Mirac said: "10 minutes before entering the pool, my swim trunks broke. At that time, I had a hunch that I would not be able to break the world record. Because I couldn't concentrate, I knew I couldn't break the world record. ”
Even with the accident of tearing his swim trunks, Mirac was ready for the 200m butterfly. After changing into new swim trunks, the 21-year-old won the race, winning the race with a time of 1:51.25, up from the 1:52.03 record set by Michael Phelps, a flying fish, at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Winning the gold medal has made many people ecstatic, but Milk is not very satisfied with his performance. He said: "I'm competing for the world record, not for the gold medal. I want to swim my personal best and break the world record. I was a little disappointed that I didn't break the world record in the end. "Boy, you're still young, don't worry about the past, enjoy this gold medal.
Will Milk leave that broken swim trunks as a souvenir? Milk said no, he still had it, but it was only a matter of time before he lost it. This is not a good thing to commemorate, keep it only to add to your own blockage, it is better to lose it! It will be more meaningful to break the world record next time and leave the swim trunks as a souvenir.
