00:00Peaceful protest is entirely legitimate in many countries of the world, and we draw a line, as we said earlier on, at violence.
00:11That has no place at the Olympic Games, but I think it's very much something that's apart from, I honestly don't know how many protesters there were and so on,
00:19but I think we just need to get on with the Games which will spread a strong message of unity and peace to the world, which I think is very important at this moment in time.
00:29We didn't have a discussion, I think, with them about the specific issue because I think they clarified, they made it very clear that there were no ice boots on the ground here in Milan,
00:40and it was purely an administrative role, I think, in Rome or something.
00:44So far be it from me to say that the issue has been blown out of proportion.
00:49I wouldn't dare to assume to put those words into other people's mouths, but I think they clarified pretty quickly that that was not an issue here,
00:59that there were not ice agents on the ground as the protesters were, I think, some of the protesters were suggesting.
01:06Thank you very much.
