Well, Noel is one of the baddest young men I've ever met in terms of competition, in
00:06
terms of taking the pressure on.
00:09
And I do believe that with his help, with his parents' help and his coach's help, he's
00:14
going to be fine.
00:15
He's very exuberant, he's very happy because he's in this position, but wouldn't anybody
00:20
be happy in that position?
00:21
But I think he's going to be good.
00:23
I'm staying here just to see that, not coming here just to see it, but staying here until
00:29
that race on Monday, I do believe, that the 100 meters will be run.
00:35
Himself.
00:36
Why?
00:37
Because he has to overcome the stuff with a capital S that's inside of him, and it's
00:46
the clarity of relaxation to do the job that his body can do if he let it do, if he let
00:53
it.
00:54
Etonians?
00:55
Oh, gosh, yes.
00:56
What do you see there?
00:57
I see what the women have, I think, in the history of the Games, because there's the
01:01
smaller countries also have women that we haven't heard of, but heard of in their countries,
01:05
that's going to make a big contribution to the history of the Olympic Games.
01:08
I wish I could give you more insight of the women, but I tell you, track and field and
01:14
all the other sports, too, that women have, that is going to be conducive to the education
01:20
of the Olympic Games.
01:22
And I think 1968, God gave me the vision to see that.
01:27
Now it's happening, so my sacrifice was not in vain.
