00:00 Gosh, well, 40 years ago, it's a long time.
00:04 And in actual fact, next year, 2025,
00:07 we've been skating together for 50 years,
00:10 and we felt that that was a really nice round number to say,
00:14 we've had a wonderful time,
00:15 and it's time to retire a little bit,
00:18 hang up the skates, and no more touring,
00:21 except for the last tour that we're hoping to do next year.
00:25 And we feel that it will be the last tour,
00:29 but we feel like it'll be a celebration
00:31 of everything that we've been through since 1984,
00:35 winning the Olympics, which opened up the door
00:37 to lots of other things in the future.
00:39 - It's fantastic being here in Sarajevo,
