1 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: The Winter Games also continues in the sports world. Our 2 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 1: guru is Christopher Reeve from the New Zealand Herald. 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 2: Hello, good morning, how are you. 4 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:11,880 Speaker 1: You're good? So I was hoping to wake up this 5 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 1: morning to news that Zoey Sadowski Senate had earned our 6 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: third middle of the Games, but her slopestyle final has 7 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: been postponed, ironically due to too much snow. 8 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny, they say, Yeah, you go to the 9 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 2: Winter Games that starts snowing and you can't compete in 10 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 2: your final, which is a real shame. They had a 11 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 2: little bit of a downpour of snow in the morning 12 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 2: over in Italy and they just didn't have enough time 13 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 2: to be the course ready to how much let their athletes 14 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 2: compete as safely and as well as you know, they 15 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 2: would hope to be postponed. And it'll be how sort 16 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 2: of eleven thirty, well, I think officially eleven twenty to 17 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 2: be specific tonight, and that'll be sort of before the 18 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 2: men's final, so they're really just cramming them in together. 19 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 2: So we've got Zoe in that one and Dane Menzies 20 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,639 Speaker 2: in the mentoon which is two thirty. 21 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 1: Yeah. 22 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, and then this morning we've got Luca Harrington up, 23 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 2: so that's still happening. Yeah, so that one's been postponed 24 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 2: by about fifteen minutes. Was scheduled to start at seven thirty, 25 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 2: but looks like it'll be close to the seven forty 26 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 2: five now. But yeah, for the time being, it looks 27 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 2: like that one's going ahead. 28 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: He's already in possession of a bronze medal. This is 29 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: the freestyle ski big ear, So what's this and what 30 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: sort of chance is d reckon? 31 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, so this one is the one where they basically 32 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 2: go down, go down one ramp, do just send it 33 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 2: to a huge shrick and yeah, get their scores based 34 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 2: on two of the three jumps will get scored. He's 35 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 2: a solid chance. He meddled in this event at the 36 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 2: X Games not too long ago. Yeah, I do think 37 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 2: slopestyle was his forte. But he's definitely a medal chance 38 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 2: this morning. So if you can tune. 39 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: In, do they ski with the poles or do they 40 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: leave those behind? 41 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 2: They's ski with poles. 42 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, it's just a bit to sort of navigate 43 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: when you're in the air. Then you better watch the 44 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: eyes and then what do we day twelve of these 45 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: games there's still five to play. We've got a few 46 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: more key weis to come. 47 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, So we've got the free skiers and the half 48 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 2: pipe still haven't had a chance to compete yet, so 49 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 2: we've got quite a few in that. We've got Mesha 50 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 2: Thomas and the women, and then we've got so four 51 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 2: or five in the men's Finn marble Eves, I've talked 52 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 2: about him before. He's world champion in that discipline. For 53 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 2: the men's side of things, certainly a medal chance there. 54 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 2: And we've got guys like Luke Harold and Ben Harrington 55 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 2: as well who who could certainly shake things up. So 56 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: there sort of later in the week. I think the 57 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 2: final for that is on the day morning, Yeah, Saturday 58 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 2: morning for the men's final, Friday morning for the women's qualifications. 59 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: For them, feel it's like high school exams, you know, 60 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: when they put these events so late in the schedule. 61 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: You know all your mates are done, they're up living 62 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: their best life. You still have to stay disciplined till 63 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: the very end. 64 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, it a bit, isn't it. Yeah, really listens to 65 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 2: the very last minute. 66 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: Do the athletes get to Just a quick final question 67 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: for you, Chris Reeve do athletes get to stay in 68 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: the Olympic village once they're done and dust it. 69 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 2: That's probably a question to put to the athletes. My 70 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 2: own understanding is that you kind of arrive a little 71 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 2: bit before your event, but you're not there for the 72 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 2: entire time. 73 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: Or once you're done, you're done. 74 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 2: Once you're done, you can you can probably leave if 75 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 2: you want to 76 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: So those who are still there have their pick of room, 77 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: in which case good luck.
