Showdown cancelled! China's Sun Yang fails to qualify for 1500m final - ending hopes of revenge against rival Olympic gold medallist Mack Horton

对决取消！中国的孙杨未能晋级1500米决赛，报复竞争对手霍顿的希望破灭





The much anticipated showdown between Australia's Mack Horton and his great rival Sun Yang will now not happen after Yang failed to qualify for the men's 1500 metres freestyle final.

China's world record holder and defending Olympic 1,500 metres freestyle champion struggled badly and failed to qualify for the finals on Friday night.

Yang, who has already won a 200m freestyle gold and 400m silver, was only 16th fastest overall with the top eight going through to Saturday's final.

Athletes, (of all types) should just learn to keep their mouths closed; let their actions speak for themselves. Then none of this would happen and the media would have to find some other rubbish to report on!

运动员要学会保持沉默，别张嘴就喷，让行动来证明自己

就不会出现争议了，媒体就没有料来报道。

I know you guys may feel happy to say things like "he definitely took drug" or "this time he doesn't have time to take drug so he lose", but there's one thing which is not reported in this article that Yang was having a serious flu from yesterday. He was considering giving up even before the match began.

你们也许会说风凉话，说“他肯定服用兴奋剂了”，

或者说“他这次没来得及服用兴奋剂，所以输了”

然而，有一点是本文没有提到的，就是孙杨昨天开始严重感冒，也许比赛还没开始，他就考虑放弃比赛的
