00:00And Povaltin, you kind of see the personality of the athlete in their socks.

00:04Do you try and make a statement with your socks?

00:06Yeah, I do from time to time.

00:08You know, there's like meaning, at least for me, that it meant something for me.

00:12And at the same time, it is a reminder for me that,

00:15hey, I'm still doing a sport.

00:17It's just a sport.

00:19Don't be too damn serious about it, you know.

00:22And that's how I kind of still enjoy the game.

00:24And, you know, kind of that's one of the things of psychology as well,

00:28that sports psychology helped me.

00:29But at the same time, it's a reminder that this is a game.

00:33Take it seriously.

00:34But at the same time, not so much.

00:37You know what I mean?

00:37And that's why I have these funky socks.

00:39Like socks that just sometimes are way too colorful.

00:43But very cute.

00:44Yeah, it is.

00:47Do you have a favorite pair or do you have a favorite color or design for your socks?

00:52Actually, I try to rotate them as randomly as I can.

00:56Well, I try to not use repetitive socks.

00:58That's why I have way too much socks now.

01:01But I don't want to stick to one and have this pamahiin in a way.

01:07Because what if I forget?

01:09And then, unfortunately, my competitions are sometimes back to back.

01:16Yeah, so I try to avoid having that one special one.

01:22But all of them are special.

01:24Especially the ones that I win championships on.

01:27I keep it.

01:28I frame it.

01:28And yeah, it's going to be a souvenir that I would say,

01:31Hey, I was wearing that when I won this, you know?

01:33Oh, I was going to ask, Nel.

01:34So like, for example, if you're wearing Tokyo, you already hid those socks?

01:38Yes, yes.

01:39When you say you already hid them,

01:40meaning they're in a special place no longer to be used?

01:43Or you still use them?

01:45Yes.

01:46No, no, no.

01:46I don't use them anymore.

01:48They're like a token of that moment.

01:50They're reserved to that moment.

01:52But your socks are so cute.

01:53Are these custom made for you?

01:55Or do you buy them online?

01:57Or you just see it in the store randomly, and then you pick it up?

02:00How is that?

02:01A mix of all.

02:02I have a sock with the face of Coach,

02:05which nobody has seen because he said he's going to kill me if I ever use it.

02:09I was going to say, we didn't see that in Tokyo.

02:11Yeah.

02:12I do have socks that, you know, I buy online.

02:14That I see, oh, this is quite nice.

02:16And then there are some random socks that I just see in the stores,

02:19you know, walking around the city.

02:21I was like, hey, this will be interesting.

02:22This is nice.

02:24Yeah.

02:24And then sometimes I pick it up and I use it the next day.

02:27It's just, how do you say, reliving, I guess.

02:30Maybe after this, EJ, you'll get a lot of socks from fans and supporters from all over the world.

02:37Maybe they'll put their faces.

02:38Please send it.

02:39Send it.

02:40That would even be more interesting.

02:41That would be fun.

02:42I'm going to look for a cool pair of socks and send it to you, okay?

02:46Yes, please.

02:47All the way to Italy, your secret location.

02:49Just kidding.

02:50Hahaha.
