00:00I know you said that was the last question, but I just want to say something really quickly.
00:05The reason I was late is that I just found out that my grandma passed away.
00:09And she was like a really, she was a really big part of my life growing up.
00:15And someone I looked up to immensely.
00:17She was such a strong, she was a fighter.
00:22And I think what's so interesting is that a lot of people just cruised through life.
00:25But she was a steamship.
00:27Like this woman commanded life,
00:29and she grabbed it by the reins,
00:31and she made it into what she wanted it to be.
00:34And she inspired me so much.
00:36The last time I saw her, before I came to the Olympics,
00:38she was very sick, so I knew that this was a possibility.
00:41I didn't promise her that I was going to win,
00:43but I did promise her that I was going to be brave.
00:45Like she has been brave.
00:46And that's why I keep referring to this theme of like betting on myself
00:50and like being brave and taking risks.
00:52It actually goes back to that promise that I made my grandma.
00:54And so I'm really happy that I was able to,
00:57وفتح أن أمتلك وفتح أن أفعلها
01:00وفتح أن أفعلها فإنها مرة الأخرى
01:02وفتح أن أفعلها لأنني أفعلها
01:04ولكني أفعلها فإنها ما كانت حقاً
