China coach plays down team’s chances at Shanghai

China head swimming coach Yao Zhengjie has downplayed his team’s chances of winning multiple golds for the home crowd at the world championships, saying his swimmers are concentrating on the 2012 London Olympic.

“Of course we’re improving, but we’re still quite far behind the U.S. and Australia,” Yao told The Associated Press on Monday. “We won just one gold at the 2008 Olympics, so we just want to work harder and get better.”
