Doing a little multitask. 6 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, who's surrounded you at the moment? Who's beside you? 7 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 2: How we got we got David Liddy, We've got a 8 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 2: couple of couple of pole volters. Yeah, we've got a 9 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 2: few supports stars, mostly athletics team and yeah, obviously finn 10 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 2: and a couple of sailors as well at the top. 11 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: So so, has everyone been near the whole time or 12 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: people have come and gone or. 13 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 2: I think they're kind of coming gone, Like obviously Team 14 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,959 Speaker 2: Sports have kind of left now, I think, and then 15 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 2: we actually came in quite late, just as athletics is 16 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,919 Speaker 2: in the second week. But yeah, I think I think 17 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 2: the swimmers have kind of stayed on. Looks like they've 18 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 2: been having a good time. But yeah, I think I 19 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 2: think for the most part everyone sort of stayed. 20 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: Around classic swimmers, swimmers always wanting a good time. 21 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 2: Comment has it so good? 22 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 3: I mean, a gold medal on the world's biggest stage 23 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 3: at the Olympics in the high jump. Has it sunk 24 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 3: in for you? 25 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: Oh? 26 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 2: No, no, it hasn't. I mean, look, I mean I'm 27 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 2: obviously amazingly stoked with how I did, and I'm over 28 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 2: the moon with my result last night. But I think 29 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 2: it's going to take a few few weeks to process 30 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 2: what actually truly happened. But yeah, all I know is 31 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 2: that I was just so stoked to be there and 32 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 2: it was just so much fun being out there in 33 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 2: the moment, it was it. 34 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 3: But and you know, you guys, you could have you 35 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 3: could have shared gold. You're in the USA competed it, 36 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 3: but you guys decided to go for a jump off 37 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,759 Speaker 3: that seemed like a bit of a risk at the time. 38 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 3: It's still I guess you're back in it now. 39 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, definitely paid off, I think, know, to 40 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 2: be fair, like, obviously the boys shared the golden Tokyo, uh, 41 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 2: and that was something that was so amazing, and you know, 42 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 2: it was such an amazing part of Olympic hisstory. But 43 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 2: I think at the same time, you know, as as 44 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 2: we're competitors and as we all want to win, I 45 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 2: think that you know, all the all the athletes decided 46 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 2: that it would be cool if we did get the 47 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 2: opportunity to to actually see what would happen and play 48 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,559 Speaker 2: out the jump off. So yeah, I had no doubt 49 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 2: in my mind when when I knew that was going 50 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 2: to happen, that we both agree to it and get 51 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 2: on with it. 52 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: When when you have the conversation, you're like, is it 53 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: a jump off? He's like, you had to jump off 54 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: to jump off, it's agreed to jump off. 55 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 3: That sounds pretty cool. That's better. 56 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 2: Definitely, we definitely could have drawn out the suspense a 57 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 2: wee bit more. It was pretty much more like me 58 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 2: just looking at him, going let's jump. 59 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: That's that's Litz jump. 60 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 3: It's a good There was one there was one moment 61 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 3: and you kind of went viral. But there was there 62 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 3: was one moment that you sort of came up and 63 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 3: you sort of you sort of jumped straight onto the 64 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 3: mat under the bar, and you kind of went viral 65 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 3: as well. People were saying online it was like you 66 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 3: were playing like PlayStation and the controller died or something 67 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 3: like that. What actually happened there was it just you 68 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 3: just didn't feel it and then you decided to bow out. 69 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, look, I think I was just pushing a 70 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 2: little bit hard. In the first couple of steps of 71 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 2: my run ups, so you usually can kind of tell 72 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 2: mid curve whether you're in a good position or not, 73 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 2: and very so often those kinds of jumps come out. 74 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 2: But yeah, it is quite funny to see the memes 75 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 2: going around with the old the old failed jump. I'm 76 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 2: not sure a lot of the people commenting on them 77 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 2: as well realize that I actually got the one. It 78 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 2: would be nice if we could try and sort of 79 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 2: that as well. 80 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: You want us to sway the comments section, do you? 81 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 2: But not only did his controller die, but it actually 82 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 2: turned it back on, and yeah. 83 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 1: Exactly, we all at least you're not a breakdancer for Australia. 84 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: I mean, like Hamish cool with us this morning? What 85 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: is it like? I mean, you have been training probably 86 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: longer than four years for this, but let's just take 87 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: this four year period leading into the Olympics and then 88 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: you finally stand on that podium the national anthems playing, 89 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: talk us through that moment. 90 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, you know, it's just it's just confirmation 91 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 2: that all the secrifice and hard work starting pay off. 92 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 2: I think that that's what's what's so cool is you 93 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 2: know I've worked so hard for this, I've you know, 94 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 2: I've I've put some some pretty hard conversations with some 95 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 2: some you know, loved ones. You know, I've had to 96 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 2: do that. I've had to change around my coaching team. 97 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 2: I've had to you know, change some technical stuff and 98 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 2: really look at myself and be honest with with what 99 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 2: my what I am capable of doing. And so I 100 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 2: think that you know, to know that I've done all 101 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 2: that hard stuff and then you know, get such an 102 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 2: amazing result from it, it's just it's just dream come true. 103 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: Well, because you're my wife went to a breakfast that 104 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: you spoke at and and you did say that you 105 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: had to change the team around you, like your your 106 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: dietitian and your coach. 107 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 3: You even setting up formal meetings. I think, you know, see, 108 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 3: everyone was held accountable. It was like take to someone's 109 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 3: saying in the minutes and things like that. 110 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, look, I mean I think that's just you know, 111 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 2: it's just increased professionalism. And I think that's the thing 112 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 2: is I love the sport and I definitely see it 113 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 2: as something that I love and have a lot of 114 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 2: fun doing, but it's also it's also a job, and 115 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 2: it's also something that I want to make sure I'm 116 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 2: doing the best at so I think that in the 117 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 2: last couple of years, I've really had to look at 118 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 2: myself and and how I've sort of worked and probably 119 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 2: been a little bit casual at times. And so it 120 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 2: was just around about just being really really conscious on 121 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 2: being as professional as possible and getting the right result 122 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 2: from that. 123 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: Is anyone going to lose their job now you've got 124 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: the gold? Oh, Dietes should mate, you've been dragging the chain? 125 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 1: Anyone like that. 126 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, we haven't had that conversation yet. That's more of 127 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: a post thing. But now don't tell anyone. I think 128 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 2: they're probably pretty safe. They want to do it again, 129 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 2: It's probably more up to the end, to be honest. 130 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: Loop us in on the minutes and it was incredible. 131 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, so many great moments, but I managed a big 132 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 3: part of the Olympics have been incredible. I mean there 133 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 3: was that moment where the freach pole Volda has sort 134 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 3: of bits and pieces hit the pole and knocked it off. 135 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 3: Were ever worried about that could be an option for you? 136 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 3: And the high jump that your your you're junk could 137 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 3: actually knock off the bar. 138 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, we go over backwards, So not really an interis 139 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 2: for me unless unless I've got it. You know, I'm 140 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 2: doing really really well for myself. 141 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: We ever tail or something in the closing ceremony, which 142 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: you're just walking into. Now, what are we looking forward to? 143 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: We had that that unusual gentleman painted like an Avatar 144 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: character with as goolies on the opening ceremony. What can 145 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: we expect? 146 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean hopefully not too much more religious slander, 147 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 2: but we will see. I think, yeah, I think, I 148 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 2: think the big rumor around us as who's going to 149 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 2: be performing. It seems like it's potentially Snoop Dogg he 150 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 2: is in town. But but yeah, also maybe Taylor Swift. 151 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 2: There's there's just so many people saying so many different things. 152 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 2: So wow, go out there and actually see who's out there. 153 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 2: But yeah, we'll see. 154 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: So it's a genuine surprise. No one knows. 155 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
