It started to chip only a 13 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 2: week after he wanted. It's already losing the bronze color. 14 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,919 Speaker 2: Former canoeist and Olympian ian Ferguson is with us. 15 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 3: Hey, Ian, hi here, the how are you? 16 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 2: I'm well, thank you? That's not on, is it. If 17 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 2: you go and win yourself a bronze, it should stay 18 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 2: in good nick for years now. 19 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 3: I just heard about this. Mine's forty years old. My ones, 20 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 3: and they're all just exactly the same as the day 21 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 3: they're made, but you know they they're made differently. They've 22 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 3: solid silver gold plated with a decent coating of gold 23 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 3: on them. Yeah, so that's yeah, it's terrible and it was. 24 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 3: I was looking at them thinking that they look fantastic 25 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 3: with a bit of the Eiffel Tower on there, but 26 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 3: now in stunning to wonder where they get that bit 27 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,839 Speaker 3: of metal off the Eiffel Tower that they didn't undo 28 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 3: the bolts at the bottom, did they tower? 29 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 2: Do you reckon? We exported some of the Northland boys 30 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 2: to help them out with the medals. Yeah, I mean, 31 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 2: you know what is possible as well as he did 32 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 2: say that he wore it over the weekend and his 33 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 2: mates wore it over the weekend, and young people nowadays 34 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 2: can party quite hard. A they might have partied the 35 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 2: bronze off. 36 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah they possibly did. Don't know what alcohol 37 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 3: they're spilling all over it. 38 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 2: Even just out of the whole judging by what's going 39 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 2: on with the hockey team. Hey, I have a question 40 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 2: for you. Do you think that the K four boys 41 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 2: have redeemed themselves and proved that, in fact the C 42 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 2: two stunt was worth it? 43 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 3: Yeah? I do actually because it wasn't the stunt, it 44 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 3: was it was know what you know? To us, it 45 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 3: seemed like at and it was very, very embarrassing. But 46 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 3: they they obviously knew they had a you know, they 47 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 3: they were a good team, which they showed, finally showed 48 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 3: in the end, but they wanted to get there, and yeah, 49 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 3: it's it was the wrong way to do it. I 50 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 3: got it, mate, But now that it's done, I think 51 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 3: we just forget it and go right. We've got a 52 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 3: good team coming on because they're all young, and yeah, 53 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 3: they've got to put up with that embarrassing race they 54 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 3: had to do and let them go and go on 55 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 3: from there. We you know, it's a matter of getting 56 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 3: getting them interested in the Olympics and getting that drive 57 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 3: from them. And yeah, I think this has taught them 58 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 3: a lesson and they'll they'll come out stronger for it. 59 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, totally, and I totally agree with you. Thank you 60 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 2: so much, mate, Enjoy your weekend. That's Ian Ferguson, former 61 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:56,239 Speaker 2: canoeist and olympian.
