On April 3, Beijing time, the mascot of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games was officially released. A group of cute robots named "Jiangnan Yi" appeared, which attracted the attention of many Chinese. In the live broadcast of the organizing committee, Luo Xuejuan, Zhou Xun, Han Meilin, etc. all appeared one by one, but the former "Hangzhou name card" Sun Yang did not show up at all. From the Asian Games spokesperson two years ago, he has now been suspended. Being "abandoned" by his hometown also indicates that his hope of appealing to reverse the case is very slim.
The 2022 Asian Games will be held in Hangzhou, China. This is the third time that the Asian Games will be held in China. On April 3, the Hangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee officially released the mascots. The mascots are a group of robots named "Jiangnan Yi", named: Cong Cong, Lianlian, and Chen Chen. They look very cute. Three The little guy also sent an invitation to the world, and the Hangzhou Asian Games also entered the countdown.
In the live footage released by the mascot, many Zhejiang celebrities appeared one after another, such as breaststroke star Luo Xuejuan, famous actor Zhou Xun, etc., but unfortunately, the old Hangzhou business card Sun Yang did not appear during the whole process. At the closing ceremony of the Jakarta Asian Games two years ago, Sun Yang, along with Ma Yun, Yi Qianqianxi and others, sent invitations to all of Asia on behalf of Hangzhou. But only two years later, the former God of Heaven fell from the altar because of the anti-censorship crisis.
On February 28th, CAS announced the penalty for Sun Yang. The Chinese swimming brother was suspended for 8 years. According to regulations, Sun Yang had an opportunity to appeal within 30 days. Due to special circumstances, the appeal period was extended. Judging from the case, the possibility of Sun Yang reversing the case is slim, and Sun Yang's career has basically come to an end. The absence of him during the Asian Games mascot release ceremony proved this from the side.
From the former Chinese swimmer, Hangzhou business card, and Asian Games spokesperson, to now being "abandoned" by his hometown, Sun Yang's growth trajectory is embarrassing. Sun Yang has already stated that he wants to appeal. I wonder if he can make the impossible possible.
