Asked about this at a press conference after the win, Norris looked down and let out a small laugh. The motif caused a slight discomfort and sowed silence in the cozy room.
“It’s an honor when someone like him takes the time to show you respect for what you do,” the young man who hadn’t met him before he left since he was busy with preparations.
“He told me he was my lucky charm because of my victory,” he added, not knowing if he would see him again one day.

– I met a lot of people this weekend. Donald is someone I have a lot of respect for, in many ways. When someone like him recognizes what you achieve, the effort you put in and the ethics you put into your work, you should be grateful.
“It was a really cool moment,” concluded the winner.
