It's going to be, look, Paris is one of two things. Either you've been there and you can't wait to go back, or you've never been there and you want to go. And the Olympics needs this in the biggest way. If you think back, the last three Olympics have been in Asia. We had the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Then COVID-19.
