It's like you get a real insight into how elite athletes live and breathe.

And then from the other side of that too, you realise, jeez, they're just the same as everybody else.

They're no different.

Do you know, you think, you're like, what?

And you see them and you go, it's mad.

Do you know, so it's good from both sides.

Do you ever think about approaching anything?

Yeah, like we got photos when they're down and stuff and a few different ones.

And yeah, we actually, in those Olympics, Simone Biles, she'd been out obviously for a long time with mental health and stuff.

So she wasn't doing anything.

photos and things like that so people were asking and she had like friends there saying no she's not doing any photos which is understandable yeah because she was massive and yeah a few different ones like Shane Laurie he actually came into the village for Ireland one of the nights and got photos and stuff and then I think Lebron James was in the village and stuff as well so you're seeing all these different characters and stuff and it's like it's class

It's mad when you think about it that way isn't it.

100% and like even you're so right like even standing in the queue, Natal was like Natal like raffling like he's standing there and he was just queuing up like everybody else.

Do you know there was no like getting to the front or you know just queuing up like everybody else.

There's nowhere else in the world he'd have to queue.

100%.

Other than here.

Yeah.

It's crazy.

And then even when you do ask them for photos, like a lot of them just be like, yeah, yeah, of course.
