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. Denied Tokyo 2020. So that was held in 2021. COVID, no fans.

And then Beijing held the Winter Games in the winter of 2022, February. Again, no fans. So we've had two Olympic Games with no fans. What do you mean no fans? COVID. Oh, because people didn't... I see.

Because of COVID, there were no fans. And you guys were mentioning this. Somebody mentioned it before. You work your whole life to make the Olympics. It's four years of training for a minute, two minutes, whatever it ends up being for some of the athletes. You want your family there. And none of the families could go to Tokyo or to Beijing to the last summer and winter games.

So that is one of the things that I am more excited about.

This will be the first time that fans are in the stands at the Olympics since February of 2018. So six years and about five months or six months.

And that's why, to what Will was just saying, that's why I think this is a big Games for the Olympic movement. And it's in a great place in Paris because, as you mentioned, the backgrounds – Paris is just such an aspirational city – But L.A. 2028, we haven't had a Summer Olympics here since Atlanta back in the late 90s. And we haven't had the Olympics in the U.S. since Salt Lake in 2002.

So if you're 30, right, so 26 years between Olympics in the U.S., if you're 30, you don't ever remember the Olympics being contested in America.
