It's an interesting one because we have these pins that I think many of us athletes know about.

But for those who don't, you're actually given a bag of sort of 300, 400 pins.

And the pins are your Olympic Committee flag, South Africa's Olympic Committee flag, Saskatchewan in my case.

And it is sort of almost a game during the Olympics to get all the pins.

So, for example, I would go over to Nigeria and say,

see me, can I, can we, can we pin swap?

Right.

So actually, you know, we, we spoke about our fight to get into the qualification criteria and be there.

And maybe sometimes we feel a little bit that we don't belong in some cases, but when you're at the games, I think we are rare and therefore we are in high demand actually.

So we need to be, we need to ration the pins actually, because everybody wants the South African, you know, the one South African pin from their village or, or Nigerian or whatever else.

Right.

So, um, yeah, I think I'm going to use that to my advantage.

I'll be in demand.

Yeah.

Thank you so much.

I had to do it, holding the South African flag up here.

Well done to everyone who's qualified.

Well done to everyone who's watching.

And I cannot wait to see a South African or continental African, but obviously I'm a little bit biased, podium coming very soon.

That would be the thing that would drive on production.
