00:00It was really just a huge honor to be, you know, chosen as the flag bearer.
00:03I mean, you know, I never get a chance to actually even go to opening ceremonies.
00:07So to be able to, you know, go there and do that and like just lead my team into the games,
00:12really just an incredible feeling.
00:14And now, you know, you do it a lot different.
00:16You're on a boat now instead of walking into the stadium.
00:18So it's a cool experience.
00:20Definitely, if the rain didn't come down at the end, I think it would have been a lot better.
00:24But I had fun.
00:25I enjoyed it.
00:26And it was really just a great experience.
00:28I'm just happy, you know, we're going to have some fans this time around.
00:31I mean, it's going to kind of give me that experience from my first one in Rio.
00:35So yeah, I'm just excited.
00:36I mean, Paris loves how I can feel here.
00:38So definitely, I'm just like excited to really be a part of the games and be here.
