Oh my gosh, okay, so right now I'm actually in Marseille.
I'm having a COMPARI sprits overlooking the port. There's some
Parisian music playing. I don't know if you can hear
it in the background. But because yet, I didn't realize
that games are being held outside of Paris. So when
I bought tickets to like the soccer matches, I didn't
realize it'd be a two hour and a four hour trip.
But it is great. Yeah, I was. I was so ready.
(00:27):
I was in the lottery. I was saying, oh, soccer
tickets here, I've got to get them. Oh best category.
Oh wait, le own it to Mars. Oh Mar say
four hours. All right, we're explooring France.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
So wait a minute, I guess I'm confused. Are you
over there? Are you over there for fun? Or are
you over there for work?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
No? No, for for fun. I just I just couldn't handle.
I wanted to share, you know, because I grew up swimming,
I like really have always wanted to go to the Olympics.
And years ago and I found I was gonna be
in Paris, and I found out how to sign up
for the lottery. I'm like, no, I this is the one.
I mean La. Maybe we'll go to La. But I
wanted to go to frances to the Olympics. So I'm
(01:07):
so excited to be here.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Good for you, No, Juliana, I'll tell you, I have
never been to any of the Olympic Games, and I
like you, I didn't grow up a swimmer, but I
am dying to go to see the Olympics. And I
would go see any Olympic event, Like I love the
I love the Winter Olympics more than the Summer Olympics.
But dude, I bet it's it's got to be amazing there.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
I mean the camaraderie, like okay, like let's take something.
You know, it's a sport that's growing. But in there,
it was like people were trying to be quiet, like
say before a golf match, you know, before they're about
to kiyok. So here it's like they're like quiet for
the start, quite for the start, and then it's just
like dead silence, and then the marker goes off and
it's just like wow, and people are cheering. And then
(01:50):
when you walk around in the city of Paris, it's
been even in Marcella leon. It's run very smoothly, like
there's people in there's a ton of volunteers. These people
who we thought were in green shirts were just like
workers or volunteers, and a lot of them speak English,
so you say, hey, I don't know the language. But
it's actually been really easy to get around because you
go up and you're like here or there's been signage,
and it's just been so fun because everyone's excited to
(02:12):
see the games, you know, regardless of the sport. It's
been fun to just see in this atmosphere.

built in Paris kind of on the outskirts to encourage
more folks in Paris to go out there. And then

wasn't in the big stadium, but it was in the
smaller Greenhouse Stadium and I saw men's doubles US play
