Three-time Olympic champion Sun Yang is back in the water—and making waves! 🌊 The controversial swimmer secured a spot in the men's 400-meter freestyle final at China's 2024 Summer National Swimming Championships this weekend, clocking 3:54.98 for Zhejiang Province.
This marks Sun's first major competition since completing a four-year doping suspension in May. Fans got a sneak peek of his comeback energy when his studio tweeted 🔥 \"Exceed yourself. Be a fearless swimmer\" earlier this summer.
The Hefei-hosted event—a Class B national competition—features rising stars and veterans alike. Zhejiang's 59-member squad leans heavily on youth, though director Wang Wei confirmed Paris 2024 Olympians Wang Shun and Pan Zhanle skipped this round.
While Sun’s long-term Olympic prospects remain unclear, his performance this week could signal whether the 32-year-old still has the speed to rival Gen Z swimmers. 🥇 Will this redemption arc make a splash? Stay tuned!
