00:00Oh, good question. I think for me it would be the opening ceremony. It was just like
00:19really special. I messaged my friends afterwards, my family. I was like, whatever happens from
00:24this moment, it's all been worth it just to be part of that opening ceremony.
00:28The favorite moment for me is I got to meet a Minnesota Timberwolves Anthony Edwards during
00:33opening ceremonies. I'm a big fan of his, so it was super cool to meet him and say like,
00:38oh, I'm his teammate.
00:41Tonight I'm going to go watch the gymnastics and I think that's going to be my highlight,
00:45to see Simone Biles perform live. I'm a big fan of her and this is one of the main reasons
00:51I also came to Paris for the Olympics.
00:54I said the judokas as a collective. Honestly, top. After that, the march, we don't talk about it,
01:01but the judokas as a collective, honestly, I loved it.
01:06Obviously, the 100m Noah Lyles, that was incredible. And the race was so close. It was like, who won?
01:13Watching the solemn canoeing of Jessica Fox from Australia, of winning the C1 and the K1.
01:23To me, that's unheard of.
01:25Watching our women's squad cross the line. That was incredible.
01:29We knew that they had won before they knew that they had won and seeing them celebrate,
01:33I think it was the start of amazing medals for rowing for Team GB.
01:47Honestly, having my wife and my parents here at Tokyo was pretty lonely in that sense.
01:52I'm very excited to have them all here and be able to share this experience with them.
01:56To me, my family is everything, so having them there to watch, to celebrate,
02:00and then to just support us was everything to me.
