00:00Yeah, like you said, I have seven silvers in the 100 freestyle at the World Champs
00:05and the bronze medal at the Olympics 2016.
00:08So, I mean, I kind of gave up on that,
00:12you know, trying to win a gold medal in the freestyle.
00:15And even a few days before this, like after the freestyle relay,
00:19I told my coach that I don't know if 100 freestyle is a good idea,
00:26like I should maybe rest for the 50 freestyle.
00:28And he was just like, no, you have to do it.
00:31And I think it's because he believes in me more than I believe in myself sometimes.
00:35So, thanks for that, coach.
