1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: For some of the Olympics. After the event, they're asking

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: what is next to Dame Lisa Carrington as one of

3
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: those people. She may go again, of course she may not.

4
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: Nine medals across four games, eight of them gold. Meantime,

5
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: turns out she's an author a children's book aimed at

6
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: four to nine year olds. It's called Lisa Carrington Chases

7
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: a Champion. Lisa Carrington's with us morning, Yeah.

8
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 2: Good morning. It's lovely to be.

9
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: Here now, Elise Andrews, who we had in the program

10
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. So these are these eclectic questions.

11
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: I ask people like you, what's your observation, giving your

12
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: experience at the elite end of sport that most sports

13
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: people are elegant, eloquent and together as human beings. What

14
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: is it about sport that makes you that way?

15
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 2: I wouldn't not everyone's like that, right, I thank you?

16
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 3: No, I think I guess as a sports person, and

17
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 3: particularly maybe in New Zealander, if you're working on yourself

18
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 3: as a human, your performance is also unlocked in that way.

19
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

20
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: And the value then of programs, so rowing, paddling, cycling, sailing,

21
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: equestrian at Olympic level has been very good. What weight

22
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: do you place on the value of programs to propel

23
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: athletes forward?

24
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 3: For I guess in my experience it's the people and

25
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 3: the I guess, the desire to push boundaries, to grow,

26
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 3: to learn, to figure out how just to get better.

27
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 3: So for us program is really it is important. But

28
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 3: also my coach, my teammates, that's a huge importance.

29
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: What's the role in your life of the coach.

30
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 3: He, I guess Gordy, he writes the program, he plans

31
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 3: our campaign. It's huge, and he's a mentor as well,

32
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 3: so he has a huge influence on my performance.

33
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: Has he? I mean, obviously you grow closer over time.

34
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: But is it one of those things if you're the

35
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: right personality, you can be coached by anybody or is

36
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: it a very individual thing?

37
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think if you're a learner, if you've got

38
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 3: to be coachable, so absolutely you can be coached by anyone.

39
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 3: And I think you've got to really understand what you

40
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 3: need and how people can help you, and that people

41
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 3: aren't there to serve you. That you've got to figure out,

42
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 3: you know, what you can probably do for them. And

43
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 3: I guess have an aligned vision of where you want

44
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 3: to go.

45
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: When you get to what you've achieved, what's still coachable?

46
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: That's I guess that is the challenge is to make

47
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 3: sure that I still don't believe I know everything, so

48
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 3: I still have to get better and technically physically, So.

49
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 1: It's see, I find that hard to believe. Is that

50
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: just one of those things you say to yourself just

51
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: because what you really want to say is there is

52
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: no one better than me. And that's not an arrogant

53
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: thing to say, It's just a statement of truth.

54
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

55
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 3: But I guess there's like, what is the what is

56
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 3: the measure of best? Or you'll be like, it's only

57
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 3: your best.

58
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: Right gold?

59
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.

60
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 3: Like I guess you are competing against we are competing

61
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 3: against people, but what is is it a world record?

62
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 2: Is it your best?

63
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 3: So I think you have to look beyond the finish

64
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 3: line or a gold medal and go. Actually, I want

65
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: to be I want to be able to do this

66
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 3: and every time you achieve those little things winning a

67
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 3: gold medal. If I thought that winning a gold medal

68
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 3: was my best, I would have stopped in London. I

69
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 3: would have stopped after Rio. I would have stopped after

70
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 3: so like You've got to figure out, like what is

71
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 3: more and as I think, you know, there's I think

72
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 3: you can just completely learn and grow as a person.

73
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: It's got to be more than Do you think you're

74
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: still doing that?

75
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 2: Yeah?

76
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 3: I think I've learned so much in the last year.

77
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 3: Every year, Like I guess you kind of. There's one

78
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 3: of our coaches said, if you're not embarrassed by the

79
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 3: person you were, you're not growing.

80
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: So like it, I think you.

81
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 3: I think it's like if I look through every medal,

82
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 3: every moment, it's not always about the medals, you know

83
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 3: that they're just they just signify that moment. Yeah, but

84
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 3: you know, man, I just it's got to be more

85
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 3: than crossing the finish line first.

86
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: It has to be I just can't work out what

87
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: that is though. See that's that's the that's the fascinating thing.

88
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: You must be going through that right now, then, mustn't you.

89
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: Yeah?

90
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I think also finishing having done the sport for

91
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 3: this long, It's taken me this long to really perform

92
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 3: and that week of Paris and have like one hundred

93
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 3: joy and satisfaction and racing and I think a lot

94
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 3: of the time I've raced in the past, and it's

95
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 3: been out of just needing to win just because that's

96
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 3: the expectation on me. But for Paris, I managed it

97
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 3: to a place where I was like, you know what,

98
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 3: I'm just going to do my best. I love my teammates. Yeah, yeah,

99
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 3: we have given our heart and soul into this.

100
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: So but that's because I'll tell you what that is.

101
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: What that is is you've got nothing left to.

102
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 2: Prove, or you just don't have to prove anything.

103
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Yeah, no one doubts who you

104
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: are and what you're about, so therefore you can truly

105
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: enjoy it and be yourself and express yourself in your

106
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: case with the paddle.

107
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:17,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.

108
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 3: And I think you can probably find that at any stage,

109
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 3: whether you are going.

110
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 2: To come last or come first. But that is probably

111
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: the hardest thing to do, is do you.

112
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: Want to leave? And I don't want to ask you

113
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: tricky questions that you'll squirm over, but do you just

114
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 1: just big picture stuff? Do you want to leave? Have

115
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: you even thought about it? Do you want to leave

116
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: at the top or it doesn't bother you?

117
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's I think you would. I don't know. I think.

118
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 3: In sport, right now being in the position I am,

119
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 3: you know, being the fastest I've ever been, strongest, whatever,

120
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,799
Speaker 3: it is hard to think, oh maybe I'll stop now.

121
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 2: Because well what else is there? So I don't know.

122
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 3: Maybe I think to be honest, it has to be

123
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 3: a different thing. So every Olympacts is different. And if

124
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 3: I go to that next stage of life for whatever,

125
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 3: it's almost like you have to. It has to be

126
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 3: about something else. So the challenge has to be different.

127
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 3: And so maybe the challenge is so big the next

128
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 3: one that I can't be the best?

129
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: All right? Would you still go to the Olympics? Do

130
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: you think knowing you're not the best?

131
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's I think that's this is where this.

132
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: Is where we're at. And do you take advice on that?

133
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: Are you one of those people who thinks that stuff

134
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:32,239
Speaker 1: for yourself?

135
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 2: No, I definitely take advice.

136
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 3: I really have a you know, there's a handful of

137
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 3: people that I've had in my life for a good

138
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 3: fifteen years that have helped me get to this point.

139
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think you just you have to rely.

140
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 3: I think it actually just comes back to who you are,

141
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 3: what you want, and am I on a path.

142
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 2: That I enjoy?

143
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: Good on you? And obviously part of that is the

144
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: business of getting up. I assume it's early and paddling

145
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: for long hours and doing what you do, which is

146
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: the other part I admire so much about you. You

147
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: seem to be above all elite athletes who are all

148
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: dedicated to what they do that next level up, which

149
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: is the you know what you need to do to

150
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: get to be the best. And there's something in that,

151
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: isn't there? Yeah?

152
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and it's I mean it's I guess we you know,

153
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 3: it's compounding interest. So years and years of being at

154
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 3: a high level, you keep adding experience training to the

155
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 3: bank and it just compounds over time.

156
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 2: So yeah, I.

157
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 3: Guess I have a fair bit of ip that I

158
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 3: would just continue to love to share as well.

159
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: Where does age fit in and the physical constraints of age.

160
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 3: I think there's a conception that sport is short, especially

161
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 3: for females, So I am not sure. I think we're

162
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 3: exploring new areas.

163
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 2: I don't know.

164
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 3: There's not too many New Zealand Olympic athletes that are

165
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 3: over thirty five.

166
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: How old are you?

167
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: Thirty five? Okay, yeah, I feel younger than that.

168
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,239
Speaker 1: You'll you'll be thirty nine, Yeah, yeah, the next one.

169
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: And so is there a group of people out there

170
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: that can guide you in that sense that thirty nine

171
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: is not a thing or absolutely?

172
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 2: I think we just you know, like there's no limit.

173
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: I think what will that be made up of? Will

174
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: that be made how much of it will be made

175
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: up of diet, training, psychology, experience and all those other

176
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: bits and pieces versus just the natural Your body does

177
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: what your body does and there's nothing you can do

178
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: about that.

179
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess that's what we're learning. Like as athletes,

180
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 3: we are a constant experiment. So data has been gathered

181
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 3: all the time, you know, our sleep data, our training data,

182
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 3: heart rate, et cetera. So I guess what we're learning

183
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 3: is although there's improvements, that does that improvement stop happening?

184
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: And what does that due to?

185
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: Is it?

186
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 2: Yeah? Physiology? Is it? Mentality? Diet?

187
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 3: But yeah, there's definitely a play of I'm sure there's

188
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 3: a point where your body can't do more, but your

189
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 3: mind might be.

190
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: Able to do. You enjoy being disciplined, because here's the

191
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: other thing I think about a lot, and that is

192
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: the discipline. It's great when you're doing it, but when

193
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: you do it all the time, you think, Gee, wouldn't

194
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: it be great just to blob out for a while

195
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: and just let myself go a bit, And you see

196
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: it a lot of nex athletes who clearly have and

197
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: I've never quite got me. But I wonder if are

198
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: you disciplined naturally so that no matter we you end

199
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: up in life, you will be a disciplined person.

200
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe there's a bit of fear there. If I'm

201
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 3: not disciplined, things won't go well. So I think there's

202
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 3: probably a natural worry that I need to stay disciplined.

203
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 2: But I think you just learn. It's gradual, right. I've

204
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 2: figured out for.

205
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 3: Me an equation where I can be disciplined, but it

206
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 3: just becomes kind of daily, So it's not huge, like

207
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 3: you know, you've got to stick to this routine and

208
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 3: got to eat all this food. It's actually small things

209
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 3: that I've developed that make it easier to turn up fantastic.

210
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: So, which brings you to As to the children's book,

211
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: this as an exercise is about what.

212
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 3: So it's really about the journey of my eight year

213
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 3: old Lisa having a goal and the journey of achieving it,

214
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 3: and that comes with little challenges and ways to kind

215
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 3: of come back to it.

216
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: Do you send a message in the book that all

217
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: things are possible? Because one of it because I'm being

218
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 1: older than you and I'm an old dinosaur and all

219
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: that crap. The way that kids have dealt with these

220
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: days are perhaps not the way that you were dealt

221
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: with as a child, and certainly I wasn't. And that

222
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 1: is that there's a little bit too much leeway about

223
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: turning up and not you know, when it doesn't really

224
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 1: matter all that much and stuff like that. Do you

225
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 1: send a message that turning up counts sometimes?

226
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 3: Yeah? Absolutely, that is one of the messages in the book.

227
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 3: Young Lisa has a friend and she's so she asked

228
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 3: her for advice, and she said, it's just about showing up.

229
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 3: And so, you know, it's about turning up. It talks

230
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 3: about turning up. It's about your parents being that person

231
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 3: that listens to you. There's so many little messages in

232
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 3: there from you know, about a little bit about discipline

233
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 3: or having a plan, but also that you know there

234
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 3: are challenges and you have to keep turning up.

235
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: Isn't that one of the great stories of the Olympic Games,

236
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: And we saw it recently in Paris is everyone had

237
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: a mom or a dad or an uncle or an auntie,

238
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: and they were all there. It was like, there it is,

239
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: this is the moment, and we've all worked towards this

240
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: and it's the greatest thing in the world, doesn't it. Yeah.

241
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 3: I think it's really special to be able to share

242
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 3: that with the people at home, you know, that have

243
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 3: come there to what you perform, and particularly like it

244
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 3: went so well for us at the games and so

245
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 3: for you know, across the board, and so I think

246
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 3: you know your parents they give so much.

247
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: Don't they? All everyone does? So this takes you where.

248
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: This is the first of eighteen books.

249
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hope to do a couple more children's books.

250
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 3: So at the end there it kind of shares it

251
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 3: is another journey, so it keeps you on the edgy.

252
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: Well, she can have journeys and adventures till forever, can't She.

253
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: Always too many lessons to learn and relearn?

254
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 3: Right?

255
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: Good on you, well, thank you for bringing these glorious

256
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: things in. Do you wake them by the way in

257
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 1: terms of importance or moments learnings?

258
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 3: And you know, I guess it's like every one of

259
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 3: those medals, I am kind of am a different person,

260
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 3: more experienced or whatever. So I think, yeah, they they're

261
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 3: all pretty, they're all pretty special, but I mean Paris,

262
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 3: the recent ones were amazing.

263
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised. Listen, go well, we'll put the video

264
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: up so everyone can see the medals in a moment
