One of the fun activities the organizers planned is something called the Creativity Festival. If I remember correctly the objective is to build an egg holder that takes the longest amount of time to fall from a given height. Each team is interviewed in turn while they're hard at work, and this is played back in real time on a large screen. When they ask us a question about our favourite neighbours to the south, Ali thunderously informs Team USA, "You're going down!" This elicits a proportionately hostile response. The interviewers move on to avoid an international incident. |
