(Beijing, May 25) - Comments from silver medalist Daniel Batman (AUS) and bronze medalist Zhao Jiahuan (CHN, SHD) at the men's 200m press conference.
Daniel Batman (AUS) - silver medalist
On winning silver:
"I am indifferent now and not worried about the result any more. I came here to feel the atmosphere; hopefully I will run faster in the future."
On why he chose to become a runner:
"I do it full time. When I was young I looked up to those athletes and I traveled around the world and experienced many different things."
On his future plans:
"I will participate in a Taipei race next week and some races in Australia and Europe. Hopefully I will make the Olympic team."
On the China Athletics Open:
"It's a pretty good track, grandstand and architecture. The organization is good."
Zhao Jiahuan (CHN, SHD) - bronze medalist
On his performance:
"It was not my best, but I learned a lot from the test event and I will try to do a better performance in the future. I gained more experiences of a large-scale competition. Usually in domestic races we only have two rounds. This time there is three rounds. It's a new experience."
On his future goal:
"I will take part in the qualification in Suzhou on 27 June."
On the National Stadium:
"The facilities are perfect. Especially the track, it's bouncy. That contributes to good results in sprints."
