It is not a new narrative, he said.

The Olympics were going to happen, Costas said.
It would certainly be my expectation that we would not shy away from that.
So is Disneyland responsible for bringing people to Florida now?
Carillo noted shes going to cover open water swimming for a couple days.
Costas asked, Do you plan to take a dip yourself?
Carillo answered, Absolutely not.
