SOUNDBITE: (English) Mark McMorris:
(On the atmosphere at the Games).
"When I started competing on the first day, I realised the magnitude of the Olympics. The huge grandstand at the bottom, how loud it was. how intense it was and even X games doesn't stand to that. It's different. X Games is the biggest thing in action sport. Olympics is the biggest thing in all sports. So it comes around every four years and a lot of people work their butt off for that opportunity every four years. So it holds a special place in your heart and it's more than I ever thought it would be and standing on that podium tonight and hearing the national anthem was pretty cool."
