"I have not thought about how to celebrate, but I know I haven't race my best level. "Ê
"Oh, there are many places that I need to improve, such as my turns and almost every
part of my technique."Ê
"I learned swimming in the same school that Sun Yang was in. And Ye Shiwen is my best
friend. They are Olympic champions and I believe I have a lot of things to learn from them."Ê
"That's why I want to do so many races because it is really good training. After the Olympics
I didn't want to go back to before the same training, so I decided to do all the World
Cups and do a lot of races as training. It's a lot of fun and I got to travel and I see
a lot of places and I can race against really good girl swimmers, so it's been awesome."
"I don't really have a secret, I don't think (there is any). Every time I go to the block,
I think that is my last race, so every time I tried not to think about I have other races
and just try to push it. Sometimes I don't swim well and sometime I swim really fast.
But I can learn a lot from each race and that's definitely what matters. Every night I sit
down and think through what I need to learn and what I need to fix. "
"This medal is not a big deal. You (journalists who asked the question) always make jokes
with me. Anyway, to be honest, I am trying to fix many part of my condition, such as
mentality and techniques, hopefully I can restore my highest level soon."
"I am really excited. You know, it's always good to win and I am happy with the time and
I think this is the best time in the World Cup series so far this year. So I am excited
about that and it's a good sign for the future. Beijing put on a great meet here and I definitely
want to come back, this is an awesome venue."
"Yeah you know to have Christian (Sprenger) there, the Olympic silver medallist you know
and all the Chinese here, you know it was a very tough competition, it's good to race."
"You know you got a break and rest for a few weeks after Olympics, so just try to get my
form back but it's been good that you go whatever sporty, you learn things from this World Cup
and I am enjoying do it so. You take advantages from these races and move on."
"Well I had some awkward logistics of getting here initially. But once I got here, it is
very nice, you know, I got watching the Olympics four years ago from home and also actually
be here, it is pretty cool. So my races weren't quite as good as I want. I want to be able
to perform a little bit better. Hopefully that was just a bit of rust and the next meet,
I will be a little bit sharper."
