Officially confirmed! 32-year-old Sun Yang made a comeback after 4 and a half years, and the participating projects were exposed, and netizens encouraged them with tears in their eyes

On August 20, Beijing time, the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China confirmed that the 32-year-old Chinese swimming star Sun Yang will follow the Zhejiang team to Hefei to participate in the National Summer Swimming Championships held from August 25 to 28. A source familiar with the Anhui Provincial Sports Bureau said that the arrival of stars like Sun Yang has also increased the security pressure at the competition venue: "The General Administration of Sports specially emphasized that let's improve security measures. ”

It is reported that it is known that Sun Yang may only participate in the 400 self-one, and the details are subject to the actual situation. Obviously, this tournament will be a "test of the waters" battle for Sun Yang to announce the return of the king. And this is also Sun Yang's second appearance in the official swimming competition after 4 years and 7 months.

Sun Yang's last competition was on January 19, 2020, when he competed in the 400m freestyle in Beijing, where he finished first in 3:44.98, before being banned for well-known reasons. On May 28 this year, Sun Yang ended his four-year and three-month ban, marking the restart of his swimming career.

As the most successful swimmer in the history of Chinese swimming, Sun Yang became the first Olympic champion of Chinese men's swimming at the 2012 London Olympics. In the 2 Olympic Games, Sun Yang won a total of 3 golds, 2 silvers and 1 bronze, and from the 2009-2019 World Swimming Championships, Sun Yang won a total of 11 golds, 2 silvers and 3 bronzes.

Seeing that Sun Yang was about to make a comeback, many netizens left tearful messages and heated discussions: "Anyone with a dream is amazing!" "Come on, the king is back!" "It's a huge success to be able to persevere for the past four and a half years!" "Come on, Poplar!" As a Chinese, I support you! ”

Although it may be difficult for the 32-year-old Sun Yang to return to his former peak level after his comeback, we still want to praise the legend for his courage to return to the game and stick to his dreams, and hope that Sun Yang can continue to challenge himself in the future and continue to play his residual heat.
