1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: The the gold medal is celebrating so nineteen twelve it

2
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: was in the end. The gold medal is our back

3
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 1: to back Olympic Gold's perfect send off for a couple

4
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: of the greats, of course Bush and Woodman Wickliffe. He

5
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: is on her way to retirement along with Tyler King.

6
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: Tyler King is well us morning, didn't Mike?

7
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 2: How's it going?

8
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: Very well? Is the medal still around your neck?

9
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 2: The middle storem Ick, The juicy and the shorts and.

10
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 1: The socks are still onto fantastic. What's the medal look like? Oh?

11
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 2: It is beautiful. It's kind of like it's got the

12
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 2: Goddess mikey on it, gold plates it and then you

13
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 2: turn it around and it's got a piece of the

14
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 2: Eiffel Tower.

15
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: That's brilliant, isn't it. Hey? I watched the start of

16
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: the game and you looked so dominant. I thought this

17
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: is going to be a thrashing, and then they came

18
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: back at you. How did it feel for you?

19
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: It? We don't help ourselves. I was giving the yellow

20
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: so it's always a hard when you're up against quality sides.

21
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 2: But we're practicing training going down to Slix and we

22
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 2: held them out long enough just for their money to

23
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: secure one try and then we're back to our full compliment.

24
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: And then we knew it was only our mistakes that

25
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 2: were keeping them in that game. So if we tied

26
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 2: it up our own eras and really destruct hard on attack,

27
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 2: made sure we stayed in our threes, and then on defenses,

28
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 2: keep coming forward and keep applying pressure, we knew will

29
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 2: get the job done. And that's what we did.

30
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: Were you pleased it was Canada not Australia or it

31
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: didn't matter.

32
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 2: It didn't matter who we were going to face. We

33
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: knew that we were going to give it everything that

34
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 2: we had, and it ended up being Canada. They played amazing.

35
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 2: They had an incredible quarter final I think it was

36
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: against France, being in a home team on home soil,

37
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: and then they went in did the job against when

38
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: it counted against Australia. So all the teams in the

39
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: circuit are amazing, and you know, you just got to

40
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: show up when it counts, and we were able to

41
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: do that.

42
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: How was the pressure leading and given the expectation you

43
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: were supposed to win a medal if not gold, Yeah, there's.

44
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: Always gonna be pressure, and we knew that was there,

45
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: and we addressed it so early on and then at

46
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: the end of the day we just said, we just

47
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 2: need to focus on ourselves and that's what we did.

48
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 2: And I think I'm just so proud of the performances

49
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,399
Speaker 2: that we put in as a team from day one

50
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 2: all the way through to the final, because if I

51
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 2: look back to Tokyo, that gold medal moment was incredible,

52
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 2: but we never hit our full potential. Some of those

53
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: games were absolutely scrappy. You know, we had the whole

54
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: entire country on the edge of the seat when we

55
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: played the semi final against Fiji in overtime. But this tournament,

56
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: this Olympics, everything came together. We found our flow and

57
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: we just went out there and played the brand of

58
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: footy that I know I knew we were keepable of.

59
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: Full of fantastic. Do you want to reconsider retiring.

60
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 2: Nope, I am good. I've had my time in this

61
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 2: black jersey, and you know, I've grown up in this

62
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: in this team, in this environment, and I've been here

63
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: since I was seventeen. For the last thirteen years, this

64
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: has been in a big and huge part of my life.

65
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: It's going to be definitely weird leaving it behind. But

66
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 2: I know, I know it's fine physically. I probably could,

67
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 2: you know, play on for another couple of years, but

68
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 2: there's just this feeling you get in it's my time

69
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: to you know, pass this Judy on the number seven,

70
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 2: which I've been inswered by debut back and twenty twelve.

71
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 2: It's time to pass it on to someone else. Although

72
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 2: I do trick with some of the girls that now

73
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: now you can't e sorry they're retiring.

74
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: It warmers. Congratulations, go well, lovely to talk to you.

75
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: Appreciate it very much.

Speaker 2: Thank you so much. Thank you for your supporting all
