Before this, he had just experienced more than a month of outdoor training in Australia. Under the strong ultraviolet rays, his skin exposed to the scorching sun fell off layer by layer until it transformed into a dark black that made the audience scream.
If I were to summarize my 2017 in one word, what would it be?
“Flying”, he pursed his lips and thought for a moment and said.

Some people say that he can be a world champion with just one stroke; he can be a world champion with just one stroke. Too many people attribute success to the word “genius”, but few people care about what he has experienced.
He didn’t say much about the hard work of training. “onlyOnly by experience it personally can he truly empathize with it”KomiksThe stories carried by new and old scars in all parts of the body were told by him, and he was serious and restrained in his words.
In this arena where he speaks with strength, if talent gives him a very high starting point, then there is no doubt that the acquired character and spirit of hard work are the cornerstones that really prompt him to rush forward again and again to reach the peak.
In January 2014, due to years of soaking in water, Sun Yang’s big toes appeared in severe descent inflammation, with redness, swelling, inflammation and pain, and he finally had to Babaylan performed a surgery to remove the toenails from both feet. In September 2014, during the Incheon Asian Games, when the sprint was full, Sun Yang contusted his left thumb and continued to play after emergency treatment. He tore off the gauze, pierced into the swimming pool, and finally won 3 gold medals. It was not until March of the following year that he found that the bones of the left thumb were misaligned. After conservative treatment, he once again participated in the Kazan World Championships in August with an injury, winning 2 gold and 1 silver. Sunburns and shoulder injuries were common throughout the years. There are also myocarditis and gallbladder polyps, which almost disappeared due to long time immersion in water…
In the Rio Olympics, Sun Yang won the championship with an injury and became the first men’s 200m freestyle Olympic champion in Asia. Before the 2016 Rio Olympics, Sun Yang accidentally broke his right foot during physical training. On the 11th day after the fracture, he went into the water with a fixed stent. He basically had to rely on one leg to water. On the 5th day after the fracture, he reported his safety to everyone, “Life is not just a ‘cup’, but also a swimming pool and a distance. I haven’t lost my training for a day and my abdominal muscles are still there. ”

When I went for a follow-up examination after the competition, I also had a fatigue fracture of the fourth phalanx.” The new injury had not healed and the old injury was added. When talking about his son, his mother Yang Ming’s words were filled with heartache. After the game, Sun Yang wrote in the micro blog: I am not afraid of millions of people stopping me, but I am afraid of surrendering myself.
Break through the limits and surpass the surprises and satisfactions you have received are no less than the glory brought by the gold medal. For him, the championship is just the starting point, and what he enjoys more is the battle between himself and himself.
From breakthrough to dominance
As an athlete, he perfectly interprets what the sports spirit of hard work and enterprising is. Against the backdrop of a strong sports country, we have completed one new breakthrough after another in our life and won glory for our country.
At the 2012 London Olympics, Sun Yang successfully rewrites the history of China’s men’s swimming without gold medals and becomes China’s first men’s swimming Olympic champion. Before and after this, he won the first precious medal in the World Championships and Olympics Chinese men’s swimming relay events with his teammates one after another. The five-star red flag rose slowly over the international arena again and again. He tramples slander under his feet, defends his dignity with his strength, and uses his achievements to shut up the gossipers.
Life is like pull-ups. The more you try your best to impact upwards, the more you can discover more impossible things. In world-class competitions, Sun Yang successfully challenged the limits of human beings again and again.
He is the world record holder of the men’s 1500m freestyle and the record holder of the men’s 400m freestyle Olympics; he is also the only Olympic Grand Slam champion in the history of the world swimming; he is the first person in the men’s 200m, 400m and 1500m freestyle in the history of the world swimming; he is the first person in the men’s 200m, 400m, 800m and 1500m mid- and long-distance World Championships, and is also the only men’s 800m freestyle World Championships in history. The miracle created by Sun Yang is enough to make the world look at it.
In the 2012 London Olympics, Sun Yang won the 400m freestyle championship and broke the Olympic record. In addition, the 1500-meter freestyle world record will be set to increase the original world record you have maintained by as many as three seconds.
From the breakthrough of China’s swimming to the dominance of China’s swimming, the Chinese swimming team represented by Sun Yang, once againThe world proves that China’s sports progress has made the Chinese people proud.
He once wrote on Weibo: What is the most powerful skill in the world? It is persistence.
Learn to swim at the age of 7, join the provincial team at the age of 12, and officially join the national swimming team at the age of 15. Now is his 20th year of perseverance.
Sun Yang’s mother Yang Ming made a rough estimate for the reporter. According to the average training volume of 15 kilometers per day, the trajectory of Sun Yang swimming can circle the earth nearly two times over the past 20 years.
“If you do one line, love one line, and love one line becomes one line. Only with such beliefs can you go more steadily, better and farther.” His words were sonorous, and he was serious and straightforward in the face of the camera’s eyes that never dodges.
The square inch swimming pool witnessed his glory and cleansed his tenderness. When he was particularly tired, he would punch the water and burst into tears. Sometimes I also want to go ashore to change my clothes and leave, and I will never practice again. However, this negative emotion will soon dissolve itself.
He clearly knew that constantly pushing his body to the limit in more rigorous training is his choice.
Behind the championship
Now, China Men’s Swimming has won 15 gold medals in the World Championships, and Sun Yang won 12 of them.
Cinema“It’s like thinking about it now, I dare not think… It’s really not easy to compete in the international swimming world so fiercely.” Sun Yang’s father, Sun Quanhong, lowered his voice to reporters.
Sun Quanhong, who works in sports, knows the difficulties and hardships behind honors better than ordinary people. This simple man, like thousands of Chinese fathers, loves his son with full and tolerant love and will not deliberately praise him in person, but his eyes are filled with Sun Yang’s figure.
Compared with his calm and unspeakable father, his mother Yang Ming was much more aggressive and capable, and has always been a strong backing for Sun Yang during his growth. At 5 a.m., my mother got up at 4 a.m. to prepare breakfast and went into the water for 15 kilometers. My mother followed him to trot for 15 kilometers by the swimming pool. Yang Ming once told his son, “We must do our best to do what we can do in life, Komiks but the training is only up to you.”
The father’s support, the mother’s company, the careful training of the coaching team, and the comprehensive care of the medical team… This kind of strict and meticulous team guarantees Sun Yang’s best condition from the inside out during the game.
Just as Sun Yang is honest many times: “Because of your efforts, I have no reason not to win the gold medal.”
Behind Sun Yang’s success is personal efforts, and the result of silent efforts and full cultivation of every member of the family, team and even the country.
Sports carries the dream of national prosperity and national rejuvenation.
CinemaIn 1932, Chinese athlete Liu Changchun rode a cruise alone and arrived in Los Angeles, USA after three weeks of bumpy seas, representing China in the Olympics for the first time. Before leaving, Wang Zhengting, then director of the China Sports Association Progressive Association, delivered a speech: “I hope you can use your spirit of struggle to make the national flag flutter before all countries in the world.” However, due to the bumpy road, Liu Changchun’s physical strength was greatly affected and he was unable to advance in the end, and he was unable to return to China due to insufficient travel expenses.
Now, the country’s prosperity has long washed away the embarrassment at that time.
In the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Zhang Lin broke the decades of silence of Chinese men’s swimming and won the first Olympic medal in the history of Chinese men’s swimming. There was less than one arm swing gap with champion Park Tae-hwan. After four years, the rising star Sun Yang left Park Tae-heng far behind, winning gold and breaking the Olympic record.
When sports are strong, China is strong, and when the country is prosperous, sports are prosperous. The leapfrog progress of basic major events such as China’s swimming in world competitions means that “China’s power” is blooming slowly in the world sports world. At the beginning of this year, the list of outstanding figures selected in China’s 40 years of reform and opening up was announced, and Sun Yang became the only post-90s selected. As a contemporary Chinese youth and as the captain of the Chinese swimming team, he has shouldered more social responsibilities and role model missions. At the age when he should strive for the most, he interprets the struggle and dreams of contemporary young people with his actions.
He said that the New Year’s wishes are the same every year, which is to strive to surpass yourself, even if it is just for every 0.1 second, because many 0.1 seconds add up to the height of the five-star red flag rising in the international arena. (Text/Sun Xiaoyuan)
