After the game, Sun Yang said: "this result is acceptable. I didn't expect to swim to this result. I'm very tired. I've swam 3000 meters today. It's difficult to change the rhythm after a short distance. My legs are very sour. I've been insisting all the time. The key is that the quality of will is very important. What you see is that I don't have to swim until I get a medal and a gold medal." Summing up the three projects that have been completed, Sun Yang said: 'the three projects have been completed. It should be said that they have met expectations. It is good to swim with such high intensity on the fourth day. It is difficult to make a choice in the project. The result of the 800 meter freestyle is still good. Everyone has confidence in my 800 meter freestyle, which is my best result in the 800 meter freestyle in recent years.'
