00:00I just want to say something really quickly, um, the reason I was late is that I just found out
00:05that my grandma passed away, and, um, she was like a really, she was a really big part of my
00:11life, um, growing up, and someone I looked up to immensely, she was such a strong, she was a fighter,
00:20and I think what's so interesting is that a lot of people just cruised through life, but she was a
00:24steamship, like, this woman commanded life, and she grabbed it by the reins, and she made it into
00:29what she wanted it to be, and she inspired me so much, the last time I saw her, before I
00:35came to the Olympics, she was very sick, so I knew that this was a possibility, um, I didn't promise
00:40her that I was gonna win, but I did promise her that I was gonna be brave, like, she has
00:43been brave, and that's why I keep referring to this theme of, like, betting on myself, and, like, being brave,
00:48and taking risks, it actually goes back to that promise that I made my grandma, and so I'm really happy
00:53that I was able to uphold that, um, and hopefully do her proud, but, um, it's also a really difficult
00:59time
00:59for me now, so I really apologize for being late, but, like, that's what was going on. Sorry.
