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.
