So Marty Toomey is 11 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,879 Speaker 1: the New Zealand Chift of Mission and Team Services Director 12 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 1: for the Winter Olympic Games, and he's joining me now 13 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: Adam Milan, good morning to you, Marty. Good morning so 14 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: bonjo no from Milan. Now. The first question is for 15 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: those people who don't know what does a Chef de 16 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: mission do. 17 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 2: Well, it's like the leader of the team so effectively, 18 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 2: you know, we have those group of people who are 19 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 2: employed by the New Zealand Olympic Committee, the staff, the 20 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 2: team services crew, and then the Chef de Mission is 21 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 2: an independent role that works with them to do all 22 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 2: of the planning and preparation, and then to set the 23 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 2: team up, you know, have the environment that's going to 24 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 2: allow them to shine. 25 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: To set it up, and then once they're there, to 26 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: make sure everything goes sweet. I know you've just been 27 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: trying to find a missing bag, because that's the sort 28 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: of thing that chef de missions do. But the question 29 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: is how long have you been working on the project 30 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: to get a base and a team to Milan Cortena. 31 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 2: Well, we have it's pretty much at the end of Beijing. 32 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 2: We debrief that and so you've got four years for 33 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 2: the next Olympic and we start probably three years out 34 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 2: when it's really the first site visits. Come and have 35 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 2: a lot, look at all of the venue news, look 36 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 2: at where the accommodation is potentially going to be, and 37 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 2: then you work out from there how you list logistics, 38 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 2: how you're going to move around, how many people you're 39 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 2: going to need on the ground to provide the support 40 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 2: that you need for the Athleics. 41 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: One of the first jobs, of course, is to find 42 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: accommodation for the team. And the difference between the Summer 43 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: Olympics and the Winter Olympics is that the Winter Olympics. 44 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 1: The events are in ski resort towns and there isn't 45 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: always a wealth of accommodation facilities available. So how easy 46 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: or hard was it to find the bases in the mountains. 47 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 2: Well, we're lucky in that the athletes and the coaches 48 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 2: are looked after, so there is actually an Olympic village 49 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 2: in the mountains and that's provided by the organizing committee. 50 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 2: The real challenges for friends and family or anyone that's 51 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 2: coming in that's not part of that core group, and 52 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 2: that was part of the reason for coming across three 53 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 2: years ago was to look for a base where we 54 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 2: could have anyone that couldn't be in the village. And 55 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 2: that's what we've set up Levignot, which is yeah, we've 56 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 2: ended up with an absolutely superb place very close to 57 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 2: the venue. 58 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: So we did well, you did well. Was it wildly expensive? 59 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: And I say this because I've got friends in the 60 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: media who are covering the Winter Olympics and they got 61 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: off to a late start and they started finding places 62 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: that were going at like fifteen thousand euro at night. 63 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 2: We were lucky we got in early. Yes, it was expensive, 64 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,959 Speaker 2: but I mean we got in early enough to actually 65 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 2: negotiate a good long deal. But yes, you set up before. 66 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 2: We're in ski towns that are already very busy, and 67 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 2: then you add the Olympics on top of it and 68 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 2: the demand, and I think certainly prices of peaked. 69 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: Now events of course stretch over hundreds of kilometers because 70 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: of this location, from Milan all the way across to 71 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: the Vino which is north of Venice, over hundreds of kilometers. 72 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: Alice Robinson is living miles apart from the rest of 73 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: the team. So how hard is it to get a 74 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: team living like a team when you spread over such 75 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: a distance. 76 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 2: It's a challenge, but it's a challenge we plan for. 77 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 2: So Alice is really she has her own support team 78 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 2: around her and they travel regularly around the world for 79 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 2: World Cups, and so we try and provide that Olympic 80 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 2: you know, overlay to make sure that they do feel 81 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 2: part of it. And I've just spent the last two 82 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 2: days up with Alice and Courtina. So it's great for 83 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 2: the athletes they get to live where they're competing. It's 84 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 2: harder for those that are supporting the team because they've 85 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 2: got to drive six hours each way to go and 86 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 2: catch up with them. But it's well worth doing. The 87 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 2: athletes have to feel good. 88 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: It is what it is. And the other big thing, 89 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: of course is the facilities. Now we've already seen on 90 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: the telly the snowpark built in the Vino. They look 91 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: particularly impressive, particularly the big air jump, which is a 92 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: man made thing made out of scaffolding. That's incredible. How 93 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 1: impressed are you with the facilities for this Winter Olympics. 94 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 2: The facilities have actually come out really well. You know, 95 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 2: we've been on the ground for just over a week 96 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 2: and they looked like they needed a bit of work 97 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 2: down on them when we arrived. But if you look 98 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 2: at them today, they look sensational and they've been finished late, 99 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 2: but they've finished. 100 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, with a degree of corruption as well, because 101 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: you are in Italy and the mafia does like to 102 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: get their fingers into the pie. But the big question 103 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: is how good is the snow Because it was a 104 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: late season, the snow took a while to arrive. 105 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, but we've had even since we've been here, there's 106 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 2: probably been half a meter of snow, so there's plenty 107 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 2: of snow around there. It looks like a winter wonderland. 108 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 2: It's spectacular, beautiful, resort town, both Lavigno and Cortina, and 109 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,239 Speaker 2: they really look they look great. 110 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 1: Cavinan fabulus, fabulous. All right. The big thing is the 111 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 1: athletes and what we can win. We'll talk about this 112 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: in a few moments time. My very special guests on 113 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: the White Tongue Day Breakfast is chieft a mission of 114 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: the New Zealand Team. Marty to me back with Marty 115 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: right after the break. This is news Talk to b 116 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: This is the White Tongue break I'm Andrew Dickens. We're 117 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 1: in Milan right now with the New Zealand chif of 118 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: Mission for the Olympics side for the Winter Olympics. Marty 119 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 1: to me, all right, Marty, We've got some great athletes 120 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,799 Speaker 1: this year. People are saying this could be the best 121 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: Olympics we've ever had. 122 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think from a New Zealand team perspective, there's 123 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 2: no doubt that this team is made up of athletes 124 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 2: that are stronger across the board than we have been previously. 125 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 2: They have just recently the park and pipe athletes have 126 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 2: come off the X Games and a number of worldcaps 127 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 2: where they've been quite a few podiums and Alice Robinson's 128 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 2: head podiums in both Giants slalom and Super g over 129 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 2: this season, so you know they're coming and good all. 130 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: Right, so Alice is a good chance. But still it's 131 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: the guys who throw themselves into the air that really 132 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: are our biggest thing. Why are we so strong in 133 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: this event? 134 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 2: I think we've got world class facilities in New Zealand, 135 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 2: and I think the other thing, when you look at 136 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 2: the park and pipe disciplines, they're still quite young, you know, 137 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 2: compared to cross country skiing or alpine skiing that have 138 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 2: been around for hundreds of years. The new discipline, so 139 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 2: no nation had an advantage over us when they started, 140 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 2: so we started on an even playing field and I 141 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 2: think that's something that we've picked up and run with. 142 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 2: And then having world class facilities, our athletes can train 143 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 2: just as easily as anyone else can. 144 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: So of course the big thing. Because Luca Harrington's a 145 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: hot choice, there's another fella, Ives Melvil. I don't know 146 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: what what's with all these double barreled names, With all 147 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: your ethleices, it gets quite difficult. 148 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 2: The other one it's just for fun, feury rep your 149 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 2: tongue around. 150 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: And the other one, of course is Zoey Sedowski Sinnt 151 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: who had a very disruptive year leading up to this 152 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: event with a very major injury. How she tracking, She's 153 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: stretting really well. 154 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 2: And I think one of the things you've got to 155 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 2: remember with these athletes is that you know, class is permanent. 156 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 2: You know, form might come and go, but the class 157 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 2: is there. We know if like Zoey athletes like Alice 158 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 2: for example, if they have one bed race or something 159 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 2: like that, and it means nothing for what will happen 160 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 2: at the next one. So they've come into this games 161 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 2: in really good shape. They're strong mentally and physically, so yeah, 162 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,239 Speaker 2: I think they'll be very very strong competed. 163 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: And once the vibe you get from other teams, do 164 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: you get that here comes the kiwis and they're looking 165 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: hot sort of thing that you know, there's a sort 166 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: of a there's a feeling that the gang is here 167 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: and you're impressive. Are you getting that sort of respect 168 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: from the other competitors? 169 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we do now.
