Speaker 2: Hello, lady, thank you?

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 3: Has the feeling worn off in any way?

5
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 4: I don't think I've felt the feeling yet.

6
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: That's Has it hit you yet? Was there a time

7
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: on the plane or anything like that, Arion where you

8
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: just went out, I'm Olympic champion.

9
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 4: Well, actually, yesterday I did another radio interview and the

10
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 4: you know, the host interviewed me like introduced me as

11
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 4: the Olympic champion. I was like, wow, that's that's pretty crazy.

12
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 4: But I mean after my last race, like way out

13
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 4: of the school and went through the mixed zone and

14
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 4: finished all that, I just kind of like burst some tears.

15
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 4: It was just kind of like a release. And I

16
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 4: think while I'm here, it's definitely gonna set in talking

17
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 4: about it a lot with people like yourself.

18
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: Can we ask how you when you want your first

19
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: goal in the in the four hundred meters? Mom missed

20
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: your phone call. One phone call. You just wanted to

21
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: speak to mom and dad and she she didn't pick up. Arian.

22
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's pretty funny. I don't really talk to

23
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 4: them that much when I'm racing, but I thought, oh,

24
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 4: I'd better give them a quick spacetime or something, and

25
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 4: they missed it. And I actually tried to call it

26
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 4: twice and I was like, oh, I'll go again. I'm

27
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 4: not really known for sticking up on the first call. Anyway.

28
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 4: They called me back that night and I was asleep,

29
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 4: and then I was like, I missed their call. But

30
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 4: I found out later down the week they were all

31
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 4: on make Peace Island having a great time.

32
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 3: They don't care today. That's a shame, isn't it. Talking

33
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 3: about I wasie, spirit, you said, your daughter the Olympics

34
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 3: and then you go and party elsewhere.

35
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: What else were they doing? Because that looked that was

36
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: up in NUSA, wasn't it.

37
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, So all the pods up there were very spoiled.

38
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 4: They spent you know, the time up in Noos. So

39
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 4: they got to make Peace is Island a couple of times.

40
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 4: I think they would treat it a bit like royalty

41
00:01:59,520 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 4: up there.

42
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 3: And there you are in a COVID Olympics sleeping on

43
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 3: a cardboard bed. It just doesn't seem right.

44
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 1: We're really nervous at the moment because you've got a

45
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 1: twenty first birthday coming up, and we're really nervous about

46
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: your coach Dean Boxel on the dance floor because he

47
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: could he could actually rip the DJ apart. It will

48
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: will the box be there? Will he be on the

49
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: dance floor at your twenty first?

50
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 4: I mean, who knows. I actually haven't planned like a

51
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 4: super huge twenty first. I had a massive eighteenth and

52
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 4: still recovery.

53
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I am your dad, your mom and dad

54
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: said that you were actually making a few phone calls

55
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: during the Olympics about your twenty first, trying to organize

56
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: a couple of things.

57
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 4: Is that. Yeah, I'm just doing like a family lunch,

58
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 4: And I kept saying the mo I'm like, make she

59
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 4: actually book She was in control of this and she

60
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 4: was so busy up there partying, like I was making

61
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 4: sure that she could actually book it.

62
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 3: How good is that? But you know, you've got your

63
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 3: own performance set. Your coach Dean, I mean, did he

64
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: plan to make love to a fence or was that

65
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 3: something that he hadn't gone through the.

66
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: Routine of well, you know, I mean I expected a

67
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 2: huge reaction from him, but I did say to him

68
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: after I watched.

69
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 4: That, and what honestly goes through your mind, like what

70
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 4: makes you run run to the what makes you do that?

71
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 4: I think the call that Thorpe he made was the best,

72
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 4: he said.

73
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: I don't know how that sense was about that.

74
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: You know, this is the thing though with swimming. I

75
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: didn't know this, But you can't really have too much

76
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: time off, can you, because you've got to keep So

77
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: what is it now, like, what would be time off

78
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: for you? Because I saw Kyle Charmer say the other

79
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: day that they've got they've got events at the end

80
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: of the year over in Europe or something like that.

81
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: Are you serious? Give him a break?

82
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 4: So the longest I've had off in my entire swimming

83
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 4: career out of the water is two weeks, and even

84
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 4: in Covid, I like got a backyard pool and was

85
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 4: only out of the water for two weeks. But I

86
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 4: think this one I definitely need a big break. So yeah,

87
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 4: I mean I haven't sorted everything out yet, but you know,

88
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 4: Dean said to me, I only come back to training at.

89
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: The pool when you feel like good.

90
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 4: So if that means I need two months out of

91
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 4: the water, then I'll need two months out of the water.

92
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 4: But I definitely need time to let this one sink

93
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 4: in and then get ready for the next one, because

94
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 4: once you go back, I mean, Olympic is only in

95
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 4: three years, so you're not going to get another huge

96
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 4: break again, so you need to make the most of

97
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 4: this time.

98
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 3: I love the quote too, which came from Dean, but

99
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 3: I heard it a couple of times in the Olympics

100
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 3: that pressure is a privilege.

101
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

102
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 3: I thought that was amazing because if you're feeling it

103
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 3: in that moment, you're in a great spot.

104
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 4: Yeap, hunder recent And I like it. I like the pressure.

105
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 4: I think I use it for my races, So yeah,

106
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 4: it's good.

107
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: Dragon. That's it for Katie Leadecki. Did you talk to her?

108
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: Will she be back for Paris?

109
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 4: Oh? Yeah, surely back and the whole week. And it's not.

110
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 2: This massive rivalry there.

111
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 4: We get along really well. I mean when we're racing.

112
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 4: Obviously we're tough competitors, but he's a great person and

113
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 4: I'm a huge champion and a one hundredercent should be back,

114
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 4: so it'll be more definitely more battle for you guys

115
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:16,799
Speaker 4: to watch.

116
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: Hey, what's quarantine Like?

117
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 4: Are you a lauder?

118
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: Because up there, I think up in Darwin you're allowed

119
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,799
Speaker 1: to walk around, you're lead outside and mingle with people,

120
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: aren't you.

121
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 2: Well that's what we thought.

122
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 4: We thought the reason why we were coming here was

123
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 4: to be able to be like a bit more free. Yes,

124
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 4: yesterday it was yet being asked in the bus, he goes,

125
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 4: so what's the schedule, Like, what time are we going

126
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 4: to be able to go out and walk?

127
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 2: And I said, oh, you can't.

128
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: Well you can't take.

129
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 3: The compound though, can you. You've got like a pool

130
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 3: and everything in the compound.

131
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 2: No, we can't. We can't leave our balcony. One of

132
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: the boys measured it yesterday. It's like three and a

133
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: half meters wide. And so this morning some of the

134
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 2: physios have been walking back and forth trying to get

135
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 2: their laps up on their three meter deck. Yeah, and

136
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 2: the room is pretty small, but I think we probably

137
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 2: expected to be able to go out and walk around

138
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:12,279
