00:00 As only the French can do, they're very good at doing something very special.
00:03 So I think what the Australian audiences are going to see and the people who are going to the games
00:08 is, you know, the beach volleyball, you know, 15,000 seat temporary stadium under the Eiffel Tower.
00:14 Where else in France do you have a question for the Palace of Versailles?
00:18 And you're also going to have, for the skateboarding, that's going to be in the Palais de Concorde.
00:22 I mean, how special are the French games going to be?
00:25 No, we never put out a medal count. As I often say to media,
00:30 you don't get the grand final score from an AFL or a rugby league coach before the grand final.
00:34 So, but there are some great opportunities for Australian athletes in across a multiple
00:38 number of sports. And our job, the AAC, is to make sure they have every opportunity to succeed.
00:43 I've been in many sports over my time, and they have been talking about the stadium for
00:47 Canberra for some time. It's sort of moved around a bit. It was going to be down near the city.
00:50 That's a decision, obviously, for the government, the people of Canberra.
