The reporter and the Athlete sitting down for a formal interview.



Max Power
Now that Jenga is an official Olympic event
are you excited that you will be
part of the Olympic's?

Sebastian
To represent my country is an honour!
 I didn't believe this day will ever come,
 such a neglected sport, to run as fast
 as Usain Bolt, is that a skill? Really?
 To hold steady nerves and push a block from a
tower takes skill

Max
As an official athlete now you must have a
training schedule? What I want to know is what
do you do in training?

Sebastian
Hour finger exercises (moves fingers)
Half hour meditation to hold nerves

Max
So keeping your nerves is really that important?
Don't you ever practice block removing techniques

Sebastian
Be one with the block, be one with the tower

Max
You are considered to be Britian's greatest
Jenga player, winning almost every competition
that the Chinese have not entered. Do you believe
you can beat them?

Sebastian
To be honest no, can I say that? oh, re take
Yes, Yes I can, they may have fast hands and
steady nerves, but I am British!

Max
So you will probably fail at the last hurdle
like most brits?

Sebastian
You my friend are not British, you my friend are a loser!

Max
 Ok moving on, is Jenga your life?

Sebastian
Jenga is more than my life its my... erm... life.
Since I was a little kid, I was in an
advertisement you know take one
from the bottom and put it on top

INSERT TV advertisement

Max
In the international Jenga world
championships you were humiliated in the final
by Jun Ji Sang. Is that still on your mind?

Sebastian V.O
 It will always be on my mind, I will take that to
the grave, noooo.
