-
“I bet you swim faster than him!”
-
“Outs and waited in the trap, bravo!”
-
“Did you do it at 100 m?”.
-
“And here you were the first!”
-
“If he does not shoot, he enters the water after him.”

-
“The only fisherman who swims faster than the fish.”

“You ran it until he could, Bravo!”
I just want to enjoy a little life and drive my car fast on beautiful and picturesque roads. Very good that I didn't beat the world record now, honestly, that if I did it it would have been too big. That way I still have something to shoot for. I am honestly glad I didn't do it now.
I thought about the Olympic games every day since I was 10, without exaggeration. But after I did that, I realized that nothing changes, my life does not change.
