00:00When did you learn that you could go in the swimming scene?

00:04This morning, when I woke up.

00:06Anyway, I had no doubt because I thought it would have been an honor for our sport if we hadn't been able to swim.

00:10So I believed it. Anyway, we were going to be able to swim since we did it last year.

00:14What did you feel during the race?

00:17It was incredible, just the current.

00:19On the other hand, it was very difficult.

00:21I didn't expect it to be so strong.

00:23It was stronger than last year.

00:25But suddenly, that's cool.

00:27Did you have apprehension?

00:29No, not more than that.

00:31I don't really want to answer your questions about the quality of the water

00:33because I think it's very controversial.

00:35In the end, we were able to swim.

00:37I think no one was sick last year and no one will be sick this year.

00:39I'm very happy to have been able to run this morning.
