I've seen it with other, like, journalists, particularly kind of like...

you know, not trackside, down in kind of the bowels of the stadium where there's a lot more journalists, print, social, whatever it is, and they won't talk to them and you'll get a reputation.

And what I've seen of late as well is it's more of like the influencers now who have a bit of a profile who have now gone in there and it's all about, it's not even about performances, it's about,

You know, where did you get your hair done?

Where did you get your nails done?

And that's where an awful lot of the athletes will actually gravitate towards because it's the easy one.

So it is a little bit difficult and I'm aware of my position as a reporter.

So I have to be a little bit like, OK, well, you know, a lot of what I'm about is the reaction, is what has just happened.

Give us your reaction.

So I have to kind of I have to think of that.

But sometimes, yeah, I would like to kind of.

find out a little bit more.

But what you kind of get as well, and it can be well kind of manned.

So they will have an attache with them and they'll just chop it.

Yeah.

They'll literally just pull you.

And particularly if it's, say, some big name, they will have someone, and you'll only get one question.

So what people don't see is that other person in the corner of my eyeline and is telling me, wrap it up, out.

Or else they'll just literally pull that person.

So it is tricky.
