Yeah, it's an interesting crowd.
It's a lot of like influencers and very attractive people, to be honest.
It's quite a different sporting event that I've usually been to normally sort of looking at a packed stadium with 60, 80,000 people watching a set sport.
But here you've got three different sports and there's corporate areas and people mingling out the back.
And it's a very, very different crowd to one that you would be normally used to.
But because there are so few people here and I haven't even sold all the seats as well.
Mm.
I've kind of just been giving out tickets to like influencers and people who are of note or in this movement as such.
So it's nothing like I've ever seen before.
Yeah, it's cool.
Like I would love to see traditional sport do something like that.
It would be amazing to have a swimming pool next to an athletics track and watch the genuine best athletes in the world compete.
And, you know, they've got weightlifting there as well.
So in terms of like a spectator experience, it is great, but clearly you can't have too many fans because you just couldn't fit that all.
It's sort of a big stadium and the viewing experience wouldn't be great.
But in terms of like points for uniqueness, it's pretty cool.
Effectively, these owners backed by billionaires believe that athletes should be paid more for a starting point.
So their idea is that in the traditional sports like swimming and athletics, they need to be paid a bit more.
And they also believe that a lot of athletes in traditional sport are cheating the system anyway, so why not just open the...
net up and let everyone basically take what you want.
