“What was it? You’ve never been so fast?”

“That time 24.28sec were enough to win a silver medal…”

“Nothing astonishing. Swimming fastens, and this medal as significant as my silver medals”.

“Your performance in 100m was challengeable. A few believed you could succeed this time”.

“It’s important to believe in yourself. We got in disadvantageous position, our swimming team failed this Olympiad, so I had to do much to get over”.

“Performance statistics reflects your team’s troubles. Victory in preliminary events, 5th place in semifinal and tough struggle to enter top 8 athletes for the final”.

“Sometimes it goes sore. I’m happy I could realize my ambitions and I succeed”.

“People talk you could miss the start because of the bus driver’s mistake. He misdirected and headed in another rout with you and two other girls on board”.

“I had the organizers’ phone numbers at hand. We asked them to delay the event for some time and got through that.”

“Do you plan to quit swimming career?”

“Fake. I plan to compete in the World Championship in Bucharest, then we see. I do not hurry, it’s complicated to quit your career”.
