is clear that Sun Yang has no chance to represent the Chinese swimming national team in the Paris Olympics, if Sun Yang really wants to stand on the Olympic stage in Paris, maybe joining the Hong Kong, China team has become his only chance.
