Announcement of marriage with Dou Dou Zhang, former national rhythmic gymnast
Chinese swimming star Sun Yang (32) married Zhang Dou Dou (27), a former rhythmic gymnast.
Sun Yang and Zhang Dou Dou officially announced their marriage on Weibo on the 20th, posting wedding photos and marriage certificates at the same time.
Sun Yang is a leading star in Chinese swimming who has won 6 Olympic medals (3 gold, 2 silver, 1 bronze) and 16 world championship medals (11 gold, 2 silver, 3 bronze).
He won gold medals in the 400m and 1500m freestyle at the 2012 London Olympics, and won gold in the 200m freestyle at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
However, since the 2019 World Championships in Gwangju, he has not been able to compete.
In September 2018, Sun Yang was suspected of obstructing doping control officers who visited her home to collect urine and blood samples for a doping test, and in February 2020, she was suspended for eight years.
Later, after a retrial by the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS), Sun Yang reduced the penalty of suspension to 4 years and 3 months.
Sun Yang, whose suspension of qualification expires in May next year, has expressed his will to participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics, which will open at the end of July of the same year.
Dou Dou Zhang, who is married to Sun Yang, competed for China at the 2013 and 2015 Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championships and retired in 2017.
