在发言中，潘展乐提到了中国第一位奥运选手刘长春“只身赴会”的场景，相关话题冲上热搜！
In his speech, Pan Zhanle mentioned Liu Changchun, the first Chinese Olympian and the only athlete of the Chinese sports delegation at the 10th Olympic Games held in Los Angeles, US. And Liu became a national hero not only for his historic achievement, but for the patriotism he displayed in the process.
潘展乐感慨道，刘长春的背后是山河破碎、国运艰难的中国，而百年后的今天，中国健儿自信满满，平视世界，可以跟全世界最优秀的运动员同场竞技并拔得头筹，一个重要的原因就是——背后，有强大的祖国！
Almost a century later, as China ascends, an increasing number of Chinese athletes exude confidence on the Olympic stage, challenging the world's best athletes and reaching for greatness. One crucial factor behind this success is the powerful motherland standing firmly behind them!

谈起“破纪录”的背后，潘展乐说有点枯燥，每天的训练都是吃饭、训练、治疗按摩、休息，每天15000米雷打不动。“但我从没想过放弃，因为祖国至上、为国争光的信念，早就跟国旗一起，印在了我的胸前、刻在了我的心上。”
Pan also shared that his record-breaking achievements stemmed from monotonous drill day after day: eating, training, taking therapeutic massage, resting, and swimming 15 km per day, with no variation. "I never thought of giving up, because the belief of bring glory to our nation is eternally engraved in my heart."
