I think we got our main message across, that New York is a place that will welcome athletes, teams, fans from Africa like no other city can. We showed how New York will celebrate Africans and African athletes.

In the Statue of Liberty, we see a symbol that all are welcome and have a fair chance to succeed. In New York, our two torches can come together – a place to compete and to dream.

I would think that would be a message to try to get across to Australians, to try to get them to think about China in a different way.

We went into this with an uncompromising attitude that we would put a message across. Some people don't like what we're doing anymore, but the time has passed for singing about girls and shoes and dogs. We're not that band anymore and we don't want to be that band anymore. That's in the past and there's a lot more to say now.

The message is, 'You're not welcome here -- you have to go there,'

The British fans really know hoe to get behind their athletes.
