He's Dating the Russian Swimmer

Ivan, Wilson, Eric, and everyone else from the swimming team cheered for Dino as he swam as fast as he could. Even though he was already swimming as fast as he could, there were about three people who were ahead of him.

"Dino, win this!" Darwin shouted. "Everyone, let's all cheer for Dino!"

"Go, go, go, go, go, Dino!" everyone chorused.

[Everyone's cheering for me. That's why...I have to win this!] Dino thought determinedly as he kept on swimming as fast as he could.
