How exciting is this, to be here, to be surrounded by Olympic and Paralympic fans, to see this emblem in person? I mean, this is a great night.

It absolutely is.

It's such a fantastic turnout.

And I was saying earlier, even just being here, and I know I've been able to have been blessed to experience a few games already, but seeing the atmosphere, seeing it knowing that it's going to be a home crowd, seeing the video, the understanding the creation behind the, the meaning behind these emblems, it just really kind of, you know, makes it a l- gives you a little bit of goosebumps and gives you that, that excitement.

And just seeing how that's going to inspire so many people here and watching and in the lead up to the games is just incredible, and just so grateful that, yeah, I get to be able to be here to experience it.

I mean, I swear it's like one of these things the more and more you stare at it, the more and more you realize how much is involved with it.

Absolutely, and that was the same for me.

I, once I had discovered and un- and learnt all of these iconic reasonings as to, you know, the design and the evolution as to how this came about, it became so much more meaningful, because you don't, you don't see things like this very often.
