00:00I feel heartbroken about what's happened in the United States when, you know, I'm pretty sure you're referencing ICE and some of the protests and things like that.
00:09I think that as a country, we need to focus on respecting everybody's rights and making sure that we're treating our citizens as well as anybody with love and respect.
00:20And I hope that when people look at athletes competing in the Olympics, they realize that that's the America that we're trying to represent.
00:26It brings up mixed emotions to represent the U.S. right now, I think.
00:31It's a little hard. There's obviously a lot going on that I'm not the biggest fan of, and I think a lot of people aren't.
00:37If it aligns with my moral values, I feel like I'm representing it.
00:42Just because I'm wearing the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the U.S.
00:48So, yeah, I just kind of want to do it for my friends and my family and the people that support me getting here.
