Is it true that you don't swim at all now?
I'm afraid so. I'm too old.
But you are only 20.
That's too old for a swimmer. If I swam in an international competition now, I wouldn't win. So I'd rather not swim at all.
But don't you enjoy swimming?
I used to, when I was small. But if you enter for big competitions you have to work very hard. I used to get up at 6 to the pool. I had to train before school, after school and at weekends. I swam thirty-five miles every week!
But you were famous at fifteen. And look at all those cups.
It's true that I have some wonderful memories. Olympics were very exciting. But I missed some important things too. While other girls were playing, I was swimming.
