1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: This is the Fitzy and Whipper with Kate Richie podcast.

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 2: Let's talk about Gergat if you've just woken up this morning.

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 2: Gergat unfortunately finished fourth and he's two hundred meter semi

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 2: at the World Championships Athletics in Tokyo last night, so

5
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 2: he doesn't go through to the final. His time was

6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 2: twenty point three six. Now, he'd be disappointed with that

7
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 2: because he's run under twenty before. That was wind assisted,

8
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 2: but he looked for a seventeen year old kid to

9
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 2: put that into.

10
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: Perspective for everyone out there right world stage.

11
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 2: Usain Bolt Helsinki in two thousand and five. Now, Usain

12
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 2: Bolt was two weeks out from his nineteenth birthday, so

13
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: he was eighteen seventeen, right, and he finished fourth in

14
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 2: his semifinal. Usain Bolt with a time of twenty point six' eight,

15
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 2: so gout he's actually quicker than him at.

16
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: The moment's comparison, Like you just what we don't understand.

17
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: There's a lot of Australians thinking that his kid's going

18
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 2: to win gold medal, but like he's just got so

19
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: much more to go and it's exciting. Can I just

20
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: talk about I didn't know this story. But do you

21
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: know at the Olympics sometimes there's always a runner that

22
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: and you know it's in the swimming as well, with

23
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 2: Eddie the Eeld, Remember Eddie, there's always one runner that's Eric.

24
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: Was Eric or Eddie? It was? He was the Winter

25
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: Olympics guy, the jumper. Yeah, what was he? Jackman stars

26
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 1: in the film.

27
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 2: That's right.

28
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: It's a great film, by the way.

29
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 2: So and I've always thought to myself, don't you have

30
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 2: to qualify with the time to actually compete.

31
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: At the Olympics.

32
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 3: Of course you do, but I think you just need

33
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 3: to be the best on offer, best of a bunch,

34
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,279
Speaker 3: best out of your nation to represent because you can't block.

35
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 3: It's a great question fits because you think the category

36
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 3: is going to allow on the top at due to

37
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 3: a certain time or speed.

38
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's okay. There's one. There was a Somalian

39
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: woman who competed in the one hundred meters sprint on

40
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: the world stage.

41
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: And this is the thing.

42
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 2: Everyone's going unbelievable that she's out there, this is crazy.

43
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: But unfortunately, when you run twenty one seconds in the

44
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: one hundred meters, you actually finished ten seconds behind the.

45
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: Leaders in your race. People have to ask questions.

46
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 2: There have been questions, asks, and unfortunately they've found out

47
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: that the chair the chairwoman of Somalia's Athletics Federation, has

48
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: just given the spot to her niece so she can

49
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 2: have a free trip away. Is she the fastest?

50
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: Awesome, She's not Kate.

00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: She's nowhere near the but not fastest in the world,

52

Speaker 2: but fastest from that group.

56
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:05,799
