Robert 'Crash' Craddock

Like, that's their viewing audience.

One in every three Americans watches a 60 Minutes episode each year, and that was – he got – it was a 13-minute segment.

And you think of the hundreds of American sportsmen that are cramming for publicity and cow-cow just swans in for 13 minutes.

The two lines from Dice Shepard that I enjoyed, Gerard –

One was of relevance to his future.

She said, I can't push him that hard because I don't want to break him.

He is physically developing.

And she basically hinted he will be a lot better than he is now because he is a slimline sprinter, a very rare one.

And the other one was when the interviewer said, so what's going to happen if he gets a girlfriend to Di Shepard?

And I thought, now this is officially interesting.

Yes.

And she said, what if you don't like her?

And she said, oh, no, that's fine.

I just would go up to his mum and dad and I'd just say simply this, she's got to go.

So I just, they are a very compelling couple.

As you say, the Dye Shepherd, you know, limping around and the, you know, the elderly coach and the young kid, there's a thousand reasons why they shouldn't gel, but they just do.

It's one of the most beautiful stories in sport.

And I'll leave you with this statement, Gerard, and we've said it before, but let's say it one last time.

If Gout Gout wins a gold medal in the sprinting at the Brisbane Olympics, it is officially the biggest sports story in Australian history, bar none.

Beautiful, Crash.
