In which year did Phelps cupping take place in the Olympics?

2016 Rio Olympics. Swimming superstar Michael Phelps appeared on the court with a "cup mark", making the ancient cupping therapy instantly "popular" in the world, and making traditional Chinese medicine once again attract the attention of the world's people.

Recently, the red circle mark "tattoo" on Phelps's body has become a topic of discussion on social platforms. Foreign media also wrote a special article to explain these red marks. The report stated that "The US team used cupping for the ancient healing technology "We are fascinated by the idea that such treatments can be traced back to ancient Egyptian, Chinese and Middle Eastern cultures."

While the Tokyo Olympics are being held, recently, a mysterious force from ancient China has once again become popular in the Olympic arena, and that is cupping.

In the swimming competitions of the Tokyo Olympics, we can often find traces of cupping by foreign athletes in the broadcast footage. Not only do Japanese and Korean athletes in Asia have cupping marks on their bodies, but even Australian swimming star Chalmers has traces of cupping all over his body.
