00:00Well, Nolan is one of the baddest young men I've ever met in terms of competition, in
00:05terms of taking the pressure on.
00:09And I do believe that with his help, with his parents' help and his coach's help, he's
00:14going to be fine.
00:15He's very exuberant, he's very happy because he's in this position, but wouldn't anybody
00:20be happy in that position?
00:21But I think he's going to be good.
00:23I'm staying here just to see that, not coming here just to see it, but staying here until
00:29that race on Monday, I do believe, that the 100 meters will be run.
00:35Who's his biggest challenger for the race?
00:38Himself.
00:39Why?
00:40Because he has to overcome the stuff with a capital S that's inside of him, and it's
00:49the clarity of relaxation to do the job that his body can do if he let it do, if he let
00:56it.
