Chinese swimmer Sun Yang triumphs in his return to competition after serving a four-year suspension for doping | Olympics Update

Three-time Olympic gold medallist Sun Yang has made a successful return to competitive swimming after completing a 51-month doping ban. Despite the controversy surrounding his ban, Sun won the men’s 400m freestyle final at the Chinese National Summer Swimming Championships. The ban, originally set for eight years by WADA, was reduced on appeal to four years and three months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Sun expressed his desire to qualify for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and reflected on his past victories and failures, stating they taught him how to face life’s challenges. The 32-year-old swimmer, who was the first Chinese swimmer to win Olympic gold in the 400m and 1500m events at the 2012 London Games, is determined to continue his career despite facing criticism and controversy throughout. Sun’s comeback marks a new chapter in his career as he looks to qualify for future Olympic Games and continue his success in the pool. His victory at the Chinese National Summer Swimming Championships is a reminder of his talent and determination as he aims to overcome obstacles and continue competing at the highest level.
