Zhu Zhitao was a bit curious, but since his idol asked again, he repeated himself.
"55.92 seconds," Zhu Zhitao answered, "Our domestic swimming level is relatively behind. We didn't do well in the '84 Los Angeles Olympics, but swimming is a major event with many gold medals, so now the country is investing a lot, hoping in the next Olympics, we can achieve better results and break through the zero gold medals in swimming. So the pressure on our team is huge..."
Yuan Hua only heard "55.92 seconds" from Zhu Zhitao's words.
"From what you're saying, if our female athletes could swim fifty-five seconds, could they win a gold medal?" Yuan Hua asked. A gold medal, that's a glory many people yearn for!
"Oh, they definitely could win the gold medal," Zhu Zhitao said. "But improving speed is not that easy. It requires not only enthusiasm but also many scientific training methods. It's not easy."
