00:00Oh, that's a good question, because you're right, we've got world leaders, Matthew Hudson-Smith in the 400m, Hodgkinson in the women's 800m,
00:13then we've got people who've performed at the highest levels as well, Laura we can always depend on in the 1500m,
00:19you've got Katrina Johnson-Thompson coming back into form as she goes into the heptathlon,
00:24I mean, there's just so many great shots, and the men's sprinting as well, Louis is doing so well, having Kyle Lewis as your coach is just brilliant,
00:33so yeah, there are so many talented people, so for me, across the board, I'm excited and looking forward to the Games,
00:42not just on an international level, but totally on the domestic level, the British level as well.
00:47And what do you think the biggest surprise might be?
00:50OK, I'm going to give you a throttle name, and say this is a person I think, a young guy by the name of Charlie Dobson,
00:57he's run the 400m, and because you've got Matthew Hudson-Smith as the world leader, Charlie can just sneak his way through the rounds,
01:06but he's very capable as a runner, he's run 48.2 this year as well, so he's capable of running fast times,
01:13so maybe he's the one, a little person we need to pay a bit of attention to going through the rounds.
