Episode 602 - Maximilien Drion Post-Milano Cortina Interview

You're top 10 in the world in an Olympic Games, Max.

That can never be taken away from you.

Uh, and, uh, just in everything you were saying, you had a great post on Instagram where you basically said what you just said, that you had so many emotions and you had all great little headings there where you say pride, frustration, deception, and gratitude with, uh, sort of everything that you're going on there with that.

I, I read on a post, uh, I think it was an interview you did before the Olympics, you had a team of about 100 people traveling with you to see you-

Ooh

... at the games.

So all that pride and everything that you felt there, you've also got a lot of people to kind of go there.

I also saw the amount of atmosphere that was there at Beaulieu for that event.

I feel that must have been your entire team if you've got 100 bloody passionate Max fans going on there.

I mean, that whole atmosphere and everything though, outside of the competition, what was that like? 'Cause it seemed like it was pumping.

Oh, yeah, it was so crazy.

I've, I have not felt that many moments like this in, uh, in my life.

Um, so yeah, I had, um, yeah, close to 100 people traveling from Belgium, Switzerland, or France-

Wow

... to, uh, watch me at the, at the games.

I had made, uh, headbands for, uh, for all of them.

Brilliant.

And so I could, uh, yeah, I could just see them very, very clearly in the, in the, what do, what do you call them?

Hill, the stand or something like that.

In the stands, yeah.

Yeah.

Uh, and so every time I was walking in front of the stands or appearing on TV, I could hear my, uh, my name, my name, uh, yelled in the, in the stands.

Uh, was really, uh, so noisy and so, so, so unbelievable, so, so loud.

So, um, so yeah, I was, uh, I was having tears, uh, uh, very often, uh, during the warm-up or, uh, in the minutes before the, the races when I could, uh, hear all this noise and all these people for me.

Fantastic.
