Sun brushed off any criticism saying that he was just reading lines for a sponsor and that they were comical in nature to gain viewers for the sport, and that seemed good enough for most in the sport.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s revelation if proven true, definitely calls into question Sun&#8217;s sportsmanship since he ascended to the top of the sport with his amazing world records in the distance freestyle as a double Olympic champion.<\/p>\n<p>Sun did go on to explain that he&#8217;s still <a title=\"Sun Yang Injures Hand on 200 Free Finish, Could Miss Rest of Asian Games\" href=\"http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/sun-yang-injures-hand-on-200-free-finish-could-miss-rest-of-asian-games\/\" target=\"_blank\">battling his hand injury from his first night swim in the 200-meter free<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;My hands still hurts and I have the 1,500m to go,&#8221; Sun said.\u00a0&#8220;There would have been an impact (on the race) if I was the leadoff swimmer as I could have had a weak start. But the coaches put me in third so there would be less pressure.\u00a0Right now I&#8217;m struggling for speed and I would feel less pressure in there.
