00:00Mark, what does it mean to you to have the Olympic rings on your chest?
00:03Yeah, obviously very special, you know, for myself, my family, growing up watching it,
00:10no matter what event or sport, it's a pretty crazy thing that I'll be able to, you know,
00:16run out there and represent my country.
00:20What did your mum say when you told her?
00:23Um, mate, it's obviously been quite a crazy year, so I guess she was, you know,
00:32mind-blown to think that this was even, I guess, an opportunity.
00:37So, yeah, I guess mum and, you know, the rest of my family, you know,
00:42they're proud and really excited for me and my team to see how we go.
