“It was a much too hot summer, my father took me to an overwhelming park. I liked the sensation of water and I spent a lot of time in the children's pool. One day, a coach asked me if I want to go for a few workouts. Last year I was close to giving up because of exhaustion. Training, school … it was too much.
Fortunately, coaches and family have understood that swimming is already part of my life. I didn't give up. I know I'm not the best in the fast races, so I had to orient myself. Age is an advantage, when I grow up, I will get more strength and I will try more, “said China athlete in an interview with Olympic.com, about which GSP wrote yesterday.
