On August 6, Beijing time, the Chinese swimming team completed all the competitions of the Paris Olympics and left for China. CCTV News released a video of Pan Zhanle being interviewed on July 3, two days before he left for Paris. Pan Zhanle revealed in the interview that he was already able to swim 46.5 seconds at that time, but he was afraid of exposing his strength in advance, so he asked the reporter not to broadcast this interview first.

In this 56-second video, Pan Zhanle said with a smile at the beginning: "I don't dare to say too much......"

The reporter responded: "I want to hear you tell the truth." ”

Pan Zhanle then said: "Then don't broadcast it!" ”

The reporter agreed to Pan Zhanle's request, saying that he would keep this video first to reassure him, because the show must be for the purpose of protecting him.

Pan Zhanle nodded and said: "I just think, fortunately, I broke the world record in Doha in February only broke 0.06, I didn't swim faster, and I didn't do the best in some details, if I really swam to 46.6, 46.5, those people's goal must be to stare at 46.5 to swim, and then it will be difficult for me to rise again, but now they think that I can only swim at the level of 46.8 seconds, and then I want to break it in 46.7 seconds." ”

The reporter said: "Let the opponent think that 46.8 seconds is ......"

Pan Zhanle continued: "(I thought) 46.8 seconds is my limit, even if it's a smoke bomb, but at the same time, I have to double or triple my training efforts to make this 46.8 seconds really a smoke bomb." ”

I have to say that Pan Zhanle, who is so young, showed maturity that does not match his age in the interview. As we all know, Pan Zhanle shined at the Olympic Games, not only winning the 100m freestyle championship and swimming a new record of 46.40 seconds, but also in the 4x100 medley relay, Pan Zhanle swam 45.92 seconds in sections, becoming the first athlete to swim 46 seconds in the 100m.
