So to answer your question, cross country skiing and the quota system, it is still if you have an Olympic dream and you put the work in and you sacrifice it, there is a pathway.

If you don't start at 12 years old or two years old, I started at 32 years old.

I'm 35 now.

and I have a child, there is a pathway to make it, which I think is an opportunity to grow the bottom end of the table of nations, as you referred to.

And now I'm doing good with it.

That's the thing.

I'm not using this as my ticket to go to the Olympics, one and done.

Ciao for now.

Thanks for having me.

I believe and I want to contribute and become a role model in the process, as we've spoken about, to pave the way for more to come.

Let's put a bet on it.

That'll be fun.

I'll tell you what's said in the group.

Hey, I'm coming through Oslo this weekend.

Who has a sofa for me to crash on?

Yes, I do.

It grew in the most organic of ways.

You would be at an event and you'd see Joey from Uruguay all of a sudden.

And then he didn't have someone to wax his skis.

So why don't you come and join me in Mexico over here?
