I mean, the greatest moment probably, well, the two greatest moments, I wasn't there for.
One was Philbert Baye, you know, running from the front in 1974 and breaking the 1,500-meter world record, which, you know, no one could believe at the time.
And then, of course, the Miracle Mile in 1954.
I think, you know, part of the Commonwealth Games fame does go back to Landy.
and Bannister in that incredible race in 1954.
And, you know, Bannister had been the first to break the four-minute mile in May.
Landy went to Finland and smashed that record, got it down to 3.57.9 in June, I think, and then they met in that race for the ages in Vancouver in 1954.
So, look, it's up there with the best for Commonwealth Games.
It can produce moments that are as good as the Olympic Games, and that's what we're hoping can happen again in Glasgow.
Good on you, Gerard.
Well, there's a lot on.
Commonwealth Games obviously is looming, and we'll chat about that in a moment, 50 days away.
So that's what I'm starting to get in my head right around, Gerard.
World Cup's so close.
French Open's right at the heart of it, so to speak, quarterfinal time, and what a tournament that's been.
Footy's at that, you know, sort of beautiful middle stage, and we know that we're going to have a remarkable weekend coming up, concluding on Monday and then next Wednesday when we say farewell to New Danaher.
So there's a whole lot happening there.
So, yeah, look, horse racing's going well.
Queensland Cannibal gets stronger and stronger, and Waller and McDonald have been remarkable.
So there's so much on, isn't there?
