Does Sun Yang 🇨🇳 have a realistic chance of making it to Paris? What events can he enter to post a OQT? Will China select him?

A quick Google search says he was banned for 4 years and 3 months from February 28th, 2020, so assuming his ban ends at the end of May of this year. The qualification period runs until June 23rd so theoretically he could qualify but it is beyond unlikely to be honest.

China's selection policies as their written rule it out (last trials meet is before his ban ends and they're saying they won't put anyone on the team who has served a doping ban, though I suppose the latter could be legally challenged). But it is China, so you never know.

So if they don't get the necessary time at the Sette Colli Trophy, is there still a chance that the Italian federation will send them to the Olympics?

yes, I think so

 

Cocconcelli is sure to go to Paris because of the relays

 

Lamberti is also on the rising curve (and we might need him for the medley relay, especially if we don't get anybody swimming a good 100m Fly -then Ceccon will be used for that and Lamberti would automatically make the Backstroke leg in that relay)

 

Fangio's time is almost a lock for the semifinals, so they should give her a chance

 

the 100m Breastroke for men is a different beast, as we still have at least 3 men (Poggio, Viberti and Cerasuolo -all of them were in the 59s yesterday) still competing for a place next to Martinenghi in Paris (where surely we're gonna have 2 specialists, but who? )

the Settecolli meet will be a final shootout between those 3 mentioned above, I think
