00:00The great news about California and our games is that we're using UCLA as our village,
00:04so we feed thousands of students a day, and we house, well they, we don't, UCLA houses thousands
00:11of students a day, and so we're tried and tested and true. I eat the food once a week at least at
00:15UCLA, which is delicious, so I can vouch for that. So, but those are things that are important to us.
00:20So what does their food taste like? Are we giving them the kind of food that they're used to in
00:24their training? What's the diversity of our food options and choices? How quickly can the athletes
00:29get the food, right? Because I know wait times can be an issue for athletes. Some of them are
00:33off to the track, or off to the pool, or off to the gym. They need to grab their food and go. So
00:37a lot of that is what we're thinking about, but the great news for us is because it exists,
00:41we can actually go observe. They're not going to be Olympian and Paralympic athletes, but they're
00:45going to be young people and students, and so we can observe what they're experiencing and tailor
00:50that for our athletes. Paris is, is, is beautiful. It's, it's Paris, right? So, you know, we don't
00:56have an Eiffel Tower, but we have, we have our beaches. We have the Hollywood sign. We have
01:01Hollywood. We have glamour. We have the energy of California, the technology of California,
01:07the United States, and so we want our games to be a modern games, youthful, full of the, the
01:13optimism that Southern California brings to the world and the globe, and it's, it's going to be
01:18unique. It's going to be a California Olympics. It's going to be different than this. It has to
01:21be different than this, but we already have our stadiums built. It's a no-build games,
01:26and so I think that we're, we're going to do a great job.
