The 19-year-old said excitedly after the race: "Breaking the world record proves that I have achieved results in training, this is just the beginning, it is a natural thing, but I don't want my record to be broken by others soon."

I want to try to keep up with the front, but the strength is still lacking. As the Olympics get closer and closer, I want to compete with the masters, learn from their swimming methods, and swim better in the future. I don't have a lot of experience in competitions, so I want to make a breakthrough as soon as possible. ”
