How did you manage to swim breastroke with your goggles on your mouth at the Olympics? And to have such a great speed ๐Ÿ‘ 

When my goggles came down during a race, I thought about the people in the stands watching and realized I had to perform regardless of the circumstances.
 
Transcript: "Yeah, so that was a really tough moment for me. But in that moment when my goggles came down, I thought about who was in the stands. There were three other people up there that could have been in that same relay spot. Just because I had my goggles in my mouth doesn't mean that I could use that as an excuse to not perform. I had been chosen for that spot for my country and for myself and for my teammates, and so I needed to step up and perform regardless of the scenario."
