1
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: Day twelve of these Winter Olympics and go to Guru

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: from the New Zealand Herald, Christopher Reeve. Morning.

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 2: I think Confirmer chapelone was very good at Laney.

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: Oh you were there.

5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 2: I was there.

6
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: I heard that she shed a bit of a d

7
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: and m about halfway through. How things are so good

8
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: in the States and she felt right at home here

9
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: in New Zealand.

10
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, people loved it excellent.

11
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: Also loving these Olympics from Afar. We've got two medals secured,

12
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: the chance to equal our best tally tonight, Alice Robinson

13
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: in the alpine skiing something called the Super G. So

14
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: give us a load down on this. What is super G?

15
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: Yes? So super G is sort of the speed race

16
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 2: for Alice Robinson. It's similar to the giant slalom, which

17
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 2: is her preferred discipline, but it's more about getting down

18
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: in the hill fastest the gates are further apart. It's

19
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: kind of a combination of downhill and giant slalom. It's

20
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 2: just something a little bit different. Especially quite fun to

21
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 2: watch because they do have that aspect of just trying

22
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 2: to send it down the hill, but they also have

23
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: to keep it quite technical. To make sure they're not

24
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: so not taking off too much of the course when

25
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 2: they're going around the going around the marks. So quite good.

26
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: Everything about these games has been fun to watch. We've

27
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: got cam Melville ives who's on the half pipe at

28
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: the moment. I've got the TV screen here in the studio,

29
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: and I mean, this thing looks like it's kilometers long.

30
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: Apparently it's only one hundred and eighty meters. But you know,

31
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: they're doing all tricks, so that's sort of been a

32
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,919
Speaker 1: theme this week, is going over jumps and doing tricks

33
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: and flips and whatnot in the air, whereas tonight Ellis

34
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: Robinson is more about just keeping those skis planted and

35
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: getting around there. The we gate things.

36
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you can you can find sort of

37
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: what you want at the Winter Games, whether you're looking

38
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: for cool tricks and the half five, or whether you're

39
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 2: looking for cross country skin, whether you want to watch

40
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: people fating each other in ice hockey.

41
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: It's all there. So, I mean, on what we've seen,

42
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: we've had two heart in the mouth comeback wins from

43
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: Zoe and Luca. Do you think there's a chance it'll

44
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: play out the same with Alice Tonight or is she

45
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: picked to be pretty dominant.

46
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: Well, this one's not her preferred discipline. She has had

47
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: some success at the sort of at the start of

48
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: the season. I would almost say surprise success in this one.

49
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: She'd never been on the podium in the Super g

50
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 2: before this season, and she went out and won the

51
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 2: race and then got on the podium at the next one.

52
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: So she comes in with some form. So I think

53
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 2: on the back of that, you have to say she's

54
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: definitely a chance at the medals. I don't know if

55
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: i'd call her a lock in this event. I think

56
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: I'd be a lot more confident in the giant slalam

57
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: with Alice, but certainly a medal.

58
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: Chant no good for the heart rate following this thing,

59
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: and also for the sleep pattern eleven thirty tonight if

60
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: you wanted to stay up to catch that. Talk us

61
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: through some other medal hopes or just key was in

62
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: general that we've got nextion into the weekend.

63
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, so over the next sort of week in a bit,

64
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 2: I guess lest of the games obviously as Zoe Sadaki

65
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: Siner is back in action next week in the slop style.

66
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: That's once she won golden last time. Mate.

67
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, she's got gold in that one. Luca Harrington

68
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 2: Jon bronze yesterday. He's back in action later as well.

69
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 2: Finn Melville ives you mentioned his brother Cam in the

70
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 2: half five at the moment, so Finn is also half

71
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 2: five athletes. He's on the skis and he's world champion.

72
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: He's very very good at what he does, and he's

73
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: not the only chi wee in that event who's a

74
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 2: medal chance. I think Luke Harold, seventeen year old, won

75
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: the Youth Games a few years back. He's also one

76
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 2: to watch. So we definitely have a few medal chances

77
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: here and it's really nice to see. I think we

78
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: talked about it last time that this is the biggest

79
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 2: contingent we've sent over, and it really felt like there

80
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2: were a lot of metal chances in this group. And

81
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: you only look back to twenty eighteen where we had

82
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: only one medal before that game, and now all of

83
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 2: a sudden, we're producing all these young talented athletes who

84
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 2: get genuinely at the top of the game on the

85
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 2: global scale. It's great to see
