Because of immethodical training plus his own disputes with his previous coach who gave him great help before, China's swimming department intended to register only two personal swimming contest items for Sun Yang in the World Swimming Championship held in Barcelona this July. Shang Xiutang, the deputy director of swimming department of China's Sports Administration, previously stated that they were worried about Sun Yang's current performance for a lack of systematical training, and this time they intended to register 400-meter and 1500 meter freestyle swimming items which Sun Yang won the No.1 positions in London Olympics last year. What's worse, judging from Sun Yang's status, Sun could even not won the gold medal for sure. And this makes the public negatively concerns about Sun's prospect.  

Therefore, Sun Yang needs to fight for the membership of 800 meter freestyle swimming contest, in one hand, to show his own qualification to the general public, in another, to "counterattack" the rumor that his gliding in swimming capability.
