She We're all very anxious at the start because 15 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 3: it was raining, as as you probably know, and we 16 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 3: know how slip the herds, especially in these time trial bikes, 17 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 3: and we always had this fear before Grace races that 18 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 3: she's going to fall and injure herself because she's done 19 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 3: it to pretty severe injuries in the past. Yeah, you 20 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 3: rove your shoulders, broken ribs, punctured loans, and you know, 21 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 3: we knew how important this was for her and really 22 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 3: you know, as for her career, and you know what 23 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 3: an amazing thing it would be is to get a 24 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 3: gold and all what pressure was on us. 25 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:20,559 Speaker 2: So let's say let's not discount first gold first gold. 26 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 3: I take first gold. 27 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 2: Absolutely, Hey, mate, you talk about the injury she sustained 28 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 2: over the years. These athletes go through so much just 29 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 2: to actually compete and get this moment. You would have 30 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 2: seen firsthand how much sacrifice she's made over the years. 31 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 2: Just give us a small insight into how how much 32 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 2: she wanted it. 33 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 3: Way back then, she was so inspired by Suzia O'Neil 34 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 3: and and Kathy Friedman, and she said, maybe I could 35 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 3: do that. So she was a runner back then and 36 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 3: she got to a national level. But in the end 37 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 3: she realized that she just wasn't the body shape for 38 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 3: little distins running and so you know, she was quite 39 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 3: down about that. But she got them riding, you know, 40 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 3: the age of twenty three, which is really late at 41 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 3: the sport.
