00:00I hope you will feel that this is the environment which encourages you to perform at your best.
00:06You won't know that until it happens.
00:09But if it's a personal best, you can be eminently proud of what you've achieved,
00:17because you will know you couldn't have done any better.
00:20But it is the process of getting here, and some of you are getting here again and again and again and again.
00:30That is extraordinary, because it requires such inspiration and innovation to maintain those levels of excellence.
00:38For an Olympic Games, that says something enormous about your achievements and your skills.
00:44Thank you for your commitment and your support.
00:47And I just wish you every bit of success, and that it goes as well as you hope, in every way.
00:55And also, do take the chance to enjoy it.
00:59The village does have its moments, but it can be enjoyed.
01:02It's a pleasure to see you. All the best.
01:21Congratulations, guys, by the way.
01:24Okay, thank you very much.
