00:00I was under a lot of pressure for the 400m freestyle, it was my speciality, I also hold the world record, so it's true that it's a bit different, it was also the first day for me, so I had a lot of pressure, it allowed me to free myself, I'm a super time by the way, I managed to free myself during the race already, and after that it was only fun for me, it's true that the double was something that I envisaged for a long time already, to see that my coach was also confident to do it too, it made me feel good, and after that it's true that after the 200m, I think I finished the marathon, I did 6 races in a day and a half,
00:29so it's a lot, so I took the opportunity to have fun at the end of this race, and enjoy it, because I won 2 gold medals in 2 hours, so it's incredible for me.
