Can you just explain to me though? And 7 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 3: I know, and I didn't want to dip straight to it, 8 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 3: but I'm fascinated. Explain to me the disqualification. 9 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 4: So basically in the medley, you know, if you roll 10 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,639 Speaker 4: over onto your stomach, you get disqualificated, disqualified. So it's 11 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 4: early in the morning, I get it than so yeah, unfortunately, 12 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 4: you know, I got a bad hand, but there was 13 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 4: day two of the meet, so I really just had 14 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 4: to pick myself up and pay myself through. 15 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, because there. 16 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,279 Speaker 3: Would be a lot of that too. I mean, if 17 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,559 Speaker 3: you're not hitting, and you did because you killed it, 18 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 3: but if you're not swimming the way you were hoping 19 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,919 Speaker 3: to swim, there's a big mental challenge there isn't. 20 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: There one hundred percent? 21 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 4: I think it kind of goes without saying that, Like, 22 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:58,959 Speaker 4: you know, that was a huge blow for me. I 23 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 4: was ranked second or third for that event, and you 24 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 4: know had that opportunity taken away to potentially set up 25 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 4: on the metal dice for Australia. So yeah, yeah, no, 26 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,479 Speaker 4: it was a big blow, but can't do much. 27 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 2: About it now life, Kaylie. I cannot believe how strong 28 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 2: our swim team is at the moment. This is without 29 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 2: a doubt, Australia get excited for Paris because I cannot 30 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 2: believe we are so strong. We are dominating the world 31 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 2: at the moment. And I mean, the guys were just 32 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 2: on fire. We need to talk. We're just going to 33 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 2: throw this out there because there is talk that the 34 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,639 Speaker 2: Americans do a medal tally different to ours, don't they, Kaylie? 35 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 2: They like to what instead of showing who wins the 36 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 2: most golds, what they do at the top of the 37 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 2: list they put whoever's won the most medals gold, silver 38 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 2: or bronze. So they actually had themselves higher than us, Yeah, 39 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 2: because they had won more silver and bronze than we 40 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 2: did and won more medals over all. Which is is 41 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 2: there's always something that the Americans have done. Are they 42 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 2: the only country to do that? Do you know, Caylie or. 43 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 4: Look? To be honest, I haven't really paid much attention 44 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 4: in the past. I do remember somewhere along the along 45 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 4: the lines, it was said that it was the country 46 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 4: that had the most amount of golds, and if we 47 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 4: go off that Australia, we did dominate. So yeah, it 48 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 4: was Yeah, it's hard to say, but the Americans did 49 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 4: a really good job and they did come away with 50 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 4: the most amount of metals, not the most amount of gold. 51 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: Go Australia, yea, yeah, yeah. 52 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 2: But the girls at the moment, Kaylie, you girls are 53 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 2: so dominant at the moment. And the other one I 54 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 2: need to talk about is Molly o'kollahan calahan is.
