Has Sun Yang become the second greatest male swimmer in world history after Phelps?

It can be seen from the results that Sun Yang won 14 individual gold medals in world-class competitions (Olympic Games and World Championships), including 3 in Olympic Games and 1 1 in World Championships. This figure is the second in swimming history, second only to Phelps-Phelps' individual gold medals mainly come from butterfly and medley, while freestyle's individual gold medals are only three.

In freestyle events, Sun Yang, who won the14th gold medal, is the first person in history. He was followed by Thorpe, popov, Shpits and other historical leaders. As the first phenomenal swimmer in swimming history who swept from 200m to 1500m, he won four consecutive championships in 400m and three consecutive championships in 800m at the World Championships. Contemporary swimmers have long been "bitter Yang Yang wine". Sun Yang broke the world record of1500m. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the world record with the highest gold content in freestyle and the only record that has not been broken in the shark skin era.

But in fact, all the reports are only part of them, not complete. There was no report on the friendly interaction between Italian Deti and Sun Yang. French Agne posted Sun Yang's support group on social media, Lithuanian Lapsis shook hands to encourage Sun Yang, and Phelps himself highly praised Sun Yang and Australian coach Dennis for defending Sun Yang ... Because of the small flow of people, I failed to attract much attention. In fact, on the international stage, there are contradictions and frictions among athletes from various countries. However, it is rare to see Horton so mindless.
