赛后采访中，潘展乐十分激动。他表示，一雪前耻，今天终于把他们所有人都拿下了，在最难游的池子打破世界纪录，真是非常好的表现。

“我们国家这么多人，所有人的希望，在我下水的前一刻我感受到了。”

"I didn't expect to break the world record before the race. I planned to have a strong start and keep the momentum. I know that there are high hopes on me, and finally, I did it," Pan said after the competition.

在参加赛后的新闻发布会时，潘展乐表示，自己今天的表现特别完美，希望自己的这个成绩能激励中国游泳队在后面的比赛有更好的发挥。

"I just swam the race perfectly today and made a strong impression for Chinese swimming. I hope this gold could boost the morale of the whole team," Pan said at the post-final news conference.

他同时风趣地表示，这枚金牌对自己意义不大，因为生活还要继续，但对国家意义重大，因为这是中国人在游泳项目上的一个历史性突破。

"For myself, I haven't come to terms with it yet," Pan said of the gold medal's significance for his career. "My life goes on, for sure, and I will continue training and swimming.

"But for Chinese swimming and for my country, I think it's huge to prove that Chinese athletes could also prevail in another event (other than traditional strong disciplines) in swimming."

当外媒提问兴奋剂检查是否影响中国游泳队备战时，潘展乐回应，只要是合规合理，中国游泳队员不惧高频药检，破世界纪录的成绩，来源于实力和科学训练。

“去年我接受了29次检查，从来没有一次阳性，包括今年我们的冠军赛，从5月份到7月份共有21次检查，也没有一次阳性。”

Pan's record-breaking performance on Wednesday came after having completed a rigorous doping test program, prior to and during the Paris Games, with zero positive results, which has sent out a strong statement on the improvement and integrity of Chinese swimmers.
