1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,920
Speaker 1: Just that we need to get to Paris for a

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: couple of quick things and catch up with guy Guy

3
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: evening morning whatever, how are.

4
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 2: You evening morning? Yeah, very good, thank you. And then

5
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 2: over now after it's just started absolutely bucketing down. But yes,

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 2: very good, very good, loving it.

7
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,319
Speaker 1: It's funny. I was watching I can't remember what I

8
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: was watching earlier on this morning, but it was some

9
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,319
Speaker 1: sort of race that wouldn't have been the marathon, but anyway,

10
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: they're running through the streets and it looked wet. Again.

11
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:26,479
Speaker 1: How much rain have you.

12
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: Had the twenty kilometer walk it would have been that

13
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 2: was it, no doubt, looked like they were running. We

14
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 2: haven't had a lot here in Paris, but we are

15
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 2: getting a lot right now. Well, actually, I lie. We

16
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: had about a two day period around the opening ceremony

17
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: where it did bucket down, and now it's just started

18
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 2: to rain promptly again. I'd say for the first time

19
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 2: since been Other than that, it's been pretty nice, and

20
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 2: in the last few days it's been very very hot,

21
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: as you, no doubtsaw during that triath on yesterday.

22
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: Okay, a couple of quick ones for you. The Chinese

23
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: doping thing, the Chinese testing thing, plus this Algerian boxer.

24
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: How big a deal is this?

25
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: Well, I've got to be honest, if you, Mike. Until

26
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 2: your producer texts me a little bit earlier on in

27
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: the day about the Algeria boxer thing, I didn't even know.

28
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: That's how kind of in the zone we are with

29
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: what we're doing around New Zealand. I hadn't seen it yet.

30
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: In saying that that's a big story, I just think

31
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: this is the sort of thing that they need to

32
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 2: figure out very quickly, because it's obviously something that's happening

33
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 2: in society a lot more in terms of people changing

34
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 2: their genders and that sort of thing. But I don't

35
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 2: really think it's a in those sorts of sports like boxing,

36
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 2: particularly where it is so physical and that sort of

37
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 2: thing that is something where you can't take risks in

38
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 2: terms of the gender side of things. So I think

39
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 2: this will be a very, very big story over the

40
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: next twenty four hours. The fact that the Italian just

41
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: walked off after forty six seconds of about that's not

42
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 2: a great look for the IOC particular.

43
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, while I've got your Djokovic the other day and

44
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: has complained about the test, how many sports they are,

45
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: in your view, are not of what you would call

46
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: Olympic standard or have participants in there where you think,

47
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: you know what, this is bollocks, whereas there are others,

48
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: you know, the Simone Biles, the greatest thing you'll ever see,

49
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: versus people who can barely hit a ball or run.

50
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: Yeah too right. I mean things like athletics, swimming, triathlon, gymnastics,

51
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 2: as you mentioned, no sorts of sports. They are absolutely

52
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: Olympic sports. But then you look at sports like rugby

53
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 2: sevens and football and tennis. You know, like these men

54
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 2: and women don't play tennis to win Olympic medals. They

55
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 2: play tennis to win Grand Slams. And it's the same

56
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: with the golf. They don't play golf to win Olympic medals.

57
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 2: They play golf to win major championships. They don't play

58
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: football to win Olympic medals. They play football to win

59
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: the World Cup. And in the football as well, there

60
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 2: are under twenty it's mainly an under twenty three competition.

61
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: Bar are a couple of players who are over that

62
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: eight so that to me seems a bit ridiculous as well.

63
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: I think there are a few sports they could get

64
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: rid of and saying that they're adding sports like break

65
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 2: dancing or breaking as it's called in these So which

66
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 2: would you rather? Would you rather those sports that I

67
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: mentioned or would you rather things like breaking? Yeah?

68
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 1: Fair enough? All right, go well mate, we'll catch up Monday.

69
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: Appreciate it very much. Guyer Belt in the What's about
