1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: Sorry, sorry to cut you off, guys. Stuber Steve, Welcome

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: to the shark here you're going. Ah, congratulations, buddy.

3
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 2: Oh look, thank you very much. Indeed, I'm just sitting

4
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 2: by the pool at the resort in LUSA. I goes,

5
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 2: that's an opportunity to get to do when you know

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: an Olympic gold medalist, and it's all pretty surreal really

7
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 2: and just sort of soaking up what's been written in

8
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: the papers and what's being said on keelly and radios.

9
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 2: It's all very humbling to think that the nations has

10
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 2: come together what has been an enormously difficult password.

11
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,279
Speaker 1: Steve, it was just it was phenomenal and there were

12
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: so many tears from so many Elsies watching on at

13
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: home to see that moment. I think everyone will remember

14
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: where they were when when she came home for that fifty.

15
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: Tell me how it was as a dad watching her

16
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: make that final turn.

17
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: Look, it was enormously nerve wracking. I knew going into

18
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 2: a race. We knew that if Arnie was within one

19
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: and a half body length of Le Decki when they

20
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 2: turned with fifty to go, that she would mow her down.

21
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: Great back in when she was level with her and

22
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: they turned and Arnie I think was one hundreds of

23
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: a second ahead of her at the last turn. We

24
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: knew she'd just take off, yes, and that she did,

25
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: and you know, the lungs are burning and the heart's

26
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 2: going that you know, she's a gutsy girl. She knows

27
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: how to race, and she's focused and with and I

28
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: think it was reality with about fifteen minutes ago that

29
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: we knew she got the gold and that it becomes

30
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: so emotional because of the enormous choices, the great choices

31
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 2: that she's made in life enable her to get to

32
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: the limp of James.

33
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 3: Can we talk about the coach, Jeanie Boxhall, because you

34
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 3: know what I need to like everyone. I love Dean

35
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 3: and I love seeing the emotion that Arianne had for Dean.

36
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 3: And obviously he's given up a majority of his life

37
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 3: as well to train your daughter. And we're talking about

38
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 3: this before, Steve. This is not an overnight thing. You

39
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 3: guys have been planning to beat Katie Ladecki at this

40
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 3: Olympics for years. This has been a huge project. Can

41
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 3: I throw this out there? Did he get over passionate

42
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 3: because to the left of him, I reckon there was

43
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 3: the American coach there as well, and there has to

44
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 3: be a bit of a rivalry between those two coaches. Steve.

45
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, Look, I don't know. As twenty years as a journalist,

46
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 2: I've never known anyone who is more passionate than Dean Boxing. Yes,

47
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 2: and over the past few years, every single two or

48
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: three hour swimming session of the morning and then the recovery,

49
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: the gym work, the diet, back to the pool another

50
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: three hours late in the afternoon. Every single session in

51
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 2: the past few years has been mapped out by Gena

52
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: and Arnie. That's where they got to yesterday and that's

53
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: why it is so emotional when mapped it all out,

54
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 2: how were they going to be Katie Ladecki? And then

55
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 2: Arnie produced the absolutely perfect rate and swam into exactly

56
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 2: how she wanted to swim it. And that's why it's

57
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 2: extraordinarily emotional to go through that. And look, Leno, he

58
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: has made incredible He's also.

59
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: Made love to offend. Is that a big day, Steve?

60
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 3: As you say, grueling routine leading up to what's Arnie

61
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:26,399
Speaker 3: do now?

62
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 2: Though?

63
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 3: After the games?

64
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: Has she sort of laid out how she wants to

65
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: relax and unwined and just celebrate.

66
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 2: Oh Howard, springs of the first stop the quarantine. She's

67
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: got her twenty first birthday coming up. I'm ahead un

68
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: of September, and I'll let you in on a secrete.

69
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: It's only a couple of days ago she was we're

70
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: doing some FaceTime and FaceTime with her, and she was

71
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: concerned about the bookings for the twenty first birthday weren't

72
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 2: exactly in place, and she was stressing a bit about

73
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: that rather than worrying about a gold medal. Be an

74
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: issue now, gon't be an issue now. So look, she'll

75
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 2: come out of quarantine and then she'll head him towards

76
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 2: what will be her twenty first birthday.

77
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 3: Let's let's not focus on your door to those, Steve,

78
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: because I heard that sport runs through the veins of

79
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 3: the family. Is it true, Stevie? Titmas that you may

80
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 3: have opened the batting with Lonceston Cricket Club with a

81
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 3: man by the name of David Boone who was very

82
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 3: good in the pool with some tins in his hand.

83
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 2: Is it I did? Many years ago? I was a

84
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 2: I was a cricketer in Tasmania and had the great

85
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 2: honor to play with Bernie and my biggest memory was

86
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 2: one day he knocked up one hundred and in that

87
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 2: time I knocked up seventeen. And he was such a

88
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 2: such a hog of the strike hit the ball at

89
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 2: one stage and I said, no, bluggy, you who stayed

90
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 2: down that? And I'm going to stay here And it

91
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 2: was quite a laughter around. And also and then Robin

92
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 2: Arnie's mum. She was she was a sprint champion from

93
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: Tasmania and ended up with ham sprint bottlems would stop

94
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 2: her from going to the Colm Games. Right.

95
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: You know what's interesting too with the fact that there

96
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: was one phone call that I'm sure Robin would have

97
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: loved to have taken yesterday, and that was from the

98
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: gold medal winning daughter. But Robin didn't have her phone

99
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: on her.

100
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 2: He didn't have a phone on her at five o'clock

101
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 2: until later on. And look, quite often because of the

102
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 2: work that she does is it's not possible to answer

103
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: the phone, so she doesn't answer my calls very often.

104
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 2: So I was quite tough win gold medaliste one of

105
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: the great races of all time rings and Robin didn't

106
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 2: answer the phone.

107
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 3: Mum, you're in big trouble, hey, hey, just before you go.

108
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 3: So you're just talking about preparation in the four hundred.

109
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 3: So do things change because DECKI went out really hard

110
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: in the four hundred, and try to put Ariane off.

111
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 3: What happens in the two hundred? Does she go hard

112
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 3: or does she come home is four hundred? Is she

113
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 3: bitter at the four hundred or is she just as

114
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 3: good in the two hundred?

115
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 2: Stevie, Oh, I hope he's just as good in the

116
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 2: two hundred. Should have a race fan work out what's

117
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 2: incredible about these Olympic Games? And it's across all of

118
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 2: the races so.

119
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 3: Fast, yes, so fast.

120
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: Fast, and so the two hundred literally now a sprint

121
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: no longer used to be it. Start out the first

122
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: hundred slow and gradually increase the speak these days the

123
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 2: two hundred just flat out to train for that. So

124
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 2: literally it will be at the end of the day

125
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 2: it's going to be. The two hundred will be an

126
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 2: extraordinary race and without a doubt, very very close.

127
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: Well, if she wins that, can you imagine the old

128
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: Dean box.

129
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 3: Again, He'll throw one of the volunteers down the seas. Look.

130
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 2: Great moments in the world when a child is given

131
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 2: is allowed to have an ice cream. I think, Steve, you.

132
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 3: Are absolutely You've got no chance of having a voice

133
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 3: this time tomorrow because yeah, she will go into the final,

134
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 3: the two hundred tomorrow, but she will.

135
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 2: Yeah. So I hope the Eveding goes to plan in

136
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: the in the semis this morning and then and then

137
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 2: the final. But I look at it's been an incredible

138
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 2: adventure and and this adventure continues for the rest of

139
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: this week. And don't forget, of course we've got young
