“现在回想起来，我不得不认同我的教练的观点，他说从长远来看这不是一件坏事，但当时确实很艰难。”
But Connor is back on the water and isn't going to let his setback stop him from aiming high.
但康纳现在又回到了水面上，并且挫折不会阻止他追求更高的目标。
"When I sat down and we started working with my coach for the first time, you know, the first question was "what you aiming for?", and the goal was gold. And so that is what we're going for."
“当我坐下来和我的教练第一次开始训练时，第一个问题是‘你的目标是什么？’，目标是金牌。这就是我们的目标。”
Good luck at the Games, Connor.
康纳，祝你奥运会好运。
