I had competed twice before but it was Botswana, in the Philippines, so you know being on home soil during pride month you know, I wanted to kind of make that statement and show my pride and my true colours, coming into World's Strongest Man that year so you know not only was I favourited to be in the finals, um but it was also you know kind of me making a statement, and like you said kind of saying you know I’m here, this is me, I’m not afraid of what anybody thinks anymore and uh really just you know was able to kind of you know hold my head high and be really proud of that entire competition. in Florida in June which is pride month and really decided to just come out and make a statement, as you know this is my first World Strongest Man in the United States. Rob: Yeah you know it's um it definitely was a statement and you know the, it started out with just the leggings, um back when I was God, I was competing as a, as a 105 kilo athlete, um back in 2015 when I first met my husband Joey, and um you know it just kind of evolved into you know, just from wearing some bright orange lycra, all the way to you know the crazy rainbow swirlies that we see now and you know, talking about the mohawk, so World's Strongest Man 2019 uh was slated to be one of my best competitions and to this day it still was and World's Strongest Man that year happening in the U.S. Radzi: So it is early and you still got a smile on your face but I’ve got to start by talking about the word courage, because that's the word I often think about when I think of you, because it's one thing coming out as an openly gay strongman the only person to do it in the professional community but it's another thing to have your hair in a rainbow mohawk, which looks incredible by the way having rainbow coloured lycra and basically say to the world I am what I am, I don't give a, I don't care what you think. Thank you very much for waking up early for this because it's, what time where you are?
