Point number one USA her name is Vivian Robinson. They call me Olympic Super fan. Her game. I'm from California too. Out playing everyone in Olympic spirit. My mom, she was *** volunteer at UCL *** uh Olympic village in 1984 Olympics. She would take the press to interview the athletes and she spoke French. But 40 years later, Vivian speaks French. So Tin Mess Roma and seemingly everything else. And it took me about *** year to put my outfit together and I put all the little Eiffel Towers around the rim and I just tried to make it as Paris as I could. We, this is number seven, I went to London, Athens Sydney in Rio. No, I'm in Paris. Being an Olympic Super fan is *** lot of things cheap. Not one of them.
