"I swam my best time in the Paralympics in the 200-meter medley." Defne Kurt said, "That's why I'm in a good mood and I hope for the Olympics. I want to show the same performance there as well. I have three more races. That's why I consider my current successes as never happened and I have 3 more races to focus on. I want to swim as best as I can and get the best result in them." he said.

Sevilay Öztürk, who won the gold medal in the women's 50-meter backstroke S5 category, said, "I was in the camps continuously for about 3 months. In fact, I can say that our efforts were rewarded. I would like to thank our federation president for his efforts in this regard. I think we gave our reward by having our National Anthem read and our flag waving in the sky. Esra came second behind me. It is very happy to see her there. It is very proud and proud to see two Turkish flags there. "I feel touched. We are very happy that our efforts have paid off." made his assessment.

Turgut Aslan Yaraman, who won the gold medal in the men's 100-meter backstroke S8 category, said, "We get very stressed before the race. When you manage this stress, you relax. If you have trained enough and know that you will win, you can easily get through these processes. Since my eyesight is not very good, I realized that I won when the people in the stands called out to me at the end of the race." he said.
