"I tried my best," said Sun, 200m free winner at 2016 Rio Games. "We expected to break the world record before the final. The bronze is a breakthrough. We proved that We are a strong team and we can beat America and Australia in relay."
"It is my first time competing in short-course competition. It is a new experience," Sun added. "I am happy with the result."
