And, uh, the first Commonwealth Games I went to do it and worked on was 40 years ago in Scotland.

It was in Scotland, it was in Scotland, uh, in Edinburgh.

And there was a massive boycott, an African boycott of those games.

And, uh,

They were still very, very enjoyable.

I was working as a reporter for Channel 10, so a very different role.

But, you know, getting my hands dirty every day.

So, yeah, I love the Commonwealth Games.

I mean, the Olympics are...

the pinnacle, always will be.

They've got a few problems at the moment, I think, with the athletes.

But that's another story.

But now I am looking forward to it.

The Commonwealth Games and Seven are throwing a lot into it.

There's so many.

I mean, Kieran McCann running into the stadium in Melbourne.

It's hard to just... You had to be there, didn't you?

I mean, it was just amazing.

And, you know, her story, of course.

But Ollie Hoare, you know, running down two world champions from the top of the straight at Birmingham to win a 1,500-metre gold medal that only Herb Elliott had been able to achieve.
