This is meant to be constructive. Please stop with long rambling interview questions with lengthy preambles more typical of college lecture halls or the White House press room... You are embarrassing the athlete and embarrassing yourselves with lack of cultural understanding.
A few simple and easy questions: did you like the course? will you come back to this race later? do you think you can go faster? how was your training? do you know what will be your next race? how will you relax later? etc

Even that’s a lot of words for the English challenged, so better to make it simpler: Like course? Come back? Go faster? How training? Next race? How relax?
This way, they can easily hear the question keyword and rattle off the answer they practiced in English class.
Q: “What does this mean to you?”
A: “It means a lot”
