00:00Oh, good question. I think for me it would be the opening ceremony. It was just like

00:26really special. I messaged my friends afterwards, my family. I was like,

00:30whatever happens from this moment, it's all been worth it just to be part of that opening ceremony.

00:36The favorite moment for me is I got to meet Minnesota Timberwolves Anthony Edwards during

00:41opening ceremonies. I'm a big fan of his, so it was super cool to meet him and say like,

00:46oh I'm his teammate. Tonight I'm gonna go watch the gymnastics and I think that's gonna be my

00:52highlight, to see Simone Biles perform live. I'm a big fan of her and this is one of the main

00:58reasons I also came to Paris for the Olympics. I said the judokas as a collective. Honestly,

01:06top. After that, the march, we don't talk about it, but the judokas as a collective,

01:11honestly, I loved it. Obviously, the 100 meters, Noah Lyles, that was incredible

01:17and the race was so close. It was like, who won? Watching the solemn canoeing of

01:24Jessica Fox from Australia, of winning the C1 and the K1, to me that's unheard of.

01:33Watching our women's quad cross the line, that was incredible. We knew that they had won before

01:38they knew that they had won and seeing them celebrate, I think it was the start of amazing

01:43medals for rowing for Team GB. Honestly, having my wife and my parents here at Tokyo was pretty

01:58lonely in that sense. Yeah, I'm very excited to have them all here and be able to share this

02:02experience with them. To me, my family is everything, so having them there to watch,

02:06to celebrate and then to just support us was everything to me.
