00:00I'm sorry that the headline that is eclipsing the olympics has to be something so
00:09unrelated to the spirit of the games it really runs contrary to everything that the olympics
00:15should be right the whole point of sport is to bring people together in one of very few remaining
00:22common languages right that of the human body that of the human spirit that of the competitive
00:26spirit the capacity to break not only records but especially in our sport literally the human limit
00:34like how wonderful is that and so to have such divisive headlines try and make their way into
00:43what is in my head a very sacred and you know this is like a one of very few remaining safe spaces
00:50that i think people can communicate and share culture and be fully themselves because even
00:56if you and i don't speak the same language we both know that it hurts when you fall and it feels good
01:00when you win right and that we all know what how terrifying it is when you're about to try a new
01:05trick and how ecstatic you are when you land it for the first time that is a universal language so
01:11um i'm it makes me sad to see that that is the headline right now um and as someone who's been
01:18caught in the crossfire before i i feel sorry for for the athletes
01:32you
