1
00:00:06,667 --> 00:00:10,387
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Weekend Sport podcast with Jason Vine

2
00:00:10,707 --> 00:00:12,907
Speaker 1: from newstalk ZEDB Buzz.

3
00:00:12,947 --> 00:00:15,307
Speaker 2: He correspondent Adam Peacock with a quick review of the

4
00:00:15,307 --> 00:00:18,307
Speaker 2: Olympic Games. Adam eighteen goals. Fourth on the middle table

5
00:00:18,467 --> 00:00:21,987
Speaker 2: a resounding success, surely yeah.

6
00:00:21,667 --> 00:00:25,147
Speaker 3: For us and you we spoke last week how happy

7
00:00:25,187 --> 00:00:28,947
Speaker 3: our respective nations are in unison and yeah, finishing fourth

8
00:00:30,347 --> 00:00:34,227
Speaker 3: on the metal tally speaks of a number of things

9
00:00:34,227 --> 00:00:37,467
Speaker 3: going right. And yeah, you know it wasn't the I

10
00:00:37,547 --> 00:00:40,107
Speaker 3: think John Coates, who's a heavy hitter with the AOC,

11
00:00:40,667 --> 00:00:43,107
Speaker 3: said before, oh yeah, we can win up to sixty medals.

12
00:00:43,107 --> 00:00:46,867
Speaker 3: We didn't quite get there, but happily we converted a

13
00:00:46,907 --> 00:00:50,227
Speaker 3: lot to actually winning, as opposed to the US, who

14
00:00:50,587 --> 00:00:52,427
Speaker 3: made a habit of finishing second and third in that

15
00:00:52,467 --> 00:00:54,547
Speaker 3: first week, but got things going to finish on top.

16
00:00:54,627 --> 00:01:01,147
Speaker 3: But overall, there weren't too many Australian stories of disappointment

17
00:01:02,067 --> 00:01:04,827
Speaker 3: or missing out or not performing at their absolute best,

18
00:01:04,827 --> 00:01:07,707
Speaker 3: apart from one that's got all kinds of debate, which

19
00:01:07,707 --> 00:01:10,587
Speaker 3: we'll get to in a second, but aside from that,

20
00:01:10,787 --> 00:01:15,387
Speaker 3: it was pretty much a tale of athletes coming home

21
00:01:15,387 --> 00:01:17,747
Speaker 3: with big spots on their face because they would fall

22
00:01:17,827 --> 00:01:22,467
Speaker 3: to expectations like good example being the seventh program, the

23
00:01:22,507 --> 00:01:25,667
Speaker 3: Rugby seventh, the hockey program, both men and women falling

24
00:01:25,667 --> 00:01:27,387
Speaker 3: out a little short of a metal where they wanted to.

25
00:01:27,467 --> 00:01:30,907
Speaker 3: But across the board there were some fantastic performances and results.

26
00:01:30,987 --> 00:01:32,627
Speaker 2: Yeah, every time we looked up on the screen, that

27
00:01:32,667 --> 00:01:35,147
Speaker 2: seemed that there was somebody in green and gold somewhere

28
00:01:35,187 --> 00:01:37,187
Speaker 2: near the top of the podium. The Australian though, who,

29
00:01:37,187 --> 00:01:39,547
Speaker 2: as you say, went viral probably more than any other,

30
00:01:39,667 --> 00:01:43,507
Speaker 2: was Raygun your breakdancer. Where does the weight of public

31
00:01:43,547 --> 00:01:46,227
Speaker 2: opinion fall with regards to her?

32
00:01:47,027 --> 00:01:49,587
Speaker 3: Yes, a few people getting strangely fired up about this

33
00:01:49,587 --> 00:01:51,827
Speaker 3: because I wouldn't have thought that their day to day,

34
00:01:53,867 --> 00:01:57,227
Speaker 3: their day to day being was centered around being critical

35
00:01:57,467 --> 00:02:00,907
Speaker 3: or praising of break dancing. But that's where we're at

36
00:02:00,907 --> 00:02:05,027
Speaker 3: at the moment. Everyone's got an opinion. My personal opinion

37
00:02:05,147 --> 00:02:07,547
Speaker 3: is that she's just the product of the process that

38
00:02:07,667 --> 00:02:09,347
Speaker 3: was in place, and if you're going to blame anything,

39
00:02:09,427 --> 00:02:13,947
Speaker 3: blame the process. If you're unhappy about someone getting through. Look,

40
00:02:14,187 --> 00:02:16,307
Speaker 3: I'm going my girls are in dance, so I'm going

41
00:02:16,347 --> 00:02:18,707
Speaker 3: to a night tonight, which is a hip hop theme

42
00:02:19,147 --> 00:02:20,747
Speaker 3: I'm sure as he'll not getting out of a seat,

43
00:02:20,787 --> 00:02:24,707
Speaker 3: by the way, and I'm going to see some unbelievable

44
00:02:24,747 --> 00:02:28,147
Speaker 3: I know, I'm going to see some incredible dancing. Especially

45
00:02:29,507 --> 00:02:31,547
Speaker 3: there's some troops out from the west of Sydney which

46
00:02:31,707 --> 00:02:35,667
Speaker 3: just blow your mind every time you say it. Maybe

47
00:02:35,707 --> 00:02:38,507
Speaker 3: they might have been the go. Maybe one or one

48
00:02:38,547 --> 00:02:40,267
Speaker 3: or two representatives from there might have been the go

49
00:02:40,467 --> 00:02:44,107
Speaker 3: rather than someone who saw the process converted through the process,

50
00:02:44,707 --> 00:02:47,867
Speaker 3: didn't do anything untowards you, just kind of let get

51
00:02:47,867 --> 00:02:52,867
Speaker 3: everything by the book, cutting at her personality and everything

52
00:02:52,907 --> 00:02:55,587
Speaker 3: like that is or with out of order. In my opinion,

53
00:02:55,667 --> 00:02:58,027
Speaker 3: she's just done it because she could. She didn't.

54
00:02:58,467 --> 00:03:00,147
Speaker 2: I feel like there needs to be a father daughter

55
00:03:00,427 --> 00:03:03,667
Speaker 2: segment that there's dance recital you're going to tonight. I

56
00:03:03,667 --> 00:03:05,907
Speaker 2: feel like there needs to be some video footage of

57
00:03:05,907 --> 00:03:06,347
Speaker 2: that as well.

58
00:03:06,347 --> 00:03:10,547
Speaker 3: Well. Yeah, strangely, Omalia might might find herself with a

59
00:03:10,587 --> 00:03:15,947
Speaker 3: new father all of a sudden. I'm press playing the music.

60
00:03:16,107 --> 00:03:16,707
Speaker 3: That's about it.

61
00:03:18,427 --> 00:03:21,067
Speaker 2: We're reading from the same page there. Let's go to Perth,

62
00:03:21,227 --> 00:03:23,907
Speaker 2: the center of the Australian sporting universe this weekend Wallaby

63
00:03:23,947 --> 00:03:27,147
Speaker 2: spring Box Tonight, spring Box one thirty three seven last

64
00:03:27,147 --> 00:03:29,547
Speaker 2: week in the first Test. How confident are you the

65
00:03:29,547 --> 00:03:32,227
Speaker 2: Wallabies can reverse that across in Western Australia.

66
00:03:33,067 --> 00:03:36,987
Speaker 3: We'll be more confident about my dancing ability. They're not

67
00:03:37,787 --> 00:03:40,867
Speaker 3: great Piney South having you were good and they'll get better.

68
00:03:41,787 --> 00:03:45,147
Speaker 3: We know, I mean you guys have probably know that

69
00:03:45,147 --> 00:03:48,187
Speaker 3: there's there's room for little improvement which might change the

70
00:03:48,227 --> 00:03:50,587
Speaker 3: result the Wallabies in one week. I've got to make

71
00:03:50,627 --> 00:03:52,867
Speaker 3: big improvement and you're there say that South Africa actually

72
00:03:52,907 --> 00:03:55,987
Speaker 3: going to improve off that. So they got destroyed in

73
00:03:56,027 --> 00:03:59,787
Speaker 3: the set piece and all of that. So it's going

74
00:03:59,867 --> 00:04:03,147
Speaker 3: to take something extra special. But I think there's one

75
00:04:03,187 --> 00:04:05,787
Speaker 3: of these hands over here. We're a little bit patient

76
00:04:05,787 --> 00:04:09,227
Speaker 3: at the moment. You can see that this improvement is

77
00:04:09,227 --> 00:04:13,147
Speaker 3: going to have to come over years, not months, not weeks,

78
00:04:13,547 --> 00:04:17,147
Speaker 3: and as long as there's some more rays of hope

79
00:04:17,187 --> 00:04:19,187
Speaker 3: like they were towards the end last week. And I

80
00:04:19,307 --> 00:04:23,307
Speaker 3: know I'm clutching here, but I think they're playing the

81
00:04:23,347 --> 00:04:25,147
Speaker 3: longer they've got to play, the longer they've got no option.

82
00:04:26,107 --> 00:04:28,427
Speaker 3: I do believe that for every Test match, Australia players

83
00:04:28,467 --> 00:04:30,267
Speaker 3: and have long held this belief that rugby is so

84
00:04:30,347 --> 00:04:32,227
Speaker 3: big now and with the money on offer in Europe.

85
00:04:32,347 --> 00:04:34,627
Speaker 3: You need to be calling back your best every week,

86
00:04:34,747 --> 00:04:36,227
Speaker 3: every time the wall of is player. You've got to

87
00:04:36,227 --> 00:04:38,387
Speaker 3: be calling back your best. That means your camps are

88
00:04:38,387 --> 00:04:40,227
Speaker 3: going to be a higher overstandard. Then you pick your

89
00:04:40,227 --> 00:04:42,147
Speaker 3: super RUPI guys, and they're going to be surrounded by

90
00:04:42,387 --> 00:04:44,427
Speaker 3: the best of the best who have already gone overseas.

91
00:04:44,707 --> 00:04:47,347
Speaker 3: None of this, I'll just select the local use that's

92
00:04:47,347 --> 00:04:50,307
Speaker 3: going to end. So whether or not that happens underfield

93
00:04:50,307 --> 00:04:52,947
Speaker 3: war that the management of rugby Astralia. It makes me seen.

94
00:04:52,987 --> 00:04:55,827
Speaker 3: But you're hoping for something a little bit better than

95
00:04:55,907 --> 00:04:58,627
Speaker 3: last week, but not holding much I do.

96
00:04:58,747 --> 00:05:01,707
Speaker 2: I know exactly what you mean. And then tomorrow, same city,

97
00:05:01,907 --> 00:05:04,707
Speaker 2: UFC three oh five the Octagon, Beck and Perth for

98
00:05:04,707 --> 00:05:08,347
Speaker 2: a second straight year, a fight eight Australians in action

99
00:05:08,747 --> 00:05:11,667
Speaker 2: as UFC got cut through over in Australia.

100
00:05:12,227 --> 00:05:14,307
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, they keep on coming down here.

101
00:05:14,347 --> 00:05:17,147
Speaker 3: I think they signed a deal to do in Sydney

102
00:05:18,507 --> 00:05:21,507
Speaker 3: over four years, to do three big pay per view events.

103
00:05:21,467 --> 00:05:24,627
Speaker 3: These are these monthly every six week excoaganza that the

104
00:05:24,707 --> 00:05:26,307
Speaker 3: UFC put on. I think that up for three oh

105
00:05:26,347 --> 00:05:29,227
Speaker 3: five over there in Perth, Key we're interest of course,

106
00:05:29,347 --> 00:05:33,227
Speaker 3: the great Israel Adasanya up against Dude Pussi, the South

107
00:05:33,267 --> 00:05:36,667
Speaker 3: African champ, and oh we've got a bit nasty. We

108
00:05:36,787 --> 00:05:39,947
Speaker 3: know these things in the fight game, in combat sports,

109
00:05:39,947 --> 00:05:42,467
Speaker 3: that they do anything they can to say, anything they

110
00:05:42,507 --> 00:05:45,867
Speaker 3: can to spike Interestful they've done it. But I think

111
00:05:45,867 --> 00:05:50,107
Speaker 3: this was beyond the pale a bit when when Duke

112
00:05:50,147 --> 00:05:52,627
Speaker 3: Plus how to go at Adasanya about going back to

113
00:05:52,667 --> 00:05:55,067
Speaker 3: Africa and you're going to take your servants in Adsagia

114
00:05:55,507 --> 00:05:57,987
Speaker 3: took it the way you might expect a man of

115
00:05:58,027 --> 00:06:02,227
Speaker 3: proud African heritage to take it, you know what I mean. So, yeah,

116
00:06:02,267 --> 00:06:04,587
Speaker 3: he got into him a bit. But whether that manifests

117
00:06:04,627 --> 00:06:07,147
Speaker 3: himself they do anything underward in the ring, I'll be

118
00:06:07,147 --> 00:06:09,627
Speaker 3: gone tomorrow, I doubt it. But yeah, it is the

119
00:06:09,707 --> 00:06:12,187
Speaker 3: over massive over here, and they make a stack of

120
00:06:12,227 --> 00:06:15,307
Speaker 3: money every time they come here, and they'll probably continue.

121
00:06:14,947 --> 00:06:17,747
Speaker 2: To do so indeed, And why not got on your mate, Hey,

122
