1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Eighteen past four on Newstalks Ye'd Be Sports talk host

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Darcy Waldegrave is here with details on what sounds like

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: an ambitious bid. But my goodness, it would be amazing

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: if it was pulled off. The World Indoor Athletics Championships

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: to New Zealand.

6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty eight. The only issue there is what else

7
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 2: is happening in twenty twenty eight Olympic Games LA. Now

8
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 2: I'm not quite sure. I haven't done my research, and

9
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: this is news zooey just come out. As far as

10
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: how many athletes actually attend, I.

11
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: Think the five hundred, But how many who are going

12
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: to the Olympics in that same cycle?

13
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 2: Do they keep their powder dry during the World Indoor

14
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 2: Athletics Championships that they come to stretch themselves out before

15
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: they go to LA? So there is an asterisk around this. Yeah,

16
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: but I think for an event, and New Zealanders love

17
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: sporting events, I think a lot of KIWI is now

18
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 2: a little tired of They don't follow whole programs unless

19
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 2: they're at Mad Cricket Van Mad Rugby tad. They want

20
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: a one off of v They want to go to

21
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 2: something it feels special, like the fine of the women's

22
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: Rugby All Cup and so on and so forth, So

23
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: something like this, Who wouldn't go? I think it's over

24
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 2: three two, three days of competition the last few we're

25
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: gonna have a three days of competition. You've got twenty

26
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 2: six different events, thirteen male, thirteen female, best in the world.

27
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 2: And it doesn't have to be indoors. Apparently they can

28
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 2: still run this outdoors if required, so Eden Park might

29
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 2: have a shot. But but where would this suit? Where

30
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 2: would this be beautiful? Do you think, Jack? Where do

31
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 2: you think?

32
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, tokaha, tokah. Yeah, that would be amazing.

33
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's got a roof, so it's under the roof. Yep,

34
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: there's massive amounts of accommodation and or to christ Church,

35
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 2: it'd be brand spanking.

36
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: New film made. You will be right behind the second.

37
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: Everything you want. The coverage will be exceptional. It's an

38
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: easy place to get too, straight into christ Church on

39
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: the plane unless there's fog. That happens in Auckland. So

40
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: it's got a lot to it. I think, Look, I

41
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: don't know how far it goes, but apparently government are

42
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: behind it. Chris Bishop is behind it, which is a positive.

43
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: So what happens now, I don't know.

44
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: So okay, so I've just looked at the dates for

45
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: the LA Olympics there in July. This would be held

46
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: in the third week of March, so pretty relatively comfortable

47
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: climate like, not totally comparable to LA But if those

48
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: athletes are starting to get in that kind of you know,

49
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: similar temperage zone, you've got what three months in between,

50
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: so there's there's.

51
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 2: A how much they want to fly back and forth

52
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 2: from a lot of their power bases in America or

53
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: in Europe.

54
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, especially well actually because a lot of them

55
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: are based on especially those high profile American athletes, they're

56
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: all based on the West Coast these days. They you know,

57
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: they're all based around Oregon or maybe Texas.

58
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 2: There and they will come.

59
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm into it. I think it'd be amazing. But

60
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: who knew that the indoor Champs didn't have to be indoors.

61
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: I didn't either. I was going, hold on, we've got

62
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 2: a big enough indoor stadia, basti kaha gets built.

63
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: Now. Look, I'm real I'm putting you on the spot here,

64
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: but I think the indoor Champs don't they have some

65
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: events that differ to the Outdoor Champs, right, so you

66
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: have like sixty meters sprint stuff like that.

67
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: They had the two hundred meters but it was so

68
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: tight that they bang into the wall. Wow, they just

69
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: couldn't do it. So they can that. So there's only

70
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: a handful of events. But I think as far as

71
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: an experience and you sit down for a couple of

72
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: days and watch all these world class athletes go it

73
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: at hammer and tongs, even I believe Jack, if the

74
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 2: best in the world aren't there, people would go because,

75
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: as I said at the start, it's an event, and

76
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 2: you saidland just love being at an event. I think

77
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 2: it's got a lot about it. It's a lot more

78
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 2: feasible than the Commonwealth Games and whatever shape or form

79
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 2: they may take.

80
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: Now the Tallbacks have a new coach.

81
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's a wonderful part of a long lasting legacy.

82
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 2: Two thousand and two the World Champs. When he's finished

83
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: fourth pair of Cameron got on the top team. Incredible stuff.

84
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 2: He's a Hall of Famer. So from Ninad Vucinich was

85
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: an assistant coach. There after Tad Baldwin stopped and then

86
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: from Vusinich it went to Henardi and then from Hanadi

87
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 2: it goes to Pero Cameron, and then from Pero Cameron

88
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: it goes to Judd Flabble. They were all there, yeah,

89
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: in two thousand and two thread the whole weak. And

90
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: he's of course, he's won a couple of recent championships

91
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 2: for Canterbury, the Canterbury Rams first time at thirty years

92
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 2: they've picked them up. He's won two more at that

93
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 2: level and he worked with the Breakers for many, many

94
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 2: many years as their assistant coach. I think he was

95
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 2: their assistant coach right the way through their heyday when

96
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 2: they were winning titles left, right and center. So it

97
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 2: makes huge sense to get somebody like that, and he

98
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 2: understands the energy and the pride behind the Fern and

99
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 2: the Tall Blacks. Although some may question did they go

100
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 2: far away enough? Would we get an internationals? Basketball is

101
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: such an international game.

102
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: Give us thirty seconds on Nelson, A sopha solomonor he

103
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: hasn't overturned his band, so he's going to miss the

104
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: Grand Final.

105
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 2: I've got a wee lesson for everybody out there. Don't

106
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: smash people in the head with your shoulder. It's called

107
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 2: control the narrative. I keep telling my daughter about if

108
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: you don't do this, this won't.

109
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: Occur in control the controllables.

110
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 2: Don't start a fight with somebody, they won't fight back. Yeah,

111
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: just don't do it.

112
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: It's a shame though, it's a real shame his.

113
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 2: Epic to watch, absolute monster of a human being. But

114
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 2: so be it.

115
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,680
