00:04:10,787 --> 00:04:13,987
Speaker 2: with Isaac McCarty to ask how it felt to be

73
00:04:14,187 --> 00:04:15,947
Speaker 2: an Olympic silver medalist.

74
00:04:16,867 --> 00:04:20,907
Speaker 4: Just as the unbelievable. We can't quite believe it yet.

75
00:04:20,907 --> 00:04:24,667
Speaker 4: It hasn't spunk in, you know. The The last race

76
00:04:24,867 --> 00:04:28,747
Speaker 4: was immense and we yeah, we're super super proud. Tell

77
00:04:28,787 --> 00:04:30,787
Speaker 4: us about at New Dalanders.

78
00:04:30,267 --> 00:04:33,307
Speaker 2: Tell us about the strategy actually before we talk about

79
00:04:33,347 --> 00:04:35,667
Speaker 2: the metal race, we had a couple of cracks at

80
00:04:35,667 --> 00:04:38,867
Speaker 2: it yesterday, didn't we and couldn't get it done. How

81
00:04:38,947 --> 00:04:42,027
Speaker 2: challenging was that as you waited for the opportunity to

82
00:04:42,067 --> 00:04:43,867
Speaker 2: actually race this medal race?

83
00:04:44,267 --> 00:04:46,627
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was. It was actually super challenging for us.

84
00:04:46,627 --> 00:04:49,227
Speaker 4: You know, it was a stressful position for us to

85
00:04:49,267 --> 00:04:54,667
Speaker 4: be in and have to sort of prime ourselves three times,

86
00:04:54,667 --> 00:04:56,427
Speaker 4: so that was quite stressful.

87
00:04:56,747 --> 00:04:58,307
Speaker 5: But we did a really good job of.

88
00:04:58,387 --> 00:05:02,747
Speaker 4: Resetting and working as a team, and yeah, we actually

89
00:05:02,787 --> 00:05:04,467
Speaker 4: put ourselves in grat positions in all of them. So

90
00:05:05,547 --> 00:05:07,787
Speaker 4: it was and it was super hot as well over here,

91
00:05:07,827 --> 00:05:09,787
Speaker 4: so we wouldn't think we'd be out on the water

92
00:05:09,827 --> 00:05:12,787
Speaker 4: for that long and we were getting low on ice

93
00:05:12,787 --> 00:05:15,187
Speaker 4: and water, so it was. It was a it was

94
00:05:15,187 --> 00:05:17,547
Speaker 4: a management management program.

95
00:05:17,187 --> 00:05:19,707
Speaker 2: For us well. So not only not much wind, but

96
00:05:19,787 --> 00:05:22,867
Speaker 2: pretty done hot as well. So the elements really through

97
00:05:22,987 --> 00:05:25,067
Speaker 2: everything at you did they in Marseille.

98
00:05:24,907 --> 00:05:25,307
Speaker 6: They did.

99
00:05:25,547 --> 00:05:28,467
Speaker 4: It was a crazy day, you know. We we were

100
00:05:28,507 --> 00:05:31,427
Speaker 4: so hot and we got what was it halfway through

101
00:05:31,467 --> 00:05:34,027
Speaker 4: two races and they just ended it at the end

102
00:05:34,027 --> 00:05:36,307
Speaker 4: of it. So by the bottom mark, I don't think

103
00:05:36,347 --> 00:05:39,107
Speaker 4: I've ever been that hot in my life. I was

104
00:05:39,147 --> 00:05:40,307
Speaker 4: sweat running down my head.

105
00:05:41,947 --> 00:05:45,067
Speaker 2: How do you reflect on the whole on the whole week,

106
00:05:45,187 --> 00:05:48,267
Speaker 2: the whole week of sailing. You know, as I say,

107
00:05:48,267 --> 00:05:51,347
Speaker 2: there's been there's been wind shifts, You've had to wait,

108
00:05:51,467 --> 00:05:53,187
Speaker 2: you've had to be patient. How do you reflect on

109
00:05:53,227 --> 00:05:54,707
Speaker 2: the whole Olympic regatta?

110
00:05:55,147 --> 00:05:58,307
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been a super tricky week. As I'm sure

111
00:05:58,667 --> 00:06:00,467
Speaker 4: a lot of you guys have seen. The results have

112
00:06:00,547 --> 00:06:03,347
Speaker 4: been all over the show. Nobody sort of ran away

113
00:06:03,347 --> 00:06:08,587
Speaker 4: with it which people normally do. Yes, super shifty, super light,

114
00:06:08,787 --> 00:06:14,347
Speaker 4: we had yees, some crazy days on the water. But

115
00:06:15,307 --> 00:06:18,587
Speaker 4: it's been surreal to just sit back and actually compete

116
00:06:18,587 --> 00:06:21,427
Speaker 4: in our first Olympic Games. And we've just been proud

117
00:06:21,947 --> 00:06:25,667
Speaker 4: New Zealanders soaking every minute of it up. You know,

118
00:06:25,707 --> 00:06:28,147
Speaker 4: we've had friends and family here. It's been super special.

119
00:06:28,947 --> 00:06:33,667
Speaker 2: As far as the metal itself is concerned, what were

120
00:06:33,707 --> 00:06:37,747
Speaker 2: your expectations or your ambitions coming in? I know every

121
00:06:38,307 --> 00:06:42,587
Speaker 2: elite sportsperson aims high. Was the podium something that you

122
00:06:42,707 --> 00:06:43,947
Speaker 2: realistically targeted?

123
00:06:44,587 --> 00:06:48,787
Speaker 4: Absolutely? We knew, yeah, the podium was our goal. There's

124
00:06:48,827 --> 00:06:52,267
Speaker 4: a lot of very experienced sailors in the forty nine

125
00:06:52,347 --> 00:06:54,507
Speaker 4: ers fleet, at the moment and some guys that have

126
00:06:54,587 --> 00:06:58,187
Speaker 4: been crushing it. So we were you know, we wanted

127
00:06:58,187 --> 00:07:02,347
Speaker 4: to be on the podium, but we were ready to

128
00:07:02,427 --> 00:07:05,787
Speaker 4: accept anything. And you know it can carry on the

129
00:07:05,867 --> 00:07:09,987
Speaker 4: legacy of what Peter and Blair have left is super

130
00:07:10,027 --> 00:07:10,987
Speaker 4: special for us as well.

131
00:07:11,107 --> 00:07:13,307
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've alluded nicely to my next question. You know,

132
00:07:13,387 --> 00:07:16,307
Speaker 2: the success of Peter Berling and Blair chuk and this

133
00:07:16,467 --> 00:07:19,387
Speaker 2: very class. I wonder whether that ever weighed heavy on

134
00:07:19,427 --> 00:07:20,267
Speaker 2: you did it.

135
00:07:20,787 --> 00:07:22,547
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was definitely in the back of our minds.

136
00:07:22,547 --> 00:07:25,307
Speaker 4: You know, we didn't want to fall short, especially these

137
00:07:25,347 --> 00:07:27,867
Speaker 4: last few days. It's where it's just been so close

138
00:07:28,987 --> 00:07:33,667
Speaker 4: to be able to finish it off. And ye continue

139
00:07:33,667 --> 00:07:36,267
Speaker 4: that legacy from New Zealander is very special.

140
00:07:36,507 --> 00:07:38,787
Speaker 2: Have you had much or any contact with Peter and

141
00:07:38,827 --> 00:07:40,467
Speaker 2: Blair in the lead up to the Olympics.

142
00:07:40,827 --> 00:07:44,027
Speaker 4: Yeah, both of the boys have flogged us messages and.

143
00:07:45,467 --> 00:07:46,227
Speaker 5: Wish us good luck.

144
00:07:46,267 --> 00:07:50,947
Speaker 4: Blair's been messaging me every day. Yes, so it's really

145
00:07:50,947 --> 00:07:52,707
Speaker 4: cool to have those boys behind us.

146
00:07:52,307 --> 00:07:56,067
Speaker 2: And yeah, tell us about how the week's been off

147
00:07:56,187 --> 00:07:58,907
Speaker 2: the water. You mentioned you've got some support crew there.

148
00:07:59,667 --> 00:08:01,907
Speaker 2: Has it felt a bit special though being part of

149
00:08:01,947 --> 00:08:06,027
Speaker 2: an Olympic regatta and how much opportunity have you had

150
00:08:06,067 --> 00:08:07,987
Speaker 2: to to spend time with people off the water.

151
00:08:08,467 --> 00:08:11,867
Speaker 4: It's been really cool. Our New Zealand team down here

152
00:08:11,867 --> 00:08:15,387
Speaker 4: in Marseille is it's not very big, is small. It's

153
00:08:15,427 --> 00:08:19,067
Speaker 4: a small team, but it's a special team. We're super strong.

154
00:08:20,147 --> 00:08:22,227
Speaker 4: So it's been it's been like home. We've been here

155
00:08:22,227 --> 00:08:25,387
Speaker 4: for a couple of months now, so we've been very

156
00:08:25,387 --> 00:08:28,427
Speaker 4: focused and that aspect, and we haven't actually had a

157
00:08:28,507 --> 00:08:31,107
Speaker 4: lot of time to see friends and family because we

158
00:08:31,187 --> 00:08:34,227
Speaker 4: have had our heads down just focusing on the regatta.

159
00:08:34,267 --> 00:08:35,227
Speaker 7: So hopefully tonight we.

160
00:08:35,267 --> 00:08:38,227
Speaker 4: Get the chance to catch up with a whole lot

161
00:08:38,227 --> 00:08:39,507
Speaker 4: of friends and family and celebrate.

162
00:08:39,867 --> 00:08:42,027
Speaker 2: Tell me a bit about Will McKenzie. What's he like?

163
00:08:42,627 --> 00:08:43,547
Speaker 6: Oh, he's a good roost.

164
00:08:44,187 --> 00:08:46,987
Speaker 4: He's a very smart man. He's a talent of yochtie

165
00:08:46,987 --> 00:08:49,027
Speaker 4: as well and a very good made of mind.

166
00:08:49,347 --> 00:08:52,427
Speaker 2: How does the relationship on the water work? Do you

167
00:08:52,467 --> 00:08:53,787
Speaker 2: Are you now at the point where you don't have

168
00:08:53,827 --> 00:08:55,667
Speaker 2: to talk a hek of a lot because you know

169
00:08:55,987 --> 00:08:58,347
Speaker 2: what each other is thinking? Or is there still quite

170
00:08:58,387 --> 00:08:59,747
Speaker 2: a bit of conversation out there?

171
00:09:00,027 --> 00:09:02,387
Speaker 4: Yeah, COM's is a huge part of sailing, so We'll

172
00:09:02,427 --> 00:09:06,867
Speaker 4: always try and keep the communication high. There's many parts

173
00:09:06,867 --> 00:09:08,587
Speaker 4: on the boat now that we don't have to talk about,

174
00:09:08,867 --> 00:09:13,587
Speaker 4: little things like staring and trimlate that and powering the

175
00:09:13,627 --> 00:09:16,507
Speaker 4: sales up and depowering the sails. But the communications a

176
00:09:16,547 --> 00:09:20,187
Speaker 4: lot more involved with tactics and where's the next wind shift,

177
00:09:20,307 --> 00:09:25,827
Speaker 4: where's the boats on the course, and yeah, preparing for races.

178
00:09:26,027 --> 00:09:29,867
Speaker 2: So communication is very high on board and we're chatting

179
00:09:29,947 --> 00:09:33,067
Speaker 2: not long after you know you've finished the race. You

180
00:09:33,147 --> 00:09:36,627
Speaker 2: haven't had the opportunity to receive your medal yet. Has

181
00:09:36,667 --> 00:09:39,347
Speaker 2: what you've achieved Sun can or do you think that'll

182
00:09:39,347 --> 00:09:41,627
Speaker 2: need to wait until you're on that podium with a

183
00:09:41,627 --> 00:09:43,227
Speaker 2: bit of precious metal around your neck.

184
00:09:43,547 --> 00:09:45,467
Speaker 4: I think it'll really settle in once you get on

185
00:09:45,507 --> 00:09:46,587
Speaker 4: that podium, Isaac.

186
00:09:46,707 --> 00:09:49,507
Speaker 2: Terrific stuff, mate. We enjoyed watching back here. It was,

187
00:09:49,707 --> 00:09:51,747
Speaker 2: as you say, we yet to be patient, having three

188
00:09:51,747 --> 00:09:53,947
Speaker 2: cracks at it, but to get across the line third

189
00:09:53,987 --> 00:09:56,027
Speaker 2: in the metal race and secure silver for yourself in

190
00:09:56,067 --> 00:09:59,107
Speaker 2: Will and for New Zealand. Terrific stuff. Thanks for taking

191
00:09:59,107 --> 00:10:00,787
Speaker 2: the time for a chat and joy the celebrations.

192
00:10:01,067 --> 00:10:03,147
Speaker 4: Thank you very much and cheers too every run back

193
00:10:03,147 --> 00:10:04,267
Speaker 4: home for you go support.

194
00:10:04,307 --> 00:10:05,707
Speaker 8: It's been unreal good man.

195
00:10:05,747 --> 00:10:09,747
Speaker 2: Thanks Isaac. Isaac McCarty there silver medallist with Will McKenzie

196
00:10:10,067 --> 00:10:11,867
Speaker 2: and the forty nine er. They call it the skiff,

197
00:10:12,987 --> 00:10:14,787
Speaker 2: that's the official name for it, but where I think, No,

198
00:10:14,867 --> 00:10:17,707
Speaker 2: it is the forty nine er, the boat that Peter

199
00:10:17,747 --> 00:10:20,947
Speaker 2: Berling and Blair Chok sailed with such distinction for so

200
00:10:21,067 --> 00:10:24,947
Speaker 2: many years. But for Isaac McCarty and Will McKenzie the

201
00:10:24,987 --> 00:10:27,027
Speaker 2: mac attack to come in, take it over and win

202
00:10:27,067 --> 00:10:29,907
Speaker 2: a silver medal the first time of asking, pretty damn

203
00:10:29,947 --> 00:10:31,987
Speaker 2: good ken for you to join the shaft you want

204
00:10:32,027 --> 00:10:34,107
Speaker 2: to As we're right in the middle of the Olympic Games,

205
00:10:34,147 --> 00:10:36,547
Speaker 2: We've had a week, We've got another week. Are you

206
00:10:36,587 --> 00:10:40,147
Speaker 2: on board with the Olympics? Are you? Are you deeply invested?

207
00:10:40,267 --> 00:10:43,147
Speaker 2: Are you are you taking a passing interest? Are you

208
00:10:43,467 --> 00:10:46,467
Speaker 2: watching sport that you would never normally watch? That tends

209
00:10:46,507 --> 00:10:48,507
Speaker 2: to be what happens at the Olympics, because when else

210
00:10:48,507 --> 00:10:53,827
Speaker 2: do we get to watch fencing or shooting, or three

211
00:10:53,907 --> 00:10:57,987
Speaker 2: on three basketball or any other number of sports that

212
00:10:58,027 --> 00:11:01,627
Speaker 2: simply don't enter our consciousness apart from an event like

213
00:11:01,667 --> 00:11:02,467
Speaker 2: the Olympic Games.

214
00:11:02,507 --> 00:11:03,387
Speaker 4: So what.

215
00:11:05,067 --> 00:11:07,827
Speaker 2: Are you looking? You know? Looking forward to seeing in

216
00:11:07,867 --> 00:11:11,707
Speaker 2: the week ahead. What have you enjoyed watching in the

217
00:11:11,747 --> 00:11:17,427
Speaker 2: week that we've had. How good was it seeing Zoey

218
00:11:17,427 --> 00:11:22,187
Speaker 2: Hobbs this morning, a key we sprinter at the Olympic Games.

219
00:11:22,187 --> 00:11:25,947
Speaker 2: Now this should have happened last time, shouldn't it. I'm

220
00:11:25,987 --> 00:11:28,827
Speaker 2: not sure if you remember, but Zoey Hobbs and Eddieosi

221
00:11:28,947 --> 00:11:32,947
Speaker 2: and Katya were both in the mix to go to Tokyo,

222
00:11:33,387 --> 00:11:40,067
Speaker 2: and we're both, for whatever reason, denied that opportunity. Look,

223
00:11:40,107 --> 00:11:43,787
Speaker 2: I understand that you can't send everybody. I absolutely totally

224
00:11:43,827 --> 00:11:46,827
Speaker 2: get that you can't just send anyone, but Zoe Hobbs

225
00:11:46,867 --> 00:11:52,187
Speaker 2: and Ediosi and Katya were you know, no mugs and

226
00:11:52,867 --> 00:11:56,787
Speaker 2: what not. Sending Eddie to the Olympics did was basically

227
00:11:56,827 --> 00:12:00,267
Speaker 2: lose him to the sport he's playing American football now.

228
00:12:00,987 --> 00:12:03,907
Speaker 2: But thankfully Zoey Hobbs took it as an opportunity to

229
00:12:04,107 --> 00:12:08,147
Speaker 2: motivate herself to get better, to get stronger, to get

230
00:12:08,227 --> 00:12:13,147
Speaker 2: faster in her case, and now she's running sub eleven

231
00:12:13,627 --> 00:12:16,907
Speaker 2: and without even doing that, actually has made it into

232
00:12:16,907 --> 00:12:20,867
Speaker 2: the semifinals. So she's got there, I think. And I'll

233
00:12:20,907 --> 00:12:23,347
Speaker 2: get this from Sarah Cally Ross when we talk to

234
00:12:23,387 --> 00:12:28,227
Speaker 2: her this hour. She's in one of three semifinals for

235
00:12:28,467 --> 00:12:34,187
Speaker 2: the for the women's one hundred meters. The first two

236
00:12:34,507 --> 00:12:38,947
Speaker 2: go through and then I think it's the next three

237
00:12:38,947 --> 00:12:42,427
Speaker 2: fastest because there's nine. Used to be eight, didn't there?

238
00:12:42,467 --> 00:12:44,547
Speaker 2: I think there's nine. Sarah'll be able to tell us this,

239
00:12:45,267 --> 00:12:49,267
Speaker 2: but it's going to be tough for Zoe from here.

240
00:12:49,787 --> 00:12:54,267
Speaker 2: But just the fact that that she is there, it's massive, right,

241
00:12:55,507 --> 00:12:58,867
Speaker 2: you know, I think we're used to seeing certain athletes

242
00:12:58,907 --> 00:13:01,187
Speaker 2: and certain events over and over, and even in the

243
00:13:01,227 --> 00:13:06,027
Speaker 2: track and field, you know, we've enjoyed immensely watching Valerie

244
00:13:06,067 --> 00:13:08,587
Speaker 2: Adam and Tom Walsh in the shot put, even our

245
00:13:08,627 --> 00:13:11,947
Speaker 2: fifteen hundred meters run, meter runners, our middle distance runners,

246
00:13:12,147 --> 00:13:15,427
Speaker 2: but sprinters. How often have we had the opportunity to

247
00:13:15,467 --> 00:13:20,387
Speaker 2: watch a sprinter in the black singler at an Olympic Games?

248
00:13:20,547 --> 00:13:25,787
Speaker 2: Not very often? You would have enjoyed that, Jase, oh.

249
00:13:25,747 --> 00:13:28,027
Speaker 9: Poney, Just that's the thing for me. The last few

250
00:13:28,027 --> 00:13:31,507
Speaker 9: Olympic Games, for me, the highlights been us popping up

251
00:13:31,667 --> 00:13:37,347
Speaker 9: in what a truly global sport, you know, the non

252
00:13:37,387 --> 00:13:40,547
Speaker 9: traditional where we get our medals from Like last time, well,

253
00:13:40,587 --> 00:13:42,947
Speaker 9: I can called trampolining a global sport. But you know

254
00:13:42,947 --> 00:13:45,947
Speaker 9: what I mean, something that something that isn't involving sitting

255
00:13:45,947 --> 00:13:49,507
Speaker 9: in a boat going backwards or on the back of

256
00:13:49,507 --> 00:13:53,587
Speaker 9: a horse or just yeah. I mean, you know Alista Mca,

257
00:13:54,387 --> 00:13:56,587
Speaker 9: you know the pole Vold at the time before getting

258
00:13:56,587 --> 00:14:01,707
Speaker 9: a medal. Hopefully Zoe hobbs medaling this time. I think

259
00:14:01,747 --> 00:14:03,707
Speaker 9: something special is going to happen from that athlete.

260
00:14:03,827 --> 00:14:07,867
Speaker 2: Finy, she is amazing. I think I was watching I

261
00:14:07,907 --> 00:14:11,227
Speaker 2: watched all of the heats this morning, actually Jace, including hers,

262
00:14:11,427 --> 00:14:14,747
Speaker 2: and there are some very very quick runners out there.

263
00:14:14,787 --> 00:14:17,627
Speaker 2: And you know, we know Zoe's fast, but her PB

264
00:14:17,867 --> 00:14:20,787
Speaker 2: is ten point ninety six. There are a lot of

265
00:14:20,867 --> 00:14:23,067
Speaker 2: runners in that field with a PB better than that.

266
00:14:23,227 --> 00:14:25,867
Speaker 2: But having said that, look, I think if she made

267
00:14:25,907 --> 00:14:28,667
Speaker 2: the final, that'd be a major box tick for her.

268
00:14:29,027 --> 00:14:31,467
Speaker 2: Getting into the semi finals was great, and she was

269
00:14:31,987 --> 00:14:34,787
Speaker 2: really comfortable that in that heat this morning. But to

270
00:14:34,787 --> 00:14:36,667
Speaker 2: make the final, to be among the top eight, I

271
00:14:36,707 --> 00:14:39,147
Speaker 2: think it is eight actually, the top eight fastest women

272
00:14:39,187 --> 00:14:41,427
Speaker 2: in the world in an Olympic cycle would be quite something.

273
00:14:42,187 --> 00:14:43,707
Speaker 9: Yeah, but just the way you had to look at it.

274
00:14:43,747 --> 00:14:48,027
Speaker 9: I was looking at her face and she was totally

275
00:14:48,067 --> 00:14:50,147
Speaker 9: just zoned and then the runners behind her in her

276
00:14:50,187 --> 00:14:53,307
Speaker 9: heat were flat tack and she she had some meters

277
00:14:53,347 --> 00:14:56,827
Speaker 9: on them. So I don't know. I just feel if

278
00:14:56,867 --> 00:14:59,267
Speaker 9: she can get us out into semi decent lane, you know,

279
00:14:59,627 --> 00:15:04,307
Speaker 9: qualify six forth, whatever, something amazing could happen from her.

280
00:15:04,907 --> 00:15:06,587
Speaker 9: But I think it was a blessing who not going

281
00:15:06,667 --> 00:15:09,667
Speaker 9: last time. It's just given that extra hunger and fuel

282
00:15:08,947 --> 00:15:13,227
Speaker 9: to really just prove a point and cheap boy by Joe, She's.

283
00:15:13,027 --> 00:15:15,867
Speaker 2: Doing that fine, absolutely, Jo good Man. Ye look forward

284
00:15:15,867 --> 00:15:19,187
Speaker 2: to seeing how Zoe goes in her semi final tomorrow morning.

285
00:15:19,387 --> 00:15:21,547
Speaker 2: Are Sam Tanner going to run the reper charge in

286
00:15:21,587 --> 00:15:24,347
Speaker 2: the fifteen hundred meters as well? He wasn't in the

287
00:15:24,387 --> 00:15:27,187
Speaker 2: top six in his heat. That's a tough race too,

288
00:15:27,227 --> 00:15:30,267
Speaker 2: the fifteen hundred meters in terms of the athletes who

289
00:15:30,267 --> 00:15:33,627
Speaker 2: are there, three heats of fifteen each, only the top

290
00:15:33,667 --> 00:15:36,507
Speaker 2: six go through the other nine from each of them

291
00:15:36,507 --> 00:15:39,107
Speaker 2: going to a repercharge. So you've got it and you've

292
00:15:39,067 --> 00:15:41,107
Speaker 2: got to finish in the top three in the reper charge.

293
00:15:41,107 --> 00:15:45,227
Speaker 2: It's a tough, tough, tough event. The fifteen hundred meters

294
00:15:45,587 --> 00:15:48,027
Speaker 2: twelve twenty two. I eight one hundred and eighty ten

295
00:15:48,067 --> 00:15:50,587
Speaker 2: eighty nine two nine two if you prefer to correspond

296

Speaker 2: by text. Talking a bit of Olympics, We're going to

297
00:15:52,707 --> 00:15:55,587
Speaker 2: get the lowdown some analysis on track and field shortly

298
00:15:55,627 --> 00:15:57,867
Speaker 2: with Sarah cally Ross, but want to chat to you

Speaker 2: Is twelve twenty five. Yes are confirming in the one

306
00:16:15,507 --> 00:16:19,187
Speaker 2: hundred meters semi finals. There are three semifinals with nine

307
00:16:19,627 --> 00:16:24,307
Speaker 2: in each, and only the top two go through to

308
00:16:24,347 --> 00:16:28,707
Speaker 2: the final and then the next two fastest advance, so

309
00:16:28,907 --> 00:16:32,347
Speaker 2: only eight in the final even though there are nine

310
00:16:32,467 --> 00:16:35,627

00:16:35,627 --> 00:16:39,427
Speaker 2: in the third of the semis and has said before

312
00:16:39,467 --> 00:16:43,187
Speaker 2: there are some very very quick runners. Looking at her

313
00:16:43,787 --> 00:16:47,627
Speaker 2: semi for example her PB ten nine to six, there

314
00:16:47,667 --> 00:16:52,947
Speaker 2: are one, two, three, four five. There are five others

315
00:16:52,507 --> 00:16:56,107
Speaker 2: in her semi with a better PB than that, But

316
00:16:57,147 --> 00:16:59,667
Speaker 2: you're going to run a new PB runner that the

317
00:16:59,707 --> 00:17:04,667
Speaker 2: Olympic Games. The semis are at ten to six tomorrow morning.

318
00:17:05,107 --> 00:17:07,307
Speaker 2: Do not miss the opportunity to watch Zoe Hobbs in

319
00:17:07,347 --> 00:17:08,107
Speaker 2: the semi finals.

320
00:17:08,307 --> 00:17:10,947
Speaker 10: Hello, Neil, hi Jason.

321
00:17:11,707 --> 00:17:16,067
Speaker 11: I just hey, I'm hoping I held that Zoe Hobbs

322
00:17:16,107 --> 00:17:21,907
Speaker 11: does a Marcel Jacobs from Tokyo who won the golden

323
00:17:22,027 --> 00:17:27,467
Speaker 11: personal best and was not fancied. I just one thing's

324
00:17:27,507 --> 00:17:31,467
Speaker 11: possibly in the recent conversations about our sprinters, there doesn't

325
00:17:31,467 --> 00:17:35,427
Speaker 11: seem to be any mention of Murray Ray from the

326
00:17:35,547 --> 00:17:43,787
Speaker 11: nineteen fifty six Olympics, where he was unfortunately subject to

327
00:17:43,827 --> 00:17:46,267
Speaker 11: the fact there were only six lanes for the final,

328
00:17:46,787 --> 00:17:51,227
Speaker 11: and in his semi he came fourth and the three

329
00:17:51,267 --> 00:17:54,667
Speaker 11: people had beat him got the gold, silver and bronze.

330
00:17:55,387 --> 00:17:59,627
Speaker 11: And the prior year Murray Ray beat Heck Hogan, who

331
00:17:59,707 --> 00:18:03,707
Speaker 11: was the gold medal winner, you know, who was visiting

332
00:18:03,747 --> 00:18:07,547
Speaker 11: New Zealand. So just a little bit, I just thought

333
00:18:07,547 --> 00:18:11,467
Speaker 11: I'd chipping and you know, paid tribute to Murraiy Ray,

334
00:18:12,227 --> 00:18:15,987
Speaker 11: who was didn't seem to get any mentioned these days.

335
00:18:16,187 --> 00:18:19,787
Speaker 2: No, it's I guess you kind of naturally gravitate, Neil

336
00:18:19,827 --> 00:18:22,427
Speaker 2: towards those who have actually you know, have won medals,

337
00:18:22,867 --> 00:18:27,307
Speaker 2: you know. And yeah, but you're right, a lot of

338
00:18:28,107 --> 00:18:30,187
Speaker 2: a lot of people have gone to Olympic Games and

339
00:18:30,227 --> 00:18:32,787
Speaker 2: done really good things and but for you know, but

340
00:18:32,947 --> 00:18:36,827
Speaker 2: for circumstances or different opposition or whatever it might be,

341
00:18:36,867 --> 00:18:39,027
Speaker 2: they would have got on the podium. I just think

342
00:18:39,027 --> 00:18:42,507
Speaker 2: it's it's something we haven't seen at all recently, and

343
00:18:42,547 --> 00:18:43,987
Speaker 2: I just think it's great to have it back. We

344
00:18:44,067 --> 00:18:45,707
Speaker 2: see a lot of middle distance runners come out of

345
00:18:45,707 --> 00:18:49,067
Speaker 2: New Zealand, but not too many sprinters, so it's great

346
00:18:49,067 --> 00:18:50,227
Speaker 2: to see how we're doing so well.

347
00:18:51,107 --> 00:18:53,667
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I'm hoping that she.

348
00:18:55,467 --> 00:18:56,187
Speaker 12: Has success.

349
00:18:57,307 --> 00:19:00,627
Speaker 2: Neil. I think you've encapsulated it beautifully. I think we

350
00:19:00,707 --> 00:19:04,027
Speaker 2: all hope that she has success. She's ticked off one

351
00:19:04,387 --> 00:19:07,267
Speaker 2: through to the semi. Didn't you make it to the final?

352
00:19:07,307 --> 00:19:08,667
Speaker 2: I think, like I said, I think that would be

353
00:19:08,707 --> 00:19:11,867
Speaker 2: a huge achievement, a massive achievement to make a final

354
00:19:12,347 --> 00:19:14,507
Speaker 2: in the one hundred meters out on Olympic Games. Let's

355
00:19:14,507 --> 00:19:17,227
Speaker 2: see how she goes tomorrow morning. Thanks Neil. What are

356
00:19:17,227 --> 00:19:19,667
Speaker 2: you enjoying watching Bob oh?

357
00:19:19,827 --> 00:19:23,187
Speaker 13: Hi? Yeah? Yeah, Well look the Olympics has really worked.

358
00:19:23,187 --> 00:19:26,667
Speaker 13: It's just engaged everybody. I mean, I mean the opens

359
00:19:26,787 --> 00:19:29,147
Speaker 13: army could have been even better if the sun had

360
00:19:29,147 --> 00:19:32,987
Speaker 13: been out like they planned. But yeah, and some great efforts,

361
00:19:33,307 --> 00:19:35,867
Speaker 13: it's turned out a great spectacle. I mean, Hayden, while

362
00:19:36,027 --> 00:19:40,387
Speaker 13: you know, full really gave it in the in the triathlon,

363
00:19:40,427 --> 00:19:42,907
Speaker 13: which of course the swim just turned into a crazy

364
00:19:43,147 --> 00:19:45,907
Speaker 13: raid against the current, but you know that was mad.

365
00:19:45,907 --> 00:19:48,507
Speaker 13: But Les it turned out visibly for them. I mean,

366
00:19:48,707 --> 00:19:50,627
Speaker 13: I mean he kept the pressure up, Alex. He he

367
00:19:50,787 --> 00:19:54,627
Speaker 13: just thinks incredibly deep at any point, you know, and

368
00:19:54,627 --> 00:19:56,467
Speaker 13: you've got to, you know, just dig so deep and

369
00:19:56,507 --> 00:19:59,187
Speaker 13: shadows himself in the sprints, and that's what the story there.

370
00:19:59,827 --> 00:20:02,267
Speaker 13: I mean, Zoe Hobbs be great if she made the final.

371
00:20:02,307 --> 00:20:05,467
Speaker 13: We shouldn't be expect any any more. She's actually a

372
00:20:05,507 --> 00:20:09,547
Speaker 13: speed sprinter. But she's increased her pace at a stride

373
00:20:09,547 --> 00:20:12,227
Speaker 13: and lowered a hit position a bit. But she's a

374
00:20:12,267 --> 00:20:14,667
Speaker 13: speed sprinder. She can turn her legs fast. She might

375
00:20:14,707 --> 00:20:17,067
Speaker 13: have a double kick, so she's one to watch for

376
00:20:17,107 --> 00:20:21,227
Speaker 13: the future. Jordy Beamish could look good, The shot putters

377
00:20:21,227 --> 00:20:25,747
Speaker 13: could look good. Overall, it's going well. The problems we've

378
00:20:25,747 --> 00:20:27,987
Speaker 13: been putting them in too much of a box, you know,

379
00:20:28,067 --> 00:20:31,827
Speaker 13: and saying okay, you know, sink or swim in and

380
00:20:32,027 --> 00:20:34,627
Speaker 13: castigate them as they don't. Now that's easing off, which

381
00:20:34,667 --> 00:20:37,347
Speaker 13: is great because they have to have the pressure off them.

382
00:20:37,547 --> 00:20:41,347
Speaker 13: And it's interesting that the two women in the rowing,

383
00:20:41,427 --> 00:20:43,947
Speaker 13: Lucy Spores and Brook Fancis, did a great effort out

384
00:20:43,947 --> 00:20:46,827
Speaker 13: of nothing. They just completely went for it and the

385
00:20:46,827 --> 00:20:49,227
Speaker 13: way that, you know, just the way they handled it

386
00:20:48,667 --> 00:20:52,507
Speaker 13: was great. We've got to of course high jumped the

387
00:20:52,547 --> 00:20:56,307
Speaker 13: highdrant man. You know, here is definite gold possibility. The

388
00:20:56,307 --> 00:21:02,147
Speaker 13: shot printers could meddle. It's the main problems when sports

389
00:21:02,187 --> 00:21:05,187
Speaker 13: gets politicized, which is inevitable anyway, because so much money

390
00:21:05,267 --> 00:21:08,227
Speaker 13: goes into it, you see. So then they think, oh god, well,

391
00:21:08,267 --> 00:21:10,987
Speaker 13: you know, we own these people because the fact has

392
00:21:11,027 --> 00:21:13,667
Speaker 13: paid them so much that you've got to just lay

393
00:21:13,707 --> 00:21:16,947
Speaker 13: off and let them do it and handle it there,

394
00:21:16,987 --> 00:21:19,747
Speaker 13: which basically they do well the rowing and doing it

395
00:21:19,867 --> 00:21:20,307
Speaker 13: very well.

396
00:21:22,147 --> 00:21:24,467
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think there's too much politicizing going on, Bob,

397
00:21:24,467 --> 00:21:27,347
Speaker 2: If I'm honest, I don't think, you know, I don't

398
00:21:27,387 --> 00:21:29,347
Speaker 2: see that, certainly, not in the way that you're suggesting,

399
00:21:29,387 --> 00:21:31,867
Speaker 2: in terms of people saying that you know, yes, we

400
00:21:32,347 --> 00:21:34,507
Speaker 2: help fund them, so they should do well. Yeah, there's

401
00:21:34,547 --> 00:21:38,707
Speaker 2: always an examination of certain sports that don't perhaps perform

402
00:21:38,747 --> 00:21:41,627
Speaker 2: as well as we hope they would. The rowers certainly

403
00:21:41,787 --> 00:21:45,427
Speaker 2: can't be accused of that. Three medals already for the rowers,

404
00:21:45,427 --> 00:21:49,107
Speaker 2: two more on offer, hopefully tonight when the single skulls

405
00:21:49,147 --> 00:21:52,147
Speaker 2: hit the water. Am a Twig and Tom Macintosh and

406
00:21:52,187 --> 00:21:55,467
Speaker 2: the single skulls final. Let's hope that they can do

407
00:21:55,507 --> 00:21:57,787
Speaker 2: something special as well. We could have five medals out

408
00:21:57,787 --> 00:21:59,947
Speaker 2: of the rowing regatta. Then we get into the kayaking.

409
00:22:00,067 --> 00:22:02,267
Speaker 2: Of course, let's not forget that. I think, I don't

410
00:22:02,307 --> 00:22:04,467
Speaker 2: know if you do this, but you look ahead and

411
00:22:04,467 --> 00:22:06,307
Speaker 2: you think, okay, well how many medals could we get?

412
00:22:06,907 --> 00:22:08,587
Speaker 2: You do this at the start, and you kind of

413
00:22:08,627 --> 00:22:11,107
Speaker 2: make an estimate. And we had Joseph Romaros on the

414
00:22:11,107 --> 00:22:13,987
Speaker 2: show a couple of weeks ago, who's watched more Olympic

415
00:22:14,027 --> 00:22:16,467
Speaker 2: Games probably than anybody, and he said, and I tend

416
00:22:16,507 --> 00:22:19,507
Speaker 2: to agree that twenty that we got in Tokyo feels

417
00:22:19,547 --> 00:22:21,747
Speaker 2: a little bit out of reach. But I think if

418
00:22:21,787 --> 00:22:25,787
Speaker 2: we're somewhere mid teens and medals, that'd be terrific. It

419
00:22:25,827 --> 00:22:27,267
Speaker 2: took us a while to get one, didn't it. Were

420
00:22:27,267 --> 00:22:29,987
Speaker 2: you feeling during the week, Where's how metal coming from?

421
00:22:30,427 --> 00:22:31,867
Speaker 2: Where are we going to get one from? Because it

422
00:22:31,867 --> 00:22:34,747
Speaker 2: was like two three days before the women's sevens won

423
00:22:34,787 --> 00:22:38,867
Speaker 2: their gold, then Hayden Wild with his silver, and then

424
00:22:39,107 --> 00:22:41,227
Speaker 2: the Rovers of course, and the sailors last night. So

425
00:22:41,227 --> 00:22:43,187
Speaker 2: we're starting to get a bit of momentum going now.

426
00:22:43,467 --> 00:22:46,907
Speaker 2: But for a while it was like, where's how medals?

427
00:22:47,067 --> 00:22:50,507
Speaker 2: Where are they? A couple of texts through here, be

428
00:22:50,587 --> 00:22:52,307
Speaker 2: good to see two or three all blacks in the

429
00:22:52,307 --> 00:22:55,427
Speaker 2: sevens team next Olympics. Yeah, this is a This is

430
00:22:55,467 --> 00:22:58,947
Speaker 2: an interesting conversation, isn't remember Caleb Clark took the took

431
00:22:58,987 --> 00:23:02,747
Speaker 2: time out from fifteen's to play sevens with the intent

432
00:23:02,947 --> 00:23:05,427
Speaker 2: or the ambition of going to the Tokyo Olympics, and

433
00:23:05,467 --> 00:23:07,707
Speaker 2: the seven team didn't work out for him. He didn't actually,

434
00:23:07,707 --> 00:23:09,707
Speaker 2: I think it was a non traveling reserve. Might have

435
00:23:09,707 --> 00:23:14,907
Speaker 2: traveled in the end anyway, didn't play. And then you

436
00:23:14,947 --> 00:23:17,907
Speaker 2: look at the women's sevens team and the number of

437
00:23:17,947 --> 00:23:20,827
Speaker 2: players in there who also play fifteens, and it's just

438
00:23:20,867 --> 00:23:22,147
Speaker 2: not the same with the men. I know it's a

439
00:23:22,147 --> 00:23:25,267
Speaker 2: different landscape. I get all that, but for an Olympic

440
00:23:25,347 --> 00:23:29,307
Speaker 2: Games where New Zealand couldn't get past the quarter finals

441
00:23:29,347 --> 00:23:32,347
Speaker 2: this time in the men's competition. If we flavored that

442
00:23:32,387 --> 00:23:36,107
Speaker 2: with a couple of X factor all blacks, could that

443
00:23:36,147 --> 00:23:39,107
Speaker 2: tip the balance again. I know that they've got Super

444
00:23:39,147 --> 00:23:41,867
Speaker 2: Rugby and all of that, and test seasons, and you know,

445
00:23:42,187 --> 00:23:45,187
Speaker 2: the international rugby calendar doesn't stop for Olympic Games. But

446
00:23:46,667 --> 00:23:49,667
Speaker 2: the joy we got from watching our women win the

447
00:23:49,707 --> 00:23:52,827
Speaker 2: seven's gold, you get the feeling it to be exactly

448
00:23:52,827 --> 00:23:55,387
Speaker 2: the same for the men twelve thirty three. The last

449
00:23:55,467 --> 00:23:58,907
Speaker 2: key we, says Miles in an Olympic one hundred meters

450
00:23:58,907 --> 00:24:02,627
Speaker 2: sprint final was Arthur Porrit in nineteen twenty four, also

451
00:24:02,667 --> 00:24:05,867
Speaker 2: in Powis, So maybe some symmetry there. Arthur Porrick claimed

452
00:24:05,907 --> 00:24:07,907
Speaker 2: bronze for US then, But I think that's a bridge

453
00:24:07,907 --> 00:24:10,707
Speaker 2: too far for Zoe, who was in wonderful form. Nonetheless,

454
00:24:10,827 --> 00:24:13,787
Speaker 2: there's no question that she should have gone last time.

455
00:24:13,827 --> 00:24:16,147
Speaker 2: There's no better experience for an athlete than to show

456
00:24:16,147 --> 00:24:18,587
Speaker 2: out on the big stage, and it makes being able

457
00:24:18,627 --> 00:24:22,507
Speaker 2: to perform to one's best in subsequent years far more likely.

458
00:24:22,547 --> 00:24:27,387
Speaker 2: Great point, Miles, great point really really should have gone

459
00:24:27,467 --> 00:24:30,627
Speaker 2: last time to get the experience. And I don't know

460
00:24:30,627 --> 00:24:34,827
Speaker 2: whether that's quantifiable. But if she'd gone last time, she

461
00:24:34,827 --> 00:24:36,387
Speaker 2: would have learned a whole lot of things. I know

462
00:24:36,467 --> 00:24:38,187
Speaker 2: Tokyo was a COVID Games as well, so that's a

463
00:24:38,227 --> 00:24:42,827
Speaker 2: bit different too. But yeah, I think in hindsight, those

464
00:24:42,827 --> 00:24:46,347
Speaker 2: who made those decisions to not select Zoe and Eddie,

465
00:24:46,347 --> 00:24:49,987
Speaker 2: OsO and Katia for the last Olympics made an error.

466
00:24:50,587 --> 00:24:53,707
Speaker 2: All that build up, all those hours of training come

467
00:24:53,747 --> 00:24:56,347
Speaker 2: down to this for Zoey Hobbs. In lane six she

468
00:24:56,427 --> 00:24:58,387
Speaker 2: got away nicely. Zoe Hobbs in the middle of the

469
00:24:58,387 --> 00:25:01,707
Speaker 2: field and leads through twenty meters. Julian Elfred down here

470
00:25:01,707 --> 00:25:04,827
Speaker 2: in late nine, Zoey Hobbs leads through eighty meters. She's

471
00:25:04,827 --> 00:25:06,787
Speaker 2: going to be second. She's going to we go through

472
00:25:06,827 --> 00:25:11,387
Speaker 2: to the semis. Zoey Hobbs second in her heat. She

473
00:25:11,547 --> 00:25:15,907
Speaker 2: gone away smartly and held her form through seventeen meters.

474
00:25:15,947 --> 00:25:18,547
Speaker 2: Only at the last was she picked by Julian Alfred.

475
00:25:19,107 --> 00:25:25,067
Speaker 2: Zoey Hobbs eleven eight. She's pleased, She's really pleased, and

476
00:25:25,147 --> 00:25:28,627
Speaker 2: she's through to the semifinals. Here that was zoe Hobbs

477
00:25:28,747 --> 00:25:31,987
Speaker 2: eleven eight this morning, her best run this season into

478
00:25:32,027 --> 00:25:34,787
Speaker 2: the semis. New Zealand's big guns have qualified for the

479
00:25:34,827 --> 00:25:38,347
Speaker 2: twelve strong men's shot put final. Tom Walsh and Jack

480
00:25:38,347 --> 00:25:41,747
Speaker 2: O'Gill will both be there in tomorrow morning's final. Middle

481
00:25:41,747 --> 00:25:43,947
Speaker 2: distance runner Sam Tanner will have to go through the

482
00:25:43,987 --> 00:25:46,787
Speaker 2: reperchage to earn his place in the fifteen hundred meter

483
00:25:46,907 --> 00:25:50,507
Speaker 2: semi finals after finishing outside the top six needed to

484
00:25:50,587 --> 00:25:55,307
Speaker 2: advance out of the heats. Olympic heptathlete in London twenty

485
00:25:55,387 --> 00:25:59,467
Speaker 2: twelve and now track and field commentator Sarah Cowley Ross

486
00:25:59,547 --> 00:26:02,347
Speaker 2: is with us from Paris. Great to chat to you, Sarah,

487
00:26:02,347 --> 00:26:05,387
Speaker 2: What did you make first of all of Zoey Hobbs's

488
00:26:05,467 --> 00:26:08,547
Speaker 2: run in the first round of the one hundred meters.

489
00:26:08,707 --> 00:26:12,267
Speaker 14: Well bondere Pine from Paris.

490
00:26:12,307 --> 00:26:16,907
Speaker 15: First of all, and Zoe's run was brilliant this morning

491
00:26:17,027 --> 00:26:20,707
Speaker 15: in the one hundred meters heats round one eight heats

492
00:26:20,867 --> 00:26:22,387
Speaker 15: and she got through as.

493
00:26:22,267 --> 00:26:25,347
Speaker 14: The second fastest in her heat. Eleven.

494
00:26:25,547 --> 00:26:29,227
Speaker 15: Eight is actually a great time for her because she

495
00:26:29,387 --> 00:26:34,067
Speaker 15: ran into a minus zero point eight headwind, so when

496
00:26:34,107 --> 00:26:38,707
Speaker 15: you normalize that, it's actually one of her best runs ever.

497
00:26:38,907 --> 00:26:42,307
Speaker 15: So she has shown up here in Paris in brilliant shape.

498
00:26:43,267 --> 00:26:47,547
Speaker 15: She races well through the rounds, so now semi final

499
00:26:47,587 --> 00:26:51,947
Speaker 15: bound and making history for New Zealand, which is what we.

500
00:26:51,907 --> 00:26:52,667
Speaker 14: Love to see.

501
00:26:52,747 --> 00:26:55,707
Speaker 2: Absolutely. I heard her say afterwards in one of the

502
00:26:55,707 --> 00:26:58,107
Speaker 2: interviews she did that she was a bit nervous coming in.

503
00:26:58,187 --> 00:27:01,627
Speaker 2: Could you send any nerves in her pre race?

504
00:27:04,627 --> 00:27:08,827
Speaker 15: I think for a first time, I'm Olympian coming out

505
00:27:08,867 --> 00:27:14,307
Speaker 15: into that stadium today and the biggest crowd that people

506
00:27:14,347 --> 00:27:18,947
Speaker 15: have seen London would have been quite overwhelming. No matter

507
00:27:18,947 --> 00:27:21,907
Speaker 15: how much visualization you do, no matter how much you

508
00:27:21,987 --> 00:27:26,307
Speaker 15: know mental skills work, you cannot replicate the stadium feel

509
00:27:26,787 --> 00:27:32,027
Speaker 15: and the atmosphere in the Star Defrance is absolutely mind blowing. Also,

510
00:27:32,227 --> 00:27:35,787
Speaker 15: keep in mind that she has wanted this moment for

511
00:27:35,987 --> 00:27:38,907
Speaker 15: so long, she has trained so hard to get to

512
00:27:38,947 --> 00:27:42,747
Speaker 15: that start line, and then all of a sudden she's there. Absolutely,

513
00:27:42,747 --> 00:27:45,027
Speaker 15: there's going to be nerves, but now she's into her work,

514
00:27:45,307 --> 00:27:48,787
Speaker 15: She's got through this heat and came on for tomorrow

515
00:27:48,867 --> 00:27:50,307
Speaker 15: night at this Star de France.

516
00:27:50,907 --> 00:27:54,427
Speaker 2: So, without wanting to jinx her in any way or

517
00:27:54,467 --> 00:27:57,587
Speaker 2: to put too much pressure on her, are we looking

518
00:27:57,627 --> 00:28:00,827
Speaker 2: at an athlete here, Sarah, who could make the final

519
00:28:01,067 --> 00:28:02,747
Speaker 2: of the one hundred meters.

520
00:28:04,267 --> 00:28:08,747
Speaker 15: We are absolutely think at an athlete who could make

521
00:28:08,787 --> 00:28:11,947
Speaker 15: the one hundred meter final. It will be really really

522
00:28:12,027 --> 00:28:15,027
Speaker 15: difficult for her. But if she's in the mix in

523
00:28:15,067 --> 00:28:18,707
Speaker 15: her heat, she's in the third heat of three, sorry,

524
00:28:18,787 --> 00:28:25,027
Speaker 15: the third semi final of three good semi And the

525
00:28:25,107 --> 00:28:28,227
Speaker 15: good thing is for New Zealand is that you will

526
00:28:28,267 --> 00:28:31,227
Speaker 15: see the first two heats go and you will know

527
00:28:31,947 --> 00:28:35,627
Speaker 15: what time Zoe would then have to run if she

528
00:28:35,667 --> 00:28:38,907
Speaker 15: does not finish in the top two in her semifinal.

529
00:28:39,347 --> 00:28:44,667
Speaker 15: So three semifinals, top two in the semi in each

530
00:28:44,747 --> 00:28:46,427
Speaker 15: one plus the next.

531
00:28:46,227 --> 00:28:48,987
Speaker 14: Two fastest will progress to the finals.

532
00:28:49,667 --> 00:28:52,387
Speaker 2: Just can't wait for those semifinals and to see whether

533
00:28:52,827 --> 00:28:55,387
Speaker 2: Zoe could even go under eleven seconds in that semi

534
00:28:55,467 --> 00:28:59,747
Speaker 2: and blast into the final. Sam Tanner was also out

535
00:28:59,747 --> 00:29:02,667
Speaker 2: there in a black singlet today in the fifteen hundred heats.

536
00:29:02,867 --> 00:29:06,267
Speaker 2: He'll go through a rapper charge, tough, tough heat for her,

537
00:29:06,347 --> 00:29:08,667
Speaker 2: and he was getting sort of bullied around it. But

538
00:29:08,787 --> 00:29:10,347
Speaker 2: did you see that from where you were watching?

539
00:29:11,787 --> 00:29:12,027
Speaker 16: Yes?

540
00:29:12,147 --> 00:29:16,747
Speaker 15: I did where I was watching and commentating this morning,

541
00:29:17,307 --> 00:29:20,747
Speaker 15: and it was it looked brutal at that. It was

542
00:29:20,947 --> 00:29:24,187
Speaker 15: very very hot as well. And the good thing is

543
00:29:24,187 --> 00:29:25,947
Speaker 15: is that he's in the rep of charge you know

544
00:29:26,027 --> 00:29:28,747
Speaker 15: he has he has told the media that he's had

545
00:29:28,947 --> 00:29:32,787
Speaker 15: an achilles naggle in his build up and so I think, actually,

546
00:29:33,547 --> 00:29:35,907
Speaker 15: you know, he might race himself. You know, he needs

547
00:29:35,947 --> 00:29:40,267
Speaker 15: more races. So I think Britanna disappointing not to go

548
00:29:40,427 --> 00:29:43,347
Speaker 15: automatically through the semi finals in the form that he

549
00:29:43,467 --> 00:29:46,827
Speaker 15: was in over Newsa the New Zealand summer. But you know,

550
00:29:46,907 --> 00:29:49,667
Speaker 15: he's gutsy, he's Samtown. He likes to just give it

551
00:29:49,707 --> 00:29:53,107
Speaker 15: a go and we'll see what happens in the rep charge.

552
00:29:53,187 --> 00:29:55,307
Speaker 2: Yeah, he has to be a chance, so I guess

553
00:29:55,307 --> 00:29:57,747
Speaker 2: if things go his way. But that's another tough event,

554
00:29:57,827 --> 00:30:00,547
Speaker 2: isn't it, Sarah. The fifteen hundred meters. You know, there's

555
00:30:00,547 --> 00:30:02,867
Speaker 2: there's so much that can happen in a race with

556
00:30:02,867 --> 00:30:05,427
Speaker 2: with fifteen athletes out there, and you've got a one.

557
00:30:05,427 --> 00:30:07,387
Speaker 2: I think he has to finish in the top three

558
00:30:07,427 --> 00:30:09,187
Speaker 2: in the rapper charge to go through, Is that right?

559
00:30:10,747 --> 00:30:12,027
Speaker 14: That's my understanding.

560
00:30:12,867 --> 00:30:15,827
Speaker 15: This fifteen hundred meters at the Paris Olympics will be

561
00:30:15,907 --> 00:30:19,467
Speaker 15: one of the marquee events with Jacob Igerbritson, who was

562
00:30:19,507 --> 00:30:23,507
Speaker 15: in Sam's heat and who's the defending Olympic champion, who

563
00:30:23,587 --> 00:30:27,787
Speaker 15: is going against the defending world champion, Josh Kerr of

564
00:30:28,067 --> 00:30:33,667
Speaker 15: g Great Britain. They are running so fast, so for

565
00:30:33,867 --> 00:30:37,867
Speaker 15: Sam he needs to keep calm when the heat goes on.

566
00:30:37,987 --> 00:30:41,907
Speaker 15: How tactically it can play out, but as game on,

567
00:30:42,067 --> 00:30:42,867
Speaker 15: this is it for him.

568
00:30:42,947 --> 00:30:44,187
Speaker 14: It's all on the line now.

569
00:30:44,707 --> 00:30:46,667
Speaker 2: And just a word on our two shot putters, Jack

570
00:30:46,707 --> 00:30:50,187
Speaker 2: O'Gill and Tom Walsh, who threw the automatic qualifier of

571
00:30:50,667 --> 00:30:54,107
Speaker 2: twenty one point three to five meters Jacko through exactly

572
00:30:54,147 --> 00:30:56,627
Speaker 2: that time, A little bit further great to have two

573
00:30:56,707 --> 00:30:59,467
Speaker 2: kiwi's in an Olympic shot put fine a little bit

574
00:30:59,507 --> 00:31:00,627
Speaker 2: later on today our time.

575
00:31:02,147 --> 00:31:03,227
Speaker 14: Yeah, I can't wait for that.

576
00:31:03,387 --> 00:31:05,987
Speaker 15: That's so great for New Zealand and I think we

577
00:31:06,067 --> 00:31:10,547
Speaker 15: can't underesumeate as a nation how amazing that is. And

578
00:31:10,587 --> 00:31:12,547
Speaker 15: I've had lots of commentators come up to mere as

584

Speaker 15: want them to do well. And I hope that the

585
00:31:30,267 --> 00:31:33,587
Speaker 15: next step is now for them to make the top

618
00:33:15,267 --> 00:33:17,507
Speaker 2: eight hundred eighty ten eighty, what are you liking about

619
00:33:17,507 --> 00:33:20,467
Speaker 2: the Olympics? Any sport that you weren't even aware that

620
00:33:20,507 --> 00:33:22,067
Speaker 2: you liked? And now you've become a bit of a

621
00:33:22,067 --> 00:33:26,227
Speaker 2: couch expert on what's grabbed your attention in the first

622
00:33:26,267 --> 00:33:28,387
Speaker 2: week at Paris twenty twenty four. Back after this.

623
00:33:28,907 --> 00:33:35,627
Speaker 1: One grudge hold Ngage Weekend Sport with Jason Fame and GJ. Gunnerhomes,

624
00:33:35,667 --> 00:33:38,827
Speaker 1: New Zealand's most trusted home builder News talks at Baby.

625
00:33:38,907 --> 00:33:40,787
Speaker 2: Back to the lines at the moment fourteen to one,

626
00:33:41,027 --> 00:33:43,427
Speaker 2: Jim says, Pinty, could you clarify I fought ten runners

627
00:33:43,507 --> 00:33:47,387
Speaker 2: in the women's sprint final. Sarah suggested eight. It is eight, Jim,

628
00:33:47,707 --> 00:33:49,667
Speaker 2: there are nine in each of the semis. It's a

629
00:33:49,667 --> 00:33:52,347
Speaker 2: bit weird, but there are nine in each of the semis,

630
00:33:52,347 --> 00:33:54,627
Speaker 2: but only eight in the final. I'm just looking at

631
00:33:54,627 --> 00:34:00,387
Speaker 2: the official website here. First two in each semi and

632
00:34:00,467 --> 00:34:03,827
Speaker 2: the next two fastest advanced to the final. So first

633
00:34:03,827 --> 00:34:05,947
Speaker 2: two in each of the three that's six, and the

634
00:34:06,027 --> 00:34:12,347
Speaker 2: next two fastest so eight. Overall, piety isn't amazing, says Joe.

635
00:34:12,467 --> 00:34:15,787
Speaker 2: How our little country way down the South Pacific continues

636
00:34:15,827 --> 00:34:18,947
Speaker 2: to produce Olympic champions. The events have been exciting and

637
00:34:18,987 --> 00:34:21,227
Speaker 2: it makes me wonder what other countries with far bigger

638
00:34:21,267 --> 00:34:24,387
Speaker 2: populations think about us. And to the two women who

639
00:34:24,427 --> 00:34:27,187
Speaker 2: won gold in the rowing, what super mums they are?

640
00:34:27,667 --> 00:34:31,027
Speaker 2: Kakah to all our athletes. Absolutely Brook France as Lucy Spores,

641
00:34:31,107 --> 00:34:33,907
Speaker 2: got Lucy Spores on the radio after one o'clock. Actually,

642
00:34:34,187 --> 00:34:37,667
Speaker 2: and don't forget you can listen to the Olympics right

643
00:34:37,707 --> 00:34:41,747
Speaker 2: through the night from seven o'clock every evening until nine

644
00:34:41,787 --> 00:34:45,827
Speaker 2: o'clock the next morning, wall to wall commentary on Gold

645
00:34:45,867 --> 00:34:50,547
Speaker 2: Sport or iHeartRadio. So gold Sport that's the old that's

646
00:34:50,707 --> 00:34:54,707
Speaker 2: basically you know on your radio or on iHeartRadio. Just

647
00:34:54,747 --> 00:34:57,987
Speaker 2: download iHeartRadio onto your smartphone or your device, look for

648
00:34:58,067 --> 00:35:00,907
Speaker 2: gold Sport on that and we will keep you up

649
00:35:00,947 --> 00:35:05,867
Speaker 2: to date, entertained informed through the night commentary team. There's

650
00:35:05,907 --> 00:35:09,147
Speaker 2: six of us. We're having a great time, absolutely loving it.

651
00:35:09,427 --> 00:35:12,587
Speaker 2: So hopefully you can join us between seven pm and

652
00:35:12,907 --> 00:35:15,787
Speaker 2: nine am every night for the rest of the Olympics.

653
00:35:15,787 --> 00:35:17,347
Speaker 2: You don't have to hang around for the whole time

654
00:35:17,747 --> 00:35:20,787
Speaker 2: just dipping it out, you know, just we're always there.

655
00:35:21,267 --> 00:35:22,747
Speaker 2: We don't need you to be there the whole time,

656
00:35:22,747 --> 00:35:23,587
Speaker 2: but we're always there.

657
00:35:23,587 --> 00:35:28,027
Speaker 18: Hello, Mark, Hey Fonny. Do you know who she's running

658
00:35:28,027 --> 00:35:29,307
Speaker 18: against in a semi finals?

659
00:35:30,507 --> 00:35:30,707
Speaker 12: Yeah?

660
00:35:30,707 --> 00:35:32,907
Speaker 2: I do, Yeah, I do. I was saying before that

661
00:35:32,947 --> 00:35:39,627
Speaker 2: the fastest by personal best in her particular semi is

662
00:35:40,627 --> 00:35:43,267
Speaker 2: twenty Terry from the United States. She's got a ten

663
00:35:43,427 --> 00:35:46,427
Speaker 2: eight to two. See there's a small margins. Mark ta

664
00:35:46,467 --> 00:35:51,227
Speaker 2: Clayton Jamaica ten point eight six, Darryl Nita from Great

665
00:35:51,267 --> 00:35:54,267
Speaker 2: Britain ten point nine to zero, Audrey Ludeck from Canada

666
00:35:54,307 --> 00:35:56,387
Speaker 2: ten point ninety five. Zoe Hobbs can run a ten

667
00:35:56,427 --> 00:35:59,027
Speaker 2: point nine six, but I reckon in the semi she

668
00:35:59,147 --> 00:36:02,267
Speaker 2: runs her personal best, then all bets are off. I reckon,

669
00:36:02,307 --> 00:36:03,227
Speaker 2: she's a big chance.

670
00:36:04,347 --> 00:36:07,067
Speaker 18: I reckon, it's quite a past tracks. Well, that new

671
00:36:07,067 --> 00:36:10,267
Speaker 18: purple surface they've got down, so they might make it

672
00:36:10,387 --> 00:36:13,867
Speaker 18: going a few tenths quicker over thee hundred, and seems

673
00:36:13,907 --> 00:36:16,827
Speaker 18: to be at the right time because she's not pretty

674
00:36:16,867 --> 00:36:21,227
Speaker 18: comfortable and in the heat. I'll yeah, so I thought

675
00:36:21,307 --> 00:36:26,547
Speaker 18: so too. It's quite interesting that we're seeing that her

676
00:36:26,587 --> 00:36:29,347
Speaker 18: getting into the final was almost like a metal, wasn't

677
00:36:29,347 --> 00:36:32,947
Speaker 18: it really. I mean it's it's almost better than the metal.

678
00:36:33,027 --> 00:36:36,027
Speaker 18: If she could make the finals, that would sort of probably, Yeah,

679
00:36:36,507 --> 00:36:38,947
Speaker 18: that's buy a lot of pundits to say, wow, you know,

680
00:36:39,107 --> 00:36:43,027
Speaker 18: the top eight fastest woman in the world's pretty big

681
00:36:43,067 --> 00:36:45,987
Speaker 18: achievement for a small country, I suppose. And yeah, it's

682
00:36:46,147 --> 00:36:50,587
Speaker 18: fantastic having someone of her caliber just making a venta.

683
00:36:50,747 --> 00:36:53,267
Speaker 2: Yes, I totally agree, Mark, I totally agree. And amongst

684
00:36:53,307 --> 00:36:55,227
Speaker 2: all of the you know, like I said, there's other

685
00:36:55,267 --> 00:36:58,187
Speaker 2: glamour events, but the one hundred meters has always been

686
00:36:58,227 --> 00:37:00,147
Speaker 2: one that you know, a lot of people look out for.

687
00:37:00,307 --> 00:37:03,147
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if you saw this morning Shelley and

688
00:37:03,307 --> 00:37:06,627
Speaker 2: Fraser price out of Jamaica. She's thirty seven years old

689
00:37:06,987 --> 00:37:10,267
Speaker 2: and she's still she's saw running some believe, and she's incredible.

690
00:37:11,227 --> 00:37:14,067
Speaker 18: I saw did you see the fifteen hundred ten? You

691
00:37:14,067 --> 00:37:16,707
Speaker 18: would have seen the tenor was in the guy from Norway.

692
00:37:18,347 --> 00:37:19,107
Speaker 2: He's astonishing.

693
00:37:19,147 --> 00:37:22,427
Speaker 18: And yeah, he just stood up at the start and said, ah,

694
00:37:22,587 --> 00:37:24,027
Speaker 18: you guys, go ahead, I'll catch up.

695
00:37:24,227 --> 00:37:27,747
Speaker 2: Exactly, I'll catch you. I'll catch you on the home straight.

696
00:37:28,947 --> 00:37:30,667
Speaker 8: There again.

697
00:37:29,867 --> 00:37:33,707
Speaker 2: I imagine imagine having that in your locker. Imagine knowing

698
00:37:33,747 --> 00:37:36,067
Speaker 2: that you know, with one hundred meters to go, you

699
00:37:36,067 --> 00:37:37,907
Speaker 2: can just turn on the after burners and just and

700
00:37:37,947 --> 00:37:40,867
Speaker 2: just you know, do what do what is required. Yeah,

701
00:37:40,907 --> 00:37:42,547
Speaker 2: he's incredible, that bloke.

702
00:37:43,707 --> 00:37:46,707
Speaker 18: I wanted to mention just one more thing. I thought

703
00:37:46,707 --> 00:37:50,227
Speaker 18: the swimming and the triathal on the organization, considering how

704
00:37:50,307 --> 00:37:52,667
Speaker 18: much money they spent on that river, was just terrible.

705
00:37:52,707 --> 00:37:54,987
Speaker 18: And and one other thing I thought was bad was

706
00:37:55,027 --> 00:37:58,427
Speaker 18: the surface in some of the woman's the woman's triathlon

707
00:37:58,627 --> 00:38:01,867
Speaker 18: and their time trial. When it rained, that thing became

708
00:38:01,947 --> 00:38:04,467
Speaker 18: like a nice skating ring. You've got these top athletes

709
00:38:05,067 --> 00:38:07,867
Speaker 18: getting probably one chance their lifetime to compete in the

710
00:38:07,947 --> 00:38:10,587
Speaker 18: surfaces that bear. Did you notice that.

711
00:38:11,107 --> 00:38:13,347
Speaker 2: Yeah there were cobbles. Yeah there were cobbles as part

712
00:38:13,387 --> 00:38:15,467
Speaker 2: of the triathlon course. I thought they might make it

713
00:38:15,507 --> 00:38:19,387
Speaker 2: a bit more conducive to not falling off your bike,

714
00:38:19,747 --> 00:38:21,467
Speaker 2: but I guess it's part of the challenge.

715
00:38:21,507 --> 00:38:21,707
Speaker 12: Mark.

716
00:38:21,907 --> 00:38:24,987
Speaker 2: But yeah, it was only when it rained, when the men,

717
00:38:25,067 --> 00:38:26,547
Speaker 2: and when the men got on the bike. I think

718
00:38:26,547 --> 00:38:28,187
Speaker 2: it had stopped raining, hadn't it. So there went so

719
00:38:28,227 --> 00:38:30,787
Speaker 2: many problems. Great to jet to your Mark as always.

720
00:38:30,827 --> 00:38:35,387
Speaker 12: Hello Robert, good afternoon, Bunny. You'll be pleased to know

721
00:38:35,427 --> 00:38:38,107
Speaker 12: it's a lovely sunny time. Calm down.

722
00:38:39,507 --> 00:38:42,347
Speaker 2: And you even said it with a straight face.

723
00:38:43,107 --> 00:38:48,867
Speaker 12: Especially in tower. Anyway, Jason, I attend to be Mexico

724
00:38:48,947 --> 00:38:50,707
Speaker 12: into Games of nine and sixty eight, and I've got

725
00:38:50,707 --> 00:38:52,307
Speaker 12: a lot of bit of memories about it, so I

726
00:38:52,347 --> 00:38:55,507
Speaker 12: neviably tend to compare them with what I see on TV.

727
00:38:55,587 --> 00:38:57,627
Speaker 12: Now for the Olympics, I've got two issues. Just briefly,

728
00:38:57,627 --> 00:39:01,547
Speaker 12: the razor can take on about the stadium. Is it

729
00:39:01,627 --> 00:39:03,707
Speaker 12: the start of France when they have the rugby that

730
00:39:03,787 --> 00:39:07,507
Speaker 12: they've got all the events? Yes, an amazing job of

731
00:39:07,547 --> 00:39:12,547
Speaker 12: creating the track around the outside of the rugby field

732
00:39:12,827 --> 00:39:16,427
Speaker 12: actively in such a short time. When the sevens are on.

733
00:39:16,467 --> 00:39:18,667
Speaker 12: I don't recall the track being obvious around the outside.

734
00:39:18,667 --> 00:39:22,027
Speaker 12: It maybe wrong. It just shows you the size of

735
00:39:22,027 --> 00:39:24,787
Speaker 12: the stadium and the fact that it's seventy something poersant.

736
00:39:25,067 --> 00:39:27,827
Speaker 12: I've seen the Elbert's played there three times and it

737
00:39:27,867 --> 00:39:30,587
Speaker 12: can be cold and wet when you start a Test

738
00:39:30,587 --> 00:39:34,827
Speaker 12: match at nine pm. I can tellue. The second thing

739
00:39:35,027 --> 00:39:37,267
Speaker 12: was there's been a number of comments in the media

740
00:39:37,507 --> 00:39:41,307
Speaker 12: about this track being faster than anyone has had before.

741
00:39:41,587 --> 00:39:43,107
Speaker 12: How do they make a track faster?

742
00:39:44,187 --> 00:39:46,987
Speaker 2: It's a very good question, Robert. I can only assume

743
00:39:47,027 --> 00:39:49,867
Speaker 2: it's the makeup of the surface. It has to be

744
00:39:49,907 --> 00:39:53,587
Speaker 2: something to do with the science of the track. Somebody

745
00:39:53,587 --> 00:39:55,667
Speaker 2: will know, thankfully, Robert, and they'll probably let us know.

746
00:39:55,787 --> 00:39:58,147
Speaker 2: But I can only imagine that it's the way that

747
00:39:58,227 --> 00:40:01,587
Speaker 2: the track is laid that makes it more conducive to

748
00:40:01,667 --> 00:40:02,347
Speaker 2: running fast.

749
00:40:03,147 --> 00:40:06,187
Speaker 12: You see. I'm aware of how they can change the

750
00:40:06,347 --> 00:40:10,107
Speaker 12: feed or tennis courts, for example, Yes, the the Plexi

751
00:40:10,147 --> 00:40:12,707
Speaker 12: paid service they put on most hard services in New Ziale.

752
00:40:12,827 --> 00:40:15,067
Speaker 12: It's a question of how much sand or good they

753
00:40:15,067 --> 00:40:17,347
Speaker 12: put into the emulsion that gets spread over the court,

754
00:40:17,347 --> 00:40:19,707
Speaker 12: and that can make it the faster or start. We

755
00:40:19,787 --> 00:40:23,827
Speaker 12: know that Clay and Roll and Garris and grass wimbled

756
00:40:23,907 --> 00:40:26,227
Speaker 12: and wimbled and greatly adjusted by the height of the

757
00:40:26,267 --> 00:40:29,027
Speaker 12: grass and when they bring the balls out of the

758
00:40:29,067 --> 00:40:32,947
Speaker 12: French what their temperature is. That it just struck me

759
00:40:32,987 --> 00:40:36,587
Speaker 12: as strange that the track could be adjusted to effectively

760
00:40:36,627 --> 00:40:39,747
Speaker 12: to give a greater opportunity for the athletes competing on

761
00:40:39,787 --> 00:40:42,547
Speaker 12: it to set not only a PB, but maybe a

762
00:40:42,587 --> 00:40:46,147
Speaker 12: world record. We're a fastest several Olympic time, which was

763
00:40:47,347 --> 00:40:49,267
Speaker 12: in the ten thousand meters last night, which was an

764
00:40:49,187 --> 00:40:49,907
Speaker 12: amazing use.

765
00:40:50,107 --> 00:40:52,627
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was, and the four by four hundred relay

766
00:40:52,627 --> 00:40:54,747
Speaker 2: as well, just the heats, Robert, there was a world

767
00:40:54,747 --> 00:40:57,547
Speaker 2: record set there. Times against us make great to chat,

768
00:40:57,667 --> 00:40:59,627
Speaker 2: enjoy the sunshine and to our seven to one news

769
00:40:59,667 --> 00:41:00,227
Speaker 2: talks EB.

Speaker 1: Analyzing every view from every angle in the Sporting World

771
00:41:04,707 --> 00:41:09,787
Speaker 1: Weekend Sport with Jaws Talks.

772
00:41:09,547 --> 00:41:11,227
Speaker 2: It'd be three and a half to one. One of

773
00:41:11,267 --> 00:41:14,387
Speaker 2: our gold medalists after one o'clock Lucy Spores, who along

774
00:41:14,387 --> 00:41:17,907
Speaker 2: with Brook Francis one gold in the women's double skulls.

775
00:41:17,947 --> 00:41:21,187
Speaker 2: The other night Steve said, how good's Australia going third

776
00:41:21,267 --> 00:41:25,547
Speaker 2: overall and third on the ridiculous per capita table. Yeah,

777
00:41:25,547 --> 00:41:28,107
Speaker 2: the per capita tables a cracker, isn't it. We always

778
00:41:28,467 --> 00:41:30,467
Speaker 2: much higher up that Lucy Spores after one.

779
00:41:31,427 --> 00:41:35,747
Speaker 1: The only place for the big names, the big issues,

780
00:41:36,347 --> 00:41:41,347
Speaker 1: the big controversies and the big conversations. It's all on

781
00:41:41,427 --> 00:41:45,187
Speaker 1: Weekend Sport with Jason Vain on your home of Sport

782
00:41:45,667 --> 00:41:46,267
Speaker 1: News Talks.

783
00:41:46,387 --> 00:41:49,787
Speaker 2: D be Well one O seven, thanks for joining us

784
00:41:49,827 --> 00:41:52,267
Speaker 2: on Weekend Sport. I'm Jason Pine Bev and Juwa through

785
00:41:52,307 --> 00:41:55,987
Speaker 2: the glass. We're he till three more Olympics this hour

786
00:41:56,187 --> 00:41:58,267
Speaker 2: going to pop across the Tasman too. See how they're

787
00:41:58,347 --> 00:42:01,627
Speaker 2: enjoying it. They're certainly enjoying it in the pool. The

788
00:42:01,667 --> 00:42:06,867
Speaker 2: Aussie's having it absolutely terrific swim meet at the Olympics.

789
00:42:06,947 --> 00:42:10,227
Speaker 2: More golds in the Paul I think than the United States.

790
00:42:10,827 --> 00:42:12,987
Speaker 2: But chatting to Adam Peacock last week and he said, look,

791
00:42:13,227 --> 00:42:16,467
Speaker 2: we know we can't really compete head to head with

792
00:42:16,547 --> 00:42:18,987
Speaker 2: the United States and the big swim meets. Well, they're

793
00:42:18,987 --> 00:42:20,347
Speaker 2: doing a pretty good job of it at the moment.

794
00:42:21,067 --> 00:42:24,107
Speaker 2: So Adam Peacock this out. Also want to go to

795
00:42:24,147 --> 00:42:28,187
Speaker 2: the other end of the emotional spectrum and Dylan Schmidt

796
00:42:28,507 --> 00:42:33,187
Speaker 2: who in his trampoline final a few hours ago, just

797
00:42:34,147 --> 00:42:40,027
Speaker 2: inexplicably just fell. It was just so heartbreaking to watch

798
00:42:40,067 --> 00:42:43,627
Speaker 2: from a guy who won bronze in Tokyo three years

799
00:42:43,627 --> 00:42:46,107
Speaker 2: ago and tried to put a brave face on it,

800
00:42:46,147 --> 00:42:50,867
Speaker 2: but man, I just so felt for him. So you're

801
00:42:50,907 --> 00:42:53,907
Speaker 2: Dylan Schmid this hour, and I want to focus on

802
00:42:53,947 --> 00:42:57,547
Speaker 2: the rowers as well, Gold, silver, bronze and the rowing

803
00:42:57,587 --> 00:43:02,827
Speaker 2: how good? Andrew says, in response to what Robert was

804
00:43:02,867 --> 00:43:05,467
Speaker 2: asking at the end of last out. There is a

805
00:43:05,507 --> 00:43:09,787
Speaker 2: new type of pollimeric material in the track. It's improved

806
00:43:09,827 --> 00:43:13,427
Speaker 2: the connection between the track and the new generation of shoes.

807
00:43:13,907 --> 00:43:17,467
Speaker 2: It's not cheap though, estimated at over three million euro

808
00:43:17,627 --> 00:43:20,787
Speaker 2: for the track. Thanks Andrew. Interesting and mike'sis pointy. What's

809
00:43:20,787 --> 00:43:25,267
Speaker 2: your thoughts on if Zoe making the final and the

810
00:43:25,267 --> 00:43:28,227
Speaker 2: one hundred meters would be a bigger achievement than some

811
00:43:28,267 --> 00:43:31,107
Speaker 2: of our gold medals so far. Could be an interesting

812
00:43:31,107 --> 00:43:34,547
Speaker 2: debate at the Hellberg's if it happens making the final

813
00:43:34,747 --> 00:43:37,747
Speaker 2: versus actually winning an event. You know, I'm not going

814
00:43:37,827 --> 00:43:41,307
Speaker 2: to open up that can of worms today, Mike, you know,

815
00:43:42,147 --> 00:43:47,827
Speaker 2: but I get exactly what you're saying. Making a final

816
00:43:48,627 --> 00:43:52,267
Speaker 2: of the one hundred meters at an Olympic Games. Only

817
00:43:52,387 --> 00:43:57,547
Speaker 2: eight people do that every four years. If Zoe Hobbs

818
00:43:57,627 --> 00:44:00,867
Speaker 2: was to make the final, even if she ran eighth,

819
00:44:01,187 --> 00:44:04,147
Speaker 2: how big an achievement would that be? I guess we'll

820
00:44:04,187 --> 00:44:05,987
Speaker 2: wait to see if it happens, and then maybe we

821
00:44:06,027 --> 00:44:08,787
Speaker 2: can open and up the debate then, Mike, it would

822
00:44:08,787 --> 00:44:11,787
Speaker 2: be an interesting one with I'm sure arguments on both

823
00:44:11,827 --> 00:44:14,787
Speaker 2: sides coming up. Ten past one. What a day for

824
00:44:14,867 --> 00:44:19,827
Speaker 2: our rowers overnight Thursday, New Zealand. Time into yesterday in Paris.

825
00:44:20,107 --> 00:44:24,747
Speaker 19: One hundred meters to go, Brook Francis, Lucy Spores. They've

826
00:44:24,747 --> 00:44:27,707
Speaker 19: got their noses in front. Can they maintain the lead?

827
00:44:27,987 --> 00:44:32,987
Speaker 19: Half a boat length? Francis Spores gold beckons for the

828
00:44:33,027 --> 00:44:36,587
Speaker 19: New Zealand women's double skulls down to the line.

829
00:44:36,667 --> 00:44:39,547
Speaker 2: That's gold, gold.

830
00:44:39,427 --> 00:44:46,907
Speaker 19: For New Zealand, Brook Francis, Lucy Spores, Olympic champions. Magnificent

831
00:44:47,267 --> 00:44:49,907
Speaker 19: from the New Zealand women's double skulls crew.

832
00:44:49,907 --> 00:44:53,027
Speaker 2: No outstanding call from Malcolm Jordan. Gold for Brook Francis

833
00:44:53,027 --> 00:44:55,747
Speaker 2: and Lucy Spores and the women's double skulls of silver

834
00:44:55,787 --> 00:44:57,987
Speaker 2: and a bronze as well as I say we'll get

835
00:44:57,987 --> 00:44:59,627
Speaker 2: to those in the sec But after they won that

836
00:44:59,707 --> 00:45:02,387
Speaker 2: gold medal, I spoke with Lucy Spores to see how

837
00:45:02,427 --> 00:45:06,587
Speaker 2: it felt to be an Olympic champion double sculler.

838
00:45:06,627 --> 00:45:09,427
Speaker 20: Oh, it feels unbelievable, and it's just slowly starting to

839
00:45:09,467 --> 00:45:12,107
Speaker 20: sink in. I think when you're racing, you can only

840
00:45:12,107 --> 00:45:14,907
Speaker 20: ever think so far ahead, and you're always sort of

841
00:45:14,907 --> 00:45:16,707
Speaker 20: thinking about the moment and what's ahead of you.

842
00:45:16,667 --> 00:45:17,187
Speaker 18: For that day.

843
00:45:17,307 --> 00:45:19,867
Speaker 20: So to be here now in New Zealand house, celebrating

844
00:45:19,867 --> 00:45:22,107
Speaker 20: with family and friends, it's sort of just starting to

845
00:45:22,467 --> 00:45:23,107
Speaker 20: all set in.

846
00:45:23,907 --> 00:45:25,267
Speaker 2: It's been a journey, hasn't it.

847
00:45:25,307 --> 00:45:25,507
Speaker 7: You know.

848
00:45:25,587 --> 00:45:27,587
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people are becoming aware of

849
00:45:27,627 --> 00:45:31,067
Speaker 2: your story after Tokyo, a way to start a family

850
00:45:31,187 --> 00:45:34,747
Speaker 2: back now a couple of mums who are now gold medalists.

851
00:45:35,307 --> 00:45:37,067
Speaker 2: How do you reflect on the last three years of

852
00:45:37,107 --> 00:45:37,707
Speaker 2: your life?

853
00:45:39,147 --> 00:45:43,827
Speaker 20: Oh, I'm so I'm so proud, I guess, and I

854
00:45:43,907 --> 00:45:46,907
Speaker 20: have taken some time today to sort of reflect on

855
00:45:47,507 --> 00:45:50,267
Speaker 20: where we've come from and what it has taken, because

856
00:45:51,227 --> 00:45:53,747
Speaker 20: I guess there was a point there where, yes, we

857
00:45:53,867 --> 00:45:57,307
Speaker 20: had both just given birth, and I felt so far

858
00:45:57,387 --> 00:46:00,827
Speaker 20: physically from where I needed to be as an Olympian

859
00:46:00,987 --> 00:46:04,547
Speaker 20: and also I was going through such mental changes as

860
00:46:04,587 --> 00:46:06,547
Speaker 20: a mother. You know, it really changes who you are,

861
00:46:06,667 --> 00:46:10,907
Speaker 20: so together it all together and to persevere when you

862
00:46:10,947 --> 00:46:13,147
Speaker 20: when you know that you were, you know, sort of

863
00:46:13,347 --> 00:46:15,467
Speaker 20: scraping up the bottom of the Royal New Zealand team

864
00:46:15,467 --> 00:46:18,147
Speaker 20: and you're not on form at all. It has taken

865
00:46:18,187 --> 00:46:19,907
Speaker 20: a lot of patience. Yeah, and I think a lot

866
00:46:19,907 --> 00:46:22,347
Speaker 20: of courage from both of us. And I definitely couldn't

867
00:46:22,347 --> 00:46:25,547
Speaker 20: have done it without Brook because to have someone who was,

868
00:46:25,747 --> 00:46:28,627
Speaker 20: you know, just three months ahead of me postpartum, and

869
00:46:29,507 --> 00:46:31,147
Speaker 20: you know, to be able to have her to ask

870
00:46:31,227 --> 00:46:34,947
Speaker 20: questions of and things like that, it's been, yeah, amazing

871
00:46:34,987 --> 00:46:35,947
Speaker 20: and definitely a journey.

872
00:46:36,467 --> 00:46:39,067
Speaker 2: Did you always feel as though you would make it

873
00:46:39,107 --> 00:46:39,627
Speaker 2: to Paris?

874
00:46:41,627 --> 00:46:43,667
Speaker 20: I think, if I'm honest, we both didn't return to

875
00:46:43,747 --> 00:46:49,827
Speaker 20: Sport without believing that we could be in Paris. The

876
00:46:49,867 --> 00:46:52,187
Speaker 20: first thing I wanted to take off was obviously qualifying

877
00:46:52,187 --> 00:46:54,507
Speaker 20: the boat and getting here. But you know, we both

878
00:46:54,547 --> 00:46:57,747
Speaker 20: had Silver and Tokyo and we both I think had

879
00:46:57,747 --> 00:47:00,427
Speaker 20: a real drive to be here, not to just make

880
00:47:00,507 --> 00:47:03,627
Speaker 20: up the numbers. So yeah, I think I think there

881
00:47:03,627 --> 00:47:06,867
Speaker 20: has been a deep belief throughout, even though from the outside.

882
00:47:06,867 --> 00:47:08,907
Speaker 20: It probably didn't really look like that for a really

883
00:47:08,947 --> 00:47:09,467
Speaker 20: long time.

884
00:47:10,507 --> 00:47:12,227
Speaker 2: Well let's look at this race. You were third at

885
00:47:12,267 --> 00:47:16,147
Speaker 2: one thousand, then accelerated to take the lead from Romania

886
00:47:16,187 --> 00:47:18,787
Speaker 2: around the fifteen hundred meter mark, and then they came

887
00:47:18,827 --> 00:47:22,147
Speaker 2: at you at the end. Was did the race go

888
00:47:22,267 --> 00:47:24,107
Speaker 2: to plan? Is it what you planned?

889
00:47:26,867 --> 00:47:29,907
Speaker 20: We have a very set race plan for obviously different

890
00:47:29,947 --> 00:47:32,307
Speaker 20: stages of the race, which I know like the back

891
00:47:32,347 --> 00:47:34,587
Speaker 20: of my hand, But today sort of the main goal

892
00:47:34,707 --> 00:47:36,827
Speaker 20: was we went out there thinking that we had to

893
00:47:36,827 --> 00:47:41,747
Speaker 20: be brave. The Romanians have been unbelievably dominant for the

894
00:47:41,827 --> 00:47:46,467
Speaker 20: last three years since Tokyo, and they're really dangerous, you know,

895
00:47:46,627 --> 00:47:49,507
Speaker 20: in that last five hundred, and going up beside them

896
00:47:49,507 --> 00:47:53,707
Speaker 20: in that last five hundred wasn't exactly where I would

897
00:47:53,707 --> 00:47:56,067
Speaker 20: have said was the perfect place to be. But I

898
00:47:56,147 --> 00:47:59,027
Speaker 20: also just back, you know Brooks so much, and I thought,

899
00:47:59,027 --> 00:48:00,707
Speaker 20: if we get our bow out, I reckon, we're not

900
00:48:00,747 --> 00:48:02,947
Speaker 20: going to give it up. And I kind of feel

901
00:48:02,987 --> 00:48:04,827
Speaker 20: like that's exactly what we did. We just once we

902
00:48:04,867 --> 00:48:07,107
Speaker 20: got our bow out, we were just hanging on, hanging on,

903
00:48:07,227 --> 00:48:08,987
Speaker 20: hanging on, and the rate was coming up and up.

904
00:48:09,027 --> 00:48:12,947
Speaker 20: But I think we just knew we could hang in there.

905
00:48:13,787 --> 00:48:17,507
Speaker 2: I remember the men's double scullers Joseph Sullivan Nathan Cohen

906
00:48:17,547 --> 00:48:20,627
Speaker 2: winning gold in London and twenty twelve, and from memory,

907
00:48:20,667 --> 00:48:23,747
Speaker 2: that was a sprint finish as well. Was that Were

908
00:48:23,747 --> 00:48:25,947
Speaker 2: you aware of that sort of finish that might be

909
00:48:26,027 --> 00:48:28,147
Speaker 2: required to win gold in a regatta like this?

910
00:48:29,427 --> 00:48:31,467
Speaker 20: Yeah, And it's funny you say that, because we've actually

911
00:48:31,467 --> 00:48:34,627
Speaker 20: told told a lot of people that today. Is that

912
00:48:35,387 --> 00:48:37,427
Speaker 20: we talked about it if it came down to that,

913
00:48:37,667 --> 00:48:41,427
Speaker 20: and we knew that the last couple of strokes would

914
00:48:41,467 --> 00:48:44,947
Speaker 20: have to be punchy and really effective, and coming into

915
00:48:44,947 --> 00:48:48,547
Speaker 20: the last hundred, Brook actually yelled Joe, and I knew

916
00:48:48,947 --> 00:48:51,787
Speaker 20: exactly what that meant. I knew that the margin was

917
00:48:51,907 --> 00:48:54,387
Speaker 20: super tight, and I mean it was only sort of

918
00:48:54,387 --> 00:48:56,107
Speaker 20: an hour ago that I actually looked at the Times

919
00:48:56,147 --> 00:48:57,427
Speaker 20: and realized how plus it was.

920
00:48:58,467 --> 00:49:01,347
Speaker 2: That's amazing that your channeled those guys from twelve years

921
00:49:01,387 --> 00:49:04,867
Speaker 2: ago to get you across the line. That's outstanding, of course.

922
00:49:04,987 --> 00:49:07,987
Speaker 20: Yeah, And I actually I actually wrote nothing like Joe Sullivan,

923
00:49:08,067 --> 00:49:11,507
Speaker 20: Like he's a short, powerful guy and I'm much longer,

924
00:49:11,547 --> 00:49:14,667
Speaker 20: and I don't actually know that I'm capable of growing

925
00:49:14,707 --> 00:49:16,827
Speaker 20: like him, But it's what I was thinking about.

926
00:49:17,187 --> 00:49:19,067
Speaker 2: Oh, whatever it was, it worked. Of course, you won

927
00:49:19,147 --> 00:49:23,547
Speaker 2: silver and the women's eight back in Tokyo. How different

928
00:49:23,787 --> 00:49:26,107
Speaker 2: has it been with Brooke just the two of you

929
00:49:26,187 --> 00:49:28,867
Speaker 2: compared to a team of eight or Notine?

930
00:49:28,907 --> 00:49:32,947
Speaker 20: Actually yes, and I mean the team of eight was

931
00:49:32,947 --> 00:49:35,347
Speaker 20: an amazing experience and I wouldn't change it for the world,

932
00:49:35,387 --> 00:49:39,347
Speaker 20: because you know, those girls were absolutely you know, we're

933
00:49:39,387 --> 00:49:40,267
Speaker 20: friends forever now.

934
00:49:40,387 --> 00:49:43,267
Speaker 14: But to do this with Brook.

935
00:49:43,387 --> 00:49:45,187
Speaker 20: Now that we've done that as two months together, I

936
00:49:45,227 --> 00:49:47,547
Speaker 20: can't imagine it working out so well if I was

937
00:49:47,587 --> 00:49:49,827
Speaker 20: in a bigger boat with so many people having to

938
00:49:49,867 --> 00:49:53,587
Speaker 20: make compromise, you know, just having us as a unit,

939
00:49:54,027 --> 00:49:57,347
Speaker 20: I think all mothers know you've got to be flexible

940
00:49:57,387 --> 00:50:00,027
Speaker 20: and things are changing all the time, and the amount

941
00:50:00,067 --> 00:50:02,547
Speaker 20: of times we've had to adapt and change things on

942
00:50:02,587 --> 00:50:05,587
Speaker 20: the fly, it has been difficult and it hasn't been easy.

943
00:50:06,347 --> 00:50:08,467
Speaker 20: Probably having just the two of us in the one

944
00:50:08,507 --> 00:50:12,347
Speaker 20: boat has yeah, given us the ability to do there

945
00:50:12,387 --> 00:50:13,187
Speaker 20: the best of times.

946
00:50:13,467 --> 00:50:17,107
Speaker 2: Amazing. And you weren't the only Spores girl to have

947
00:50:17,227 --> 00:50:20,867
Speaker 2: a dual with Romanians today. Your sister Phoebe of course,

948
00:50:20,907 --> 00:50:23,227
Speaker 2: part of the women's four who won bronze and they

949
00:50:23,227 --> 00:50:25,187
Speaker 2: were battling away with the Romanians for the back end

950
00:50:25,187 --> 00:50:27,107
Speaker 2: of their race as well. Did you get the chance

951
00:50:27,147 --> 00:50:28,027
Speaker 2: to watch that race?

952
00:50:29,347 --> 00:50:29,467
Speaker 16: Oh?

953
00:50:29,547 --> 00:50:31,867
Speaker 20: I did, And I think I ruined about ten other

954
00:50:31,907 --> 00:50:37,707
Speaker 20: people's media interviews in the media shoot because I was

955
00:50:37,747 --> 00:50:41,467
Speaker 20: absolutely screaming for thieves. But I was so conscious of

956
00:50:41,827 --> 00:50:43,907
Speaker 20: wrapping up my own interviews and getting myself in a

957
00:50:43,947 --> 00:50:45,587
Speaker 20: place where I could yell my head off for her

958
00:50:45,627 --> 00:50:48,667
Speaker 20: because I really believed that they could also have a

959
00:50:48,667 --> 00:50:50,987
Speaker 20: good race. And I feel the same about the whole

960
00:50:50,987 --> 00:50:52,987
Speaker 20: New Zealand Rolling team. You know, we're all family, and

961
00:50:53,027 --> 00:50:56,347
Speaker 20: I think we're heading into another couple of really exciting days.

962
00:50:56,507 --> 00:50:58,627
Speaker 20: You know, all our training partners are about to go

963
00:50:58,707 --> 00:51:00,907
Speaker 20: next and it's going to be cool.

964
00:51:00,827 --> 00:51:03,067
Speaker 2: So cool, all right, And just before you go, obviously

965
00:51:03,267 --> 00:51:06,027
Speaker 2: a new mum. Now, are your son Rupert? I believe

966
00:51:06,067 --> 00:51:08,787
Speaker 2: he's there with you, presumably.

967
00:51:09,507 --> 00:51:11,427
Speaker 20: Yes, he is. So Brooke and I have moved into

968
00:51:11,467 --> 00:51:14,627
Speaker 20: the hotel and the team hotel in Paris, so he's

969
00:51:14,627 --> 00:51:16,067
Speaker 20: staying with my partner.

970
00:51:15,747 --> 00:51:17,587
Speaker 14: And my parents in an airbnb.

971
00:51:17,627 --> 00:51:20,987
Speaker 20: But he's here. He's been watching every day. Today was

972
00:51:21,387 --> 00:51:24,067
Speaker 20: really hot for him. He's been He needs to have

973
00:51:24,107 --> 00:51:28,907
Speaker 20: a few ice blocks and calm down. But for an

974
00:51:28,947 --> 00:51:31,147
Speaker 20: eighteen month old, he said, some pretty big days.

975
00:51:31,547 --> 00:51:34,067
Speaker 2: I remember those days as when my kids were about

976
00:51:34,067 --> 00:51:35,827
Speaker 2: that age year. Nothing like an ice block to come

977
00:51:35,867 --> 00:51:39,387
Speaker 2: somebody down on a hot day. Outstanding, Lucy, congratulations on

978
00:51:39,387 --> 00:51:42,227
Speaker 2: the gold medal. Everybody back here is just utterly delighted

979
00:51:42,227 --> 00:51:44,027
Speaker 2: with what you've achieved. More to come, I know from

980
00:51:44,027 --> 00:51:46,027
Speaker 2: the rowing team. Thanks so much for taking the time

981
00:51:46,027 --> 00:51:46,507
Speaker 2: for a chat.

982
00:51:46,747 --> 00:51:47,467
Speaker 20: Thanks so much.

983
00:51:47,827 --> 00:51:51,547
Speaker 2: As Lucy spores gold medalist in the women's double skulls

984
00:51:51,547 --> 00:51:54,547
Speaker 2: along with Brook Francis. Not long after that, of course,

985
00:51:54,587 --> 00:51:56,707
Speaker 2: there was silver for the men's four.

986
00:51:56,987 --> 00:52:00,787
Speaker 19: They're almost bow to bow now the New Zealand Crewe, McLean,

987
00:52:01,107 --> 00:52:03,387
Speaker 19: oul Rich, Murray and McDonald.

988
00:52:03,747 --> 00:52:05,147
Speaker 2: Can they run down the US?

989
00:52:05,587 --> 00:52:07,947
Speaker 19: I think it's going to be just beyond them, the

990
00:52:08,067 --> 00:52:13,187
Speaker 19: USA coming down to the line in first position. Gold

991
00:52:13,347 --> 00:52:15,107
Speaker 19: goes to US silver.

992
00:52:16,107 --> 00:52:19,867
Speaker 2: New Zealand, Yes, silver for the men's four, comprising Olie McLain,

993
00:52:20,187 --> 00:52:23,907
Speaker 2: Logan Ulrich, Tom Murray and Matt McDonald. I spoke to

994
00:52:23,947 --> 00:52:26,747
Speaker 2: Matt McDonald not long after they received their medals and

995
00:52:26,827 --> 00:52:28,627
Speaker 2: asked how it feels around his neck.

996
00:52:29,627 --> 00:52:34,787
Speaker 21: It feels effict it's heavy, super shiny, where we're over

997
00:52:34,827 --> 00:52:37,667
Speaker 21: the moon with how our race went and how the

998
00:52:38,347 --> 00:52:43,747
Speaker 21: overall the regatta went for us. Yeah, we're we're extremely proud.

999
00:52:43,907 --> 00:52:46,787
Speaker 2: Pipped by the United States who led from start to finish,

1000
00:52:46,867 --> 00:52:48,387
Speaker 2: but g you gave it a good go. Can you

1001
00:52:48,587 --> 00:52:50,467
Speaker 2: can you talk about the race? Can you take us

1002
00:52:50,467 --> 00:52:52,227
Speaker 2: through it from start to finish?

1003
00:52:52,747 --> 00:52:53,027
Speaker 12: Yeah?

1004
00:52:53,427 --> 00:52:57,827
Speaker 21: Yeah, the Americans were exceptional today. I don't think they

1005
00:52:57,907 --> 00:53:01,347
Speaker 21: put a foot wrong, and we soon knew we were

1006
00:53:01,347 --> 00:53:02,947
Speaker 21: going to have to have our perfect race for it

1007
00:53:02,987 --> 00:53:05,987
Speaker 21: to be that closed or for it to be goal

1008
00:53:06,067 --> 00:53:09,227
Speaker 21: for us, and I think, you know, we we did

1009
00:53:09,347 --> 00:53:12,387
Speaker 21: just about have one hundred percent perfect race, and you

1010
00:53:12,467 --> 00:53:15,507
Speaker 21: were right. They did lead from start to finish, and

1011
00:53:15,947 --> 00:53:17,907
Speaker 21: we knew we needed to have a good start and

1012
00:53:17,987 --> 00:53:20,267
Speaker 21: get away quickly with them, which I think we did

1013
00:53:20,307 --> 00:53:21,227
Speaker 21: a decent job of.

1014
00:53:21,267 --> 00:53:21,787
Speaker 12: And then.

1015
00:53:23,707 --> 00:53:25,907
Speaker 21: I think they sort of moved away slowly in that

1016
00:53:25,987 --> 00:53:29,027
Speaker 21: sort of second five hundred, and we then did a

1017
00:53:29,067 --> 00:53:31,547
Speaker 21: really good job of coming back up to them in

1018
00:53:31,587 --> 00:53:34,427
Speaker 21: the third five hundred, and then it was really exciting

1019
00:53:34,467 --> 00:53:36,307
Speaker 21: coming into the last five hundred.

1020
00:53:36,347 --> 00:53:39,067
Speaker 17: We I think we drew pretty much level with them.

1021
00:53:38,947 --> 00:53:41,187
Speaker 21: And thought we had a real shot at the gold

1022
00:53:42,307 --> 00:53:45,027
Speaker 21: and we were just chasing the line the whole way,

1023
00:53:45,067 --> 00:53:48,547
Speaker 21: and I think, you know, with that little buffer that

1024
00:53:48,587 --> 00:53:50,867
Speaker 21: they had built earlier on in the race, they were

1025
00:53:50,947 --> 00:53:55,467
Speaker 21: able to sort of cover our move. But we're extremely

1026
00:53:55,467 --> 00:53:58,427
Speaker 21: proud the way we raced and left everything out there.

1027
00:53:58,427 --> 00:54:02,467
Speaker 21: So you know, I think none of us have any regrets,

1028
00:54:02,027 --> 00:54:04,867
Speaker 21: and they were the top crew today.

1029
00:54:05,267 --> 00:54:08,587
Speaker 2: Yeah, perfectly discret It's a tough class, isn't it. I mean,

1030
00:54:08,627 --> 00:54:11,707
Speaker 2: outside of the eighth, it feels like the men's four

1031
00:54:11,867 --> 00:54:14,667
Speaker 2: is a really tough class. I think yours is just

1032
00:54:14,707 --> 00:54:18,187
Speaker 2: the third podium finish in this class. Does it feel

1033
00:54:18,227 --> 00:54:20,307
Speaker 2: does it feel really competitive this class?

1034
00:54:21,827 --> 00:54:24,187
Speaker 21: Yeah, it does. I feel like the men's four is like,

1035
00:54:25,707 --> 00:54:27,987
Speaker 21: you know, the f one of rowing to be fair,

1036
00:54:27,987 --> 00:54:30,827
Speaker 21: apart from the aids, but they're more like a steam train,

1037
00:54:30,907 --> 00:54:34,107
Speaker 21: you know, like the way the boat goes the four

1038
00:54:34,227 --> 00:54:38,187
Speaker 21: is super light and flighty, and you it's a it's

1039
00:54:38,227 --> 00:54:41,067
Speaker 21: a real magic boat to row when when you're up

1040
00:54:41,107 --> 00:54:41,707
Speaker 21: out of the water.

1041
00:54:41,827 --> 00:54:43,907
Speaker 17: So yeah, and I think that's.

1042
00:54:43,667 --> 00:54:47,707
Speaker 21: Reflected in the in the sort of level of rolling

1043
00:54:47,787 --> 00:54:53,027
Speaker 21: in that field. You know, there was sex crews lining

1044
00:54:53,107 --> 00:54:55,947
Speaker 21: up that could have won that race on the day,

1045
00:54:56,027 --> 00:54:59,467
Speaker 21: so to come away with silver where we're super stoked

1046
00:54:59,507 --> 00:55:03,987
Speaker 21: and and to be amongst GB and USA on the

1047
00:55:04,027 --> 00:55:09,067
Speaker 21: podium is is really cool. Because of the last three

1048
00:55:09,227 --> 00:55:12,387
Speaker 21: and regattas, including this one, there's been the same podium

1049
00:55:13,387 --> 00:55:17,307
Speaker 21: slightly different orders each time, but it's been a great,

1050
00:55:18,067 --> 00:55:21,147
Speaker 21: great competition racing against those guys, and we've built a

1051
00:55:21,147 --> 00:55:25,307
Speaker 21: bit of camaraderie over the last eighteen months or so

1052
00:55:25,347 --> 00:55:28,667
Speaker 21: since World Champs in Serbia. So yeah, all in awers,

1053
00:55:29,027 --> 00:55:30,507
Speaker 21: it was a great day.

1054
00:55:30,667 --> 00:55:32,747
Speaker 2: Yeah, not bad company to be and that's for sure.

1055
00:55:32,907 --> 00:55:35,147
Speaker 2: Of course, you were part of the eight that won

1056
00:55:35,347 --> 00:55:38,147
Speaker 2: in Tokyo three years ago with Tom Murray, Ollie and

1057
00:55:38,187 --> 00:55:42,227
Speaker 2: Logan at their first games. Did you have to look

1058
00:55:42,307 --> 00:55:46,787
Speaker 2: after the first timers or do you all actually was

1059
00:55:46,827 --> 00:55:48,347
Speaker 2: it all okay once you got out there?

1060
00:55:50,227 --> 00:55:53,507
Speaker 21: Oh no, no, it was it was all okay. Oli

1061
00:55:53,547 --> 00:55:56,667
Speaker 21: and Logan a seasoned racers in their own right. So

1062
00:55:57,187 --> 00:56:00,027
Speaker 21: we had, you know, everyone had total trust in each

1063
00:56:00,067 --> 00:56:03,707
Speaker 21: other's ability and knew that we were going to go

1064
00:56:03,827 --> 00:56:07,307
Speaker 21: racing and perform really well because that's sort of the

1065
00:56:07,347 --> 00:56:09,827
Speaker 21: strength of our crew. I'd say, like a two k

1066
00:56:09,987 --> 00:56:13,707
Speaker 21: race is really our bread and butter. We're kind of

1067
00:56:13,867 --> 00:56:18,227
Speaker 21: not the best lower stroke great crew or over longer distances,

1068
00:56:18,227 --> 00:56:20,227
Speaker 21: but as soon as we get to open it up

1069
00:56:20,267 --> 00:56:22,427
Speaker 21: and go for a race like that's where we really shine.

1070
00:56:22,467 --> 00:56:26,987
Speaker 21: So no, there was no sort of looking after the

1071
00:56:27,027 --> 00:56:29,587
Speaker 21: younger guys at all. They were they were raring to

1072
00:56:29,667 --> 00:56:31,907
Speaker 21: go and we're all on great form.

1073
00:56:32,147 --> 00:56:34,107
Speaker 2: And by the time you guys crossed for your silver,

1074
00:56:34,347 --> 00:56:36,787
Speaker 2: of course, that was That was the complete set for

1075
00:56:36,827 --> 00:56:39,627
Speaker 2: New Zealand on the day with gold and the women's

1076
00:56:39,667 --> 00:56:42,987
Speaker 2: double skulls bronze and the women's four. I'm not sure

1077
00:56:42,987 --> 00:56:45,907
Speaker 2: how does it work, Matt. Can you watch those races?

1078
00:56:45,947 --> 00:56:46,147
Speaker 5: Did?

1079
00:56:46,267 --> 00:56:48,707
Speaker 2: Were you aware of the results before you hit the water?

1080
00:56:50,707 --> 00:56:54,587
Speaker 21: We were definitely aware of the woman's double result. It was.

1081
00:56:54,747 --> 00:56:58,387
Speaker 21: It was quite interesting timing because the way the venues

1082
00:56:58,467 --> 00:57:01,547
Speaker 21: set up, we were sort of sort of on a

1083
00:57:01,547 --> 00:57:07,227
Speaker 21: couple floors above the above the race warming up on

1084
00:57:07,387 --> 00:57:10,387
Speaker 21: land on the IRB, so we saw the women's double

1085
00:57:10,427 --> 00:57:12,507
Speaker 21: come down and saw them win.

1086
00:57:12,627 --> 00:57:15,307
Speaker 17: So that was massively.

1087
00:57:16,227 --> 00:57:19,267
Speaker 21: A huge boost of motivation and confidence as we're just

1088
00:57:19,307 --> 00:57:21,507
Speaker 21: about to get on the water to see another key

1089
00:57:21,547 --> 00:57:24,867
Speaker 21: we crew that we've been training alongside do the business

1090
00:57:24,867 --> 00:57:27,867
Speaker 21: and win. So yeah, like we got to see them

1091
00:57:28,987 --> 00:57:31,627
Speaker 21: do that and then we were on the water in

1092
00:57:31,667 --> 00:57:35,307
Speaker 21: the warm up area just adjacent to the course when

1093
00:57:35,347 --> 00:57:38,587
Speaker 21: the women's four came down and I think we saw

1094
00:57:38,667 --> 00:57:42,347
Speaker 21: them with five hundred meters to go and they were

1095
00:57:42,427 --> 00:57:44,947
Speaker 21: near connected with Romania going to the last five hundred,

1096
00:57:44,987 --> 00:57:47,507
Speaker 21: so it was really all to play for for the

1097
00:57:47,507 --> 00:57:51,547
Speaker 21: bronze at that point, and Romain is not necessarily the

1098
00:57:51,667 --> 00:57:53,627
Speaker 21: nation you want to come up against in a sprint,

1099
00:57:55,427 --> 00:57:58,867
Speaker 21: so I had full confidence in our girls, but I

1100
00:57:58,907 --> 00:58:01,747
Speaker 21: knew it was going to take an epic last five hundred.

1101
00:58:01,867 --> 00:58:05,987
Speaker 21: So when we got to the metal pond turn and

1102
00:58:05,987 --> 00:58:08,827
Speaker 21: saw the boat sitting there, that was when we realized

1103
00:58:08,827 --> 00:58:10,427
Speaker 21: that the woman's four had got a middle two. So

1104
00:58:11,307 --> 00:58:13,667
Speaker 21: that was there was another win right there in that moment.

1105
00:58:13,707 --> 00:58:18,107
Speaker 21: So it was it was an epic sort of our

1106
00:58:18,187 --> 00:58:19,547
Speaker 21: forty five minutes kind of thing.

1107
00:58:19,547 --> 00:58:19,867
Speaker 12: It was.

1108
00:58:19,907 --> 00:58:21,347
Speaker 21: It was a real high for the whole.

1109
00:58:21,147 --> 00:58:24,187
Speaker 2: Team, absolutely, and for everybody back here, I can tell you,

1110
00:58:24,227 --> 00:58:26,227
Speaker 2: and there's hopefully more to come, because do you get

1111
00:58:26,267 --> 00:58:29,707
Speaker 2: the opportunity now to stay on and support your you know,

1112
00:58:29,787 --> 00:58:31,747
Speaker 2: your your country men and women who still have the

1113
00:58:31,787 --> 00:58:33,787
Speaker 2: opportunity to row for medals.

1114
00:58:35,067 --> 00:58:39,107
Speaker 21: Yes, yes, absolutely, we'll be there tomorrow and the next

1115
00:58:39,147 --> 00:58:41,947
Speaker 21: day to watch the rest of the New Zealand crews

1116
00:58:41,987 --> 00:58:46,907
Speaker 21: come down, and I think it's super It's a unique

1117
00:58:46,947 --> 00:58:49,827
Speaker 21: situation to have some of the team finish a couple

1118
00:58:49,867 --> 00:58:55,947
Speaker 21: of days before the others. You know, there becomes a

1119
00:58:55,987 --> 00:58:59,187
Speaker 21: sense of momentum and the team when certain when crews

1120
00:58:59,187 --> 00:59:02,307
Speaker 21: are going well and performing. Because we all do the

1121
00:59:02,347 --> 00:59:06,827
Speaker 21: same training, we all do the same hours and have

1122
00:59:06,867 --> 00:59:09,027
Speaker 21: done followed the same program. So as soon as you

1123
00:59:09,067 --> 00:59:11,267
Speaker 21: get the sense that one crew is going well and

1124
00:59:11,307 --> 00:59:13,947
Speaker 21: then the other crew goes well and then another, there's

1125
00:59:13,947 --> 00:59:16,427
Speaker 21: a real confidence in the team that and belief that

1126
00:59:16,467 --> 00:59:20,387
Speaker 21: what we've done is is really going to work and payout.

1127
00:59:20,427 --> 00:59:22,827
Speaker 21: So you can, you know, step out onto the water

1128
00:59:22,947 --> 00:59:27,387
Speaker 21: knowing knowing that beyond yourself, the whole team is really

1129
00:59:27,427 --> 00:59:28,707
Speaker 21: on form.

1130
00:59:29,227 --> 00:59:31,507
Speaker 2: So good. You must be stoked, man, I mean this

1131
00:59:31,587 --> 00:59:33,787
Speaker 2: must just I know you've got your gold from Tokyo,

1132
00:59:33,947 --> 00:59:36,427
Speaker 2: of course, but I mean this must be special too.

1133
00:59:36,507 --> 00:59:36,947
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1134
00:59:37,067 --> 00:59:39,787
Speaker 2: You know you sound very calm, but you must be euphoric,

1135
00:59:39,827 --> 00:59:41,467
Speaker 2: are you in a certain sense?

1136
00:59:42,587 --> 00:59:42,787
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1137
00:59:42,947 --> 00:59:46,587
Speaker 21: No, absolutely you for it hasn't really stunk in yet

1138
00:59:47,427 --> 00:59:50,707
Speaker 21: to be honest, but yeah, to do it in a

1139
00:59:50,707 --> 00:59:54,467
Speaker 21: different boat class and with a different group of guys.

1140
00:59:55,307 --> 00:59:58,387
Speaker 21: It's a whole different beasts each campaign, so this one

1141
00:59:58,467 --> 01:00:02,667
Speaker 21: feels really special. You know, I was one of the

1142
01:00:02,707 --> 01:00:04,667
Speaker 21: young I was one of the youngest guys in the

1143
01:00:04,707 --> 01:00:06,067
Speaker 21: eight so I was really just sort of following the

1144
01:00:06,147 --> 01:00:09,947
Speaker 21: lead and doing the best I could in that boat.

1145
01:00:09,987 --> 01:00:13,747
Speaker 21: And you know, Tokyo was a massive learning experience and

1146
01:00:14,907 --> 01:00:17,267
Speaker 21: I just tried to apply what we had learned through

1147
01:00:17,307 --> 01:00:21,947
Speaker 21: that boat class to this and it's served us really well.

1148
01:00:22,027 --> 01:00:23,707
Speaker 17: So yeah, absolutely over the moon.

1149
01:00:24,027 --> 01:00:27,907
Speaker 2: Congratulations Matt. Wonderful stuff from you, from Ollie Logan and

1150
01:00:27,987 --> 01:00:30,067
Speaker 2: Tom as well and the others who have picked up

1151
01:00:30,067 --> 01:00:32,587
Speaker 2: some precious metal today as well. May there be a

1152
01:00:32,587 --> 01:00:34,147
Speaker 2: bit more to come. Thanks for taking the time for

1153
01:00:34,187 --> 01:00:35,307
Speaker 2: a chat. Really appreciate it.

1154
01:00:35,387 --> 01:00:37,227
Speaker 21: Cool, Thank you, No worries, catch you later.

1155
01:00:37,467 --> 01:00:40,067
Speaker 2: That is Matt McDonald who I spoke to after the

1156
01:00:40,387 --> 01:00:44,987
Speaker 2: men's four one silver. So yeah, gold, silver and bronze. Now,

1157
01:00:45,067 --> 01:00:49,067
Speaker 2: as mentioned, there could be more rowing medals tonight because

1158
01:00:49,107 --> 01:00:51,987
Speaker 2: both our single scullers have their final. First of all,

1159
01:00:52,027 --> 01:00:56,787
Speaker 2: the women's single skulls final featuring Emma Twig is set

1160
01:00:56,787 --> 01:00:59,707
Speaker 2: to go at eighteen minutes past eight to be precise,

1161
01:01:00,067 --> 01:01:03,147
Speaker 2: so they're all thereabouts and followed by the men's single

1162
01:01:03,227 --> 01:01:08,707
Speaker 2: skulls final with Tom McIntosh thirty so, eight eighteen and

1163
01:01:08,827 --> 01:01:11,067
Speaker 2: eight thirty. If you can't get around a television, tuna

1164
01:01:11,147 --> 01:01:15,187
Speaker 2: to gold Sport and iHeartRadio. Malcolm Jordan called the three

1165
01:01:15,227 --> 01:01:19,107
Speaker 2: medals brilliantly the other night. He'll hopefully have another couple

1166
01:01:19,587 --> 01:01:22,667
Speaker 2: to bring to you via gold Sport a little bit

1167
01:01:22,747 --> 01:01:25,747
Speaker 2: later on tonight. One twenty seven Lines remain open. Any

1168
01:01:25,747 --> 01:01:28,267
Speaker 2: thoughts on the Olympics, anything that you have picked up on,

1169
01:01:28,387 --> 01:01:30,827
Speaker 2: any questions you may have, I could, I might be

1170
01:01:30,827 --> 01:01:33,907
Speaker 2: able to help. I've watched most of what was with

1171
01:01:33,907 --> 01:01:36,067
Speaker 2: most of the Olympics. I've been up for most of

1172
01:01:36,107 --> 01:01:39,267
Speaker 2: the games since they started a week or so ago,

1173
01:01:39,347 --> 01:01:40,747
Speaker 2: so I've picked up a couple of things. Are there's

1174
01:01:40,747 --> 01:01:44,627
Speaker 2: something that's that's, you know, making you curious, I'll look,

1175
01:01:44,667 --> 01:01:46,827
Speaker 2: I'll try to help, and if I can't, we'll chuck

1176
01:01:46,867 --> 01:01:48,347
Speaker 2: it out to the audience and they'll be able to.

1177
01:01:48,787 --> 01:01:52,427
Speaker 2: Just like Robert's question about the track. There's one thing

1178
01:01:52,427 --> 01:01:55,107
Speaker 2: I've learned about this radio audience is that if you

1179
01:01:55,467 --> 01:01:57,347
Speaker 2: have a query about something, you just ask them and

1180
01:01:57,387 --> 01:02:00,187
Speaker 2: they tell you. One twenty seven News talks the be

1181
01:02:00,427 --> 01:02:03,667
Speaker 2: back after this with the other end of the emotional spectrum,

1182
01:02:03,947 --> 01:02:09,307
Speaker 2: Dylan Schmidt with his heart breaking end to his trampoline campaign.

1183
01:02:09,787 --> 01:02:10,987
Speaker 2: Dylan Schmidt right after.

1184
01:02:10,827 --> 01:02:15,987
Speaker 1: This from Penrose to Varus, you make to call on

1185
01:02:16,347 --> 01:02:18,747
Speaker 1: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty weekends for it with

1186
01:02:18,907 --> 01:02:22,867
Speaker 1: Jason Pine and GJ. Gardnerholmes, New Zealand's Most Trusted home

1187
01:02:22,947 --> 01:02:24,147
Speaker 1: Builder News Dogs.

1188
01:02:23,987 --> 01:02:28,507
Speaker 2: NB coming up twenty nine to two. So while there

1189
01:02:28,587 --> 01:02:32,347
Speaker 2: was delight, ecstasy in rowing circles with the gold of

1190
01:02:32,427 --> 01:02:36,627
Speaker 2: silver and the bronze, huge disappointment, heartbreak even for Tokyo

1191
01:02:36,747 --> 01:02:40,627
Speaker 2: bronze medalist Dylan Schmidt in the final of the men's

1192
01:02:40,707 --> 01:02:42,187
Speaker 2: trampoline this morning.

1193
01:02:42,067 --> 01:02:45,547
Speaker 22: Smit's underway, a couple of sumrsaults to start smooth. It

1194
01:02:45,587 --> 01:02:48,307
Speaker 22: gets that momentum up and he works his way towards

1195
01:02:48,347 --> 01:02:50,907
Speaker 22: the right of the man struggling in his offas af

1196
01:02:50,987 --> 01:02:55,987
Speaker 22: Dylan Schmidt. He's unable to complete his routine and that's

1197
01:02:56,067 --> 01:02:57,627
Speaker 22: disappointment for the New Zealander.

1198
01:02:57,867 --> 01:03:01,347
Speaker 2: Just absolutely gutting watching Dylan Schmidt fall from the tramp

1199
01:03:01,787 --> 01:03:04,787
Speaker 2: ending his hopes of a medal. It was still pretty

1200
01:03:04,867 --> 01:03:07,387
Speaker 2: raw when I spoke to Dilan Schmidt shortly after that

1201
01:03:07,947 --> 01:03:10,147
Speaker 2: to find out how he was feeling about what had

1202
01:03:10,147 --> 01:03:10,627
Speaker 2: played out.

1203
01:03:11,667 --> 01:03:13,787
Speaker 23: Yeah, look, it's I guess getting there.

1204
01:03:14,347 --> 01:03:15,587
Speaker 17: Yeah, it's a tough one to swallow.

1205
01:03:18,747 --> 01:03:22,107
Speaker 23: Yeah, I mean campaign was great, leader was great, Training

1206
01:03:22,107 --> 01:03:24,267
Speaker 23: has been really really good, bodies feeling good, Putty.

1207
01:03:23,987 --> 01:03:27,267
Speaker 17: Really into training and work really hard and didn't come off,

1208
01:03:27,267 --> 01:03:29,147
Speaker 17: which is obviously heartbreaking.

1209
01:03:30,347 --> 01:03:32,907
Speaker 23: H Yeah, Look, it's it's a tough one to pin

1210
01:03:32,907 --> 01:03:36,627
Speaker 23: point what actually went wrong in the final. Obviously fell

1211
01:03:36,667 --> 01:03:38,507
Speaker 23: off onto the floor, which never helps.

1212
01:03:38,507 --> 01:03:40,627
Speaker 17: But yeah, look, I mean it's just one of those days.

1213
01:03:40,667 --> 01:03:41,387
Speaker 17: Just wasn't my day.

1214
01:03:42,627 --> 01:03:46,627
Speaker 23: But yeah, credit to the the other boys deserving of

1215
01:03:46,707 --> 01:03:49,707
Speaker 23: the podium. Yeah, incredible athletes, and I wish I could

1216
01:03:49,707 --> 01:03:52,027
Speaker 23: have been up there or at least pushing them.

1217
01:03:52,227 --> 01:03:53,867
Speaker 17: But yes, wasn't my day.

1218
01:03:54,707 --> 01:03:57,067
Speaker 2: Was it something that happened quickly or was it over

1219
01:03:57,467 --> 01:03:59,827
Speaker 2: a couple of moves previous? So have you been able

1220
01:03:59,827 --> 01:04:01,787
Speaker 2: to process how it happened?

1221
01:04:03,427 --> 01:04:03,667
Speaker 13: Ah?

1222
01:04:03,747 --> 01:04:05,947
Speaker 23: Yeah, Look, I think the first school was really strong.

1223
01:04:06,427 --> 01:04:10,987
Speaker 23: Skill potentially drifted a little bit. Yeah, I pushed really

1224
01:04:10,987 --> 01:04:13,507
Speaker 23: hard into the third and I mean I was I

1225
01:04:13,547 --> 01:04:16,507
Speaker 23: was pretty close after that, and then you know, I

1226
01:04:16,587 --> 01:04:19,907
Speaker 23: never I never stopped. I always go from anywhere. And

1227
01:04:19,947 --> 01:04:21,947
Speaker 23: that's probably you know why I fell on the floor,

1228
01:04:22,707 --> 01:04:23,907
Speaker 23: just because I wasn't going to give up and I

1229
01:04:23,907 --> 01:04:24,587
Speaker 23: wasn't going to stop.

1230
01:04:24,947 --> 01:04:27,867
Speaker 17: I was going to keep going until I was wasn'tnother trampoline.

1231
01:04:28,867 --> 01:04:30,987
Speaker 17: So yeah, it sucks. You know, you just want to

1232
01:04:31,027 --> 01:04:33,667
Speaker 17: take it back and have another go. Well, I was

1233
01:04:33,707 --> 01:04:34,507
Speaker 17: feeling really.

1234
01:04:34,267 --> 01:04:37,307
Speaker 23: Good, to be honest, so it's hard to spin point

1235
01:04:37,827 --> 01:04:39,907
Speaker 23: what went wrong, but sometimes these things just happened.

1236
01:04:40,347 --> 01:04:43,627
Speaker 2: And yes, and qualifying, I mean you look you look

1237
01:04:43,667 --> 01:04:45,867
Speaker 2: good well to my untrained eye. And qualifying, did you

1238
01:04:45,907 --> 01:04:48,907
Speaker 2: feel pretty pretty good during qualifying for the final?

1239
01:04:49,707 --> 01:04:52,587
Speaker 17: Yeah, I felt all right, Like it still didn't feel.

1240
01:04:53,907 --> 01:04:55,987
Speaker 23: Probably how I how I wanted to feel, but I

1241
01:04:56,347 --> 01:04:58,067
Speaker 23: did what I needed to do to get into the final.

1242
01:04:58,147 --> 01:05:01,267
Speaker 23: And yeah, put a pretty solid routine.

1243
01:05:01,507 --> 01:05:03,947
Speaker 17: I knew I could have done better, but you know, enough.

1244
01:05:03,787 --> 01:05:04,307
Speaker 8: To get through.

1245
01:05:04,347 --> 01:05:06,867
Speaker 23: And yeah, I was just really hard and the laid

1246
01:05:06,907 --> 01:05:10,547
Speaker 23: out and put it out there in the final. And

1247
01:05:10,707 --> 01:05:12,347
Speaker 23: you know, she sucks because I know I can do

1248
01:05:12,427 --> 01:05:15,587
Speaker 23: more and I know I can do bigger scores. And yes,

1249
01:05:15,667 --> 01:05:17,707
Speaker 23: never how you want to injure Olympic campaign is it?

1250
01:05:17,947 --> 01:05:18,387
Speaker 2: No?

1251
01:05:18,387 --> 01:05:18,587
Speaker 12: No?

1252
01:05:18,987 --> 01:05:21,387
Speaker 2: And I mean you'll probably go through a few emotions.

1253
01:05:21,427 --> 01:05:24,667
Speaker 2: I guess, are you able to feel any pride at

1254
01:05:24,747 --> 01:05:27,747
Speaker 2: making another Olympic final or will that probably have to wait?

1255
01:05:29,027 --> 01:05:32,147
Speaker 23: No, I mean I'm I'm I'm proud of myself, proud

1256
01:05:32,147 --> 01:05:34,347
Speaker 23: of the work I put in, proud of how I

1257
01:05:34,347 --> 01:05:36,107
Speaker 23: handled everything leading up to this.

1258
01:05:37,587 --> 01:05:41,707
Speaker 17: Coach coaches back home, she had to go, so that

1259
01:05:41,787 --> 01:05:43,147
Speaker 17: through a bit of a spinner in the works.

1260
01:05:43,267 --> 01:05:46,187
Speaker 23: But you know, I really think I dealt with it well.

1261
01:05:46,227 --> 01:05:50,227
Speaker 23: And it's not knowing of the reason why everything's going wrong,

1262
01:05:50,267 --> 01:05:52,987
Speaker 23: but it sucks that, you know, I can't she can't

1263
01:05:52,987 --> 01:05:56,547
Speaker 23: be here. I guess to celebrate, I guess all the

1264
01:05:56,587 --> 01:05:59,027
Speaker 23: work we put in, regardless of the results. So yeah,

1265
01:05:59,027 --> 01:06:00,667
Speaker 23: I'm incredibly proud of myself.

1266
01:06:03,307 --> 01:06:04,107
Speaker 5: Yeah, so much.

1267
01:06:04,267 --> 01:06:05,307
Speaker 17: Not much more to it, really.

1268
01:06:06,507 --> 01:06:08,427
Speaker 2: Dellan Schmidt, who I spoke to a couple of hours

1269
01:06:08,467 --> 01:06:11,347
Speaker 2: ago after his fall in the trampoline final, you can

1270
01:06:11,387 --> 01:06:13,227
Speaker 2: just tell at the end there how emotional he was

1271
01:06:13,947 --> 01:06:14,467
Speaker 2: about it.

1272
01:06:14,507 --> 01:06:14,827
Speaker 12: He was.

1273
01:06:15,067 --> 01:06:17,387
Speaker 2: Yeah, spoke to him a week ago in the lead

1274
01:06:17,507 --> 01:06:21,667
Speaker 2: into the trampoline final, and he seemed confidence and he

1275
01:06:21,787 --> 01:06:24,507
Speaker 2: was very together and just at peace with what he

1276
01:06:24,627 --> 01:06:27,107
Speaker 2: was going to do. And I watched him in qualifying

1277
01:06:27,107 --> 01:06:30,387
Speaker 2: and he was really good. I thought, man, he's going

1278
01:06:30,467 --> 01:06:32,547
Speaker 2: to deliver here, he's going to get close to another

1279
01:06:32,987 --> 01:06:37,187
Speaker 2: another podium. And then watching him just fall like that,

1280
01:06:37,227 --> 01:06:40,347
Speaker 2: it was man, I was just gutting. I was just

1281
01:06:40,387 --> 01:06:44,027
Speaker 2: so gutted for the guy. Just awful. And as he

1282
01:06:44,107 --> 01:06:47,187
Speaker 2: was walking away, I thought to myself, exactly what he said.

1283
01:06:47,187 --> 01:06:49,747
Speaker 2: He must just wish he could turn back time and

1284
01:06:49,787 --> 01:06:53,827
Speaker 2: have another crack at it. Unfortunately not to be. Our

1285
01:06:53,867 --> 01:06:58,627
Speaker 2: other trampoline athlete at these games is Maddie Davidson.

1286
01:06:58,787 --> 01:06:58,947
Speaker 24: Now.

1287
01:06:58,987 --> 01:07:03,347
Speaker 2: She finished seventh in the women's trampoline finals. She qualified

1288
01:07:03,347 --> 01:07:06,227
Speaker 2: for the final with a best score of fifty four,

1289
01:07:06,427 --> 01:07:09,067
Speaker 2: went seven to four to oh across her two routines,

1290
01:07:09,107 --> 01:07:12,227
Speaker 2: and then produced a score of fifty four point two

1291
01:07:12,307 --> 01:07:14,867
Speaker 2: three to zero in the final. I spoke also to

1292
01:07:15,187 --> 01:07:18,627
Speaker 2: Medline Davidson shortly after she had competed, and I guess

1293
01:07:18,667 --> 01:07:20,987
Speaker 2: it was a bit of a contrast. I suggested that

1294
01:07:21,027 --> 01:07:24,147
Speaker 2: she'd be pretty happy with making it to an Olympic final.

1295
01:07:24,947 --> 01:07:28,827
Speaker 25: Oh, honestly, I'm so stoked. I knew it was going

1296
01:07:28,907 --> 01:07:30,987
Speaker 25: to be a push to make the finals. There's a

1297
01:07:31,067 --> 01:07:33,787
Speaker 25: really talented group of girls out there, and when you

1298
01:07:33,827 --> 01:07:35,347
Speaker 25: were going to have to hustle. And then when I

1299
01:07:35,427 --> 01:07:37,427
Speaker 25: kind of saw that I had made that top A,

1300
01:07:37,587 --> 01:07:39,507
Speaker 25: I was I was pretty stoked, pretty happy.

1301
01:07:39,787 --> 01:07:42,507
Speaker 2: Tell us about your two routines and qualifying in particular

1302
01:07:42,587 --> 01:07:44,107
Speaker 2: the one that got you into the final.

1303
01:07:44,467 --> 01:07:46,787
Speaker 25: I think one of my main focuses has been my height,

1304
01:07:47,267 --> 01:07:48,747
Speaker 25: So that's always a bit nerve wracking when you know

1305
01:07:48,787 --> 01:07:50,267
Speaker 25: you've got to really push as hard as you can.

1306
01:07:51,147 --> 01:07:53,107
Speaker 14: And that was just what I was really concentrated on today,

1307
01:07:53,107 --> 01:07:54,627
Speaker 14: trying to have nice rhythm, trying to jump.

1308
01:07:54,427 --> 01:07:55,187
Speaker 17: As high as I can.

1309
01:07:55,467 --> 01:07:58,667
Speaker 25: And I actually peebed in my height and every single routine.

1310
01:07:58,387 --> 01:07:59,907
Speaker 14: So can't complain with that.

1311
01:08:00,187 --> 01:08:02,587
Speaker 25: Pretty stoked And yeah, I just you know, felt like

1312
01:08:02,627 --> 01:08:04,427
Speaker 25: I was really connected in with the trampoline today.

1313
01:08:04,707 --> 01:08:05,907
Speaker 17: I just need to get a little bit closer to

1314
01:08:05,907 --> 01:08:06,227
Speaker 17: the cross.

1315
01:08:07,547 --> 01:08:09,827
Speaker 2: Is that the horizontal displacement? Is that the Is that

1316
01:08:09,827 --> 01:08:11,507
Speaker 2: the metric that they talk about when you get close

1317
01:08:11,547 --> 01:08:12,067
Speaker 2: to the cross?

1318
01:08:12,467 --> 01:08:12,707
Speaker 14: Yes?

1319
01:08:12,867 --> 01:08:14,747
Speaker 25: Yeah, And as I've been jumping a bit higher, I've

1320
01:08:14,747 --> 01:08:16,787
Speaker 25: been going a little bit HAYI from that cross, But

1321
01:08:16,827 --> 01:08:19,787
Speaker 25: you know, those things, those things happened, That's all right.

1322
01:08:20,427 --> 01:08:22,347
Speaker 2: How did you feel coming into the Olympic Games? Did

1323
01:08:22,387 --> 01:08:23,187
Speaker 2: you feel confident.

1324
01:08:23,627 --> 01:08:25,547
Speaker 25: To be honest, I had a pretty pretty rocky road

1325
01:08:25,587 --> 01:08:26,467
Speaker 25: coming into the Games.

1326
01:08:27,307 --> 01:08:28,787
Speaker 14: I was carrying a bit of an injury.

1327
01:08:29,267 --> 01:08:31,707
Speaker 25: We had a lot of logistical things kind of go wrong,

1328
01:08:31,827 --> 01:08:33,507
Speaker 25: But you know, I think that's kind of one of

1329
01:08:33,547 --> 01:08:35,467
Speaker 25: the pressing things that you got to then zero in

1330
01:08:35,507 --> 01:08:37,987
Speaker 25: and focus. And I felt every dy as I could

1331
01:08:37,987 --> 01:08:39,827
Speaker 25: have been on the day, and I was just pretty

1332
01:08:39,827 --> 01:08:41,387
Speaker 25: stoked at all the work by coach and I had

1333
01:08:41,427 --> 01:08:43,267
Speaker 25: done was coming together on the floor.

1334
01:08:43,547 --> 01:08:45,427
Speaker 2: What was the injury that you carried in or that

1335
01:08:45,507 --> 01:08:48,187
Speaker 2: you had to had to manage as you as you

1336
01:08:48,267 --> 01:08:49,267
Speaker 2: headed towards Paris.

1337
01:08:50,027 --> 01:08:54,547
Speaker 25: I got a compressed L five vertebrae, which is not

1338
01:08:54,627 --> 01:08:56,787
Speaker 25: the most comfortable is you probably think when you're jumping

1339
01:08:56,787 --> 01:08:58,867
Speaker 25: on a trampoline. But it's just one of the things

1340
01:08:58,867 --> 01:09:01,907
Speaker 25: we had to manage through and you know, push push

1341
01:09:01,947 --> 01:09:03,747
Speaker 25: past us to get to the games. And I had

1342
01:09:03,747 --> 01:09:05,947
Speaker 25: a really great support team around me that was helping

1343
01:09:05,947 --> 01:09:06,307
Speaker 25: me do that.

1344
01:09:06,587 --> 01:09:09,387
Speaker 2: I compressed vertebrae, that sounds that sounds painful when you're

1345
01:09:09,427 --> 01:09:12,107
Speaker 2: doing nothing, let alone jumping on the tramboline. Man, how

1346
01:09:13,747 --> 01:09:16,867
Speaker 2: you know how challenging was it to continue to train

1347
01:09:17,387 --> 01:09:19,067
Speaker 2: and to prepare with that.

1348
01:09:19,347 --> 01:09:20,067
Speaker 14: It's pretty tough.

1349
01:09:20,507 --> 01:09:22,467
Speaker 25: I think it's hard when your body and your brain

1350
01:09:22,547 --> 01:09:26,027
Speaker 25: is tilling you to stop because you're in pain. But

1351
01:09:26,267 --> 01:09:28,227
Speaker 25: like I said, I have an amazing support team, We

1352
01:09:28,227 --> 01:09:30,387
Speaker 25: have great physios, I have an amazing sports site that

1353
01:09:30,467 --> 01:09:32,947
Speaker 25: helped me deal with it because we knew we didn't

1354
01:09:32,947 --> 01:09:34,987
Speaker 25: have long togo and we did everything we could kind

1355
01:09:34,987 --> 01:09:36,827
Speaker 25: of make me as comfort forward as possible. And I

1356
01:09:36,827 --> 01:09:39,107
Speaker 25: think it was a real chance of showing a bit

1357
01:09:39,147 --> 01:09:42,587
Speaker 25: of resilience and you know, pushing through those tough times outstanding.

1358
01:09:42,587 --> 01:09:45,907
Speaker 2: And what about the logistical challenges your face, what did

1359
01:09:45,907 --> 01:09:48,067
Speaker 2: you get not get the right travel plans or something.

1360
01:09:48,467 --> 01:09:49,987
Speaker 20: Oh, I just think it's just one of those things.

1361
01:09:49,987 --> 01:09:52,627
Speaker 25: You know, there's never smooth, never smooth entry. I haven't

1362
01:09:52,627 --> 01:09:54,507
Speaker 25: heard anybody have a smooth entry into the Olympics.

1363
01:09:54,587 --> 01:09:55,747
Speaker 17: So it's just one of those things.

1364
01:09:56,507 --> 01:09:59,147
Speaker 25: You know, probably since January we've been having a couple

1365
01:09:59,147 --> 01:10:00,787
Speaker 25: of huck ups, so but you know, it's just one

1366
01:10:00,787 --> 01:10:02,827
Speaker 25: of those things. Like I said, you know, we're resilient

1367
01:10:02,907 --> 01:10:05,347
Speaker 25: athletes hopefully, and you know we better throw a push

1368
01:10:05,387 --> 01:10:06,227
Speaker 25: through outstanding.

1369
01:10:06,387 --> 01:10:09,707
Speaker 2: So what are we thinking here? Madeline is twenty twenty

1370
01:10:09,747 --> 01:10:12,347
Speaker 2: eight now on your radar. Now that you've made a final,

1371
01:10:13,107 --> 01:10:15,307
Speaker 2: you know you are you keen on another Olympic cycle.

1372
01:10:15,587 --> 01:10:16,267
Speaker 14: Absolutely.

1373
01:10:16,347 --> 01:10:17,867
Speaker 25: I think as soon as you finish, you're like, man,

1374
01:10:17,907 --> 01:10:20,467
Speaker 25: I just want to go again. So definitely, and it

1375
01:10:20,547 --> 01:10:22,747
Speaker 25: was always in my plan, definitely going for twenty twenty eight.

1376
01:10:23,267 --> 01:10:24,987
Speaker 25: I'll just have a bit of a holiday first and

1377
01:10:25,027 --> 01:10:26,867
Speaker 25: have a little bit of a relax and then we'll

1378
01:10:26,867 --> 01:10:28,467
Speaker 25: get back into it again when we get home.

1379
01:10:28,707 --> 01:10:31,787
Speaker 2: Well, congratulations. I love the big smile at the end

1380
01:10:31,787 --> 01:10:34,307
Speaker 2: from you having made the final and perform so well.

1381
01:10:34,347 --> 01:10:36,507
Speaker 2: Everybody back here, very proud Medeline, thanks for taking the

1382
01:10:36,507 --> 01:10:37,187
Speaker 2: time for a chat.

1383
01:10:37,307 --> 01:10:38,267
Speaker 17: No, thank you so much.

1384
01:10:38,467 --> 01:10:41,147
Speaker 2: It's Medaline Davison. So she made an Olympic final for

1385
01:10:41,187 --> 01:10:44,747
Speaker 2: the first time. In an athlete profile on the New

1386
01:10:44,827 --> 01:10:48,987
Speaker 2: Zealand Olympic website and on the app, they ask what

1387
01:10:49,187 --> 01:10:52,747
Speaker 2: you know each of the athlete's ambitions are and Maddie

1388
01:10:52,787 --> 01:10:54,947
Speaker 2: Davidson said, well, it's to make the Olympic final. So

1389
01:10:55,067 --> 01:10:57,947
Speaker 2: chick that box. Now you aim towards twenty twenty eight

1390
01:10:57,947 --> 01:11:01,187
Speaker 2: and go a little bit better. Great question from Paula.

1391
01:11:01,507 --> 01:11:04,947
Speaker 2: What is in the small long packs that are given

1392
01:11:04,987 --> 01:11:08,227
Speaker 2: to each medal winner? Paula Luckily I know this because

1393
01:11:08,347 --> 01:11:11,707
Speaker 2: I myself too was curious about what is in the

1394
01:11:11,707 --> 01:11:13,347
Speaker 2: long box. They get the medal and then they get

1395
01:11:13,347 --> 01:11:15,307
Speaker 2: given this long box. We can tell you what it is.

1396
01:11:17,267 --> 01:11:20,507
Speaker 2: I mean, it's been it's traditional that medalists get given

1397
01:11:20,547 --> 01:11:24,827
Speaker 2: a gift as well as their medals. So at this

1398
01:11:24,867 --> 01:11:30,107
Speaker 2: Olympic Games, every athlete awarded a medal will receive alongside

1399
01:11:30,107 --> 01:11:36,187
Speaker 2: their medal a medalist mascot, together with the game's iconic poster.

1400
01:11:37,267 --> 01:11:42,107
Speaker 2: So it's the poster that is being presented. I'm not

1401
01:11:42,107 --> 01:11:45,707
Speaker 2: making this up. It's true. It's a poster of the mascot,

1402
01:11:45,787 --> 01:11:48,587
Speaker 2: and then they get a little little cuddly toy mascot

1403
01:11:48,587 --> 01:11:50,467
Speaker 2: when they get back to the village, because I don't

1404
01:11:50,467 --> 01:11:51,707
Speaker 2: want to give them too many things to hold on

1405
01:11:51,747 --> 01:11:53,867
Speaker 2: to when they're up there. So that's what the boxes.

1406
01:11:54,347 --> 01:11:58,147
Speaker 2: It's a poster. How many of those posters will get

1407
01:11:58,307 --> 01:12:01,907
Speaker 2: taken home or maybe just left at the Olympic village,

1408
01:12:02,387 --> 01:12:04,187
Speaker 2: but that's what it is. It's a poster. So there

1409
01:12:04,187 --> 01:12:06,507
Speaker 2: you go, Paula, that's the answer, John says, Jay, And

1410
01:12:06,547 --> 01:12:09,427
Speaker 2: both men and women Spanish sides looking good for gold

1411
01:12:09,427 --> 01:12:12,227
Speaker 2: in the football. They certainly are John they certainly are

1412
01:12:12,267 --> 01:12:14,787
Speaker 2: of watch quite a bit of the football. Did you

1413
01:12:14,827 --> 01:12:17,587
Speaker 2: see that game this morning? You might not have caught

1414
01:12:17,587 --> 01:12:21,267
Speaker 2: this France against Argentina in the men's quarter final. France

1415
01:12:21,307 --> 01:12:23,667
Speaker 2: won at one nil. At the final whistle, there's an

1416
01:12:23,747 --> 01:12:28,347
Speaker 2: all in Malay, a complete brawl with everybody coming in.

1417
01:12:28,387 --> 01:12:32,027
Speaker 2: The teams, managers look like there's some fans out there

1418
01:12:32,587 --> 01:12:34,787
Speaker 2: and it all seemed to be, you know, pushing shoved.

1419
01:12:35,107 --> 01:12:38,067
Speaker 2: It's about eighty guys out there pushing and shoving each

1420
01:12:38,067 --> 01:12:40,227
Speaker 2: other around and then it sort of breaks up, and

1421
01:12:40,267 --> 01:12:43,227
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden you see everybody running down

1422
01:12:43,227 --> 01:12:44,987
Speaker 2: the tunnels if there's a bit of a frack are

1423
01:12:45,187 --> 01:12:49,027
Speaker 2: going on down the tunnel as well. France and Argentina

1424
01:12:49,107 --> 01:12:52,827
Speaker 2: not the happiest of football and friends not after the

1425
01:12:52,947 --> 01:12:56,947
Speaker 2: World Cup and Cutter twenty twenty two, some rather questionable

1426
01:12:57,187 --> 01:13:00,187
Speaker 2: songs being sung afterwards by members of the Argentinian support

1427
01:13:00,587 --> 01:13:04,027
Speaker 2: staff anyway, and we won't see what the upshot of

1428
01:13:04,067 --> 01:13:08,187
Speaker 2: that is with the mass brawl after their quarterfinal nineteen

1429
01:13:08,227 --> 01:13:10,307
Speaker 2: to two. Want to find out how they're feeling in Australia.

1430
01:13:10,347 --> 01:13:12,547
Speaker 2: I reckon they'd be feeling pretty darn good, especially about

1431
01:13:12,587 --> 01:13:17,907
Speaker 2: their swimmers, really impressive swimming regatta for the Australian team.

1432
01:13:17,947 --> 01:13:21,507
Speaker 2: Adam Peacock, our Australian correspondent, always joins us about this

1433
01:13:21,547 --> 01:13:24,147
Speaker 2: time on a Saturday today, no exception. He's with us

1434
01:13:24,227 --> 01:13:24,707
Speaker 2: right after this.

1435
01:13:25,427 --> 01:13:28,747
Speaker 1: The biggest Thames in sport are on Weekend.

1436
01:13:28,387 --> 01:13:30,667
Speaker 2: Sport with Jason Pain and GJ.

1437
01:13:30,827 --> 01:13:34,307
Speaker 1: Gunnomes, New Zealand's most trusted home builder News Dogs.

1438
01:13:34,307 --> 01:13:36,787
Speaker 2: They'd be call it to two, Jordan, says Piney. It's

1439
01:13:36,787 --> 01:13:41,307
Speaker 2: actually a cartoon picture of Paris that they're being presented,

1440
01:13:41,387 --> 01:13:44,027
Speaker 2: done by a French artist. It's not a poster of

1441
01:13:44,067 --> 01:13:47,307
Speaker 2: the mascot. Well that's good, Jordan. Everyone loves the corrector,

1442
01:13:47,347 --> 01:13:50,347
Speaker 2: Hi do Jordan. But it's a landscape of Paris, but

1443
01:13:50,947 --> 01:13:54,427
Speaker 2: with a red Eiffel tower etc. So it looks fairly

1444
01:13:54,467 --> 01:13:57,067
Speaker 2: futurama style. It actually brought it up here now that

1445
01:13:57,107 --> 01:13:59,627
Speaker 2: you've mentioned it, Jordan, and you did right. It's it

1446
01:13:59,707 --> 01:14:03,667
Speaker 2: is quite futuristic, Shirley says. Apparently that poster took the

1447
01:14:03,787 --> 01:14:08,267
Speaker 2: artist two thousand hours to create and four months. It's

1448
01:14:08,307 --> 01:14:11,747
Speaker 2: full of symbolism and intricate details. Well, maybe I would

1449
01:14:11,747 --> 01:14:14,107
Speaker 2: take the poster with me, Evan. Maybe I would take

1450
01:14:14,107 --> 01:14:18,307
Speaker 2: it home and hang it up somewhere, because not everybody

1451
01:14:18,347 --> 01:14:20,947
Speaker 2: gets one. Clearly you only get one if you're an

1452
01:14:20,987 --> 01:14:24,547
Speaker 2: Olympic medalist. So maybe maybe you do take it home

1453
01:14:24,587 --> 01:14:30,027
Speaker 2: with you. So that's the mystery solved. A poster Our

1454
01:14:30,027 --> 01:14:33,667
Speaker 2: Australian correspondent as Adam Peacock. Your athletes getting plenty of

1455
01:14:33,747 --> 01:14:37,507
Speaker 2: posters at the moment. Twenty two medals for Australia, thirteen

1456
01:14:37,547 --> 01:14:40,867
Speaker 2: of those in the pool, including seven of your eleven

1457
01:14:40,947 --> 01:14:43,667
Speaker 2: golds in the pool. How are you feeling about this

1458
01:14:43,707 --> 01:14:44,787
Speaker 2: Olympic swim meet?

1459
01:14:45,627 --> 01:14:46,707
Speaker 5: That's pretty boddy good?

1460
01:14:46,707 --> 01:14:47,027
Speaker 9: What are you?

1461
01:14:47,347 --> 01:14:49,507
Speaker 2: I reckon, it's I reckon, it's magnificent.

1462
01:14:50,187 --> 01:14:54,307
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're we're ahead. A lot was made over here

1463
01:14:54,347 --> 01:14:57,507
Speaker 5: in Australia about the rivalry with Australia in USA, and

1464
01:14:57,587 --> 01:15:00,707
Speaker 5: it was probably out of the last Olympic Games where

1465
01:15:00,747 --> 01:15:03,387
Speaker 5: we got close to them that this history there's a

1466
01:15:03,387 --> 01:15:05,587
Speaker 5: little bit that there's a lot of respect that must

1467
01:15:05,587 --> 01:15:08,507
Speaker 5: be said, a lot of admiration for each other, but

1468
01:15:08,547 --> 01:15:12,627
Speaker 5: there's this this growing rivalry that maybe a little brother

1469
01:15:12,707 --> 01:15:14,467
Speaker 5: on this side of the Pacific and knock over the

1470
01:15:14,707 --> 01:15:17,107
Speaker 5: big boys over there in America and girls and at

1471
01:15:17,147 --> 01:15:20,947
Speaker 5: the moment where looking it must be said pretty good

1472
01:15:20,947 --> 01:15:25,787
Speaker 5: because in terms of the pure medals, America's won a

1473
01:15:25,787 --> 01:15:27,947
Speaker 5: lot more. But when it comes to actually winning races

1474
01:15:27,947 --> 01:15:30,627
Speaker 5: and having glorious moments and having the national anthem, we're

1475
01:15:30,667 --> 01:15:33,827
Speaker 5: ahead seven four so with some good chances to come.

1476
01:15:33,947 --> 01:15:37,387
Speaker 5: So yeah, that's that's pretty much dominated headlines over here.

1477
01:15:37,467 --> 01:15:39,627
Speaker 5: But I mean there's a few places to look when

1478
01:15:39,627 --> 01:15:40,547
Speaker 5: it comes to the opics.

1479
01:15:40,667 --> 01:15:44,587
Speaker 2: Absolutely right now. It's there's so much going on. But yeah,

1480
01:15:44,587 --> 01:15:47,067
Speaker 2: I've been watching across the week and you and I

1481
01:15:47,067 --> 01:15:49,627
Speaker 2: spoke a week ago and you said, look, you thought that,

1482
01:15:49,707 --> 01:15:52,787
Speaker 2: you know, the United States resources might mean that they,

1483
01:15:52,907 --> 01:15:54,787
Speaker 2: you know, they would end up on top in terms

1484
01:15:54,787 --> 01:15:58,747
Speaker 2: of overall success in the pool. But you know what

1485
01:15:58,747 --> 01:16:01,867
Speaker 2: what is behind this? You've always been strong in swimming.

1486
01:16:02,187 --> 01:16:03,747
Speaker 2: Is there a bit of a you know, is there

1487
01:16:04,107 --> 01:16:06,267
Speaker 2: a generation of swimmers at the moment who are just

1488
01:16:06,987 --> 01:16:08,067
Speaker 2: really really good.

1489
01:16:08,747 --> 01:16:12,027
Speaker 5: A couple of things. The generation is excellent, and also

1490
01:16:12,307 --> 01:16:14,067
Speaker 5: they change the way they do the trials. So in

1491
01:16:14,107 --> 01:16:16,947
Speaker 5: the previous years and talking to something like who is

1492
01:16:16,987 --> 01:16:20,147
Speaker 5: on with us at stand here? Grant Hackett, he said,

1493
01:16:20,507 --> 01:16:22,427
Speaker 5: back in his day, they used to have the trials

1494
01:16:22,467 --> 01:16:24,747
Speaker 5: like three months removed from the Olympics, so for the

1495
01:16:24,747 --> 01:16:28,347
Speaker 5: swimmers even more. Sometimes it was really hard to get

1496
01:16:28,387 --> 01:16:31,587
Speaker 5: up for the trials, get into the team, ease off

1497
01:16:31,747 --> 01:16:33,987
Speaker 5: and get up again for the Olympics, Whereas this time

1498
01:16:34,867 --> 01:16:37,787
Speaker 5: and for the Tokyo Olympics, they brought them closer together.

1499
01:16:37,827 --> 01:16:39,787
Speaker 5: I think there's only like a five six week gap

1500
01:16:39,827 --> 01:16:43,027
Speaker 5: between the two, so the prep is a lot easier.

1501
01:16:43,507 --> 01:16:45,787
Speaker 5: You don't like, it's like a horse going for a spell.

1502
01:16:46,107 --> 01:16:48,747
Speaker 5: They're not sending the athletes out for a spell. They're

1503
01:16:48,827 --> 01:16:51,347
Speaker 5: keeping them in training and just keeping kicking over and

1504
01:16:51,347 --> 01:16:53,307
Speaker 5: they can hold their form a bit better. So I

1505
01:16:53,307 --> 01:16:54,907
Speaker 5: think that has a huge part to play in it.

1506
01:16:55,107 --> 01:16:58,147
Speaker 2: All Right, So the pool obviously has captured the attention

1507
01:16:58,227 --> 01:17:00,907
Speaker 2: over there. What are the other major storylines that Australian

1508
01:17:00,947 --> 01:17:02,187
Speaker 2: sports fans are talking about?

1509
01:17:03,667 --> 01:17:07,507
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, we've got eleven so far, eleven main storylines

1510
01:17:07,547 --> 01:17:09,387
Speaker 5: and obviously seven of them come out of the ball.

1511
01:17:09,427 --> 01:17:13,827
Speaker 5: But say the Takaka br the BMX rider, she she

1512
01:17:13,947 --> 01:17:17,547
Speaker 5: won a gold this morning. What else have we got?

1513
01:17:17,587 --> 01:17:19,347
Speaker 5: It's it's all a bit of a mask. Jess Fox

1514
01:17:19,427 --> 01:17:21,307
Speaker 5: is a huge story. She's won two gold medal so far.

1515
01:17:21,427 --> 01:17:23,147
Speaker 5: Got a chance in the third in the in the

1516
01:17:23,587 --> 01:17:28,787
Speaker 5: other Canousullam event, which is the kayak cross. And yeah,

1517
01:17:28,827 --> 01:17:32,947
Speaker 5: it's just been watching the athletics start. Obviously Australia is

1518
01:17:32,987 --> 01:17:35,387
Speaker 5: not going to dominate there, but doing well and we're

1519
01:17:35,387 --> 01:17:38,227
Speaker 5: happy for you as well, Piney that you and you're

1520
01:17:38,307 --> 01:17:40,787
Speaker 5: equal with Germany on the medal tally, which should not

1521
01:17:40,827 --> 01:17:43,547
Speaker 5: be happening. But unreal that the Kiwis have had a

1522
01:17:43,547 --> 01:17:44,547
Speaker 5: couple of gold medal well.

1523
01:17:44,867 --> 01:17:46,587
Speaker 2: Can I tell you though, Adam. For a while it

1524
01:17:46,667 --> 01:17:48,827
Speaker 2: was a little bit grim. We didn't get an any

1525
01:17:48,947 --> 01:17:52,947
Speaker 2: for about four days and the storyline was starting to

1526
01:17:52,947 --> 01:17:55,747
Speaker 2: be where is our first metal coming from. We eventually

1527
01:17:55,747 --> 01:17:57,627
Speaker 2: got one in the trithle and then three in the

1528
01:17:57,707 --> 01:17:59,907
Speaker 2: rowing on one day, which was a you know, which

1529
01:17:59,947 --> 01:18:02,787
Speaker 2: was a real boost. But yeah, no, it's it's nice

1530
01:18:02,787 --> 01:18:04,787
Speaker 2: to look at the medal table and and you know,

1531
01:18:04,867 --> 01:18:06,827
Speaker 2: as I told you last week, we love a he cap.

1532
01:18:06,867 --> 01:18:12,667
Speaker 2: It's a middle table over here. It's nice. Yeah, and

1533
01:18:12,987 --> 01:18:16,747
Speaker 2: just yeah, just before you go, Matilda's haven't progressed to

1534
01:18:16,827 --> 01:18:19,107
Speaker 2: the quarterfinals. That's also spelt the end of the reign

1535
01:18:19,187 --> 01:18:22,267
Speaker 2: of Tony Gustaffs and as Matilda's coach, couple of things.

1536
01:18:22,467 --> 01:18:24,787
Speaker 2: What's his legacy and who's going to replace them?

1537
01:18:25,067 --> 01:18:31,067
Speaker 5: Well, the legacy's modeled because it's not okay, everyone pinpoints

1538
01:18:31,067 --> 01:18:33,907
Speaker 5: that World Cup as being about the players, which is fair,

1539
01:18:33,907 --> 01:18:36,827
Speaker 5: but Tony played his part, so he should have some

1540
01:18:36,947 --> 01:18:39,547
Speaker 5: credit passed his way for being able to prepare the

1541
01:18:39,587 --> 01:18:42,147
Speaker 5: team and execute and get through to a World Cup

1542
01:18:42,187 --> 01:18:44,627
Speaker 5: semi vinal. It doesn't happen. It's never happened in Australian

1543
01:18:44,667 --> 01:18:46,707
Speaker 5: football history, so he's got to have a bit of

1544
01:18:46,747 --> 01:18:49,507
Speaker 5: credit there. But around that it feels like something's been

1545
01:18:49,587 --> 01:18:53,867
Speaker 5: left on the table. So he goes with, you know,

1546
01:18:54,987 --> 01:18:57,467
Speaker 5: predominantly good will. A lot of people blaming him tactically

1547
01:18:57,507 --> 01:18:59,467
Speaker 5: and everything like that, but that's football. You get emotional

1548
01:18:59,507 --> 01:19:02,907
Speaker 5: about it. That's fine, but it's like, oh, okay, have

1549
01:19:02,987 --> 01:19:07,627
Speaker 5: we really progressed in a wider sense and what's coming through?

1550
01:19:08,347 --> 01:19:10,227
Speaker 5: The same problem still exists, and now I've got the

1551
01:19:10,227 --> 01:19:12,827
Speaker 5: problem of who's the immediate kind of It's not like

1552
01:19:13,267 --> 01:19:17,427
Speaker 5: he's gone and there's this absolute standout candidate who holds

1553
01:19:17,467 --> 01:19:21,267
Speaker 5: an Australian passport that says, yes, I'm that person to

1554
01:19:20,587 --> 01:19:23,227
Speaker 5: take the role. It doesn't exist at the moment. So

1555
01:19:23,227 --> 01:19:24,387
Speaker 5: they're going to have to go on a bit of

1556
01:19:24,387 --> 01:19:26,587
Speaker 5: a search and a bit of deeper meeting needs to

1557
01:19:26,587 --> 01:19:28,747
Speaker 5: be a bit of deeper thought needs to be put

1558
01:19:28,787 --> 01:19:31,787
Speaker 5: in to the meaning of what football Australia and how

1559
01:19:31,787 --> 01:19:34,547
Speaker 5: it structures the women's football program and football programs in general.

1560
01:19:34,587 --> 01:19:37,107
Speaker 5: Because look, you know you've seen it from your side

1561
01:19:37,107 --> 01:19:41,227
Speaker 5: of the tasment. It's just a continual, existential crisis in

1562
01:19:41,227 --> 01:19:43,867
Speaker 5: Australian football and it continues and this is part of

1563
01:19:43,867 --> 01:19:44,427
Speaker 5: that narrative.

1564
01:19:44,907 --> 01:19:48,547
Speaker 2: So interesting. Well, if you're like me, I don't you

1565
01:19:48,587 --> 01:19:50,107
Speaker 2: don't know whet a. Look when it comes to watching

1566
01:19:50,107 --> 01:19:52,307
Speaker 2: the Olympic Games, you've probably got one of those mosaics

1567
01:19:52,347 --> 01:19:55,227
Speaker 2: up where you're working with sixteen screens and you marvel

1568
01:19:55,267 --> 01:19:58,227
Speaker 2: at the incredible athleticism of so many different athletes. But

1569
01:19:58,267 --> 01:20:00,267
Speaker 2: I know you're a bit short on sleep as am I.

1570
01:20:00,747 --> 01:20:03,187
Speaker 2: So let's call it a day. Here, go and to

1571
01:20:03,267 --> 01:20:05,667
Speaker 2: have some sleep and we'll chat again next Saturday.

1572
01:20:06,787 --> 01:20:09,547
Speaker 5: I'm staying up the surfings around the corner. I think

1573
01:20:09,547 --> 01:20:14,827
Speaker 5: the taekwondo starts the crack sye playing. No, it's the best,

1574
01:20:15,067 --> 01:20:17,427
Speaker 5: it is the best. There's something everywhere you look every

1575
01:20:17,467 --> 01:20:19,627
Speaker 5: ten minutes. So yeah, bring it on, good Man.

1576
01:20:19,827 --> 01:20:22,467
Speaker 2: Speak to you next week. Adam, Thanks Apes, Thanks Bunny.

1577
01:20:22,467 --> 01:20:26,907
Speaker 2: Adam Peacock, our Australian correspondent deeply involved in stand sports

1578
01:20:26,947 --> 01:20:30,147
Speaker 2: coverage of the Olympics on that side of the Ditch

1579
01:20:30,667 --> 01:20:34,427
Speaker 2: and our regular Australian voice every Saturday afternoon here on

1580
01:20:34,587 --> 01:20:36,747
Speaker 2: Weekend Sport eight to two News Talks NB.

1581
01:20:37,667 --> 01:20:39,947
Speaker 1: When it's down to the line, you made a call

1582
01:20:40,107 --> 01:20:44,827
Speaker 1: on eight eighty Weekend Sports with Jason Pine, News.

1583
01:20:44,707 --> 01:20:48,227
Speaker 2: TALKSB five to two. That post is a very special,

1584
01:20:48,267 --> 01:20:51,427
Speaker 2: limited edition print, says this text, trying to get yourself one,

1585
01:20:51,467 --> 01:20:53,107
Speaker 2: good luck. I don't think I'll be able to get

1586
01:20:53,147 --> 01:20:55,507
Speaker 2: myself one. Feels like they're only passing them out to

1587
01:20:55,547 --> 01:20:58,947
Speaker 2: the medallists, so yeah, maybe you know, limited edition, so

1588
01:20:59,227 --> 01:21:00,947
Speaker 2: they are a bit special. I didn't mean to play

1589
01:21:00,987 --> 01:21:03,947
Speaker 2: them down. I'm sorry. It does feel all a bit

1590
01:21:03,987 --> 01:21:06,827
Speaker 2: odd though, giving somebody a poster until deal a bit

1591
01:21:06,867 --> 01:21:10,067
Speaker 2: deeper as we have and find out that it's actually

1592
01:21:10,147 --> 01:21:12,587
Speaker 2: something pretty special. Could you tell me who won the

1593
01:21:12,587 --> 01:21:16,507
Speaker 2: ten thousand meters? I can Joshua chapter Go was the

1594
01:21:16,547 --> 01:21:20,107
Speaker 2: winner of the ten thousand meters, the world record holder.

1595
01:21:21,147 --> 01:21:23,947
Speaker 2: He was. I think the Olympic champion or was he

1596
01:21:24,187 --> 01:21:27,707
Speaker 2: the Olympic champion of five thousand meters five thousand meters

1597
01:21:28,107 --> 01:21:30,667
Speaker 2: defending champion? He was second in the ten thousand meters

1598
01:21:30,707 --> 01:21:33,667
Speaker 2: in Tokyo. He's won the last two world championships, so

1599
01:21:33,707 --> 01:21:37,347
Speaker 2: he's got a pretty decent pedigree. In the ten thousand meters,

1600
01:21:37,387 --> 01:21:41,547
Speaker 2: has our friend Joshua cheap to go? He broke the

1601
01:21:41,547 --> 01:21:44,347
Speaker 2: Olympic record, not his world record of twenty six to

1602
01:21:44,347 --> 01:21:47,427
Speaker 2: eleven flat. He ran twenty six forty three to one four,

1603
01:21:47,507 --> 01:21:49,827
Speaker 2: but was chased all the way only won up by

1604
01:21:49,827 --> 01:21:52,227
Speaker 2: three tenths of a second, So that was the story.

1605
01:21:52,267 --> 01:21:56,147
Speaker 2: In the ten thousand meters, it's a frameable print, not

1606
01:21:56,267 --> 01:21:59,827
Speaker 2: a poster. Okay, we're finding out more and more about

1607
01:21:59,867 --> 01:22:02,587
Speaker 2: these gifts. I guess they can't give you the frame,

1608
01:22:02,667 --> 01:22:05,027
Speaker 2: can they. You've got to get at home. So yeah,

1609
01:22:05,027 --> 01:22:08,187
Speaker 2: in a box. I guess every posters, but every poster

1610
01:22:08,347 --> 01:22:12,507
Speaker 2: is a frameable print, isn't it. Anyway. I didn't really

1611
01:22:12,547 --> 01:22:14,947
Speaker 2: want to go down this rabbit hole. I'm just pleased

1612
01:22:14,987 --> 01:22:17,347
Speaker 2: we all know now what's in the box. After two

1613
01:22:18,027 --> 01:22:25,227
Speaker 2: the Warriors we're in it's mathematically possible territory now after

1614
01:22:25,227 --> 01:22:27,547
Speaker 2: their loss to the Paramount Eels last night. I want

1615
01:22:27,547 --> 01:22:30,987
Speaker 2: to talk to Brad Walter from NRL dot com about this.

1616
01:22:31,147 --> 01:22:33,187
Speaker 2: He's seen a lot of rugby league. What is he

1617
01:22:33,267 --> 01:22:36,467
Speaker 2: seeing here? What's going wrong with this team? And Hope

1618
01:22:36,507 --> 01:22:39,307
Speaker 2: by Poor our number one darts player, head of the

1619
01:22:39,347 --> 01:22:40,467
Speaker 2: Hamilton Darts Masters.

1620
01:22:41,427 --> 01:22:45,707
Speaker 1: The only place for the big names, the big issues,

1621
01:22:46,387 --> 01:22:51,347
Speaker 1: the big controversies and the big conversations. It's all on

1622
01:22:51,427 --> 01:22:55,947
Speaker 1: Weekend Sport with Jason Vime on your home of Sport News.

1623
01:22:55,987 --> 01:23:00,347
Speaker 2: Talks had been well are we to seven? Welcome in

1624
01:23:00,467 --> 01:23:03,627
Speaker 2: to Weekend Sport an hour of us and then Tim

1625
01:23:03,667 --> 01:23:07,747
Speaker 2: Beverage in the chair for the Saturday edition of the

1626
01:23:07,787 --> 01:23:08,947
Speaker 2: Weekend Collective.

1627
01:23:09,987 --> 01:23:10,427
Speaker 12: This out.

1628
01:23:11,027 --> 01:23:14,427
Speaker 2: I want to talk some darts with you. Well, actually

1629
01:23:14,707 --> 01:23:16,707
Speaker 2: I want to talk some darts with Hope by Polhart.

1630
01:23:17,227 --> 01:23:20,107
Speaker 2: He is our number one darts player. Back for the

1631
01:23:20,107 --> 01:23:23,347
Speaker 2: Hamilton Dance Masters in a couple of weeks, but he

1632
01:23:23,387 --> 01:23:26,067
Speaker 2: spent most of this year on the other side of

1633
01:23:26,107 --> 01:23:30,067
Speaker 2: the world because he won a tour card. You might

1634
01:23:30,107 --> 01:23:32,667
Speaker 2: remember we spoke to Hope Poor has shortly after he

1635
01:23:32,787 --> 01:23:35,627
Speaker 2: won his tour card and talked about the opportunities that

1636
01:23:35,707 --> 01:23:37,627
Speaker 2: might open up for him. How have the first six

1637
01:23:37,667 --> 01:23:39,587
Speaker 2: months of the year gone with that tour card tucked

1638
01:23:39,627 --> 01:23:42,907
Speaker 2: into his back pocket and is the odds on to

1639
01:23:42,947 --> 01:23:45,627
Speaker 2: retain it. So I hope by Pool has with us.

1640
01:23:45,747 --> 01:23:49,307
Speaker 2: I want to talk some Warriors shortly as well, Leon

1641
01:23:49,387 --> 01:23:52,147
Speaker 2: and email Piney always enjoyed listening to Adam Peacock, just

1642
01:23:52,187 --> 01:23:55,067
Speaker 2: wanted to address something he forgot to mention, probably by accident.

1643
01:23:55,867 --> 01:23:58,907
Speaker 2: If you remember, the Australian women's sevens team won the

1644
01:23:58,907 --> 01:24:02,427
Speaker 2: final circuit tournament in Spain and leading up to the

1645
01:24:02,427 --> 01:24:05,307
Speaker 2: Paris Games were hot co favorites with New Zealand to win,

1646
01:24:05,547 --> 01:24:07,787
Speaker 2: but they were tipped by Canada and the Semis and

1647
01:24:07,827 --> 01:24:10,667
Speaker 2: even worse, lost to the US and the bronze medal match.

1648
01:24:11,067 --> 01:24:15,187
Speaker 2: They were overhyped here across all media platforms. Leon lives

1649
01:24:15,187 --> 01:24:18,787
Speaker 2: in Australia and were considered a showIn for gold. But

1650
01:24:18,867 --> 01:24:22,707
Speaker 2: as we saw our women epitomized teamwork and heart to

1651
01:24:22,787 --> 01:24:25,947
Speaker 2: stand atop the podium once again. I strongly suggest your

1652
01:24:25,947 --> 01:24:28,947
Speaker 2: listeners watch the recent doco series a couple of episodes

1653
01:24:29,387 --> 01:24:35,347
Speaker 2: of Sarah Hidane's Relentless, which encapsulates everything our black Ferns

1654
01:24:35,387 --> 01:24:38,507
Speaker 2: are about, really moving and inspiring. Thanks Leon, always love

1655
01:24:38,547 --> 01:24:42,707
Speaker 2: getting your emails mate. Thanks indeed, the Warriors top eight hopes.

1656
01:24:42,787 --> 01:24:44,867
Speaker 2: I actually, before we move on, if you're wondering about

1657
01:24:44,907 --> 01:24:47,907
Speaker 2: in Cash, you missed it. Just a breakdown in communication.

1658
01:24:48,107 --> 01:24:50,107
Speaker 2: I thought Bevan was doing it. Bevan thought I was

1659
01:24:50,147 --> 01:24:53,387
Speaker 2: doing it. Andy McDonald normally does it. He's not here today.

1660
01:24:53,667 --> 01:24:57,107
Speaker 2: In the end, nobody did it. So we haven't got

1661
01:24:57,147 --> 01:25:00,387
Speaker 2: that feature for you today. But Andy's back tomorrow, I

1662
01:25:00,427 --> 01:25:03,347
Speaker 2: think so maybe we'll bring in Cashia missed it back,

1663
01:25:03,427 --> 01:25:07,867
Speaker 2: or maybe the show is better without it, don't We'll

1664
01:25:07,867 --> 01:25:11,387
Speaker 2: give it the overnight test how we feel tomorrow. The

1665
01:25:11,427 --> 01:25:14,307
Speaker 2: Warriors top eight hopes in the NRL starting to slip

1666
01:25:14,307 --> 01:25:18,707
Speaker 2: away after a thirty twenty loss to the Eels at

1667
01:25:18,707 --> 01:25:21,787
Speaker 2: Mount Smart last night. The Eels led eighteen to four

1668
01:25:21,947 --> 01:25:25,387
Speaker 2: at halftime. They extended that out to thirty points to

1669
01:25:25,467 --> 01:25:28,387
Speaker 2: four with fifteen minutes to go. It was only three

1670
01:25:28,587 --> 01:25:32,067
Speaker 2: late tries to the Warriors that closed the score line

1671
01:25:32,187 --> 01:25:36,387
Speaker 2: up experienced a Rugbia league journo for NRL dot Com,

1672
01:25:36,387 --> 01:25:41,187
Speaker 2: Brad Walter joins us, Brad, what's happened to the Warriors?

1673
01:25:42,747 --> 01:25:47,267
Speaker 24: Look, Jason, they're just being inconsistent all season. Unfortunately, when

1674
01:25:47,267 --> 01:25:49,987
Speaker 24: you think they're going to win, they don't. And when

1675
01:25:50,027 --> 01:25:52,547
Speaker 24: you maybe think that they're up against it, they managed

1676
01:25:52,587 --> 01:25:57,147
Speaker 24: to dig deep and pull something out of the fire.

1677
01:25:58,187 --> 01:25:58,667
Speaker 2: Last night.

1678
01:25:59,147 --> 01:26:01,547
Speaker 24: Wind would have put them in a reasonably comfortable position

1679
01:26:01,907 --> 01:26:05,987
Speaker 24: to buy in hand, but they're probably now they're probably

1680
01:26:05,987 --> 01:26:09,947
Speaker 24: now fa seeing the situation where they need to win

1681
01:26:10,587 --> 01:26:14,307
Speaker 24: their four remaining games and with the buy that they're

1682
01:26:14,347 --> 01:26:16,827
Speaker 24: they're still in top eight contention. But if they don't

1683
01:26:16,827 --> 01:26:20,347
Speaker 24: win those four remaining games, their fate is likely to

1684
01:26:20,347 --> 01:26:23,667
Speaker 24: be in the hands of other teams. And it's pretty

1685
01:26:23,667 --> 01:26:27,187
Speaker 24: congested in that sort of in the middle of the

1686
01:26:27,227 --> 01:26:29,667
Speaker 24: table where where where they're they're sitting at the moment.

1687
01:26:29,787 --> 01:26:33,747
Speaker 24: So that's to lose to the Eels, you know, the

1688
01:26:33,747 --> 01:26:35,947
Speaker 24: Eels are basically in a wooden spoon battle with the

1689
01:26:35,987 --> 01:26:39,387
Speaker 24: West Tigers. That may have may have saved the Eels

1690
01:26:39,387 --> 01:26:43,027
Speaker 24: from from winning the wooden spoon, but but yeah, it's

1691
01:26:43,107 --> 01:26:45,667
Speaker 24: it's certainly put a dent into the Warriors finals hopes.

1692
01:26:46,147 --> 01:26:49,187
Speaker 2: What is causing this inconsistency? Is there anything you can

1693
01:26:49,227 --> 01:26:53,267
Speaker 2: put your finger on that isn't going as it should not?

1694
01:26:53,307 --> 01:26:53,507
Speaker 12: Really?

1695
01:26:53,587 --> 01:26:55,907
Speaker 24: I mean I look at the side and it's a

1696
01:26:56,067 --> 01:26:58,467
Speaker 24: it's a it's a great team that the Warriors have gotten.

1697
01:26:59,627 --> 01:27:02,587
Speaker 24: You know, there's a lot of individual players that put

1698
01:27:02,627 --> 01:27:07,827
Speaker 24: their hands up, you know, perform well most weeks. Yeah,

1699
01:27:08,667 --> 01:27:10,667
Speaker 24: it is, I'm not know, it's hard to put your

1700
01:27:10,707 --> 01:27:12,947
Speaker 24: finger on. And look, there's been a lot of chopping

1701
01:27:12,987 --> 01:27:16,107
Speaker 24: and changing for various reasons, but you know, mainly due

1702
01:27:16,147 --> 01:27:18,107
Speaker 24: to injury. It's been a lot of chopping and changing,

1703
01:27:18,907 --> 01:27:21,227
Speaker 24: you know, in the in the key positions, in the halves.

1704
01:27:22,147 --> 01:27:26,307
Speaker 24: Uh a fallback as well, you know, So look, I

1705
01:27:26,307 --> 01:27:29,227
Speaker 24: don't know if that's a factor. You know, Shawan Johnson

1706
01:27:29,307 --> 01:27:33,187
Speaker 24: was back last night after a layoff. He's he's had

1707
01:27:33,227 --> 01:27:37,907
Speaker 24: an injury prone season. I think it's really it's sort

1708
01:27:37,907 --> 01:27:40,347
Speaker 24: of you know, I feel unfair, I suppose for one

1709
01:27:40,387 --> 01:27:42,267
Speaker 24: of a better word, but it seems like every time

1710
01:27:42,307 --> 01:27:44,187
Speaker 24: Sean comes back into the team now, because he's been

1711
01:27:44,227 --> 01:27:46,027
Speaker 24: out for a while, he doesn't have any time to

1712
01:27:46,027 --> 01:27:47,907
Speaker 24: find his feet. He's got to be straight in and

1713
01:27:48,027 --> 01:27:50,827
Speaker 24: you know he's playing in these games where you know

1714
01:27:50,827 --> 01:27:53,827
Speaker 24: they're expected to win, they need to win. He's obviously

1715
01:27:53,867 --> 01:27:57,467
Speaker 24: the club's first choice half back. But yeah, you know,

1716
01:27:57,547 --> 01:27:59,627
Speaker 24: like he said, he just came straight back into the

1717
01:27:59,627 --> 01:28:01,707
Speaker 24: team last night and they're on the they're on the

1718
01:28:01,707 --> 01:28:05,067
Speaker 24: back foot, it's and now they're in a in a

1719
01:28:05,107 --> 01:28:08,147
Speaker 24: situation where they're gonna win when all of their remaining games.

1720
01:28:08,147 --> 01:28:10,507
Speaker 24: It's it's pretty tough, I think when when you're a

1721
01:28:10,587 --> 01:28:13,867
Speaker 24: key playmaker, you know, and the key playmakers in the

1722
01:28:13,907 --> 01:28:16,907
Speaker 24: team have been you know, in and out on a

1723
01:28:17,067 --> 01:28:19,027
Speaker 24: on a regular basis, it's just really hard to get

1724
01:28:19,027 --> 01:28:22,147
Speaker 24: that consistency amongst amongst the playing squad.

1725
01:28:22,747 --> 01:28:27,307
Speaker 2: Do you believe in second season syndrome for coaches? And

1726
01:28:27,427 --> 01:28:29,267
Speaker 2: is that what this is for Andrew Webster?

1727
01:28:30,867 --> 01:28:31,187
Speaker 12: Oh?

1728
01:28:31,227 --> 01:28:33,227
Speaker 24: Look, I don't know if I believe in it, but

1729
01:28:34,027 --> 01:28:37,227
Speaker 24: you know, like we have seen do with teams with players,

1730
01:28:38,227 --> 01:28:40,107
Speaker 24: you know, so I suppose it can happen with coaches

1731
01:28:40,147 --> 01:28:43,627
Speaker 24: as well. Look, Andrew Webster is a very you know,

1732
01:28:44,067 --> 01:28:48,627
Speaker 24: meticulous coach. He's very well, highly regarded. He's been coaching

1733
01:28:48,627 --> 01:28:50,027
Speaker 24: for a long time. You might not have been a

1734
01:28:50,067 --> 01:28:54,867
Speaker 24: head coach until last year. Like, you know, things worked well,

1735
01:28:54,947 --> 01:29:00,187
Speaker 24: the Warriors performed exceeded expectations last year. Then the expectations

1736
01:29:00,187 --> 01:29:03,947
Speaker 24: have obviously risen this year and maybe they haven't lived

1737
01:29:04,027 --> 01:29:06,227
Speaker 24: up to them as well.

1738
01:29:07,387 --> 01:29:07,827
Speaker 5: I don't know.

1739
01:29:07,867 --> 01:29:10,827
Speaker 24: Look, I think Andrew Webster's doing doing a terrific job there.

1740
01:29:10,867 --> 01:29:13,027
Speaker 24: I don't think he's got complacent or I don't think

1741
01:29:13,067 --> 01:29:16,467
Speaker 24: he's you know, I think he's still reading the game.

1742
01:29:17,067 --> 01:29:20,027
Speaker 24: I heard his comments afterwards. He was obviously disappointed with

1743
01:29:20,027 --> 01:29:23,587
Speaker 24: the way they played. And let's let's not gloss over it.

1744
01:29:23,587 --> 01:29:26,587
Speaker 24: It was thirty to four with you know, about ten

1745
01:29:26,627 --> 01:29:28,147
Speaker 24: minutes to go, and the Eel's got to play a

1746
01:29:28,187 --> 01:29:30,027
Speaker 24: cent in the sin to the sin bin, and the

1747
01:29:30,067 --> 01:29:33,467
Speaker 24: Warriors scored some late tries to make the score look respectable.

1748
01:29:34,107 --> 01:29:37,027
Speaker 24: They were, like, clearly they were outplayed and as their

1749
01:29:37,027 --> 01:29:40,427
Speaker 24: defense was their issue obviously when you conceived thirty points,

1750
01:29:40,467 --> 01:29:42,627
Speaker 24: defense is the issue. But the Eels were punching holes

1751
01:29:42,627 --> 01:29:46,067
Speaker 24: in them on the on the edges, you know, consistently

1752
01:29:46,107 --> 01:29:49,667
Speaker 24: all night long, blazed a lungey. Dylan Brown had a

1753
01:29:49,667 --> 01:29:50,307
Speaker 24: great game.

1754
01:29:51,307 --> 01:29:51,867
Speaker 12: Yeah, it was.

1755
01:29:52,387 --> 01:29:55,587
Speaker 24: You know, they've got some defensive issues that they really

1756
01:29:55,627 --> 01:29:57,267
Speaker 24: need to sort out. And I suppose some of that

1757
01:29:57,307 --> 01:29:59,947
Speaker 24: comes down to attitude as well. And you know, look

1758
01:29:59,987 --> 01:30:02,467
Speaker 24: at what I thought was good. What Andrews said was

1759
01:30:02,507 --> 01:30:06,107
Speaker 24: that he's looking forward to the next he's looking forward

1760
01:30:06,107 --> 01:30:09,707
Speaker 24: to the sponsor, the players and how they respond. You know,

1761
01:30:09,747 --> 01:30:12,147
Speaker 24: they're still in the season is not over. They're still

1762
01:30:12,187 --> 01:30:14,467
Speaker 24: in with a chance. It's really down to them now,

1763
01:30:14,467 --> 01:30:17,627
Speaker 24: and that's probably going to determine not just whether the

1764
01:30:17,627 --> 01:30:20,627
Speaker 24: Warriors make the top eight, but probably the futures of

1765
01:30:21,547 --> 01:30:23,947
Speaker 24: some players at the club. You would think, because you know,

1766
01:30:24,187 --> 01:30:25,707
Speaker 24: this is a test of character, now.

1767
01:30:25,987 --> 01:30:29,227
Speaker 2: Should an attitude be a non negotiable for a professional

1768
01:30:29,307 --> 01:30:29,987
Speaker 2: sports person?

1769
01:30:30,587 --> 01:30:32,107
Speaker 24: Well, look it is, But I mean this is such

1770
01:30:32,107 --> 01:30:38,547
Speaker 24: a even competition. You know, we see upsets every week,

1771
01:30:38,587 --> 01:30:43,507
Speaker 24: we see close games, we see unexpected results. You know,

1772
01:30:43,587 --> 01:30:45,947
Speaker 24: teams that are down to twelve men as the West

1773
01:30:45,987 --> 01:30:48,427
Speaker 24: Tigers we were against the Cowboys the other night. Really,

1774
01:30:48,507 --> 01:30:51,227
Speaker 24: you know, have a dig and almost snatch a win.

1775
01:30:52,147 --> 01:30:54,667
Speaker 24: I think, you know, like in such a you know,

1776
01:30:54,827 --> 01:30:59,307
Speaker 24: in such a I suppose elite and highly competitive competition

1777
01:30:59,347 --> 01:31:01,827
Speaker 24: where you know, basically every team is a chance of

1778
01:31:01,907 --> 01:31:05,787
Speaker 24: beating the other on their day. Then it's only we're

1779
01:31:05,827 --> 01:31:09,747
Speaker 24: only talking like you know, one or two percent, you know,

1780
01:31:09,907 --> 01:31:13,507
Speaker 24: drop off or lift or you know, even things maybe

1781
01:31:13,547 --> 01:31:15,667
Speaker 24: not go and people's go on the you know the

1782
01:31:16,187 --> 01:31:19,107
Speaker 24: way that the bounce of the ball basically, but when

1783
01:31:19,507 --> 01:31:22,587
Speaker 24: we're not talking about a massive shift in attitude or

1784
01:31:22,907 --> 01:31:26,067
Speaker 24: or intensity or whatever, we're talking about small degrees, but

1785
01:31:26,347 --> 01:31:28,907
Speaker 24: those small degrees can make the difference, you know, and

1786
01:31:29,227 --> 01:31:31,547
Speaker 24: if one team's up and and the other team's not

1787
01:31:31,627 --> 01:31:35,107
Speaker 24: as not completely on their game, you know, the team

1788
01:31:35,107 --> 01:31:37,587
Speaker 24: that's up will usually will win. You know when it

1789
01:31:38,187 --> 01:31:40,187
Speaker 24: can vary from week to week. It can be down

1790
01:31:40,227 --> 01:31:42,467
Speaker 24: to travel, it can be playing at home, it can

1791
01:31:42,507 --> 01:31:45,547
Speaker 24: be there can be a you know, a variety of reasons.

1792
01:31:45,547 --> 01:31:47,867
Speaker 24: It can be playing the bottom of the table team

1793
01:31:47,987 --> 01:31:51,187
Speaker 24: that mean maybe somebody is a little bit complacent, or

1794
01:31:51,507 --> 01:31:53,867
Speaker 24: do you think they're going to win or you know

1795
01:31:53,907 --> 01:31:56,427
Speaker 24: they're thinking ahead or I don't know, but there's you know,

1796
01:31:56,467 --> 01:31:58,587
Speaker 24: there's a lot of factors. But all I'm saying is

1797
01:31:58,907 --> 01:32:02,107
Speaker 24: it doesn't it doesn't take much to swing a game

1798
01:32:02,427 --> 01:32:03,867
Speaker 24: one way or another. And it doesn't mean that people

1799
01:32:03,867 --> 01:32:06,227
Speaker 24: have got bad attitudes or whatever. It just means that,

1800
01:32:06,627 --> 01:32:10,027
Speaker 24: you know, maybe I don't know, they just weren't. You know,

1801
01:32:10,107 --> 01:32:13,667
Speaker 24: sometimes when the teams are desperately, you know, they can

1802
01:32:14,347 --> 01:32:17,587
Speaker 24: lift that little bit a little bit more, and you know,

1803
01:32:17,627 --> 01:32:19,347
Speaker 24: maybe that was one of those games last night, and

1804
01:32:19,347 --> 01:32:21,587
Speaker 24: maybe Nick, what we're going to see going forward is

1805
01:32:21,867 --> 01:32:24,667
Speaker 24: the Warriors in our position where they just have to

1806
01:32:24,707 --> 01:32:26,787
Speaker 24: turn up at their best every week.

1807
01:32:27,267 --> 01:32:29,507
Speaker 2: So four games to go, all four of them against

1808
01:32:29,587 --> 01:32:33,027
Speaker 2: teams currently inside the top eight. Only one of those

1809
01:32:33,067 --> 01:32:35,787
Speaker 2: games against the Bulldogs, and round twenty five is at home.

1810
01:32:36,987 --> 01:32:38,707
Speaker 2: Can you see them winning all four?

1811
01:32:39,427 --> 01:32:41,067
Speaker 24: Well, what I can see is if they do win

1812
01:32:41,107 --> 01:32:42,627
Speaker 24: all four, they're going to go into the finals in

1813
01:32:42,667 --> 01:32:45,507
Speaker 24: a really strong position because the opposition that they're playing

1814
01:32:45,587 --> 01:32:49,947
Speaker 24: is a finals contenders as well. And if they win

1815
01:32:49,987 --> 01:32:51,507
Speaker 24: those four games, and then they're going to hit the

1816
01:32:51,507 --> 01:32:55,067
Speaker 24: finals in firstly in good form and obviously full of

1817
01:32:55,147 --> 01:32:59,427
Speaker 24: confidence as well. But can I see? Look, it's going

1818
01:32:59,467 --> 01:33:01,027
Speaker 24: to be a tough ask, isn't it. I Winning four

1819
01:33:01,027 --> 01:33:03,707
Speaker 24: games in a row in the NRL doesn't happen that often.

1820
01:33:04,547 --> 01:33:07,587
Speaker 24: You know, can they afford to maybe not win four? Possibly?

1821
01:33:07,707 --> 01:33:09,787
Speaker 24: You know they're going to buy, as said, so there's

1822
01:33:09,787 --> 01:33:11,587
Speaker 24: really five games to go, but they've got to buy

1823
01:33:11,707 --> 01:33:14,947
Speaker 24: let's guarantee two points, so you put that down to win.

1824
01:33:15,147 --> 01:33:17,787
Speaker 24: I imagine if they three out of four, they might

1825
01:33:17,827 --> 01:33:19,947
Speaker 24: be all right, you know, I think they've got to

1826
01:33:19,987 --> 01:33:22,627
Speaker 24: I think that's going to be the you know, the

1827
01:33:22,907 --> 01:33:25,227
Speaker 24: minimum that they're going to need to win. But but

1828
01:33:25,267 --> 01:33:26,587
Speaker 24: I think the main thing is they're just going to

1829
01:33:26,627 --> 01:33:29,027
Speaker 24: get out there and win next week and then and

1830
01:33:29,067 --> 01:33:31,907
Speaker 24: try and and and as Yeah, like if they can,

1831
01:33:32,147 --> 01:33:33,987
Speaker 24: if they can win, there's no reason they can't. They've

1832
01:33:33,987 --> 01:33:37,707
Speaker 24: definitely got the roster, they've got the playing talent to

1833
01:33:38,027 --> 01:33:38,987
Speaker 24: be able to do that.

1834
01:33:39,107 --> 01:33:39,547
Speaker 16: There.

1835
01:33:39,587 --> 01:33:41,627
Speaker 24: You know, they've got great support on both sides of

1836
01:33:41,627 --> 01:33:43,947
Speaker 24: the tasmum, So I don't think it's going to matter.

1837
01:33:43,987 --> 01:33:45,907
Speaker 24: I think it might actually help them to be playing

1838
01:33:45,907 --> 01:33:48,787
Speaker 24: those games away. You know, they'll come across, their focus

1839
01:33:48,827 --> 01:33:50,907
Speaker 24: will be one hundred percent on the task at hand.

1840
01:33:52,067 --> 01:33:55,867
Speaker 24: You know, they'll go going to the travel can can

1841
01:33:55,947 --> 01:33:58,747
Speaker 24: help sometimes, So yeah, look, there's no doubt they can

1842
01:33:58,787 --> 01:34:01,267
Speaker 24: do it. I think they're better than some of the

1843
01:34:01,307 --> 01:34:05,107
Speaker 24: teams that are. You know, they're potentially buying with the

1844
01:34:05,147 --> 01:34:07,867
Speaker 24: spots in the in the bottom half of the top eight.

1845
01:34:07,987 --> 01:34:10,347
Speaker 24: So here, if they turn up and they play to

1846
01:34:10,387 --> 01:34:12,867
Speaker 24: the best of their ability, and you know, been luck

1847
01:34:12,907 --> 01:34:15,347
Speaker 24: goes your way as well, I've got no doubt they'll

1848
01:34:15,347 --> 01:34:17,227
Speaker 24: be there. And if they are there, they're going to.

1849
01:34:17,147 --> 01:34:18,147
Speaker 5: Be dangerous, all right.

1850
01:34:18,187 --> 01:34:20,307
Speaker 2: And just to finish, Brad, if we zoom out from

1851
01:34:20,307 --> 01:34:23,107
Speaker 2: this and head to the top of the table and

1852
01:34:23,187 --> 01:34:25,547
Speaker 2: see Melbourne Storm sitting there, which is not an unusual

1853
01:34:25,627 --> 01:34:27,947
Speaker 2: thing to see. Of course, is everybody chasing the storm

1854
01:34:27,987 --> 01:34:28,827
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four?

1855
01:34:29,987 --> 01:34:33,467
Speaker 24: Oh, I think I think that the storm and the Panthers,

1856
01:34:33,547 --> 01:34:37,147
Speaker 24: I mean the storm. The storm has just been consistent

1857
01:34:37,187 --> 01:34:41,947
Speaker 24: all year long. You know, look, they're probably they're remarkable,

1858
01:34:41,947 --> 01:34:44,667
Speaker 24: aren't they. There they've had you know, Munster's been out

1859
01:34:44,667 --> 01:34:47,507
Speaker 24: for a long period. Jerome Hughes has missed a lot

1860
01:34:47,507 --> 01:34:49,667
Speaker 24: of football as well, so they've often played without there.

1861
01:34:50,067 --> 01:34:54,627
Speaker 24: They're they're leading playmakers with either or both of them out.

1862
01:34:54,907 --> 01:34:58,827
Speaker 24: Pappenhausen's missed a lot of football. Fords don't seem to

1863
01:34:58,827 --> 01:35:01,227
Speaker 24: be you know, on paper, aren't the sort of team

1864
01:35:01,267 --> 01:35:04,347
Speaker 24: that we're packed that they've had in previous seasons.

1865
01:35:04,347 --> 01:35:07,227
Speaker 8: But consistence, instantly.

1866
01:35:06,827 --> 01:35:09,147
Speaker 24: They just turn up, you know, ready to play. I

1867
01:35:09,187 --> 01:35:11,347
Speaker 24: suppose it is that mental attitude that we were talking

1868
01:35:11,347 --> 01:35:13,787
Speaker 24: about before. But every week turn up and no matter

1869
01:35:13,827 --> 01:35:16,707
Speaker 24: who's in their team, have a crack and they know

1870
01:35:16,827 --> 01:35:17,267
Speaker 24: how to win.

1871
01:35:17,307 --> 01:35:17,627
Speaker 11: They win.

1872
01:35:17,667 --> 01:35:21,987
Speaker 24: They win the close games more often than not. There's

1873
01:35:22,027 --> 01:35:25,987
Speaker 24: no doubt that in finals footy, it's going to take

1874
01:35:26,027 --> 01:35:29,027
Speaker 24: a really good performance to beat them. It's going to

1875
01:35:29,067 --> 01:35:31,067
Speaker 24: take a good team to beat them. But I still

1876
01:35:31,107 --> 01:35:35,467
Speaker 24: think the Penrith Panthers, you know they're they Yeah, I

1877
01:35:35,467 --> 01:35:37,267
Speaker 24: think they're the best team in the in the competition

1878
01:35:37,347 --> 01:35:39,227
Speaker 24: and they know how to win as well, as it's

1879
01:35:39,267 --> 01:35:42,307
Speaker 24: been proven by three three premierships. They've got a lot

1880
01:35:42,347 --> 01:35:44,907
Speaker 24: to play for. They get the players leaving at the

1881
01:35:44,987 --> 01:35:47,387
Speaker 24: end of the season, but they also they've sort of

1882
01:35:47,427 --> 01:35:49,947
Speaker 24: got to where they are without having you know, Nathan

1883
01:35:49,987 --> 01:35:52,267
Speaker 24: Cleary has missed a lot of football and and other

1884
01:35:52,307 --> 01:35:55,187
Speaker 24: players have been out injured as well throughout the season.

1885
01:35:55,227 --> 01:35:56,987
Speaker 24: But you know, when they're all back in the finals,

1886
01:35:57,627 --> 01:35:59,027
Speaker 24: I think they're going to be the team to beat.

1887
01:35:59,267 --> 01:35:59,627
Speaker 18: All right.

1888
01:35:59,627 --> 01:36:01,987
Speaker 2: They're running as well and truly on let's the worry

1889
01:36:02,067 --> 01:36:04,787
Speaker 2: is going to move on and and find themselves somewhere

1890
01:36:04,787 --> 01:36:07,427
Speaker 2: near the eighth bread always in jow your analysis. Thanks

1891
01:36:07,427 --> 01:36:08,187
Speaker 2: for taking the time.

1892
01:36:08,787 --> 01:36:10,667
Speaker 8: Hey, great chatting, Jason, No, great.

1893
01:36:10,507 --> 01:36:13,307
Speaker 2: Chand do you too, Brad brad Walter there NRL dot

1894
01:36:13,347 --> 01:36:17,947
Speaker 2: com two twenty Talk to me about the Warriors. What's

1895
01:36:17,987 --> 01:36:20,707
Speaker 2: going on here? If you have a view. I didn't

1896
01:36:20,747 --> 01:36:23,067
Speaker 2: actually get to watch the game in its entirety. I

1897
01:36:23,187 --> 01:36:27,387
Speaker 2: was involved in the Olympics coverage, but I did hear

1898
01:36:28,387 --> 01:36:33,467
Speaker 2: I did hear my colleague Nick Beuley, part of the

1899
01:36:33,547 --> 01:36:38,907
Speaker 2: Olympic Games commentary team. I could tell how I could

1900
01:36:38,947 --> 01:36:41,947
Speaker 2: tell the game wasn't going well because he was watching

1901
01:36:41,947 --> 01:36:45,467
Speaker 2: it off to one side on his laptop. And yeah,

1902
01:36:45,707 --> 01:36:49,587
Speaker 2: he wasn't making the noises of a person who is

1903
01:36:49,707 --> 01:36:51,067
Speaker 2: enjoying watching his team.

1904
01:36:52,107 --> 01:36:52,507
Speaker 12: And what was it?

1905
01:36:52,627 --> 01:36:55,027
Speaker 2: Thirty points to Forten. I looked at some highlights, but

1906
01:36:55,027 --> 01:36:56,627
Speaker 2: it's always hard to tell from that. But do you

1907
01:36:56,707 --> 01:37:01,267
Speaker 2: have do you have a view here? The attitude things

1908
01:37:01,267 --> 01:37:04,267
Speaker 2: interesting to me? As I said to Brad, I feel

1909
01:37:04,307 --> 01:37:07,787
Speaker 2: like attitude is a non negotiable for sports teams, not

1910
01:37:07,827 --> 01:37:11,427
Speaker 2: just the Warriors, any team. It's a privileged position to

1911
01:37:11,507 --> 01:37:15,227
Speaker 2: be a professional sports person. So to me, you bring

1912
01:37:15,227 --> 01:37:18,787
Speaker 2: your attitude every day as are not negotiable, and that

1913
01:37:18,827 --> 01:37:22,107
Speaker 2: doesn't take any hard work. It's just a state of

1914
01:37:22,147 --> 01:37:25,867
Speaker 2: mind really. So if there's an attitude issue, I'm not

1915
01:37:25,907 --> 01:37:29,347
Speaker 2: saying there is, but then that needs to be put

1916
01:37:29,347 --> 01:37:31,667
Speaker 2: to bed quick. I don't think that there is. I

1917
01:37:31,707 --> 01:37:34,907
Speaker 2: haven't seen that. Obviously. There's been the odd occasion where

1918
01:37:34,947 --> 01:37:36,747
Speaker 2: you think, oh, you know, there might be something going

1919
01:37:36,747 --> 01:37:39,427
Speaker 2: on there, but nothing that's endemic, not that I can

1920
01:37:39,467 --> 01:37:43,387
Speaker 2: see anyway. But you might see something that is interesting

1921
01:37:43,467 --> 01:37:45,827
Speaker 2: to you around the Warriors. Oh, eight hundred and eighty

1922
01:37:45,947 --> 01:37:48,507
Speaker 2: ten eighty. Look, I'd love to think that they could

1923
01:37:48,507 --> 01:37:50,627
Speaker 2: win their last four games, and of course they could.

1924
01:37:50,907 --> 01:37:54,347
Speaker 2: They could. This is the Warriors. We've come to expect this.

1925
01:37:54,507 --> 01:37:58,387
Speaker 2: They could surprise us all and go on a run.

1926
01:38:00,467 --> 01:38:02,427
Speaker 2: But the thing that I keep coming back to is

1927
01:38:02,507 --> 01:38:07,107
Speaker 2: how excited we all were in April or whenever the

1928
01:38:07,147 --> 01:38:10,267
Speaker 2: season got underway. After what happened in twenty twenty three

1929
01:38:10,667 --> 01:38:13,667
Speaker 2: and an improved roster. In the eyes of most pundits,

1930
01:38:16,667 --> 01:38:20,027
Speaker 2: I think everybody thought that actually, all joking aside, this

1931
01:38:20,467 --> 01:38:26,747
Speaker 2: was going to be our years a loss to you know,

1932
01:38:26,827 --> 01:38:30,547
Speaker 2: to quickly encapsulate what's happened, because it hasn't gone that

1933
01:38:30,627 --> 01:38:35,227
Speaker 2: way at all. And yeah, just you know, looking back now,

1934
01:38:35,867 --> 01:38:40,547
Speaker 2: I remember being so excited about the season. Just on

1935
01:38:40,587 --> 01:38:43,427
Speaker 2: a side note, amazing that they've continued to sell games out.

1936
01:38:43,667 --> 01:38:45,667
Speaker 2: That says a heck of a lot about the Warriors

1937
01:38:45,667 --> 01:38:48,707
Speaker 2: fan base. So if you're one of those who goes

1938

1939
01:38:51,147 --> 01:38:55,187
Speaker 2: on you. That's what fandom is interested. Was it was

1940
01:38:55,227 --> 01:38:57,347
Speaker 2: it full there? Last? Was it full there? Last night.

1941
01:38:57,587 --> 01:39:01,947

1950
01:39:31,467 --> 01:39:32,347
Speaker 2: my fault. How are you?

1951
01:39:33,387 --> 01:39:33,587
Speaker 11: Yes?

1952
01:39:33,667 --> 01:39:33,827
Speaker 12: Good?

1953
01:39:33,907 --> 01:39:34,667

Speaker 2: Thank you? Michael?

1955
01:39:36,067 --> 01:39:36,227
Speaker 23: Good?

1956
01:39:36,307 --> 01:39:39,907
Speaker 26: Good looks. I was there last night. It was the

1957
01:39:39,947 --> 01:39:41,707
Speaker 26: first chance I'd had to get a ticket to the

1958
01:39:41,707 --> 01:39:43,707
Speaker 26: game all season. I live in the South Island, so

1959
01:39:43,747 --> 01:39:45,747
Speaker 26: I made the effort to fly up with some mates,

1960
01:39:46,987 --> 01:39:50,347
Speaker 26: expecting a must win game against the Eels side that

1961
01:39:50,347 --> 01:39:53,227
Speaker 26: it happened one of the last five or six. So

1962
01:39:53,387 --> 01:39:55,467
Speaker 26: to say that we're a bit gutter is probably a

1963
01:39:55,467 --> 01:39:56,387
Speaker 26: bit of an understatement.

1964
01:39:56,627 --> 01:39:58,547
Speaker 2: Yeah, I bet. How did you find the How did

1965
01:39:58,587 --> 01:40:00,907
Speaker 2: you find I know it's hard to you know when

1966
01:40:00,987 --> 01:40:03,027
Speaker 2: a team loses, but how did you find the occasion

1967
01:40:03,067 --> 01:40:05,107
Speaker 2: because it was obviously still pretty chockers.

1968
01:40:06,587 --> 01:40:08,867
Speaker 26: Yeah, look, it was an answer to your question. There

1969
01:40:08,907 --> 01:40:11,227
Speaker 26: were quite a few empty seats with about twenty minutes

1970
01:40:11,267 --> 01:40:16,507
Speaker 26: to go, but the atmosphere actually, to be honest, I

1971
01:40:16,547 --> 01:40:19,467
Speaker 26: thought the crowd atmosphere was a bit flat because the

1972
01:40:19,827 --> 01:40:22,907
Speaker 26: Warriors were flat. You could see it from the get go,

1973
01:40:24,707 --> 01:40:29,587
Speaker 26: and it's they've got some issues and they revert back

1974
01:40:29,627 --> 01:40:32,387
Speaker 26: to that one off pass and run, pass and run

1975
01:40:32,827 --> 01:40:35,187
Speaker 26: because there's nobody giving direction. And I don't want to

1976
01:40:35,187 --> 01:40:39,387
Speaker 26: single out Sean Johnson, but when you get when you

1977
01:40:39,387 --> 01:40:41,947
Speaker 26: look at other teams, you watch Sam Walker for the Roosters,

1978
01:40:42,027 --> 01:40:45,907
Speaker 26: or Cleary of course for Penrith, and the number sevens

1979
01:40:45,907 --> 01:40:46,467
Speaker 26: that take.

1980
01:40:46,307 --> 01:40:48,067
Speaker 5: On the line, they.

1981
01:40:48,147 --> 01:40:50,827
Speaker 26: Try different things. They're not just distributing the ball behind

1982
01:40:50,867 --> 01:40:54,307
Speaker 26: the line, and we're so predictable and then the rest

1983
01:40:54,307 --> 01:40:57,467
Speaker 26: of the team just reverts to type and we go nowhere.

1984
01:40:58,827 --> 01:41:02,067
Speaker 26: It's very, very disappointing. I agree with your comments earlier

1985
01:41:02,107 --> 01:41:04,667
Speaker 26: that I was excited about the season. I followed them

1986
01:41:04,667 --> 01:41:06,307
Speaker 26: from even though I live in the South Island now

1987
01:41:06,947 --> 01:41:09,187
Speaker 26: from Auckland. Originally I followed them from day one from

1988
01:41:09,267 --> 01:41:13,107
Speaker 26: ninety ninety five. After last year I thought this is

1989
01:41:13,707 --> 01:41:15,787
Speaker 26: maybe maybe we don't win it, but we're certainly going

1990
01:41:15,867 --> 01:41:19,467
Speaker 26: to make the playoffs. We we even thought, really after

1991
01:41:19,507 --> 01:41:21,107
Speaker 26: the first few weeks, we were definitely going to be

1992
01:41:21,147 --> 01:41:27,027
Speaker 26: top four. So it's extremely disappointing. Good on the Warriors

1993
01:41:27,107 --> 01:41:29,427
Speaker 26: fan base for turning up. I hear the next home

1994
01:41:29,467 --> 01:41:31,747
Speaker 26: game or the last one of the seasons already a sellout,

1995
01:41:32,507 --> 01:41:35,747
Speaker 26: so you know, I mean, that's that's great, but they

1996
01:41:35,827 --> 01:41:38,747
Speaker 26: got to deliver for the fans. That was last night

1997
01:41:38,827 --> 01:41:39,467
Speaker 26: was lackluster.

1998
01:41:40,307 --> 01:41:43,347
Speaker 2: Good on you for continuing to support them, Michael, And

1999
01:41:43,627 --> 01:41:45,947
Speaker 2: I think you know yeah, And I think you know

2000
01:41:45,987 --> 01:41:48,347
Speaker 2: you talked about how at the start of the season

2001
01:41:48,507 --> 01:41:50,387
Speaker 2: and I did two that I was excited. I think

2002
01:41:50,387 --> 01:41:52,667
Speaker 2: that was justified. Well, I don't think it was pie

2003
01:41:52,667 --> 01:41:55,827
Speaker 2: in the sky stuff. I don't think you'd find anybody

2004
01:41:55,827 --> 01:41:57,387
Speaker 2: who at the start of the season didn't have the

2005
01:41:57,387 --> 01:41:59,947
Speaker 2: Warriors in the eighth. Most of us, like you, Michael,

2006
01:42:00,227 --> 01:42:02,907
Speaker 2: had them in the four. Once they know they had

2007
01:42:02,907 --> 01:42:04,427
Speaker 2: a bit of a shaky start, but once they started

2008
01:42:04,427 --> 01:42:09,307
Speaker 2: winning games like this is the top fourteen now, it's

2009
01:42:09,347 --> 01:42:13,507
Speaker 2: like the eight is anything but guaranteed. They got on

2010
01:42:13,547 --> 01:42:15,947
Speaker 2: you for coming out Michael. Top staff mate. Hello, Ellen.

2011
01:42:16,667 --> 01:42:20,187
Speaker 7: Yeah, Hey, look the Warriors they're down outside the eight

2012
01:42:20,307 --> 01:42:24,427
Speaker 7: badly and they're joined by the Broncos and both teams

2013
01:42:24,467 --> 01:42:29,147
Speaker 7: are in a similar situation contest wise. But the thing

2014
01:42:29,147 --> 01:42:32,747
Speaker 7: that I went around earlier before the season started this year,

2015
01:42:32,787 --> 01:42:36,067
Speaker 7: as I was telling everybody that nothing they did last

2016
01:42:36,107 --> 01:42:37,867
Speaker 7: year is going to help them this year. And I

2017
01:42:37,947 --> 01:42:41,867
Speaker 7: mean it that there's just not everything changes through the

2018
01:42:41,907 --> 01:42:46,147
Speaker 7: off season for all the clubs, and the other thing

2019
01:42:46,187 --> 01:42:49,347
Speaker 7: that I think had a big influence on what's happened

2020
01:42:49,387 --> 01:42:52,627
Speaker 7: this year. If I've got my story right, when they

2021
01:42:52,667 --> 01:42:55,987
Speaker 7: renegotiated with Adam vaneuer Blake because he wanted to go

2022
01:42:56,307 --> 01:43:01,747
Speaker 7: to Australia, didn't they agree that he could when they

2023
01:43:01,787 --> 01:43:03,987
Speaker 7: played in Australia he could stay a sort of an

2024
01:43:04,027 --> 01:43:08,067
Speaker 7: extra couple of days or something like that, And that

2025
01:43:08,227 --> 01:43:12,547
Speaker 7: was the clincher that kept him there for this year. Now,

2026
01:43:12,827 --> 01:43:16,427
Speaker 7: if that story is true, that will send to ripple

2027
01:43:16,467 --> 01:43:19,267
Speaker 7: through the rest of the team that says he doesn't

2028
01:43:19,307 --> 01:43:22,147
Speaker 7: have to try, you know, turning up the training sessions

2029
01:43:22,187 --> 01:43:24,587
Speaker 7: and all that sort of thing. What are we putting

2030
01:43:24,587 --> 01:43:28,827
Speaker 7: the effort in for? And this type of thinking with

2031
01:43:28,987 --> 01:43:35,587
Speaker 7: dissatisfaction amongst a team has a ripple effect that affects everybody.

2032
01:43:36,067 --> 01:43:39,387
Speaker 7: Nobody ever says anything, just like players never criticized coaches,

2033
01:43:40,107 --> 01:43:43,347
Speaker 7: but it's there. And if you want an example of that,

2034
01:43:43,787 --> 01:43:45,787
Speaker 7: have a look at what's happened to South's in the

2035
01:43:45,867 --> 01:43:50,867
Speaker 7: last couple of seasons where Burgess, one of the greats

2036
01:43:50,907 --> 01:43:54,587
Speaker 7: of Souths who made us such a big impact, said

2037
01:43:54,827 --> 01:43:57,587
Speaker 7: and left the club eventually because of the special treatment

2038
01:43:58,307 --> 01:44:02,547
Speaker 7: that Latrelle Mitchell and Cody Walker we're getting from the

2039
01:44:02,627 --> 01:44:05,787
Speaker 7: coach and the rest of the team. For the Souths,

2040
01:44:05,987 --> 01:44:09,947
Speaker 7: they didn't put it in because they knew that they

2041
01:44:09,987 --> 01:44:13,467
Speaker 7: had two players that weren't putting it in. Now I'm

2042
01:44:13,507 --> 01:44:15,107
Speaker 7: quite od if somebody ring up and say that I'm

2043
01:44:15,107 --> 01:44:18,747
Speaker 7: completely wrong. But frankly, when I read that about Adam

2044
01:44:18,787 --> 01:44:21,067
Speaker 7: van Blake, I thought this is trouble.

2045
01:44:21,507 --> 01:44:25,267
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an interesting approach. Yeah yeah, I don't know

2046
01:44:25,307 --> 01:44:27,187
Speaker 2: the story to be true, not allan I would, It

2047
01:44:27,187 --> 01:44:30,107
Speaker 2: doesn't seem it doesn't seem far fetched. I think as

2048
01:44:30,147 --> 01:44:32,307
Speaker 2: a way of saying, you know, because we know Adan

2049
01:44:32,347 --> 01:44:34,627
Speaker 2: vanua Blake wants to be back in Australia, that's why

2050
01:44:34,667 --> 01:44:36,587
Speaker 2: he's leaving the Warriors and so it's a bit of

2051
01:44:36,587 --> 01:44:39,507
Speaker 2: a sort of I guess, a bit of quid pro quo,

2052
01:44:39,627 --> 01:44:41,267
Speaker 2: if that's what you can call it. They said, okay, hey,

2053
01:44:41,387 --> 01:44:43,227
Speaker 2: when we're over there, stay for a couple of weeks todays,

2054
01:44:43,227 --> 01:44:46,347
Speaker 2: then come back. I haven't seen, necessarily on the field

2055
01:44:46,747 --> 01:44:48,987
Speaker 2: most of the time, any lack of effort from Adam

2056
01:44:49,067 --> 01:44:51,507
Speaker 2: vanua Blake. I think he's still a terrific player. But

2057
01:44:51,547 --> 01:44:53,787
Speaker 2: I get what you're saying, Alan, and that it's it's

2058
01:44:53,827 --> 01:44:57,587
Speaker 2: the it's the things that are unsaid. I guess the

2059
01:44:57,587 --> 01:45:01,667
Speaker 2: the what what the signal it seems to the rest

2060
01:45:01,667 --> 01:45:03,907
Speaker 2: of the playing group, I guess is probably what you're

2061
01:45:03,987 --> 01:45:04,547
Speaker 2: driving at.

2062
01:45:05,267 --> 01:45:07,707
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, I mean somebody and the team is getting

2063
01:45:07,747 --> 01:45:11,267
Speaker 7: special treatment. I mean, when you get to a team environment,

2064
01:45:12,947 --> 01:45:16,987
Speaker 7: everybody only expects from their teammate their best effort. They

2065
01:45:16,987 --> 01:45:19,027
Speaker 7: don't expect them to be as good as this player,

2066
01:45:19,067 --> 01:45:21,147
Speaker 7: as good as that player. What they like to see

2067
01:45:21,187 --> 01:45:24,707
Speaker 7: from their teammate is somebody that's putting it in. And

2068
01:45:24,787 --> 01:45:29,027
Speaker 7: you forgive players, your teammates, you know, who are perhaps

2069
01:45:29,387 --> 01:45:31,107
Speaker 7: aren't as good at this or arent as good as that,

2070
01:45:31,627 --> 01:45:33,707
Speaker 7: But if they're giving their best, that's all you get.

2071
01:45:33,747 --> 01:45:37,067
Speaker 7: Asked for from by your teammates. Now, if it turns

2072
01:45:37,067 --> 01:45:39,587
Speaker 7: out that somebody is getting a little bit of what's

2073
01:45:39,627 --> 01:45:44,267
Speaker 7: seen or perceived as special treatment, then that's a cause

2074
01:45:44,307 --> 01:45:48,067
Speaker 7: of dissatisfaction. It's a thing that breaks down the structure

2075
01:45:48,507 --> 01:45:54,507
Speaker 7: of teamwork, teammate. And yeah, I'd like to think I'm wrong,

2076
01:45:54,587 --> 01:45:56,907
Speaker 7: but when I'm sure, I read it earlier in the season,

2077
01:45:56,907 --> 01:45:59,107
Speaker 7: and when I read it, I thought this is not

2078
01:45:59,187 --> 01:46:01,827
Speaker 7: going to go This will go down badly, I'm sure.

2079
01:46:02,187 --> 01:46:05,667
Speaker 7: And maybe that's what accounts for I don't know, but

2080
01:46:05,747 --> 01:46:08,027
Speaker 7: I just repair the other comment I made, and that

2081
01:46:08,227 --> 01:46:12,027
Speaker 7: is that anything they did in twenty twenty three does

2082
01:46:12,147 --> 01:46:16,267
Speaker 7: not guarantee them anything in twenty twenty four. And have

2083
01:46:16,347 --> 01:46:18,827
Speaker 7: a look at the Broncos. They played in the Grand

2084
01:46:18,867 --> 01:46:21,147
Speaker 7: Final and they're only just a couple of places above us.

2085
01:46:21,427 --> 01:46:25,347
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, donn Ellen, got good summary from you, thanks mate. Yeah,

2086
01:46:25,427 --> 01:46:27,947
Speaker 2: I guess what twenty twenty three did was and still

2087
01:46:28,507 --> 01:46:31,827
Speaker 2: a little bit of confidence, a little bit of excitement

2088
01:46:31,827 --> 01:46:34,867
Speaker 2: because they thought, man, they were great. And now they're

2089
01:46:34,867 --> 01:46:37,787
Speaker 2: adding Roger, we're getting Chanell back and a couple of others,

2090
01:46:37,787 --> 01:46:41,907
Speaker 2: and we're not really losing anybody. This team has got

2091
01:46:42,427 --> 01:46:46,147
Speaker 2: the chance to do something special. Oh e one hundred

2092
01:46:46,147 --> 01:46:47,787
Speaker 2: and eighty ten eighty, we can keep taking calls on

2093
01:46:47,827 --> 01:46:50,547
Speaker 2: the Warriors. Twenty seven away from three. How are you

2094
01:46:50,587 --> 01:46:51,947
Speaker 2: feeling about the Warriors today.

2095
01:46:51,747 --> 01:46:56,107
Speaker 27: Nick, Yeah, I'm a bit disappointed, to be quite honest,

2096
01:46:56,107 --> 01:47:01,387
Speaker 27: from last night. They had any chance of winning home games, Johnson,

2097
01:47:01,507 --> 01:47:05,507
Speaker 27: full crowd, everything that just stanned out perfect for them.

2098
01:47:06,547 --> 01:47:12,107
Speaker 27: You know. In saying that, I think, Yeah, the way

2099
01:47:12,147 --> 01:47:14,907
Speaker 27: I predicted for the Warriors last year, I thought that'll

2100
01:47:14,987 --> 01:47:17,427
Speaker 27: make just make it in top eight. But you know

2101
01:47:18,147 --> 01:47:20,227
Speaker 27: I was wrong. There were top four and they played

2102
01:47:20,227 --> 01:47:23,667
Speaker 27: really well this year. I was totally confident for them

2103
01:47:23,707 --> 01:47:25,947
Speaker 27: to be in the top four. It was almost a

2104
01:47:26,027 --> 01:47:29,387
Speaker 27: shoe and it's not looking like that at the moment.

2105
01:47:29,467 --> 01:47:29,667
Speaker 12: Yep.

2106
01:47:30,187 --> 01:47:32,427
Speaker 2: But you were right to think it. I think we

2107
01:47:32,467 --> 01:47:35,947
Speaker 2: were all right to think it. You know, after last year.

2108
01:47:37,747 --> 01:47:41,027
Speaker 2: Find me anybody in a preseason prediction who didn't have

2109
01:47:41,027 --> 01:47:44,387
Speaker 2: the Worries in the eight. Most people had them in

2110
01:47:44,387 --> 01:47:47,747
Speaker 2: the in the four after last year. And Allen's point

2111
01:47:47,907 --> 01:47:51,907
Speaker 2: stands that, you know, one season doesn't guarantee another season,

2112
01:47:51,947 --> 01:47:55,587
Speaker 2: but we were right to feel excited. I think. Anyway,

2113
01:47:56,827 --> 01:47:59,067
Speaker 2: what did you make of a film.

2114
01:47:59,667 --> 01:48:02,587
Speaker 6: Well, I'm going to point scratch them off.

2115
01:48:05,747 --> 01:48:07,387
Speaker 2: That's actually subbed it up quite well.

2116
01:48:08,907 --> 01:48:11,947
Speaker 6: Yeah, the people before me have made some good points,

2117
01:48:12,067 --> 01:48:14,507
Speaker 6: interesting points, and I'm scratching my head. I watched the

2118
01:48:14,547 --> 01:48:18,547
Speaker 6: game last night and like one of the people said that,

2119
01:48:18,667 --> 01:48:21,787
Speaker 6: they just seem to have been flat, you know in

2120
01:48:21,867 --> 01:48:25,907
Speaker 6: the attack and blackluster and revert back to the one

2121
01:48:25,987 --> 01:48:30,427
Speaker 6: up running the ball and getting through about four tackles

2122
01:48:30,467 --> 01:48:33,987
Speaker 6: and then kicking it and not looking to offload it much,

2123
01:48:34,067 --> 01:48:36,467
Speaker 6: you know, to create a gap or shoot someone through,

2124
01:48:36,507 --> 01:48:40,907
Speaker 6: because that was one of the things that last night

2125
01:48:40,947 --> 01:48:43,587
Speaker 6: I noticed was that the Eel seemed to be able

2126
01:48:43,627 --> 01:48:47,507
Speaker 6: to punch holes through their defense, you know, running angles,

2127
01:48:47,507 --> 01:48:50,147
Speaker 6: were just running hard, or one a pass flipped to

2128
01:48:50,227 --> 01:48:53,507
Speaker 6: somebody and the next minute he's punched through because the

2129
01:48:53,667 --> 01:48:56,707
Speaker 6: Warriors have missed a couple of the tackles, which again

2130
01:48:56,787 --> 01:49:01,347
Speaker 6: you know again they dropped balls, you know, made the mistakes,

2131
01:49:01,347 --> 01:49:05,147
Speaker 6: and then the tackling was pretty weak at times. And

2132
01:49:05,227 --> 01:49:08,587
Speaker 6: I just I don't think it would matter what coach

2133
01:49:08,707 --> 01:49:11,667
Speaker 6: comes along, because they've had great coaches in the past,

2134
01:49:11,747 --> 01:49:14,707
Speaker 6: you know, like Clearing and then they made the Grand

2135
01:49:14,747 --> 01:49:18,187
Speaker 6: Final once and lost that and I believe that West's

2136
01:49:18,227 --> 01:49:20,947
Speaker 6: a great coach as well, and maybe it's going to

2137
01:49:21,027 --> 01:49:23,507
Speaker 6: be like the Cronella Sharks or that took fifty years

2138
01:49:23,507 --> 01:49:25,827
Speaker 6: to win and then final.

2139
01:49:29,067 --> 01:49:31,947
Speaker 2: We might not be hearing you and I.

2140
01:49:31,187 --> 01:49:33,467
Speaker 6: No, well that's right. Well I'm fifty five now, so

2141
01:49:33,507 --> 01:49:36,347
Speaker 6: it's a good chance I won't be. But yeah, because

2142
01:49:36,387 --> 01:49:41,307
Speaker 6: I just don't know what it is. The attitude maybe,

2143
01:49:41,427 --> 01:49:46,227
Speaker 6: like I wouldn't like to think that they just have

2144
01:49:46,347 --> 01:49:49,387
Speaker 6: the attitude where they think, wow, it's good enough. We're

2145
01:49:49,427 --> 01:49:52,627
Speaker 6: professional football players playing football, so we'll just turn up

2146
01:49:52,627 --> 01:49:54,907
Speaker 6: and if we win, we don't win, and if we do,

2147
01:49:55,107 --> 01:49:57,267
Speaker 6: that's great. I'd like to think, you know, that's not

2148
01:49:57,827 --> 01:50:00,867
Speaker 6: the desire is there to win and win that you know,

2149
01:50:00,947 --> 01:50:04,387
Speaker 6: premiership and win every time. But it's so hard to

2150
01:50:04,387 --> 01:50:07,187
Speaker 6: fathom when you get they get some by the bottom

2151
01:50:07,267 --> 01:50:10,827
Speaker 6: team on a record score, then they get beaten by

2152
01:50:10,827 --> 01:50:14,067
Speaker 6: the second bottom team fighting for the wooden spoon, and

2153
01:50:14,147 --> 01:50:17,267
Speaker 6: not only beaten, but up until that last ten minutes

2154
01:50:17,307 --> 01:50:19,427
Speaker 6: of the game where they put a couple of things

2155
01:50:19,427 --> 01:50:22,667
Speaker 6: together and Johnson put a couple of good ticks up

2156
01:50:22,707 --> 01:50:26,067
Speaker 6: with a bit of pressure, they were totally being outplayed

2157
01:50:26,307 --> 01:50:30,947
Speaker 6: and tackled and also like I say, the gaps were

2158
01:50:30,947 --> 01:50:34,467
Speaker 6: being found and they were missing tackles, So I just yeah,

2159
01:50:34,667 --> 01:50:37,187
Speaker 6: I just think it might just come down to one day.

2160
01:50:37,747 --> 01:50:39,987
Speaker 6: They'll just have the players and it all come together,

2161
01:50:40,027 --> 01:50:42,947
Speaker 6: no matter who the coach is. Because on paper there

2162
01:50:42,947 --> 01:50:45,067
Speaker 6: are top they should be a top four side, and

2163
01:50:45,147 --> 01:50:48,507
Speaker 6: like you say, after last year, gee, I was thinking

2164
01:50:48,547 --> 01:50:51,187
Speaker 6: at least top eight, may be probably top four and

2165
01:50:51,267 --> 01:50:55,187
Speaker 6: you know, real confident. But again, it's just so bewildering

2166
01:50:55,227 --> 01:50:58,107
Speaker 6: what it is that they don't turn up on the day,

2167
01:50:58,227 --> 01:51:00,147
Speaker 6: you know, like the fallion that you said had the

2168
01:51:00,227 --> 01:51:03,347
Speaker 6: expert on. They're just so inconsistent. But what is that reason?

2169
01:51:04,627 --> 01:51:06,827
Speaker 6: You'd have to be a scientist. I think you could

2170
01:51:07,467 --> 01:51:08,747
Speaker 6: just as the chime figure it out.

2171
01:51:08,987 --> 01:51:11,227
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, Phil. I think you your first end

2172
01:51:11,267 --> 01:51:13,707
Speaker 2: and summed it up bugge if I know, and your

2173
01:51:13,787 --> 01:51:16,987
Speaker 2: last sentence there and involved the word bewildered. And I

2174
01:51:17,027 --> 01:51:19,147
Speaker 2: think that's how a lot of people are feeling. How

2175
01:51:19,187 --> 01:51:23,547
Speaker 2: can this team that was so good and strengthened itself.

2176
01:51:24,027 --> 01:51:26,027
Speaker 2: Yes they've had injuries, but but how can it be

2177
01:51:26,827 --> 01:51:31,907
Speaker 2: so inconsistent? Calls keep coming, We'll keep taking them. Twenty

2178
01:51:31,907 --> 01:51:33,987
Speaker 2: two away from three, we're back after this on News

2179

01:51:49,987 --> 01:51:51,467
Speaker 2: Thanks for holding John, Good afternoon.

2186
01:51:52,427 --> 01:51:53,187
Speaker 28: The tiny.

2187
01:51:54,467 --> 01:51:56,427
Speaker 8: Look we've been this has been going for years now,

2188
01:51:56,507 --> 01:51:59,987
Speaker 8: so they have to quite the bullshit now and Carlin,

2189
01:52:00,027 --> 01:52:04,107
Speaker 8: the players, with management and the court and so that's

2190
01:52:05,107 --> 01:52:06,947
Speaker 8: where are we going? What the hell is wrong do

2191
01:52:07,187 --> 01:52:10,907
Speaker 8: you think, Richard mccar right, Kine, what proper nonsense? Attitude was?

2192
01:52:11,467 --> 01:52:13,187
Speaker 8: The talent is there, it's attitude.

2193
01:52:15,067 --> 01:52:17,467
Speaker 2: I I as I said before, John, I just don't

2194
01:52:17,907 --> 01:52:21,987
Speaker 2: understand and maybe it's very naive of me, but attitude

2195
01:52:22,067 --> 01:52:24,707
Speaker 2: is not negotiable in a professional sports team.

2196
01:52:25,347 --> 01:52:26,027
Speaker 28: Hold.

2197
01:52:26,827 --> 01:52:30,627
Speaker 8: We all know that well certain that the players seems

2198
01:52:30,627 --> 01:52:34,467
Speaker 8: to be. They've they've just accepted it for not a

2199
01:52:34,507 --> 01:52:37,187
Speaker 8: week of certain games. So do some of the players

2200
01:52:37,387 --> 01:52:39,867
Speaker 8: run into the product thinking no, I'm just not I'm

2201
01:52:39,867 --> 01:52:40,987
Speaker 8: just today.

2202
01:52:41,627 --> 01:52:42,947
Speaker 2: Do you do you think that's true?

2203
01:52:42,987 --> 01:52:43,227
Speaker 4: Do you?

2204
01:52:43,347 --> 01:52:45,747
Speaker 2: I mean, it looks to me like they're trying as

2205
01:52:45,747 --> 01:52:46,427
Speaker 2: hard as they can.

2206
01:52:46,547 --> 01:52:47,787
Speaker 27: I'll tell you what.

2207
01:52:47,947 --> 01:52:50,267
Speaker 8: That's where the management needs to sit down in the

2208
01:52:50,667 --> 01:52:54,707
Speaker 8: dress room and as each individual player, where's your head at.

2209
01:52:55,667 --> 01:52:59,947
Speaker 8: There's fantastic supporters, there's those players that support is incredible,

2210
01:53:00,187 --> 01:53:04,427
Speaker 8: and and they just showed that.

2211
01:53:04,587 --> 01:53:05,547
Speaker 2: Ye sorry, John, carry on?

2212
01:53:05,587 --> 01:53:07,267
Speaker 8: What's well?

2213
01:53:08,027 --> 01:53:08,267
Speaker 12: Yeah?

2214
01:53:08,467 --> 01:53:12,187
Speaker 2: Your hondas bewildered, as Fill and many of us, we're

2215
01:53:12,187 --> 01:53:14,307
Speaker 2: all trying to make sense of it. I think that's it,

2216
01:53:15,227 --> 01:53:20,827
Speaker 2: this inexplicable season which promised so much and hasn't really

2217
01:53:20,827 --> 01:53:23,307
Speaker 2: delivered it. Yes, they could still make the eight, but

2218
01:53:23,347 --> 01:53:26,187
Speaker 2: we're talking mathematics now, And it was like, was what

2219
01:53:26,267 --> 01:53:28,987
Speaker 2: season was a twenty eighteen when they sort of snuck

2220
01:53:29,027 --> 01:53:30,347
Speaker 2: into the ape? But all they did, all they did

2221
01:53:30,427 --> 01:53:33,707
Speaker 2: was elong at this season by one week. We all

2222
01:53:33,747 --> 01:53:36,907
Speaker 2: wanted twenty twenty three to be a springboard, didn't we

2223
01:53:37,987 --> 01:53:40,347
Speaker 2: to be the season that you needed to get, the

2224
01:53:40,387 --> 01:53:41,427
Speaker 2: season that you win it?

2225
01:53:43,547 --> 01:53:43,787
Speaker 9: Hello?

2226
01:53:43,947 --> 01:53:44,227
Speaker 2: Ron?

2227
01:53:45,147 --> 01:53:45,507
Speaker 12: Hey boy?

2228
01:53:45,787 --> 01:53:47,027
Speaker 2: Are you good? Thank you? Ron?

2229
01:53:47,827 --> 01:53:50,107
Speaker 28: Yeah? Got two points. Man. You don't go out there

2230
01:53:50,147 --> 01:53:53,307
Speaker 28: to play, you play. You'll go there to win, all right,

2231
01:53:53,747 --> 01:53:56,467
Speaker 28: And you only go out there for eighteen minutes a week,

2232
01:53:57,067 --> 01:53:59,707
Speaker 28: eighteen minutes a week. All you're asked at two hundred

2233
01:53:59,747 --> 01:54:02,867
Speaker 28: percent thickness. You those young fellows and need to know

2234
01:54:03,027 --> 01:54:05,787
Speaker 28: to throw the bar around that are exciting that you know,

2235
01:54:06,667 --> 01:54:10,947
Speaker 28: like touch b they do practice, go through, not sideways,

2236
01:54:10,987 --> 01:54:12,947
Speaker 28: all that stuff, just basic stuff.

2237
01:54:16,227 --> 01:54:18,787
Speaker 2: So did you did you say the young guys are

2238
01:54:18,827 --> 01:54:24,067
Speaker 2: doing that? Ron or I see, sorry, I thought that.

2239
01:54:24,227 --> 01:54:26,147
Speaker 2: I thought that's what you mean. Yeah, that you're right,

2240
01:54:26,187 --> 01:54:29,747
Speaker 2: there are there are opportunities have been handed to guys

2241
01:54:29,867 --> 01:54:33,747
Speaker 2: who have seized those opportunities. And yeah, I guess in

2242
01:54:33,787 --> 01:54:37,347
Speaker 2: some ways they probably think, well, I did what you asked,

2243
01:54:37,627 --> 01:54:39,947
Speaker 2: Why why am I not on the team? We all

2244
01:54:39,987 --> 01:54:42,387
Speaker 2: know that that there are, you know, players and teams

2245
01:54:42,387 --> 01:54:46,627
Speaker 2: who play regardless of injury, form of other players, that

2246
01:54:46,667 --> 01:54:49,387
Speaker 2: sort of thing. You know that the front liners, of

2247
01:54:49,467 --> 01:54:52,707
Speaker 2: course they are. But I tend to agree in some

2248
01:54:52,747 --> 01:54:55,547
Speaker 2: ways that you need to reward guys who come in

2249
01:54:55,747 --> 01:54:59,827
Speaker 2: against expectation and against their own lack of experience actually

2250
01:54:59,907 --> 01:55:03,827
Speaker 2: play pretty well. Hello, Brent.

2251
01:55:05,147 --> 01:55:08,547
Speaker 10: Good up the last night's result. But I just wanted

2252
01:55:08,547 --> 01:55:11,587
Speaker 10: to point out a couple of points at the start

2253
01:55:11,627 --> 01:55:14,307
Speaker 10: of the year, before the season kicked off. I don't

2254
01:55:14,307 --> 01:55:17,347
Speaker 10: know whether you watched the l three sets and James Graham,

2255
01:55:17,347 --> 01:55:20,067
Speaker 10: who plaid for England and paid for the Bulldogs. He

2256
01:55:20,187 --> 01:55:22,827
Speaker 10: predicted of all the teams that were in the top eight,

2257
01:55:22,867 --> 01:55:25,507
Speaker 10: the Warriors will be the team that were probably going

2258
01:55:25,507 --> 01:55:29,347
Speaker 10: to fall away the most. And so far as he's predicted,

2259
01:55:29,387 --> 01:55:31,067
Speaker 10: pretty much on the mark. But at the time everyone

2260
01:55:31,147 --> 01:55:35,467
Speaker 10: thought he was crazy after the last year's Warriors heroics. Secondly,

2261
01:55:35,547 --> 01:55:37,067
Speaker 10: and I don't know whether you've heard this or whether

2262
01:55:37,067 --> 01:55:40,267
Speaker 10: it's been brought up before. I heard last night that

2263
01:55:40,427 --> 01:55:43,627
Speaker 10: down the flying minutes and even going to Cornalla next year.

2264
01:55:43,707 --> 01:55:44,547
Speaker 18: Is there any truth in that?

2265
01:55:45,267 --> 01:55:47,787
Speaker 2: Well, I hadn't heard that, Brent. You get a lot

2266
01:55:47,787 --> 01:55:52,187
Speaker 2: of rumors, right, I hadn't heard that. Look, I mean

2267
01:55:52,747 --> 01:55:56,067
Speaker 2: this speculation around a lot of players, right, that's the

2268
01:55:56,067 --> 01:55:59,267
Speaker 2: first I've heard of it. I hope he stays, you know,

2269
01:55:59,347 --> 01:56:04,107
Speaker 2: at his best cold hero try scoring machine, you know,

2270
01:56:04,187 --> 01:56:07,667
Speaker 2: those those acrobatics and the in the corner, the right

2271
01:56:07,667 --> 01:56:11,667
Speaker 2: wing corner iconic from Delan want Tennis Lesnie. I hope

2272
01:56:11,667 --> 01:56:16,107
Speaker 2: he stays. Hadn't heard that, Brent. Interesting. Interesting that rumors

2273
01:56:16,107 --> 01:56:18,787
Speaker 2: like that are starting to float around, which is inevitable

2274
01:56:18,787 --> 01:56:21,947
Speaker 2: when you're not going as well as you might. Okay, Lyle,

2275
01:56:22,027 --> 01:56:22,827
Speaker 2: give us your summation.

2276
01:56:24,467 --> 01:56:27,547
Speaker 16: Well, first of all, then reporter you spoke throughout of Sydney.

2277
01:56:27,547 --> 01:56:31,947
Speaker 16: He's a literary but he says, if they do this

2278
01:56:32,027 --> 01:56:34,547
Speaker 16: and if they do that, well, to start with, before

2279
01:56:34,547 --> 01:56:38,147
Speaker 16: I have to night, what I numbers directed, I'll be retiring.

2280
01:56:38,707 --> 01:56:41,107
Speaker 16: That's the small words that the large meaning. But I

2281
01:56:41,187 --> 01:56:44,747
Speaker 16: go back to probably last week's game against the Tigers,

2282
01:56:44,827 --> 01:56:47,587
Speaker 16: and they made hard work of that and put it

2283
01:56:47,587 --> 01:56:50,587
Speaker 16: in a nutshell. Beside that turned out last night looked

2284
01:56:50,707 --> 01:56:52,707
Speaker 16: like a side that they can't wait till the end

2285
01:56:52,707 --> 01:56:56,267
Speaker 16: of the season arise. I know, you know, webs talks

2286
01:56:56,267 --> 01:56:57,827
Speaker 16: a good game and we're going to do this and

2287
01:56:57,827 --> 01:57:00,587
Speaker 16: we're going to do that. But they knew this season

2288
01:57:00,707 --> 01:57:03,787
Speaker 16: was on the line before they took the field last night.

2289
01:57:03,867 --> 01:57:07,547
Speaker 16: They're playing the Wooden Spooners. Now, a performance like that

2290
01:57:07,587 --> 01:57:09,947
Speaker 16: would be bad enough in a normal round robin match,

2291
01:57:10,427 --> 01:57:12,827
Speaker 16: but the difference between the Warriors and are always that's

2292
01:57:12,867 --> 01:57:15,027
Speaker 16: what it has been, and the better sides than the

2293
01:57:15,147 --> 01:57:17,987
Speaker 16: comp when your balls are on the line. For want

2294
01:57:18,027 --> 01:57:22,307
Speaker 16: of a better expression, I suppose the Australian side front

2295
01:57:22,667 --> 01:57:25,467
Speaker 16: and even if they go down, they go down swinging.

2296
01:57:26,227 --> 01:57:28,707
Speaker 16: I've been on watch the Warriors and stayed out and

2297
01:57:29,867 --> 01:57:31,787
Speaker 16: oh I can say I thank christ in New Zealand

2298
01:57:31,827 --> 01:57:35,627
Speaker 16: that the Olympic athletes showed more gold because last night

2299
01:57:35,787 --> 01:57:39,787
Speaker 16: saiders were pathetic and again they just looked like they

2300
01:57:39,787 --> 01:57:44,107
Speaker 16: didn't even really want to be on the fields. And Johnson, yeah, great, Yeah,

2301
01:57:44,627 --> 01:57:46,667
Speaker 16: John's has got to play. Johnson's got to play. The

2302
01:57:46,747 --> 01:57:50,027
Speaker 16: great ruben WICKI to go to reserve grade. You know

2303
01:57:50,227 --> 01:57:53,067
Speaker 16: one of these people that say Johnson, Johnson, Johnson, they're

2304
01:57:53,067 --> 01:57:56,307
Speaker 16: looking at it through last year's he hasn't really had

2305
01:57:56,347 --> 01:57:57,107
Speaker 16: a good game all.

2306
01:57:57,187 --> 01:57:57,587
Speaker 28: See.

2307
01:57:58,107 --> 01:57:59,907
Speaker 16: Now, I'm not going to bag the blake that I'm

2308
01:57:59,907 --> 01:58:01,907
Speaker 16: just calling it the way I see it. You get

2309
01:58:01,947 --> 01:58:05,907
Speaker 16: selected on form Tomori March at the end, Johnson missed

2310
01:58:05,907 --> 01:58:09,907
Speaker 16: a kick from in front last night right on half time. No, yeah,

2311
01:58:09,907 --> 01:58:12,627
Speaker 16: his day is the best days of been gone. So

2312
01:58:12,827 --> 01:58:14,827
Speaker 16: he needs to hang it up. And they need to

2313
01:58:15,907 --> 01:58:17,907
Speaker 16: probably put the Mary Martin there and a few of

2314
01:58:17,907 --> 01:58:20,187
Speaker 16: the younger boys for the rest of the season to

2315
01:58:20,307 --> 01:58:22,867
Speaker 16: give them some mileage under their legs.

2316
01:58:24,707 --> 01:58:28,307
Speaker 2: Thanks mile Are you are those ducks in the background

2317
01:58:28,307 --> 01:58:30,027
Speaker 2: that I can hear? What can I hear in the background?

2318
01:58:31,307 --> 01:58:35,067

2319
01:58:35,667 --> 01:58:39,747

2320
01:58:39,947 --> 01:58:42,667
Speaker 16: we're having to chaw them a bit of Australian anna.

2321

2328
01:59:05,187 --> 01:59:07,627

2329

2331
01:59:14,147 --> 01:59:19,147

Speaker 2: left shorn out and run the combo that's been together

2333
01:59:21,347 --> 01:59:24,027

2335
01:59:26,867 --> 01:59:29,227

2336
01:59:29,547 --> 01:59:31,147
Speaker 2: you might be able to tell him pretty dark on

2337
01:59:31,187 --> 01:59:34,667
