While being regarded as the most promising male swimmer, Wu concluded his
Olympic debut in Athens with a sixth place in the 200m butterfly event. The
fourth position in the 50m freestyle won by Jiang Chengji in Atlanta 1996 is
still the best result by Chinese male swimmer in the Olympic Games.
Youthful Wu Peng has the reason to be self-confident. "I'm approaching the
world-class swimmers step by step. After all, I improve my performances every
year," he said.
Wu will enter the 200m butterfly and 200m individual medley in Montreal.
Although his idol Michael Phelps has decided not to defend his world title in
the 200m butterfly, the Chinese hopeful still have an opportunity to chase the
American wunderkind in the 200m individual medley.
While making the final preparation for the World Championships in Beijing, Wu
said: "I always have a thirst for standing on the podiums of World Championships
and Olympic Games, I believe that my dream will come true soon."
