Thanks for the timely upload, just to clarify some mistranslations and confusion caused by clips cut short due to copyright issues: 2:44 Pan and his coach are saying they don't have time for systematic training after the Olympics, their training plans have always been interrupted by various events. Previously, when the trainings got interrupted, Pan usually got a longtime of continuous training sessions to recover his form, and he can recover 90% of his form if he trains properly for a month. But he is unable to do so currently, due to the training sessions being on and off, and he's starting to doubt himself. 3:41 Pan's coach is saying there're definitely pressure, how to exceed a high standard like 46.40 is going to be a difficult task for both of them. 4:58 During the Olympics, Pan thought all the Chinese swimmers competed before him maybe tried too hard during the prelims, so he wanted to save some energy for the final (but maybe too much), which almost caused him not advancing to the final. He was also shocked, so he didn't dare to do so again and gave all he had during the semis. 5:58 Because he's breathing to the left, and didn't know the positions of swimmers at his right side, so he tried his best. He only realized he got first after he turned around while touching the wall. Before that moment, he's keep on telling himself he's definitely second or third, so whatever the results, he wouldn't be disappointed at himself. 8:07 Pan's talking about César Cielo's word record had stood for 13 years, and was broken by David Popovici. There will always be that one person who dare to break the record, and Popovici was that person. Pan thinks Popovici is like the leader of their generation, and he looked up to him. According to him, Popovici is very talented, and Pan considers himself as more of a hard-working athlete instead of a talented one. 9:37 Popovici congratulated and praised him after the race, while some other competitors did not. So Pan felt that while many athletes were saying they didn't care about medals, but deep inside, medals did matter to them. 17:56 He's saying because his puberty started quite late, so he got surpassed by swimmers who grew taller and stronger than him. Even though he did everything he could during trainings, he still lost again and again. 21:40 Pan says he's not thinking about what's going to happen four years later, rather he wants to focus on the present and stays in the moment. He might not be able to swim 55s for 100 free without proper trainings, so there's no point of looking too far ahead.
Missing one segment, 20:27 He's talking about with his rose to fame after the Olympics, some people are digging and sharing screenshots of things he said in group chats 3 years ago, and he doesn't feel comfortable with that.
Thanks for those additional details. Very insightful. Your time stamps are very helpful, as well. Much appreciation to anyone translating for us poor schlubs, stunted by fluency only in English. Related to 9:37, I have observed that Popovici was the only one who seemed genuine in supporting Pan on the win and the incredible world record mark. He was the first, while still in the pool, to applaud Pan generously multiple times, including in his walk-off from the pool. Nemeth also clapped, while he was near Popovici in the pool. And Salchow walked away from the pool while clapping (but I don't know whether it was to celebrate Pan's achievement or to go along with the audience's clapping or just a gesture from swimming; nevertheless, a lot more favorably demonstrative than 4 other swimmers). Popovici is very classy and gracious. Then again, he's known as the Philosopher (he's majoring in philosophy) with his Zen demeanor. I love that he and Pan are the top 2 sprinters (barring aside neither swims in the 50m) as friendly and respectful rivals that I liken to the rivals of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, who are friends. They elevate each other and the game that would be otherwise isolating. And I'm glad he's not giving Chalmers any more praise, as Chalmers seemed to ride on Pan's shoulders too much, while not giving Pan his due of his talent (yeah, he talks about the world record but as if it was a sole entity of its own). No American interviewer is going to draw Pan out as much as these Chinese hosts. He's so candid and raw in his responses, but I doubt he would be that comfortable with Western media where he might feel he has to watch his words. Several swimming channels have been pestering him for interviews, but I hope he pays them dust. Even though some of them have dismissed the doping allegations against him, they haven't extended that belief for the Chinese team at large. They still ride that wave against the swimmers who tested positive, thinking those swimmers got off easy, when the whole reason they were cleared was no so much the contamination in the kitchen (which could not be definitively established) but the fact that the lab results indicated no deliberate doping practices with the trace levels that fluctuated from zero to low positives and vice versa. The how wasn't as critical as the what. The absolute numbers were the exonerating factor.
Thank you for your correction! You really really help me a loooooooot! I struggled with my final exams last week so that I don’t have time to check the translation again. And it’s so great that you understand the cut clip due to copyright! I should edit them before I upload but I don’t have time to do it so I just let RUclips cut them. Actually, I tried to upload a better soft subtitles but the video was cut off so many clips. So that I have to change all the subtitles timelines. Then I give up. 😂 Once again, thank you soooooo much for your clarify.
Pan said cus popovici can break the WR first as same age with himself ,so he belive he can also do it ,so he just keep training harder, then he did it. and he also say popovici has more talent than him, Pan said he just a normal athlete with huge effort. he is very modesty boy .and he is going to the winter training,prepaing for the meet next year,looking forward to see he can break his own WR again.
Pan is far too modest. The numbers speak for themselves when it comes to him and Popovici. Right now, Pan is ahead in every metric of speed: fastest world records and the number of times he has swum below 47 seconds. Off the top of my head, I don't know how the two compare in medals across World Championships and Olympics, but unlike Popovici, Pan has not seriously competed in distances more than 100 (barring aside short course competitions but short-course isn't on the same level as long course). Maybe in that regard, Popovici could be more "talented" as Pan might defer to Pop that he does compete in both the 100 and 200 at the top. But his modesty adds to his charm. Arrogance and confidence are generally a turn-off to many, but when they can back it up, just have to give them their due (as with Muhammed Ali, who might be the quintessential boaster whose charm added to his legacy and popularity globally). I'm eager to witness his next breakthrough of the mythical sub-46 mark. If any "human" can do it, it's Pan! Thanks for the recap of the interview, as well! Aaand, as always, goes unsaid the many thanks to this channel's creator, Xingyi, with sharing your access to these videos and mostly all your effort in the cumbersome job of translating and adding subtitles.
@@phyllisq.553 yes ,but somehow there is someone will break again someday ,maybe its Pan ,maybe someoneelse,but I think Pan has more possibility to do it than anyone .just give him some time, and he also said ,if stop training for about 3_5days ,then he has to totally start again, too much commercial activities after Olympic，everytime he going to back to training ,but there are always something to stop him,he said he felt very miserable ，so he might wont able to be in any meet during these months,till the meet next summer， and he also said he might can break 46.40,justi need more training and without any disturb。we will see it.
@@someone5002right now, there are only two swimmers capable to break WR: Pan and Popovici. Can't wait to see how they will challenge each other in order to progress.
