Previously, Sun Yang was eventually banned for four years and three months for violating anti-doping rules, which will last until the end of May 2024.
The "2024 Paris Olympic Games Swimming Event Selection Measures" officially released by the Chinese Swimming Association clearly states: "Athletes and related support personnel who have had doping violations, in accordance with the requirements of the anti-doping management regulations of the General Administration of Sports of China, athletes and auxiliary personnel who have been banned for doping violations for more than 1 year (excluding 1 year) shall not be selected into the national team in any capacity and will not be eligible for selection." ”According to this rule, Sun Yang was disqualified from being selected for the national swimming team and participating in the Paris Olympics.
In addition, the selection method also clearly mentions that the results of the 2024 National Swimming Championships are the results of the trials, and next year's national championships are scheduled to be held in Shenzhen from April 19 to 27It ended just three days before Sun Yang's lifting of the ban (April 30).
According to past experience and practice, the annual National Swimming Championships are the trials of the World Championships of that year, either the Olympic Games, the World Championships, and sometimes the domestic qualifiers for the Asian Games, which are held from the end of March to the beginning of May. For example, the 2023 Championship and Asian Games Trials will only start in early May. Judging from the timeline, it seems that Sun Yang still has the possibility of participating in the upcoming Paris Olympics. However, as soon as this selection method came out, this competition period was equivalent to cutting off Sun Yang's path to Olympic qualification through domestic trials.
This afternoon, Sun Yang posted: Swimming is an inseparable part of my life, and I will always insist on loving it.
As far as Sun Yang is concerned, he will not announce his retirement for the time being. In an interview a few months ago, Sun Yang revealed to the outside world that he has not given up training, has been conducting comprehensive training on his own, and has maintained a good competitive condition, but these training results cannot be tested. Even if he can't compete in the Paris Olympics, Sun Yang is still likely to participate in the National Championships, National Championships, National Games or Asian Games. However, Sun Yang, who turned 32 years old at the beginning of December this year, still has a chance to draw a successful end to his swimming career?
