Professional athletes have actually done so well for us in the past, and I believe this is a genuine extension of that, in regards to the kinds of sports and the kinds of individuals participating. The level of competitors is going to be quite intense by the end of this. There’s a great deal of individuals who either been available in with a little dance experience or appear like they’ve got a great deal of capacity. It’s a really interesting, favorable, uplifting cast, which I believe will be useful at this time of year.
