On August 26, Beijing time, at the 2024 National Summer Swimming Championships, Sun Yang won the championship with a time of 3 minutes 49.58 seconds. He won the championship in his first comeback, proving that he did not slack off during his 4-year ban!

In February 2020, the International Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that Sun Yang failed to comply with the World Anti-Doping Agency regulations and sabotaged anti-doping sampling, and was banned for 8 years. His ban was later reduced to 4 years and 3 months.

Sun Yang's suspension was not officially ended until May 28, 2024, nearly 4 years and 6 months after he was banned. During this time, he had no formal professional coach, could not conduct formal professional training, could not participate in competitions, and even had to pay for the hotel's swimming pool. So how did he spend his day?

According to media reports, Sun Yang starts physical training at noon every day, and then completes the planned water training until 7 pm. Adding the time for subsequent treatment, it is already 10 pm when he returns home.

In this regard, Sun Yang said: "I basically spend most of my time in the swimming pool every day. In the past four years, my overall training support is not as good as before, especially in terms of medical care and treatment. I can maintain a good health condition, so I think it is very good and not easy."

Not only has Sun Yang not slacked off for the past four years, he also has to endure pain. His knees and shoulders have been injected with injections nearly 30 times, especially his shoulders, which have been injected nearly 20 times.

Fortunately, everything was finally over. Sun Yang won the championship in his first show after his comeback and cried with excitement. His tears were an expression of his true feelings. The championship was the greatest reward for his perseverance.
