1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: Fits in with that.

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 2: Twenty years to the day Sydney Olympics. What a time

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 2: to be alive. And these men took home so many

4
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 2: golds for Australia and they join us again today.

5
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: It's the magnificent Ian Thorp and Mike thanks having us

6
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 1: what I love.

7
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 2: That team was such an amazing team leading into the

8
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 2: two thousand Olympics. Obviously there was a lot of pressure

9
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 2: on you there the American team, Gary Hall Junior was

10
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 2: getting stuck into you. How did the guitar sort of?

11
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 2: How did that comment come about? And because there was

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 2: a real rivalry between Australia and America, and did that

13
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 2: fire you boys up even more? There's a lot of

14
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 2: chats going on and tactics going into the race.

15
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 3: Look to be honest, that comment probably wasn't the instigating

16
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 3: factor for our victory. I think obviously the opportunity to

17
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 3: race in front of a home crowd and Sydney a

18
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 3: home Olympics, and that whole build up. It was such

19
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 3: a great, great games. But we had it a responsibility

20
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 3: as the first relay off the rank, so we knew

21
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 3: that we had our challenge set against us. The Americans

22
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,559
Speaker 3: have never been beaten and all them. Sports Illustrated interview said,

23
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 3: you know, I think the Aussies are the best team

24
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 3: out there besides the Americans, but I'm still going to

25
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 3: smash them. Like guitars. The rest is really history. So

26
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 3: oh Man and true Izzy Style were kind of you know,

27
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 3: we spound all our best splits and the rest is history.

28
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 4: It's just and it's a great moment to you know,

29
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 4: the chance that we're reflecting on twenty years of Sydney

30
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 4: and the Olympics, just to remember all those moments, like

31
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 4: I've been showing my kids now, I showed them the

32
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 4: Kathy Freeman run, I've shown them You'll swim and all

33
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 4: the highlights from amazing because there's a whole generation now

34
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 4: that you want to educate on these great moments of

35
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 4: what we've done, and that's something you hold on to.

36
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: Philip, Can I tell you the highlight for me? The

37
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 2: two thousand Games? Now, I unfortunately couldn't get a ticket

38
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: to go and see you swim. That was too hard

39
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: to get. But thought, do you remember Home Nightclub, last time,

40
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 2: last lap where all the Olympic athletes this was after

41
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 2: four years of training, Your chance to let your hair

42
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 2: down Thorpy, did you.

43
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: Still sneak in and a beer at some state? I

44
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: was there, Michael went there a lot more than what

45
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: I did.

46
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,119
Speaker 3: I got the gold medal for the for the flat

47
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 3: for sure.

48
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 4: Thorping, And I asked to Susi Oneil, who works for

49
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 4: Nova and Breakfast in Brizzy. She was talking about how

50
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 4: she got the silver medal in what was the event

51
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 4: in her pet event?

52
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 2: And yes she went back and watched it for the

53
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: she never seen it before.

54
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: Cried her eyes out.

55
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 2: She said it was really traumatic, She's never watched it before.

56
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: Do you have races like that as well? Thorpy?

57
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 3: You nelat mate.

58
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: Another bit of metal with a covered Thorby never lost again?

59
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 3: Fun, I lost the two hundred at the Sydney Olympics.

60
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: Was it just an off race? Was it an off

61
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: swim for you? Or what happened?

62
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 3: I think I was exhausted from the like, but no,

63
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 3: it was just an off race and I was up.

64
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: Against one of the you know, the best swimmers at wels.

65
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 3: But I can remember Susie also saying, and it was

66
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 3: ten years at you know, the ten year anniversary of

67
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 3: Sydney Olympics.

68
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: When she was asked about winning the two hundred.

69
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 3: Free style and she she started crying and she said,

70
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 3: I've always thought I've lost.

71
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: I lost the two hundred flyer.

72
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 3: I never thought I won the two hundred fears and.

73
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: It was she was expected to win, you know, the fly.

74
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 4: But that pressure, you know when you are a hot

75
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 4: favorite too, like.

76
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 2: It would be Man And I mean, Michael, you won

77
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: a lot of gold medals as well. But then to

78
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 2: back it up, is it worse coming off a gold

79
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: medal winning swim and knowing that you are the favorite

80
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: and you have to take out the next one or

81
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: like you just said, yeah, it.

82
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 3: Was very much in the same boats as Susie. You know,

83
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 3: I was ranked number one in the world on a

84
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 3: butterfly in Sydney and and obviously got silver in that

85
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 3: event by zero point one of a second. So but

86
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 3: similar to Ian, you know, the relay events were in

87
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 3: the front of the program for us, and they do

88
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 3: take a lot of emotional and nervous energy. So you know,

89
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 3: we've celebrated a lot by the time we got to

90
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 3: individual events, so I think we might have spent all

91
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 3: our Biggie.

92
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 4: But did you did it take your while to watch

93
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 4: it back lumpy or have a look at it.

94
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 3: I haven't watched it yet to be watched it, and.

95
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: We've got to go through it. Yeah, you've got to

96
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: come into the studio.

97
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 3: Let's I'm going to therapy for it as we speak.

98
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: So I'll tell you what. We are very excited about this.

99
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 2: There's a brand new video game coming out, marvels Avengers.

100
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,559
Speaker 2: It's for the PlayStation for Xbox One, PC and start.

101
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: Yet. You know what, if we're.

102
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 2: Talking Marvel and superheroes, this could be your kryptonite.

103
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: Is watching this? This is the thing, This could be man. Yeah,

104
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: that's true. It's confusing, isn't it.

105
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 3: If he had it, man, so nothing can touch me.

106
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 2: We need to ask you boys then if you if

107
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: you're part of the marvels Avengers, now I mean what

108
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 2: I what are your superpowers? Thought?

109
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: My suggestion for you if you're still.

110
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 2: Size fourteen feet, I don't think they're getting any smaller.

111
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: You would have to be some kind of fly kicking,

112
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,119
Speaker 2: roundhouse superhero, wouldn't you.

113
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: They're fifteen.

114
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 3: You know what they say? Oh yeah, I've always felt

115
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 3: that they based of me.

116
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: Yes, right, oh yeah, I think that's what it is.

117
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: I get it and ivastated cle me. Are there any

118
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: board superheroes there is now? Mate that there is now?

119
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 3: They always kind of like these sort of head shields,

120
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 3: So I reckon Ironman and Captain America have, you know,

121
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 3: have those sort of things on. But I've got more

122
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 3: metal in my body to equal those two, So I reckon.

123
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 3: I was quite happy with the with the role that

124
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 3: I was playing with Iman boys.

125
