## Transcript

Ten USA. Not in my way. Myself, M two. This might be my I don't know, maybe 17th time, now ever being in Paris, but my first time ever being at the Olympics. And I ain't going to lie, but this is quite an experience for me right now, you know, cause the only time that I've ever seen the Olympics was on TV. You know what I'm saying, but I always wanted to see what it felt like being there. So now, I got the opportunity to be here the best. After what I've seen out of these water polo girls, the chances are not slim at all. The chances are very big, and I got a feeling we're gonna get that fourth gold medal this year.

I tried it. I got to try it to see what it feels like. And boy. I was in the water with the girls for like 7 minutes. And I was treading water for 7 minutes, and I'm not gonna lie, but that was, like, the hardest 7 minutes in my life. I'm so hype right now about this sport, man, I wish I was playing it. I'm hyping myself up right now to ask them to let me on the team.
