And then in the last... So I mean 2023, actually. And then 2024, the biggest we saw was paddle. So two racquet sports, interestingly. Pickleball grew a lot in the United States. Paddle... which people in the States call padel, but paddle, which is what it's called internationally, has just taken off. And so that's a pretty fascinating game too. I grew up playing squash and tennis.

So for me, paddle's like maybe the most fun game I've ever played because it's a sort of perfect hybrid of the two. Are you familiar with what it looks like? Yeah. So it's, you know, the whole glass courts all the way around and you're sort of, you're sort of in a tennis court in like, you know, a glass cage and you can essentially play the ball off of anything.
