We I love it him. 235 00:12:09,147 --> 00:12:11,507 Speaker 2: And maybe that is part of the secret that if 236 00:12:11,547 --> 00:12:14,747 Speaker 2: you do get too intense and you start really, you know, 237 00:12:14,947 --> 00:12:17,427 Speaker 2: tying yourself up in knots, maybe that's where things all 238 00:12:17,427 --> 00:12:20,107 Speaker 2: fall apart. That certainly didn't look to be the case 239 00:12:20,107 --> 00:12:22,867 Speaker 2: with Maddi Wishy this morning. Delighted to see her pick 240 00:12:22,947 --> 00:12:26,587 Speaker 2: up a medal and continue the amazing record that Dame 241 00:12:26,667 --> 00:12:30,867 Speaker 2: Valerie Adams had medals in two thousand and eight, twenty twelve, 242 00:12:30,907 --> 00:12:34,107 Speaker 2: twenty sixteen, and in twenty twenty one, and now Maddie 243 00:12:34,107 --> 00:12:36,987 Speaker 2: Wishy as well. So somebody said earlier in the week 244 00:12:37,027 --> 00:12:39,427 Speaker 2: to me when Tom Walsh and Jack O'Gill didn't get 245 00:12:39,467 --> 00:12:41,507 Speaker 2: on the podium in the men's shop port, oh, it's 246 00:12:41,507 --> 00:12:43,467 Speaker 2: going to be the first Olympics for a while. We 247 00:12:43,547 --> 00:12:45,107 Speaker 2: haven't had somebody on the shop pot part in me. 248 00:12:45,147 --> 00:12:48,267 Speaker 2: I said, hey, don't forget about Maddi Wishy. Am I 249 00:12:48,307 --> 00:12:50,187 Speaker 2: going to say that now? Hindsight it's a wonderful thing, 250 00:12:50,707 --> 00:12:53,947 Speaker 2: but man, how good? Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. 251 00:12:54,307 --> 00:12:58,307 Speaker 2: The only thing about this morning. The final throw of 252 00:12:58,307 --> 00:13:00,427 Speaker 2: Maddi wishy. I thought it had gone out to twenty meters. 253 00:13:01,107 --> 00:13:06,107 Speaker 2: I don't It was the angle of the camera when 254 00:13:06,147 --> 00:13:09,187 Speaker 2: she threw it, because we knew that the German who 255 00:13:09,227 --> 00:13:12,987 Speaker 2: won the who won it, had thrown exactly twenty meters, 256 00:13:13,187 --> 00:13:15,347 Speaker 2: and there was the tape on the ground that showed 257 00:13:15,347 --> 00:13:19,467 Speaker 2: you that showed you that that where the twenty meter 258 00:13:19,547 --> 00:13:23,467 Speaker 2: mark was when she threw it out. I was certain 259 00:13:23,507 --> 00:13:26,787 Speaker 2: it had gone beyond twenty meters just from the camera angle. 260 00:13:29,107 --> 00:13:31,227 Speaker 2: I just got a text her about that from Brett Jason. 261 00:13:31,267 --> 00:13:33,307 Speaker 2: Was Maddy robbed in the shot put? I know the 262 00:13:33,347 --> 00:13:35,907 Speaker 2: camera work wasn't great, but her last throw was clearly 263 00:13:35,987 --> 00:13:39,667 Speaker 2: more than nineteen sixt eight. It looked much closer to twenty, 264 00:13:39,707 --> 00:13:42,307 Speaker 2: while the Germans one looked short of twenty. Brett, I'm 265 00:13:42,307 --> 00:13:45,907 Speaker 2: almost positive that the measurements are right. It just looked. 266 00:13:46,107 --> 00:13:48,227 Speaker 2: I just got quite excited when I saw that last 267 00:13:48,227 --> 00:13:51,267 Speaker 2: throw because with her fifth throw she had to go 268 00:13:51,347 --> 00:13:55,187 Speaker 2: past what the German competitor had thrown. With her fifth throw, 269 00:13:55,507 --> 00:13:58,267 Speaker 2: she'd taken the gold medal position. All of a sudden 270 00:13:59,067 --> 00:14:02,387 Speaker 2: outcomes Maddie wish she and throws this huge personal best 271 00:14:02,427 --> 00:14:05,747 Speaker 2: and goes back into the lead. But yeah, not to be. 272 00:14:05,867 --> 00:14:08,787 Speaker 2: But I just was enthralled by it, absolutely enthralled by 273 00:14:08,827 --> 00:14:11,067 Speaker 2: it as I will be, I'm sure by Hamish Kerr 274 00:14:11,067 --> 00:14:14,227 Speaker 2: in the high jump tomorrow.

Six eagles come on, 280 00:14:31,307 --> 00:14:34,627 Speaker 2: says Ian, so many high irons onto the green for 281 00:14:34,667 --> 00:14:38,067 Speaker 2: the second shot, And I sort of agree. I know 282 00:14:38,227 --> 00:14:41,027 Speaker 2: there were a lot of red numbers when the men played, 283 00:14:41,787 --> 00:14:44,027 Speaker 2: but it was I think the first day of the 284 00:14:44,027 --> 00:14:48,587 Speaker 2: women's golf. It wasn't that way. They are starting to 285 00:14:48,587 --> 00:14:52,827 Speaker 2: shoot lower numbers now. Yeah, I guess you know, you 286 00:14:52,867 --> 00:14:55,387 Speaker 2: play what's in front of you, don't you.

Not cheap, but yeah, 332 00:17:07,627 --> 00:17:10,507 Speaker 2: I would have liked for it to have been a 333 00:17:10,587 --> 00:17:14,427 Speaker 2: little bit more heavily populated. I heard I heard yesterday. 334 00:17:14,427 --> 00:17:16,787 Speaker 2: I think it was twenty five thousand. That is low. 335 00:17:17,387 --> 00:17:19,067 Speaker 2: That's low for an all Blacks test. What's the weather 336 00:17:19,187 --> 00:17:21,427 Speaker 2: like in Wellington today? Normally I could tell you myself 337 00:17:21,427 --> 00:17:22,867 Speaker 2: that I'm in Auckland at the moment, so you know 338 00:17:22,867 --> 00:17:24,867 Speaker 2: on Wellington. Just give us an idea of the forecast 339 00:17:25,907 --> 00:17:28,667 Speaker 2: or the current conditions, Like if you were going to 340 00:17:28,747 --> 00:17:31,907 Speaker 2: walk up tonight, would the weather be conducive to that? 341 00:17:32,147 --> 00:17:36,587 Speaker 2: Nine two ninety two. Someone Glean says, someone needs to 342 00:17:36,627 --> 00:17:39,427 Speaker 2: tell the crowd not to clap everything at the Gulf. 343 00:17:40,307 --> 00:17:43,387 Speaker 2: Clapping a triple bogey isn't a good look, Thanks, Glenn. 344 00:17:43,587 --> 00:17:47,987 Speaker 2: I think they're offering encouragement. Phil, Rhythmic gymnastics has been 345 00:17:48,027 --> 00:17:48,747 Speaker 2: top of your mind. 346 00:17:50,067 --> 00:17:53,347 Speaker 13: Well, you're just just on the down low pointing. We 347 00:17:53,387 --> 00:17:55,187 Speaker 13: don't want too many people to know, you. 348 00:17:55,147 --> 00:17:58,027 Speaker 2: Know, well, I mean, well Tony, it's Tony, you and 349 00:17:58,067 --> 00:18:00,387 Speaker 2: I chatting Phil. There might be the odd person listening in, 350 00:18:00,467 --> 00:18:02,787 Speaker 2: you know, oh his cross fingers. 351 00:18:04,867 --> 00:18:07,707 Speaker 13: No, No, I was watching the the Olympics last night 352 00:18:07,787 --> 00:18:09,827 Speaker 13: and I was just watching what was on, you know, 353 00:18:10,187 --> 00:18:14,667 Speaker 13: and the old rhythmic gymestics come on and I started 354 00:18:14,827 --> 00:18:17,187 Speaker 13: watching it and I just kept watching it because I 355 00:18:17,347 --> 00:18:20,907 Speaker 13: just I was just blowing away by the skill of 356 00:18:21,347 --> 00:18:24,867 Speaker 13: these women, you know, that these poor women, and they're 357 00:18:24,867 --> 00:18:27,227 Speaker 13: doing this routine to this music, and they're throwing these 358 00:18:27,267 --> 00:18:30,187 Speaker 13: ribbons away up in the air and these and these balls, 359 00:18:30,227 --> 00:18:32,627 Speaker 13: and they're catching them, you know, half way across from 360 00:18:32,667 --> 00:18:34,867 Speaker 13: one side to the other of the mat sort of thing, 361 00:18:34,867 --> 00:18:37,027 Speaker 13: and they're catching them in their feet, you know, behind 362 00:18:37,067 --> 00:18:40,307 Speaker 13: their back without looking. And I'm just sitting there thinking, 363 00:18:40,867 --> 00:18:42,867 Speaker 13: Jesus Christ, this is amazing. 364 00:18:42,947 --> 00:18:47,187 Speaker 2: They are amazing, Phil They are amazing. And yeah, I'm 365 00:18:47,227 --> 00:18:50,027 Speaker 2: the same with those because they've got the ball, haven't they, 366 00:18:50,067 --> 00:18:52,947 Speaker 2: and the hoop and the and what are the things 367 00:18:52,947 --> 00:18:55,547 Speaker 2: called that they don't like tenpin bowling pins that they 368 00:18:55,587 --> 00:18:58,147 Speaker 2: throw up. That's probably not the name for them. But 369 00:18:58,187 --> 00:19:00,387 Speaker 2: you're right, they hardly ever dropped them, do they? 370 00:19:01,427 --> 00:19:01,667 Speaker 14: Yeah? 371 00:19:01,827 --> 00:19:04,547 Speaker 13: Not very often? Like last night there was a I 372 00:19:04,587 --> 00:19:07,747 Speaker 13: think there was the little stuff by one or two, 373 00:19:07,787 --> 00:19:10,587 Speaker 13: but on the whole, you know, like ninety one percent 374 00:19:10,587 --> 00:19:12,587 Speaker 13: of the time they caught them. And I thrown these 375 00:19:12,627 --> 00:19:15,067 Speaker 13: things all way up in the air, and I just thought, 376 00:19:15,107 --> 00:19:17,427 Speaker 13: you know, if you just sort of if you just 377 00:19:17,427 --> 00:19:19,867 Speaker 13: think about how hard it is just to throw something 378 00:19:19,907 --> 00:19:24,107 Speaker 13: and catch something just normally, you know, I just yeah, 379 00:19:24,147 --> 00:19:26,267 Speaker 13: I just thought, I've got a whole new appreciation for 380 00:19:26,307 --> 00:19:29,107 Speaker 13: this does just blow me away. But even there was 381 00:19:29,147 --> 00:19:33,187 Speaker 13: one girl that even at the start at the routine, 382 00:19:33,267 --> 00:19:37,147 Speaker 13: she actually injured herself, like twisted her ankle or something 383 00:19:37,187 --> 00:19:40,147 Speaker 13: like that, but she carried on as best she couldn't 384 00:19:40,187 --> 00:19:43,907 Speaker 13: done the whole completed the whole routine, and if you 385 00:19:43,987 --> 00:19:46,667 Speaker 13: didn't see that she had injured herself, you know, it 386 00:19:46,707 --> 00:19:48,307 Speaker 13: would have been hard to even know that she had 387 00:19:48,347 --> 00:19:51,827 Speaker 13: injured herself. But you know, that's got some toughness there 388 00:19:51,867 --> 00:19:55,027 Speaker 13: when she's fighting carrying on and she doesn't let the 389 00:19:55,027 --> 00:19:57,267 Speaker 13: team down, but she's fighting through the pain of an 390 00:19:57,347 --> 00:20:01,187 Speaker 13: injury that she's just got. But yeah, I just yeah, 391 00:20:01,187 --> 00:20:04,427 Speaker 13: I just I was just blowing away, you know, by 392 00:20:04,907 --> 00:20:05,787 Speaker 13: that skill level. 393 00:20:05,867 --> 00:20:08,867 Speaker 2: But yeah, it's just one of many things that have 394 00:20:08,907 --> 00:20:10,787 Speaker 2: blown me away these last two weeks. Felt I have 395 00:20:10,867 --> 00:20:14,667 Speaker 2: to say, you know, the incredible skill not just in 396 00:20:14,747 --> 00:20:18,627 Speaker 2: sports like the gymnastics, but even things like the canoe 397 00:20:19,427 --> 00:20:22,667 Speaker 2: kayak cross with the way that they You know, they 398 00:20:22,867 --> 00:20:24,627 Speaker 2: go down the river and turn back up again and 399 00:20:24,987 --> 00:20:27,867 Speaker 2: just maneuver themselves around in the white water rapids. I mean, 400 00:20:27,947 --> 00:20:30,107 Speaker 2: most of us would would find it difficult to stay 401 00:20:30,147 --> 00:20:36,507 Speaker 2: upright on flat water, let alone, you know, those rushing 402 00:20:36,587 --> 00:20:38,627 Speaker 2: rapids and then trying to turn back up stream and 403 00:20:38,667 --> 00:20:41,827 Speaker 2: at the same time battle against other kayaks that are there. 404 00:20:42,107 --> 00:20:44,067 Speaker 2: There are so many sports that just have an incredible 405 00:20:44,067 --> 00:20:47,787 Speaker 2: amount of score. The sport climbing has anybody has anybody 406 00:20:47,787 --> 00:20:53,947 Speaker 2: been watching the climbing that is unbelievable to get upper wall, 407 00:20:54,347 --> 00:20:56,867 Speaker 2: a fifteen meter wall and what was it four point 408 00:20:56,987 --> 00:21:01,187 Speaker 2: seven seconds? Most of us can't run fifteen meters on 409 00:21:01,227 --> 00:21:04,587 Speaker 2: the flat in four point seven seconds. Here these guys 410 00:21:04,627 --> 00:21:06,667 Speaker 2: are climbing up the water. Who had a great descript 411 00:21:07,707 --> 00:21:11,427 Speaker 2: from one of our commentators, Andrew Alderson. He said they're 412 00:21:11,467 --> 00:21:14,507 Speaker 2: like demented spiders, and he meant it in a good way, 413 00:21:15,387 --> 00:21:18,027 Speaker 2: means it in a very good way. But they are incredible, 414 00:21:18,067 --> 00:21:20,467 Speaker 2: and that has that's been a sport that has just 415 00:21:21,147 --> 00:21:25,267 Speaker 2: captured the imagination. It's been sold out every day because 416 00:21:25,307 --> 00:21:27,267 Speaker 2: there's a speed climbing and then the other one's called 417 00:21:27,267 --> 00:21:28,947 Speaker 2: the bouldering. When They've got to sort of work their 418 00:21:28,987 --> 00:21:31,547 Speaker 2: way round a wall with lots of different sort of 419 00:21:31,627 --> 00:21:36,107 Speaker 2: footholds and obstacles, and they sort of climbed their way round. 420 00:21:36,147 --> 00:21:39,707 Speaker 2: But the speed climbing just utterly incredible, how quick they 421 00:21:39,707 --> 00:21:43,987 Speaker 2: can get up. Magnificent stuff. Wheather's fine and upper heart pinty. 422 00:21:43,987 --> 00:21:46,227 Speaker 2: Condition should be good for the game Wellington where this 423 00:21:46,347 --> 00:21:48,987 Speaker 2: is Michael twelve tonight, it's seventh the moment partly cloudy 424 00:21:48,987 --> 00:21:51,507 Speaker 2: with a shower or two until late afternoon. Southerly's dying 425 00:21:51,547 --> 00:21:53,267 Speaker 2: out this afternoon. Michael, that sounds like you've gone to 426 00:21:53,347 --> 00:21:56,707 Speaker 2: the met service website. It's good though the stadium's not cold, 427 00:21:56,707 --> 00:21:59,387 Speaker 2: says Peter. Stupid comment. Wellington has a better weather the 428 00:21:59,467 --> 00:22:02,187 Speaker 2: record for rugby than Auckland, christ Church and to Eden. 429 00:22:02,787 --> 00:22:04,427 Speaker 2: Thank you, Peter. I'm a walk up for the rugby, 430 00:22:04,427 --> 00:22:07,587 Speaker 2: says Andy. Looks good tonight, so why not going to 431 00:22:07,667 --> 00:22:10,427 Speaker 2: cruise down from the carpety coast although there is a 432 00:22:10,507 --> 00:22:12,947 Speaker 2: type of hair and it says the cavity coast, but 433 00:22:12,987 --> 00:22:15,387 Speaker 2: I think you mean the carpety coast. Come here and 434 00:22:15,427 --> 00:22:17,947 Speaker 2: Willie says, Andrea can't wait. Should be good conditions. We're 435 00:22:17,987 --> 00:22:20,027 Speaker 2: the good for the cakes and breezy. But Sonny says 436 00:22:20,027 --> 00:22:29,507 Speaker 2: this one whether it's fine in Wellington. I'm just trying 437 00:22:29,547 --> 00:22:31,267 Speaker 2: to read these as I'm on the air. Am I 438 00:22:31,307 --> 00:22:33,307 Speaker 2: chatting to Am I chatting to Willie. No, no, okay, 439 00:22:33,907 --> 00:22:35,507 Speaker 2: will he's just called to have a chatter Andy, which 440 00:22:35,547 --> 00:22:38,507 Speaker 2: he does occasionally. I've been loving the Olympics, says this one. 441 00:22:39,387 --> 00:22:41,787 Speaker 2: But there's definitely something special about seeing the golden moments 442 00:22:41,827 --> 00:22:45,067 Speaker 2: live rather than on catch up. Yeah, it is difficult 443 00:22:45,067 --> 00:22:49,507 Speaker 2: when they're at rather uncivilized hours. Although the kayaking last 444 00:22:49,587 --> 00:22:53,387 Speaker 2: night was sort of mid evening, wasn't it? And then 445 00:22:54,227 --> 00:22:56,307 Speaker 2: Maddie was she this morning was a little bit earlier. 446 00:22:57,267 --> 00:22:59,987 Speaker 2: Lisa Carrington's amazing, says Helen. But you can't you can't 447 00:23:00,067 --> 00:23:02,787 Speaker 2: use the number of medals as a guide. She gets 448 00:23:02,827 --> 00:23:06,707 Speaker 2: to compete in multiple events. Others are one and done. Yeah, 449 00:23:06,707 --> 00:23:10,867 Speaker 2: it's an interesting argument that that she is in multiple 450 00:23:10,987 --> 00:23:18,667 Speaker 2: different different events, because I think there was one Olympics 451 00:23:18,667 --> 00:23:21,467 Speaker 2: where she was in four was it the last one? 452 00:23:22,347 --> 00:23:24,547 Speaker 2: K one two hundred, which is no longer there K 453 00:23:24,587 --> 00:23:27,307 Speaker 2: one five hundred, K two five hundred, K four five hundred, 454 00:23:27,627 --> 00:23:30,547 Speaker 2: so she had four chances last time. You still got 455 00:23:30,627 --> 00:23:32,707 Speaker 2: to win the medals, they don't you, and they dominated 456 00:23:32,787 --> 00:23:34,627 Speaker 2: last night. Those two they are. 457 00:23:34,627 --> 00:23:39,907 Speaker 15: Six meters ahead. Oh, they're flying the Kiwi crew. There 458 00:23:39,987 --> 00:23:45,587 Speaker 15: is no stopping Charrington and Hoskin. They are heading for 459 00:23:45,707 --> 00:23:49,827 Speaker 15: the finish line and they are miles ahead of the opposition. 460 00:23:50,787 --> 00:23:54,107 Speaker 15: Charrington and Hoskin a boat length and a. 461 00:23:54,067 --> 00:23:57,387 Speaker 2: Half lead New Zealand Gold. 462 00:23:58,747 --> 00:24:04,467 Speaker 15: Two golds in two days for the Dynamic Duo and 463 00:24:04,507 --> 00:24:09,147 Speaker 15: the legacy of goat in the boat just gets bigger 464 00:24:09,187 --> 00:24:09,867 Speaker 15: by the race. 465 00:24:10,227 --> 00:24:14,267 Speaker 2: Here are some thoughts of the Dynamic Duo afterwards Alicia Hoskin. 466 00:24:14,347 --> 00:24:15,907 Speaker 2: First of all, how did they pull out such a 467 00:24:15,947 --> 00:24:16,547 Speaker 2: dominant win? 468 00:24:17,187 --> 00:24:19,627 Speaker 16: Yeah, I guess we went in with a plan, We 469 00:24:19,667 --> 00:24:21,827 Speaker 16: went in with a strategy, and we just had to 470 00:24:21,867 --> 00:24:23,667 Speaker 16: put a lot of trust in that and a lot 471 00:24:23,707 --> 00:24:24,267 Speaker 16: of trust. 472 00:24:24,107 --> 00:24:24,627 Speaker 6: In each other. 473 00:24:25,027 --> 00:24:27,987 Speaker 16: So all that was going through my head was just trust, trust, 474 00:24:28,027 --> 00:24:31,907 Speaker 16: stay calm, stay calm, trust our process and our preparation. 475 00:24:33,307 --> 00:24:35,467 Speaker 16: So yeah, when it came to the back end, our 476 00:24:35,467 --> 00:24:38,507 Speaker 16: body started hurting and the water is super bouncy at 477 00:24:38,547 --> 00:24:41,067 Speaker 16: the back end, So we were just really putting a 478 00:24:41,067 --> 00:24:43,787 Speaker 16: lot of trust in our technique and our preparation, and yeah, 479 00:24:43,867 --> 00:24:45,667 Speaker 16: a lot of heart went into that had a really 480 00:24:45,667 --> 00:24:46,427 Speaker 16: good time together. 481 00:24:46,667 --> 00:24:49,787 Speaker 2: And what about Dame Lisa Carrington? What made the performance 482 00:24:49,787 --> 00:24:50,707 Speaker 2: so dominant for her? 483 00:24:51,027 --> 00:24:51,787 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean. 484 00:24:51,627 --> 00:24:55,787 Speaker 17: That's what's amazing about the K two I think is that, 485 00:24:56,347 --> 00:24:57,427 Speaker 17: you know, we just had a plan. 486 00:24:57,947 --> 00:24:59,587 Speaker 6: We just stuck to our strategy. 487 00:24:59,267 --> 00:25:02,307 Speaker 17: Our strengths, and I guess at the end of the day, 488 00:25:02,347 --> 00:25:04,467 Speaker 17: it's kind of the performance that we can put together 489 00:25:04,547 --> 00:25:08,787 Speaker 17: and and I guess the field is there to help 490 00:25:08,827 --> 00:25:10,627 Speaker 17: push us. But it was just amazing that we could 491 00:25:10,667 --> 00:25:14,107 Speaker 17: pull out that performance and under pressure, meeting the moment 492 00:25:14,867 --> 00:25:16,747 Speaker 17: and making sure that we did everything we could to 493 00:25:16,747 --> 00:25:17,867 Speaker 17: make it the best race possible. 494 00:25:18,787 --> 00:25:20,827 Speaker 2: Patty says Piney, how can you even talk the hours 495 00:25:20,827 --> 00:25:25,547 Speaker 2: you've done over the games. Well, some would argue that regardless, 496 00:25:25,667 --> 00:25:27,867 Speaker 2: if I've had a decent night's sleep, Patty would still 497 00:25:27,907 --> 00:25:30,227 Speaker 2: be the same. I have enjoyed it, though started to 498 00:25:30,307 --> 00:25:31,747 Speaker 2: run on fumes a little bit, But as long as 499 00:25:31,747 --> 00:25:34,787 Speaker 2: you get a sleeping at some stage, you're okay. Glenn says, 500 00:25:34,787 --> 00:25:37,307 Speaker 2: I'm wondering if anyone else thought as I did that 501 00:25:37,347 --> 00:25:39,587 Speaker 2: our shop put to Maddie wish she threw over twenty 502 00:25:39,627 --> 00:25:42,107 Speaker 2: with her last throw, and that the person measured it 503 00:25:42,147 --> 00:25:44,787 Speaker 2: from the wrong dent in the ground. Glenn, I'm sure 504 00:25:44,787 --> 00:25:47,987 Speaker 2: that's not true. I'm almost positive that that is not 505 00:25:48,107 --> 00:25:51,267 Speaker 2: the case. These officials are there. I just think it's 506 00:25:51,267 --> 00:25:54,467 Speaker 2: the camera angle. I think it's a really bad angle 507 00:25:54,627 --> 00:26:00,227 Speaker 2: on Maddie Wishy's last throw. You know, I'd like to 508 00:26:00,227 --> 00:26:02,867 Speaker 2: think that there was something greater at play here, but 509 00:26:03,147 --> 00:26:06,307 Speaker 2: because because when she threw it and when the camp 510 00:26:06,587 --> 00:26:09,107 Speaker 2: went from her throwing it to where it landed. Like 511 00:26:09,147 --> 00:26:11,267 Speaker 2: I say, it's just a bad angle. It looks as 512 00:26:11,307 --> 00:26:13,787 Speaker 2: though it's gone twenty meters. I thought it had, but 513 00:26:13,867 --> 00:26:18,787 Speaker 2: as it turned out, what nineteen sixty eight? Yeah, Look, 514 00:26:19,027 --> 00:26:21,187 Speaker 2: the officials are there on the ground. I'm pretty sure 515 00:26:21,187 --> 00:26:24,747 Speaker 2: they're not measuring the wrong dent, and if they were, 516 00:26:24,947 --> 00:26:27,347 Speaker 2: I'm fairly sure that somebody from the New Zealand team 517 00:26:27,347 --> 00:26:29,187 Speaker 2: would point that out to them. Dave, She's pony. To 518 00:26:29,227 --> 00:26:33,027 Speaker 2: gold medals are to golf medals count towards the Hall 519 00:26:33,107 --> 00:26:36,027 Speaker 2: of Fame points? Would a gold give Lydia the points 520 00:26:36,027 --> 00:26:41,027 Speaker 2: she needs? Dave know? Unfortunately unfortunately that's not the case. Yeah, 521 00:26:41,067 --> 00:26:43,347 Speaker 2: she needs that one more win, doesn't she to get 522 00:26:43,387 --> 00:26:45,907 Speaker 2: into the Golf Hall of Fame? A golf major I 523 00:26:45,907 --> 00:26:49,507 Speaker 2: think is what she needs. And no, a gold medal 524 00:26:49,587 --> 00:26:53,147 Speaker 2: does not count unfortunately, so it would just be something 525 00:26:53,147 --> 00:26:54,867 Speaker 2: which is a nice to have, not a must have. 526 00:26:54,987 --> 00:26:57,667 Speaker 2: As far as the as the Hall of Famous concerned, 527 00:26:57,707 --> 00:27:01,427 Speaker 2: Janis is Jason, I discovered bouldering this Olympics absolutely awestruck 528 00:27:01,827 --> 00:27:06,307 Speaker 2: with their ability. Janie same, And that's what the Olympics does. 529 00:27:06,347 --> 00:27:08,307 Speaker 2: It gives you the opportunity to watch sports that you 530 00:27:08,627 --> 00:27:11,507 Speaker 2: are not familiar with, have never heard of, have never 531 00:27:11,587 --> 00:27:15,147 Speaker 2: seen done at such a high level, would normally never 532 00:27:15,187 --> 00:27:18,307 Speaker 2: make it onto our television screens or into our consciousness, 533 00:27:18,747 --> 00:27:21,587 Speaker 2: but for two weeks we all get the opportunity to 534 00:27:21,907 --> 00:27:25,347 Speaker 2: see them. I guess for the sports themselves, particularly the 535 00:27:25,387 --> 00:27:28,827 Speaker 2: New Zealand arm of them, it's a chance to capitalize 536 00:27:28,867 --> 00:27:32,707 Speaker 2: on those extra eyeballs, you know, for sport climbing, for example, 537 00:27:32,907 --> 00:27:36,827 Speaker 2: New Zealand sport climbing. I'm sure they are must have 538 00:27:36,827 --> 00:27:40,387 Speaker 2: a strategy for capitalizing on this because everybody's just watched 539 00:27:40,387 --> 00:27:42,107 Speaker 2: it and been awe struck by it. I'm sure there 540 00:27:42,107 --> 00:27:44,427 Speaker 2: are kids who think, how do I get into that? 541 00:27:44,427 --> 00:27:47,347 Speaker 2: That looks awesome? How do I get into that? If 542 00:27:47,387 --> 00:27:51,307 Speaker 2: I'm sport climbing New Zealand. I'm out in schools, I'm 543 00:27:50,827 --> 00:27:55,067 Speaker 2: you know, giving demonstrations and local shopping malls. I'm signing 544 00:27:55,147 --> 00:27:58,747 Speaker 2: people up to sport climbing because it is slap bang 545 00:27:58,747 --> 00:28:02,787 Speaker 2: in the middle of our consciousness right now.

But talk us 633 00:32:34,307 --> 00:32:37,187 Speaker 2: through how you talk us through how you pulled yourself 634 00:32:37,227 --> 00:32:41,787 Speaker 2: back in Frontara. 635 00:32:39,987 --> 00:32:45,347 Speaker 8: Oh, well, we always know that it's possible for it's 636 00:32:45,507 --> 00:32:47,427 Speaker 8: likely that Cruis are going to come close to us 637 00:32:47,427 --> 00:32:49,987 Speaker 8: and take us at some point in the race.

And 656 00:33:48,587 --> 00:33:51,227 Speaker 8: so I kind of knew that that was going to happen, 657 00:33:51,307 --> 00:33:53,467 Speaker 8: and you can feel it within the boat and it 658 00:33:53,587 --> 00:33:55,507 Speaker 8: just helps us all keep driving. 659 00:33:56,187 --> 00:33:59,507 Speaker 2: How significant, Tara was the World championship win in Germany 660 00:33:59,587 --> 00:34:01,507 Speaker 2: last year? You became the first K four from New 661 00:34:01,587 --> 00:34:04,667 Speaker 2: Zealand male or female to win a world championship title. 662 00:34:04,667 --> 00:34:07,827 Speaker 2: How significant was that and giving you the confidence that 663 00:34:07,867 --> 00:34:10,987 Speaker 2: you could be Olympic champions as well? 664 00:34:11,227 --> 00:34:13,267 Speaker 6: Oh, that was a really special race. 665 00:34:13,307 --> 00:34:16,667 Speaker 8: But I guess each like over the last three years, 666 00:34:17,467 --> 00:34:20,907 Speaker 8: reboat's been getting better and the competition, the level keeps changing, 667 00:34:20,987 --> 00:34:24,227 Speaker 8: so that like that we knew that we had to 668 00:34:24,267 --> 00:34:26,587 Speaker 8: set up our game again from there if we wanted 669 00:34:26,627 --> 00:34:28,387 Speaker 8: to do well at the Olympics. 670 00:34:29,027 --> 00:34:31,667 Speaker 2: Olivia, can you tell me about the emotion that you 671 00:34:31,707 --> 00:34:33,587 Speaker 2: feel when you cross the line.

So yeah, that 688 00:35:21,667 --> 00:35:23,307 Speaker 6: was a pretty that was pretty cool. 689 00:35:23,307 --> 00:35:27,787 Speaker 8: And yeah, that feeling of it's just a surreal feeling 690 00:35:27,867 --> 00:35:30,067 Speaker 8: really and. 691 00:35:30,027 --> 00:35:33,187 Speaker 2: Yeah, well described, well described. Can I ask you both 692 00:35:33,187 --> 00:35:36,227 Speaker 2: the same question about about Dame Lisa Carrington and how 693 00:35:36,267 --> 00:35:38,907 Speaker 2: big an influence she has been on you. Maybe we 694 00:35:38,907 --> 00:35:41,867 Speaker 2: can start with you on that one, Tara. 695 00:35:42,147 --> 00:35:46,627 Speaker 8: Yeah, well, Lisa she's an incredible person and we're so 696 00:35:46,627 --> 00:35:52,147 Speaker 8: so lucky to have her her abilities in our boat 697 00:35:52,187 --> 00:35:54,827 Speaker 8: and her experience, but also her willingness to work as 698 00:35:54,867 --> 00:35:57,627 Speaker 8: a team, and she helps us so much every day 699 00:35:57,667 --> 00:36:00,147 Speaker 8: and We've learned so much from her, Like I really 700 00:36:00,187 --> 00:36:02,987 Speaker 8: can't thank her enough. The Lisa you guys see as 701 00:36:03,707 --> 00:36:06,907 Speaker 8: the kayak Karen in the Lisa we she is the 702 00:36:06,947 --> 00:36:11,427 Speaker 8: person and kayaker I think is is so much more 703 00:36:11,587 --> 00:36:15,547 Speaker 8: than what is shown on the screen. And she is 704 00:36:16,027 --> 00:36:20,187 Speaker 8: one of my most amazingst friends but also an amazing teammate. 705 00:36:20,347 --> 00:36:24,987 Speaker 8: And her willingness to just share her information that she 706 00:36:25,107 --> 00:36:29,827 Speaker 8: has and share that experience but also be humble in 707 00:36:29,947 --> 00:36:31,427 Speaker 8: her abilities is just. 708 00:36:32,907 --> 00:36:34,067 Speaker 6: It's a gift that keeps. 709 00:36:33,827 --> 00:36:37,067 Speaker 8: On giving, really, and she's helped us so much over 710 00:36:37,107 --> 00:36:40,547 Speaker 8: the last two and a half years. But my biggest 711 00:36:40,587 --> 00:36:44,027 Speaker 8: takeaway from Lisa is just that she's an very awesome 712 00:36:44,027 --> 00:36:44,827 Speaker 8: and caring friend. 713 00:36:45,187 --> 00:36:45,387 Speaker 11: Yeah. 714 00:36:45,387 --> 00:36:47,227 Speaker 2: I mean, but she's the goat, right, She is the 715 00:36:47,307 --> 00:36:49,227 Speaker 2: goat when it comes to this sort of thing. So 716 00:36:49,507 --> 00:36:54,107 Speaker 2: was it at all wasn't This is beyond question obviously, 717 00:36:54,307 --> 00:36:56,987 Speaker 2: I think was even before this Olympic Games. But was 718 00:36:57,027 --> 00:36:59,307 Speaker 2: it at all daunting for either of you when you 719 00:36:59,347 --> 00:37:02,107 Speaker 2: first met her? 720 00:37:02,667 --> 00:37:06,587 Speaker 8: I think I think I first met her when I 721 00:37:06,627 --> 00:37:09,707 Speaker 8: was at one of the many of my first nationals 722 00:37:10,747 --> 00:37:14,507 Speaker 8: or no second nationals and cutapero and I was a 723 00:37:14,547 --> 00:37:19,107 Speaker 8: little fourteen year old and she was probably preparing for 724 00:37:19,587 --> 00:37:20,827 Speaker 8: Rio around that time. 725 00:37:20,907 --> 00:37:24,467 Speaker 6: And yeah, she gave me a medal and I got 726 00:37:24,507 --> 00:37:27,547 Speaker 6: so excited, and I think I got a photo with her. 727 00:37:29,227 --> 00:37:33,227 Speaker 8: But she wasn't daunting, even back then when she didn't 728 00:37:33,267 --> 00:37:35,987 Speaker 8: even know who you were. She she's kind and she 729 00:37:36,467 --> 00:37:43,987 Speaker 8: cares and I think that's what she shows and she Yeah, 730 00:37:44,227 --> 00:37:46,507 Speaker 8: I think even then I knew she was a lovely person. 731 00:37:47,467 --> 00:37:49,547 Speaker 2: That's awesome. That is so cool. So the two of 732 00:37:49,547 --> 00:37:52,947 Speaker 2: you obviously in the K four, Dame Lisa and Alysia 733 00:37:53,427 --> 00:37:55,947 Speaker 2: involved in the K two and then Lisa of course 734 00:37:55,987 --> 00:37:58,587 Speaker 2: and the K one. So how have you negotiated the 735 00:37:58,587 --> 00:38:01,667 Speaker 2: build up making sure that you know you do you 736 00:38:01,747 --> 00:38:04,187 Speaker 2: train without the other two. How does that all work? 737 00:38:06,067 --> 00:38:09,987 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it's not really up to us as 738 00:38:10,107 --> 00:38:13,627 Speaker 8: much as Gordy, our coaching, Chris. They helped guide us 739 00:38:13,667 --> 00:38:17,907 Speaker 8: and we get in all three boats often, but we've 740 00:38:17,907 --> 00:38:20,107 Speaker 8: spent a lot of time in the K four and 741 00:38:20,147 --> 00:38:23,787 Speaker 8: the build up to these games it requires quite a 742 00:38:23,787 --> 00:38:26,387 Speaker 8: bit of work. So yeah, but we've been in all 743 00:38:26,427 --> 00:38:29,867 Speaker 8: the boats, me and Live getting the K two. We all, yeah, 744 00:38:30,027 --> 00:38:31,867 Speaker 8: we all make it all work so that we all 745 00:38:31,867 --> 00:38:34,187 Speaker 8: get the best training for the best outcome for the 746 00:38:34,227 --> 00:38:34,947 Speaker 8: whole team. 747 00:38:35,307 --> 00:38:38,467 Speaker 2: And just to finish. Have you allowed yourself over the 748 00:38:38,507 --> 00:38:41,107 Speaker 2: last six months or so to think about what it 749 00:38:41,227 --> 00:38:43,307 Speaker 2: might be like to stand on that podium. Have you 750 00:38:43,347 --> 00:38:45,987 Speaker 2: allowed yourself that you know that vision in your mind 751 00:38:46,027 --> 00:38:48,627 Speaker 2: that that came true today? 752 00:38:49,507 --> 00:38:56,187 Speaker 6: Uh, I can't even remember. Probably. I think there's always 753 00:38:56,227 --> 00:38:58,307 Speaker 6: the like the goals. 754 00:38:57,987 --> 00:39:02,187 Speaker 8: And the visions, and I think as a team, our vision, 755 00:39:02,827 --> 00:39:05,307 Speaker 8: I mean we always the goal is to win, but 756 00:39:05,867 --> 00:39:08,267 Speaker 8: as vision of our team is to put the best 757 00:39:08,307 --> 00:39:13,307 Speaker 8: performance we can out there, and so and whatever that 758 00:39:13,427 --> 00:39:18,787 Speaker 8: ended up happening would be the results. But I think 759 00:39:19,267 --> 00:39:22,147 Speaker 8: looking back over the last six months, I think just 760 00:39:22,387 --> 00:39:25,587 Speaker 8: wanting to be the best team in the world was was. 761 00:39:25,507 --> 00:39:29,667 Speaker 6: My goal and so we our goal. Sorry so not. 762 00:39:29,827 --> 00:39:33,227 Speaker 8: I don't think really that specific moment, but crossing the 763 00:39:33,227 --> 00:39:36,307 Speaker 8: line together was the moment I would look forward to. 764 00:39:36,987 --> 00:39:40,467 Speaker 2: And what to like on the top of the podium. 765 00:39:40,667 --> 00:39:43,507 Speaker 8: We had a great time up there, everyone like the 766 00:39:43,547 --> 00:39:46,267 Speaker 8: Germans and the Hungarians.

Well John over ten. 854 00:44:39,027 --> 00:44:42,787 Speaker 10: Over halfway puts a kick it behind, chasing after it 855 00:44:42,907 --> 00:44:45,267 Speaker 10: had bounces as old John Hey. 856 00:44:45,267 --> 00:44:50,347 Speaker 2: The sess solar Chi and less like this from two 857 00:44:50,427 --> 00:44:51,467 Speaker 2: years ago in christ Church. 858 00:44:51,587 --> 00:44:52,787 Speaker 9: The Siren's about to go. 859 00:44:53,467 --> 00:44:55,947 Speaker 2: Argentina just need to get it into touch. 860 00:44:56,387 --> 00:44:57,627 Speaker 5: They just need to get it out. 861 00:44:58,427 --> 00:44:59,587 Speaker 11: Who wants to do it the bout? 862 00:44:59,627 --> 00:45:03,667 Speaker 2: He said, I'll do it, Babus Babbas Argentina. I remember 863 00:45:03,707 --> 00:45:07,427 Speaker 2: that night in christ Church, the Pumas Pumas beating the 864 00:45:07,467 --> 00:45:09,787 Speaker 2: All Blacks for the first time. Let's bring in former 865 00:45:09,827 --> 00:45:12,627 Speaker 2: All Blacks midfield of Peter A. Latini for some analysis 866 00:45:12,667 --> 00:45:13,107 Speaker 2: of this game. 867 00:45:13,467 --> 00:45:13,587 Speaker 5: Uh. 868 00:45:13,907 --> 00:45:15,867 Speaker 2: First of all, Peter, have you assessed the first three 869 00:45:16,027 --> 00:45:17,667 Speaker 2: tests under Scott robertson this year? 870 00:45:18,787 --> 00:45:21,467 Speaker 11: I think everyone here has made it's the path mark. 871 00:45:21,547 --> 00:45:21,707 Speaker 6: You know. 872 00:45:21,827 --> 00:45:25,307 Speaker 11: We didn't lose. We didn't lose, and I think it's 873 00:45:25,347 --> 00:45:28,147 Speaker 11: building nicely. I really did like that that we had 874 00:45:28,227 --> 00:45:30,507 Speaker 11: England straight off the bat. I think it's that they 875 00:45:30,507 --> 00:45:34,387 Speaker 11: were really good chess series to really you know, for 876 00:45:34,507 --> 00:45:37,467 Speaker 11: some of our boys under under Raisin, especially for Raisin 877 00:45:37,547 --> 00:45:40,987 Speaker 11: his new coaching group, to get a feel around chest rugby, 878 00:45:41,067 --> 00:45:43,787 Speaker 11: I suppose, and also the selections of group they have, 879 00:45:44,427 --> 00:45:47,747 Speaker 11: and then having having the opportunity to play Fiji and 880 00:45:47,867 --> 00:45:50,307 Speaker 11: San Diego with the amount of changes they made and 881 00:45:50,587 --> 00:45:52,707 Speaker 11: to get the score. So he's got a got a 882 00:45:52,787 --> 00:45:55,587 Speaker 11: good kind of complete squad across the board I suppose 883 00:45:55,627 --> 00:45:59,027 Speaker 11: of what they want so far and something to really 884 00:45:59,107 --> 00:46:02,307 Speaker 11: build on in specially tonight against Argentina and the Championship. 885 00:46:02,707 --> 00:46:05,427 Speaker 2: When he assesses the first three tests, you know, with 886 00:46:05,587 --> 00:46:08,747 Speaker 2: reference to what hitting the Rugby Championship, Argentina, South Africa, 887 00:46:08,747 --> 00:46:10,907 Speaker 2: Australia and the end of year tour. If you look 888 00:46:10,907 --> 00:46:13,027 Speaker 2: back to those three tests, particularly the England ones, Peter, 889 00:46:13,747 --> 00:46:16,147 Speaker 2: where are the improvements you think he'll be most keen 890 00:46:16,227 --> 00:46:16,707 Speaker 2: on seeing. 891 00:46:18,347 --> 00:46:20,947 Speaker 11: I think the biggest thing and we all know it, 892 00:46:21,107 --> 00:46:24,347 Speaker 11: it's seeing teams like England south of go around the 893 00:46:24,427 --> 00:46:27,267 Speaker 11: rush defense. I think Marsh has always spoken up out 894 00:46:27,307 --> 00:46:29,827 Speaker 11: of that we haven't gotten answer, and he's absolutely right mate, 895 00:46:30,187 --> 00:46:33,467 Speaker 11: I think the improvements is around just our skills said 896 00:46:33,507 --> 00:46:36,067 Speaker 11: that we know that we have as who are those 897 00:46:36,107 --> 00:46:38,867 Speaker 11: guys in those right places to really execute the skill 898 00:46:38,907 --> 00:46:41,387 Speaker 11: set there is required when we come up against rush defence, 899 00:46:41,787 --> 00:46:44,587 Speaker 11: when we come up against the high tech. So it's 900 00:46:44,707 --> 00:46:48,227 Speaker 11: really around that area, I think it, and that we 901 00:46:48,387 --> 00:46:51,707 Speaker 11: need to make sure that that we kind of firmly have. 902 00:46:51,907 --> 00:46:53,987 Speaker 11: And the other side is as as get back to 903 00:46:54,307 --> 00:46:57,547 Speaker 11: around us playing with speed, making sure that that's be's 904 00:46:57,587 --> 00:46:59,187 Speaker 11: seen our shipper for a long time. How do we 905 00:46:59,307 --> 00:47:02,187 Speaker 11: make sure that we keep shifting at that contact a 906 00:47:02,307 --> 00:47:04,107 Speaker 11: might speed in our skill sets to be able to 907 00:47:04,187 --> 00:47:06,827 Speaker 11: finish off tries with the with the back that we have. 908 00:47:07,347 --> 00:47:09,187 Speaker 2: How do you used to handle the rush defense as 909 00:47:09,187 --> 00:47:09,747 Speaker 2: a midfielder. 910 00:47:11,507 --> 00:47:13,587 Speaker 11: I think it wasn't too much of a thing with 911 00:47:13,747 --> 00:47:16,267 Speaker 11: South Africa. At times it was still the old up 912 00:47:16,307 --> 00:47:19,587 Speaker 11: and out and drust. They still gave us a little time. 913 00:47:19,667 --> 00:47:23,067 Speaker 11: But I do know it'specially with myself around rush defense 914 00:47:23,107 --> 00:47:25,027 Speaker 11: when it did happened was around my footwork. You know, 915 00:47:25,627 --> 00:47:27,467 Speaker 11: we're going to have guys to be able to as 916 00:47:27,547 --> 00:47:29,067 Speaker 11: they come through this. This is the only if we 917 00:47:29,107 --> 00:47:31,307 Speaker 11: get too square on them. Most of the time you're 918 00:47:31,347 --> 00:47:33,907 Speaker 11: going to get smoked by by those big defenders. But 919 00:47:34,027 --> 00:47:37,147 Speaker 11: having good footwork was was was was always to get 920 00:47:37,187 --> 00:47:38,707 Speaker 11: on the side and then being able to move and 921 00:47:38,787 --> 00:47:42,147 Speaker 11: that's probably where we just need to hopefully have and 922 00:47:42,227 --> 00:47:46,387 Speaker 11: we do have guys and that profile to be able 923 00:47:46,427 --> 00:47:46,987 Speaker 11: to get the job. 924 00:47:47,747 --> 00:47:50,307 Speaker 2: So he's gone Jordi Barrett and Antonine Lenott Brown as 925 00:47:50,347 --> 00:47:52,387 Speaker 2: the starting midfield pair for tonight. Why do you think 926 00:47:52,427 --> 00:47:53,067 Speaker 2: he's gone that way? 927 00:47:54,707 --> 00:47:58,627 Speaker 11: I think this there's a big probably look at the 928 00:47:58,747 --> 00:48:02,667 Speaker 11: ability to distribute to our outsides and that's probably been 929 00:48:02,827 --> 00:48:09,147 Speaker 11: a criticism of Rico after the Cup Latists and against England, 930 00:48:09,187 --> 00:48:12,227 Speaker 11: where we do have space on the outside and and 931 00:48:12,587 --> 00:48:15,667 Speaker 11: we're not getting it out to those guys. So I 932 00:48:15,787 --> 00:48:19,987 Speaker 11: think Leonnett Brown and obviously protact against obviously a fig 933 00:48:20,427 --> 00:48:24,987 Speaker 11: and they disrespected him. But always seeing that, how you 934 00:48:25,067 --> 00:48:27,587 Speaker 11: know how effective we can be with we've been able 935 00:48:27,707 --> 00:48:30,787 Speaker 11: to really text the inside and create space on the 936 00:48:30,827 --> 00:48:33,147 Speaker 11: outside twelve boys to finish. So I think that's where 937 00:48:33,227 --> 00:48:36,867 Speaker 11: where Leonard Brown I think, you know, we know experience 938 00:48:36,907 --> 00:48:39,987 Speaker 11: he is as well, so that brings another another element 939 00:48:40,067 --> 00:48:42,507 Speaker 11: to that to that change. But then also having retail 940 00:48:42,507 --> 00:48:45,827 Speaker 11: on the bench him coming back off the benches and 941 00:48:45,987 --> 00:48:48,227 Speaker 11: as an impact and we all know what he can do. 942 00:48:48,387 --> 00:48:51,627 Speaker 11: So I'm just hoping that's you know, hasn't really good 943 00:48:52,387 --> 00:48:54,627 Speaker 11: Bruco too much because he is. He's still one of 944 00:48:54,707 --> 00:48:56,787 Speaker 11: the best in New Zealan and what he does is 945 00:48:56,867 --> 00:48:59,107 Speaker 11: just you be able to go his game into what 946 00:48:59,827 --> 00:49:00,987 Speaker 11: Raisan is such a good one. 947 00:49:01,347 --> 00:49:03,907 Speaker 2: It's becoming quite a quite a contestable position though, wasn't 948 00:49:03,907 --> 00:49:05,507 Speaker 2: it both of them? Well, I think Jordi Barrett's the 949 00:49:05,707 --> 00:49:07,907 Speaker 2: locked in twelve, but when you look at thirteen Rica 950 00:49:07,987 --> 00:49:09,747 Speaker 2: you Annie anteon lettat Brown and as you say, Billy 951 00:49:09,787 --> 00:49:13,027 Speaker 2: Proctor only against Fiji, of course, but I thought he 952 00:49:13,107 --> 00:49:14,747 Speaker 2: made a pretty good fist of his step up to 953 00:49:14,787 --> 00:49:15,827 Speaker 2: test Raby. What did you think? 954 00:49:16,467 --> 00:49:19,267 Speaker 11: Yeah, I've really been impressive Billy and I've followed him 955 00:49:19,347 --> 00:49:22,307 Speaker 11: during his last couple of years and in the Canes 956 00:49:22,307 --> 00:49:25,747 Speaker 11: where he's really stood out. The skill set, has work rate. 957 00:49:26,747 --> 00:49:29,547 Speaker 11: I really love his I think that's one of although 958 00:49:29,587 --> 00:49:31,947 Speaker 11: he's got great he's got a great skill set to 959 00:49:31,987 --> 00:49:35,827 Speaker 11: get balled out wide. I've been really impressed and his 960 00:49:36,307 --> 00:49:39,827 Speaker 11: ability to defend well, it seemed to being able to 961 00:49:39,947 --> 00:49:42,107 Speaker 11: read those those back doors the outsidees coming through, but 962 00:49:42,267 --> 00:49:44,507 Speaker 11: also his work rate and being able to get back 963 00:49:44,547 --> 00:49:47,187 Speaker 11: in the position is off ballwark. So I'm being really 964 00:49:47,187 --> 00:49:50,307 Speaker 11: impressive with it. And I think, you know, given the 965 00:49:50,387 --> 00:49:53,347 Speaker 11: opportunity here, will port real heat in the midfield. But 966 00:49:53,467 --> 00:49:56,667 Speaker 11: again it's exactly what we're after and just throws our 967 00:49:56,787 --> 00:49:58,427 Speaker 11: depth in that position. 968 00:49:58,507 --> 00:50:02,267 Speaker 2: One in at at first five, Damien McKenzie's got a 969 00:50:02,307 --> 00:50:04,427 Speaker 2: fourth start, so I'm pleased to see them, you know, 970 00:50:04,507 --> 00:50:08,027 Speaker 2: give him a decent crack. Have you assessed his ability 971 00:50:08,147 --> 00:50:09,867 Speaker 2: to guide the team around. 972 00:50:10,787 --> 00:50:13,467 Speaker 11: I'm always I've always been a big fan of Demat. 973 00:50:13,587 --> 00:50:16,347 Speaker 11: I think he's he's getting Giving him these opportunities, getting 974 00:50:16,387 --> 00:50:20,147 Speaker 11: the consistent selections at ten, I think we'll only get 975 00:50:20,227 --> 00:50:23,347 Speaker 11: it better and then we that's you know, will we 976 00:50:23,467 --> 00:50:26,507 Speaker 11: need to go with. We understand his course, so we 977 00:50:26,627 --> 00:50:29,067 Speaker 11: understand his time. Again, he could get another guy that 978 00:50:29,547 --> 00:50:33,787 Speaker 11: they can be able to really derail that rush defense, 979 00:50:34,027 --> 00:50:36,907 Speaker 11: just with as ability to read that. So I think 980 00:50:37,827 --> 00:50:39,947 Speaker 11: he's usable passioner for me and and I look forward 981 00:50:39,947 --> 00:50:40,907 Speaker 11: to more as he goes through. 982 00:50:41,267 --> 00:50:42,867 Speaker 2: And then I look at the locks and I know 983 00:50:42,987 --> 00:50:45,027 Speaker 2: this isn't your specialist position, but I'll be keen to 984 00:50:45,067 --> 00:50:47,387 Speaker 2: hear I begin to hear you views on the inexperience, 985 00:50:47,467 --> 00:50:49,827 Speaker 2: and there, of course no Scott Barrett for this one. 986 00:50:49,907 --> 00:50:52,787 Speaker 2: No Patrick Tuipoloto, White Lock gone, Retallic gone. So we're 987 00:50:52,947 --> 00:50:55,667 Speaker 2: to por Vait and Sam Dowry to start. Josh Lord 988 00:50:56,027 --> 00:50:58,907 Speaker 2: on the bench. I can't remember a greener locking trio 989 00:50:59,027 --> 00:51:01,307 Speaker 2: than that. Peter, should we be concerned at all about 990 00:51:01,307 --> 00:51:02,347 Speaker 2: that or excited by it? 991 00:51:02,987 --> 00:51:05,907 Speaker 11: I think we should be excited. Piney, I think I 992 00:51:05,987 --> 00:51:07,707 Speaker 11: think this is where we need to get to. We 993 00:51:07,827 --> 00:51:11,027 Speaker 11: understand who have got that, but this is the opportunity 994 00:51:11,067 --> 00:51:14,307 Speaker 11: that these boys get to start against Argentina, you know, 995 00:51:15,387 --> 00:51:18,827 Speaker 11: and it's been in an older squad seet they all 996 00:51:18,907 --> 00:51:21,267 Speaker 11: made an environment right and I mean there's the only 997 00:51:21,347 --> 00:51:23,827 Speaker 11: one that's that's fealing new and he was a big 998 00:51:23,907 --> 00:51:26,467 Speaker 11: pass mucking CG. But I think we need to grow 999 00:51:26,547 --> 00:51:29,387 Speaker 11: these players again, the depths that we have and Locks 1000 00:51:29,507 --> 00:51:31,547 Speaker 11: needs to needs to go, you know, just because we're 1001 00:51:31,587 --> 00:51:34,387 Speaker 11: not saying what Lock and retalc the guns for many 1002 00:51:34,507 --> 00:51:37,187 Speaker 11: years and this is an opportunity to really go their 1003 00:51:37,267 --> 00:51:39,907 Speaker 11: depth and these guys, and these guys have proven again 1004 00:51:40,307 --> 00:51:44,347 Speaker 11: truly super super rugby form for the last couple of 1005 00:51:44,427 --> 00:51:46,507 Speaker 11: years that they've been really consistent the best and it's 1006 00:51:46,627 --> 00:51:49,987 Speaker 11: just justat to have something. I'm glad to really step 1007 00:51:50,027 --> 00:51:52,267 Speaker 11: their market. And then Ciserna all. 1008 00:51:52,227 --> 00:51:54,427 Speaker 2: Right, and just a word on Argentina to finish. I 1009 00:51:54,467 --> 00:51:57,187 Speaker 2: think when we look at a rugby calendar, and particularly 1010 00:51:57,227 --> 00:52:00,027 Speaker 2: rugby Championship, look at South Africa two tests away going 1011 00:52:00,107 --> 00:52:02,427 Speaker 2: to be tough. The Australian bled Uslow Cup games always 1012 00:52:02,467 --> 00:52:05,347 Speaker 2: eye catching. Should we how should we feel about Argentina. 1013 00:52:05,427 --> 00:52:06,987 Speaker 2: I mean, it wasn't that long a couple of years 1014 00:52:06,987 --> 00:52:09,067 Speaker 2: they beat us on home soil for the first time. 1015 00:52:09,107 --> 00:52:10,387 Speaker 2: How should we assess their threat? 1016 00:52:11,027 --> 00:52:13,347 Speaker 11: I think we should always treat them with the respect 1017 00:52:13,347 --> 00:52:15,827 Speaker 11: they deserve. Like you said, you've mentioned you know it's 1018 00:52:15,907 --> 00:52:18,747 Speaker 11: lost to them and home soil to the time, so 1019 00:52:19,147 --> 00:52:21,027 Speaker 11: they are a sick and it's good for us. We 1020 00:52:21,147 --> 00:52:24,507 Speaker 11: need to be on edge. We're home and we need 1021 00:52:24,587 --> 00:52:27,067 Speaker 11: to start well in this championship. Goings for well. As 1022 00:52:27,147 --> 00:52:29,827 Speaker 11: you said that those games and seven are going to 1023 00:52:29,867 --> 00:52:32,547 Speaker 11: be tough and these boys will will have to be 1024 00:52:32,627 --> 00:52:35,187 Speaker 11: prepped up. But first taking care of Argentina. 1025 00:52:35,427 --> 00:52:37,267 Speaker 2: Good man, Peter always loves chatting to you mate. Have 1026 00:52:37,267 --> 00:52:39,587 Speaker 2: an excellent afternoon. Thank to you piny, thank mate, No 1027 00:52:39,707 --> 00:52:41,987 Speaker 2: you thank you mate. That's better. Ol Tenny, former All 1028 00:52:41,987 --> 00:52:45,427 Speaker 2: Blacks midfielder some interesting thoughts. I have to admit this 1029 00:52:45,507 --> 00:52:48,267 Speaker 2: one has crept up on me. The Olympics have kind 1030 00:52:48,307 --> 00:52:50,627 Speaker 2: of dominated my sporting consciousness for the last two weeks. 1031 00:52:50,667 --> 00:52:53,507 Speaker 2: But I love the All Blacks, most of us do 1032 00:52:54,347 --> 00:52:56,867 Speaker 2: looking forward tonight, looking forward to tonight as much as 1033 00:52:56,867 --> 00:52:59,227 Speaker 2: always look forward to All Blacks tests. Oh eight hundred 1034 00:52:59,227 --> 00:53:00,827 Speaker 2: and eighty ten eighty Has the snuck up on you 1035 00:53:00,947 --> 00:53:02,787 Speaker 2: as well? Has it sort of come under the radar 1036 00:53:02,867 --> 00:53:05,787 Speaker 2: a little bit? I guess of the three Rugby Championship 1037 00:53:06,347 --> 00:53:10,387 Speaker 2: opponents that we face, Argentina perhaps are the less glamorous 1038 00:53:10,427 --> 00:53:14,147 Speaker 2: of the three, particularly when we're going to South Africa 1039 00:53:14,227 --> 00:53:17,987 Speaker 2: for two massive test matches over there, the Bleddy Slow 1040 00:53:18,067 --> 00:53:20,907 Speaker 2: Cup always you know, Trans Tasman rivalry and all that. 1041 00:53:21,107 --> 00:53:25,067 Speaker 2: I'm I think I'm probably safe in saying that of 1042 00:53:25,227 --> 00:53:28,307 Speaker 2: the three, Argentina are the least attractive as far as 1043 00:53:28,587 --> 00:53:31,947 Speaker 2: a narrative around the Test is concerned. But I think 1044 00:53:31,987 --> 00:53:34,667 Speaker 2: every test this year has its own little storylines, with 1045 00:53:35,307 --> 00:53:39,267 Speaker 2: Scott Robertson and his coaching staff and his team sort 1046 00:53:39,267 --> 00:53:44,347 Speaker 2: of finding their way selection wise, Jordi Barrett, Anton, Leonart 1047 00:53:44,347 --> 00:53:48,107 Speaker 2: Brown in midfield. I don't think they've paired up before, 1048 00:53:48,267 --> 00:53:50,347 Speaker 2: certainly not from the start, not that I can remember. Anyway, 1049 00:53:50,347 --> 00:53:53,787 Speaker 2: it's mainly been Jordy Barrett and Ricco Yuwanni since Barrett 1050 00:53:53,827 --> 00:54:01,547 Speaker 2: moved into second five. Interesting with Rico, he's he's almost 1051 00:54:01,587 --> 00:54:04,947 Speaker 2: had the thirteen jersey, not as of right, but it's 1052 00:54:05,027 --> 00:54:07,787 Speaker 2: been his really for the last what would it be 1053 00:54:07,867 --> 00:54:10,827 Speaker 2: two or three years? Ever since he already decided that 1054 00:54:10,947 --> 00:54:13,067 Speaker 2: he wasn't a winger anymore and it was a center 1055 00:54:13,987 --> 00:54:16,787 Speaker 2: he's I think he had to convince he and Foster 1056 00:54:16,947 --> 00:54:20,187 Speaker 2: of that. But then Ian Foster became a convert to 1057 00:54:20,667 --> 00:54:25,627 Speaker 2: Rico Yuanni playing at center, and pretty much since you know, 1058 00:54:26,147 --> 00:54:29,267 Speaker 2: he made that decision in his mind, Ricca Yuani was 1059 00:54:29,267 --> 00:54:33,147 Speaker 2: the number one center under Ian Foster, and it would 1060 00:54:33,227 --> 00:54:34,547 Speaker 2: proved to be the case for the first couple of 1061 00:54:34,627 --> 00:54:37,547 Speaker 2: tests of this year as well. But now I think 1062 00:54:37,587 --> 00:54:41,387 Speaker 2: there is genuine competition. There isn't there? Absolutely there is. 1063 00:54:41,867 --> 00:54:44,347 Speaker 2: Billy Proctor. I know it was only FIGI I know that, 1064 00:54:45,187 --> 00:54:47,787 Speaker 2: but I thought Billy Proctor had a terrific Super Rugby season. 1065 00:54:47,907 --> 00:54:51,627 Speaker 2: Probably I think a better season than Ricco Yuan he 1066 00:54:51,707 --> 00:54:54,707 Speaker 2: had for the Blues. Albeit their Blues won Super Rugby 1067 00:54:54,747 --> 00:54:55,867 Speaker 2: and Rico was a big part of that. But I 1068 00:54:55,907 --> 00:54:58,787 Speaker 2: think Billy Proctor shaded him as if you looked at 1069 00:54:58,787 --> 00:55:02,107 Speaker 2: Okay rank the centers, I think he probably shaded him. 1070 00:55:02,107 --> 00:55:05,707 Speaker 2: And obviously his All Blacks call up shows that Razor agreed. 1071 00:55:05,867 --> 00:55:09,627 Speaker 2: Anton Brown always been a very good rugby player, very 1072 00:55:09,627 --> 00:55:11,587 Speaker 2: good rugby player has not I don't think he's ever 1073 00:55:11,667 --> 00:55:16,467 Speaker 2: been first choice at twelve or thirteen, but his ability 1074 00:55:16,547 --> 00:55:21,587 Speaker 2: to cover both and his nouse, I think he's highly 1075 00:55:21,667 --> 00:55:24,947 Speaker 2: respected within that environment. Anton Lennet Brown, and you know 1076 00:55:25,187 --> 00:55:27,987 Speaker 2: that whatever you ask of him, whether it's starting at twelve, 1077 00:55:28,067 --> 00:55:30,067 Speaker 2: starting at thirteen, or coming off the beach at twelve 1078 00:55:30,187 --> 00:55:34,547 Speaker 2: or thirteen or even on the wing, he'll do whatever's required. 1079 00:55:34,907 --> 00:55:37,227 Speaker 2: That is Antony Lennet Brown to a t. So to 1080 00:55:37,267 --> 00:55:40,347 Speaker 2: see him start tonight. Look, he has possession of the jersey, 1081 00:55:41,307 --> 00:55:43,467 Speaker 2: but it's a three horse race now for that thirteen jersey, 1082 00:55:43,467 --> 00:55:50,147 Speaker 2: I think him, Rico and Billy Proctor. Would you be 1083 00:55:50,227 --> 00:55:54,787 Speaker 2: willing to bet a large amount of money on who's 1084 00:55:54,827 --> 00:55:56,987 Speaker 2: going to finish the year and the big Test matches 1085 00:55:57,427 --> 00:55:59,707 Speaker 2: in the thirteen Jersey. It could be any of the 1086 00:55:59,787 --> 00:56:03,547 Speaker 2: three of them. And isn't that what we want? We 1087 00:56:03,667 --> 00:56:09,187 Speaker 2: want competition, you know in Alliance you worried at all 1088 00:56:09,267 --> 00:56:10,067 Speaker 2: Mark about tonight. 1089 00:56:12,227 --> 00:56:21,267 Speaker 21: Nah, I just think it's gonna be a walk in 1090 00:56:21,307 --> 00:56:22,707 Speaker 21: the park. Really, it's going to be a bit of 1091 00:56:22,787 --> 00:56:25,267 Speaker 21: a train run. Hopefully they get a few tries and 1092 00:56:26,227 --> 00:56:28,267 Speaker 21: hopefully to know. But yeah, no, I don't think they're 1093 00:56:28,267 --> 00:56:31,627 Speaker 21: going to lose. I just wanted to say a farewell 1094 00:56:31,747 --> 00:56:35,147 Speaker 21: to t J. Can't be the game, but yeah, it's 1095 00:56:36,507 --> 00:56:38,987 Speaker 21: it's amazing career his head and it's good to see 1096 00:56:39,027 --> 00:56:41,067 Speaker 21: him sort of go out. It would have been a 1097 00:56:41,107 --> 00:56:42,707 Speaker 21: bit sad to see him go out with him. 1098 00:56:43,027 --> 00:56:43,707 Speaker 19: Last year. 1099 00:56:45,867 --> 00:56:48,347 Speaker 21: Back in the side, the All Black side sort of 1100 00:56:48,387 --> 00:56:51,827 Speaker 21: one last time, probably in Wellington. And yeah, I mean 1101 00:56:52,347 --> 00:56:54,747 Speaker 21: to go out of Super Rugby as the top try scorers, 1102 00:56:54,747 --> 00:56:57,707 Speaker 21: the number nine put in the he might be there. 1103 00:56:58,027 --> 00:57:00,747 Speaker 2: He might be there for the All Blacks against Australia 1104 00:57:00,867 --> 00:57:01,667 Speaker 2: back in August. 1105 00:57:02,907 --> 00:57:06,307 Speaker 21: Okay, try and make that game then, yeah, I. 1106 00:57:06,507 --> 00:57:09,707 Speaker 2: Yeah, I obviously he's we know he's leaving the Hurricanes 1107 00:57:09,787 --> 00:57:11,627 Speaker 2: and he's been as you know, and as you've said, 1108 00:57:11,667 --> 00:57:13,907 Speaker 2: and as I know, he's been a great servant for us, 1109 00:57:13,987 --> 00:57:16,747 Speaker 2: but I don't think roy Guard's back in the mix, 1110 00:57:16,827 --> 00:57:18,747 Speaker 2: although I just saw him actually put something on social 1111 00:57:18,787 --> 00:57:20,867 Speaker 2: media about how his recovery's going. I left to have 1112 00:57:20,867 --> 00:57:22,347 Speaker 2: a look at it to see if he's ahead of schedule, 1113 00:57:22,627 --> 00:57:24,467 Speaker 2: but I think they're targeting end of your tour for 1114 00:57:24,547 --> 00:57:27,187 Speaker 2: cam Royguards. So to me it feels as though TJ 1115 00:57:27,387 --> 00:57:29,307 Speaker 2: is still well and truly in the mix for the 1116 00:57:29,467 --> 00:57:32,907 Speaker 2: entire Rugby Championship, which includes the second Letter Slow Cup 1117 00:57:32,947 --> 00:57:34,867 Speaker 2: Test in Wellington. So maybe we get along to that 1118 00:57:34,947 --> 00:57:35,707 Speaker 2: in way Farewell. 1119 00:57:36,707 --> 00:57:39,507 Speaker 21: Oh yeah, I'd like to have the chance to do that. 1120 00:57:40,107 --> 00:57:44,907 Speaker 21: Just on the Olympics, you know, Lidia co it's incredible really, 1121 00:57:44,987 --> 00:57:47,387 Speaker 21: you know, I was just reading looking at the Hall 1122 00:57:47,427 --> 00:57:50,507 Speaker 21: of Fame thing and she won her first LPGA tournament 1123 00:57:50,547 --> 00:57:53,947 Speaker 21: at fifteen, number one at seventeen and probably going to 1124 00:57:54,027 --> 00:57:58,347 Speaker 21: retire twenty seven. So wonder it's not a bit sporting 1125 00:57:58,427 --> 00:57:59,147 Speaker 21: career really. 1126 00:57:59,307 --> 00:58:01,467 Speaker 2: No, And that's I think we forget Mark, thanks for 1127 00:58:01,507 --> 00:58:03,707 Speaker 2: your corn, mate, I think we forget that how long 1128 00:58:03,787 --> 00:58:07,147 Speaker 2: she's been around for and how early she started, As 1129 00:58:07,227 --> 00:58:09,987 Speaker 2: you say, she's only she's not thirty yet, and she's 1130 00:58:09,987 --> 00:58:11,947 Speaker 2: had this incredible career which is going to end up 1131 00:58:11,987 --> 00:58:14,867 Speaker 2: with her in the Hall of Fame because she started 1132 00:58:14,907 --> 00:58:17,107 Speaker 2: so young, and I remember, going way back when she 1133 00:58:17,227 --> 00:58:20,227 Speaker 2: first started and she was so successful, people said, you know, 1134 00:58:20,347 --> 00:58:24,027 Speaker 2: she could be anything she wants, and she's become incredibly successful, 1135 00:58:24,187 --> 00:58:27,467 Speaker 2: incredibly successful. You know, there have been times during the 1136 00:58:28,387 --> 00:58:30,587 Speaker 2: during the last decade or so when you know, she's 1137 00:58:30,587 --> 00:58:33,227 Speaker 2: had peaks and tross but who hasn't. But I think 1138 00:58:33,267 --> 00:58:35,187 Speaker 2: there's something about the Olympic Games that brings out the 1139 00:58:35,267 --> 00:58:38,307 Speaker 2: best and lydia Co clearly the results would say that, 1140 00:58:39,547 --> 00:58:43,307 Speaker 2: you know, two medals and two games, you know, huge 1141 00:58:43,347 --> 00:58:47,307 Speaker 2: shot for another one here if she can hold her nerve, 1142 00:58:47,347 --> 00:58:49,907 Speaker 2: and that doesn't seem to be any you know, particular 1143 00:58:49,987 --> 00:58:52,667 Speaker 2: problem for for Lydia Coe to hold her nerve. I'm 1144 00:58:52,667 --> 00:58:57,347 Speaker 2: just going to check the scores. In fact, I won't 1145 00:58:57,347 --> 00:58:59,547 Speaker 2: do it while I'm sort of clicking around on my computer. 1146 00:58:59,667 --> 00:59:00,827 Speaker 2: I'll do it in the ads and let you know 1147 00:59:00,867 --> 00:59:03,107 Speaker 2: how far ahead or behind or whatever it is she's 1148 00:59:03,147 --> 00:59:05,947 Speaker 2: in the co lead. But whether there are those breathing 1149 00:59:05,987 --> 00:59:08,147 Speaker 2: down her. A couple of other text to get away 1150 00:59:08,187 --> 00:59:11,787 Speaker 2: before we go, Helen says, twelve of our fifteen medals 1151 00:59:11,827 --> 00:59:12,947 Speaker 2: were one sitting down? 1152 00:59:15,507 --> 00:59:15,987 Speaker 16: Is that true? 1153 00:59:16,027 --> 00:59:19,547 Speaker 2: I think that's probably true. Which ones haven't been one 1154 00:59:19,627 --> 00:59:22,387 Speaker 2: sitting down? Let's go, let's work backwards. So Maddie was 1155 00:59:22,427 --> 00:59:26,027 Speaker 2: she she was standing for the shot put. Hayden Wilde 1156 00:59:26,187 --> 00:59:29,387 Speaker 2: was standing, although he was sitting on the bike, but 1157 00:59:29,747 --> 00:59:33,107 Speaker 2: he was standing and swimming for large parts of it. 1158 00:59:34,547 --> 00:59:37,147 Speaker 2: Who else have we got that that was doing things 1159 00:59:37,187 --> 00:59:42,427 Speaker 2: in a in a fully erect position. And said, look, 1160 00:59:42,507 --> 00:59:44,707 Speaker 2: Rugby seven's they were standing up, weren't they for the 1161 00:59:44,747 --> 00:59:50,147 Speaker 2: most part? Andrew? So, yeah, Rugby sevens otherwise sailing, m Yeah, 1162 00:59:50,187 --> 00:59:56,827 Speaker 2: the skiff and the nacra, Yeah, both sitting, rowing, all sitting, cycling, 1163 00:59:56,907 --> 00:59:58,587 Speaker 2: all sitting, canoeing, all sitting. 1164 00:59:59,867 --> 01:00:00,067 Speaker 16: Yeah. 1165 01:00:00,747 --> 01:00:03,787 Speaker 2: I think you're right, depending on where you put Hayden 1166 01:00:03,827 --> 01:00:06,667 Speaker 2: wild Yeah. Like I say, I don't thin you could 1167 01:00:06,707 --> 01:00:08,507 Speaker 2: say he sat down for the whole triathlon. That would 1168 01:00:08,507 --> 01:00:11,427 Speaker 2: be unfair.

So you've been impressed obviously, And look, 1213 01:02:28,267 --> 01:02:30,307 Speaker 2: I think like you, a lot of people were very 1214 01:02:30,347 --> 01:02:32,547 Speaker 2: curious to see how would go under razy being in 1215 01:02:32,587 --> 01:02:33,507 Speaker 2: pressed for the most part. 1216 01:02:34,467 --> 01:02:36,027 Speaker 22: Yeah, I can see what he's doing. I can see 1217 01:02:36,067 --> 01:02:38,387 Speaker 22: what the plan is. He's had a look, he's left 1218 01:02:38,427 --> 01:02:40,307 Speaker 22: them where they were, he's had a look and he's 1219 01:02:40,347 --> 01:02:43,227 Speaker 22: decided who he needs to shift on and who he 1220 01:02:43,307 --> 01:02:46,147 Speaker 22: needs to put back where they should be. And he's 1221 01:02:46,187 --> 01:02:48,827 Speaker 22: waited for certain players to come around and be good 1222 01:02:49,067 --> 01:02:52,907 Speaker 22: again after injury. And I think I think he's got 1223 01:02:53,227 --> 01:02:57,867 Speaker 22: as same as he was down here in Canterbury. He's 1224 01:02:57,947 --> 01:03:00,267 Speaker 22: got a plan and he wants the people in these 1225 01:03:00,267 --> 01:03:03,387 Speaker 22: certain positions. He's always talking about people's feet and I 1226 01:03:03,507 --> 01:03:06,627 Speaker 22: think ent On Leonard Brown as that guy in the 1227 01:03:06,747 --> 01:03:09,867 Speaker 22: centers and he can get through that rush defense with 1228 01:03:09,947 --> 01:03:10,707 Speaker 22: his quick feet. 1229 01:03:11,147 --> 01:03:13,227 Speaker 2: Yeah, good point.

You can see it from everywhere. 1239 01:03:30,027 --> 01:03:31,667 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was down.

You look at those rollers, you know, and 1283 01:05:10,187 --> 01:05:15,347 Speaker 2: the amount of effort the kayakers in fact, honestly, it's 1284 01:05:15,427 --> 01:05:19,307 Speaker 2: probably more.

But then you 1292 01:05:36,547 --> 01:05:37,907 Speaker 2: get on a rowing machine and when you're off it, 1293 01:05:38,147 --> 01:05:40,187 Speaker 2: it is your legs that go to jelly, not your 1294 01:05:40,267 --> 01:05:40,747 Speaker 2: upper body. 1295 01:05:41,427 --> 01:05:42,947 Speaker 14: When I was younger, Jason the used to do a 1296 01:05:42,987 --> 01:05:47,147 Speaker 14: lot of whitewater and flatwater canoeing, and especially whitewater.

I won't say it, but. 1300 01:05:58,267 --> 01:06:00,987 Speaker 5: Your mouth is so dry even with all that water around. 1301 01:06:01,187 --> 01:06:04,267 Speaker 11: I no, man't know why it is, but that's what happens. 1302 01:06:05,307 --> 01:06:07,507 Speaker 2: You would have been impressed by Finn Butcher, then, no doubt. 1303 01:06:09,107 --> 01:06:13,627 Speaker 14: I was impressed by both that, and also the women's 1304 01:06:13,747 --> 01:06:16,227 Speaker 14: and the men's slam. 1305 01:06:16,507 --> 01:06:17,947 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, incredible. 1306 01:06:19,307 --> 01:06:21,187 Speaker 14: You know, I can go back to a couple of 1307 01:06:21,267 --> 01:06:24,067 Speaker 14: Olympics ago and I never knew what happened to him, 1308 01:06:24,547 --> 01:06:25,707 Speaker 14: the African. 1309 01:06:25,307 --> 01:06:28,667 Speaker 19: Guy that got the silver in the in the white water. 1310 01:06:29,427 --> 01:06:32,067 Speaker 5: He was a big boy, but you never heard anything 1311 01:06:32,147 --> 01:06:33,107 Speaker 5: more of him after that. 1312 01:06:34,267 --> 01:06:37,747 Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't recall that with Finn Butcher. Thanks for 1313 01:06:37,787 --> 01:06:40,147 Speaker 2: your call, Mark, good to chat with Finn Butcher. I 1314 01:06:40,227 --> 01:06:43,067 Speaker 2: think I said this last week. I don't think most 1315 01:06:43,067 --> 01:06:46,947 Speaker 2: people had heard of him, right, But now you say 1316 01:06:47,027 --> 01:06:50,227 Speaker 2: Finn Butcher, then everybody knows who he is. The Marna 1317 01:06:50,307 --> 01:06:52,707 Speaker 2: wave at the top, you know, he seems like a 1318 01:06:52,827 --> 01:06:57,467 Speaker 2: really good rooster. Just yeah, that's what the Olympics does. 1319 01:06:57,587 --> 01:07:02,147 Speaker 2: It puts people into our sporting consciousness and often into 1320 01:07:02,187 --> 01:07:04,867 Speaker 2: our sporting folklore. I mean, if Finn Butcher never does 1321 01:07:04,907 --> 01:07:07,987 Speaker 2: anything else again, which won't be the case, he'll always 1322 01:07:08,067 --> 01:07:10,347 Speaker 2: be a gold medallist at Paris twenty twenty four. 1323 01:07:12,547 --> 01:07:12,707 Speaker 11: Yeah. 1324 01:07:13,547 --> 01:07:17,107 Speaker 2: The sitting down is interesting, isn't it. It's just look 1325 01:07:17,147 --> 01:07:20,587 Speaker 2: at as I said, it is absolutely no indication cycling, 1326 01:07:20,627 --> 01:07:24,387 Speaker 2: of course as well, no indication of effort. In fact, 1327 01:07:24,427 --> 01:07:28,707 Speaker 2: I think I'd probably rather run than row or kayak 1328 01:07:29,387 --> 01:07:32,667 Speaker 2: or sail or cycle or even ride a horse. If 1329 01:07:32,707 --> 01:07:40,347 Speaker 2: I'm honest, I think that I would rather. I'd rather run. 1330 01:07:41,467 --> 01:07:44,387 Speaker 2: You're sitting down. I mean they take some punishment, those athletes. 1331 01:07:45,587 --> 01:07:48,827 Speaker 2: Twenty four away from two. A couple of texts that 1332 01:07:48,907 --> 01:07:52,147 Speaker 2: have come through, Steve says, I agree. I can't say 1333 01:07:52,187 --> 01:07:54,187 Speaker 2: I had rock climbing on the radar at all. Now 1334 01:07:54,227 --> 01:07:57,507 Speaker 2: I'm hooked on it. Amazing athletes. Muss is not only 1335 01:07:57,547 --> 01:08:01,027 Speaker 2: the jubilation of the Olympics pinty, but also the absolute heartbreak. 1336 01:08:01,787 --> 01:08:04,387 Speaker 2: I saw a female athlete warming up for the one 1337 01:08:04,467 --> 01:08:07,067 Speaker 2: hundred hurdle. She rolled her knee. Over four years of 1338 01:08:07,147 --> 01:08:11,107 Speaker 2: training destroyed by a freak accident. Back to the shot put, 1339 01:08:11,187 --> 01:08:13,227 Speaker 2: Dave says, I've been over it and over it and 1340 01:08:13,427 --> 01:08:16,387 Speaker 2: over it, and it does bounce before the twenty meter 1341 01:08:16,507 --> 01:08:19,667 Speaker 2: line unfortunately, but it's hard to see because the shot 1342 01:08:19,747 --> 01:08:23,027 Speaker 2: disappears with the background when it's coming down. Either way, 1343 01:08:23,107 --> 01:08:26,147 Speaker 2: an awesome throw by Maddie. Yeah, look, I think we 1344 01:08:26,227 --> 01:08:29,467 Speaker 2: can all accept that. The officials who were there saw 1345 01:08:29,547 --> 01:08:32,827 Speaker 2: where it landed, and even though it looks as though 1346 01:08:32,867 --> 01:08:39,267 Speaker 2: it's twenty meters, it's not. I just wanted to say, 1347 01:08:39,307 --> 01:08:41,667 Speaker 2: says this one. I'm fifty five, and it's not. Till 1348 01:08:41,707 --> 01:08:45,547 Speaker 2: now I've fully appreciated how good our athletes are. We're 1349 01:08:45,547 --> 01:08:47,827 Speaker 2: a nation of five million and on the medal table 1350 01:08:47,867 --> 01:08:50,347 Speaker 2: we're beating India. Yesterday we were in front of Canada 1351 01:08:50,427 --> 01:08:54,547 Speaker 2: for a while. Amazing. The only disappointment I really wanted 1352 01:08:54,587 --> 01:08:57,067 Speaker 2: a shot put gold for Maddie so close. Yes, I did. 1353 01:08:57,107 --> 01:09:00,867 Speaker 2: I and just someone said before about the athletes and 1354 01:09:02,307 --> 01:09:04,267 Speaker 2: having the chance to talk to them and listen to them, 1355 01:09:04,267 --> 01:09:06,307 Speaker 2: because that's the other thing too, right, is these athletes 1356 01:09:07,307 --> 01:09:10,587 Speaker 2: often just beaver away in the background outside of these 1357 01:09:10,667 --> 01:09:13,987 Speaker 2: pinnacle events. And yes, occasionally we hear from them or 1358 01:09:14,067 --> 01:09:19,667 Speaker 2: see them, but it's not regular. And then you listen 1359 01:09:19,747 --> 01:09:23,987 Speaker 2: to people like Maddie Wishy, like Tara Vaughn and Olivia Brett, 1360 01:09:24,427 --> 01:09:33,067 Speaker 2: like Finn Butcher, these fantastic young kiwis, and you think 1361 01:09:33,107 --> 01:09:36,747 Speaker 2: they're just wrapping us. So well, then you look around 1362 01:09:36,787 --> 01:09:39,827 Speaker 2: and your and I know it's different strokes for different folks, 1363 01:09:39,867 --> 01:09:42,547 Speaker 2: and you see a lot of these athletes, particularly in 1364 01:09:42,627 --> 01:09:46,947 Speaker 2: some sports like sprinting for example, or yeah, in fact, 1365 01:09:47,107 --> 01:09:48,907 Speaker 2: sprinting I think is the one that I land on 1366 01:09:48,987 --> 01:09:52,707 Speaker 2: where there's a lot of strutting around, a lot of 1367 01:09:54,187 --> 01:09:57,507 Speaker 2: a lot of outward brashness. And yes that you know 1368 01:09:57,627 --> 01:10:01,547 Speaker 2: that in itself is kind of attractive. I watched Noah 1369 01:10:01,627 --> 01:10:04,707 Speaker 2: Lyles and you know, before the one hundred meters and afterwards, 1370 01:10:04,707 --> 01:10:05,827 Speaker 2: and then of course we all know he came to 1371 01:10:05,867 --> 01:10:08,907 Speaker 2: grief with COVID and the two hundred Shaikhari Richardson, the 1372 01:10:09,467 --> 01:10:12,427 Speaker 2: female sprinter who ran them home in the four x 1373 01:10:12,467 --> 01:10:16,707 Speaker 2: one hundred meters, and they do they are out there, 1374 01:10:17,347 --> 01:10:19,547 Speaker 2: they're out there. But I must say, and maybe it's 1375 01:10:19,587 --> 01:10:22,467 Speaker 2: just a key we thing, I prefer my athletes a 1376 01:10:22,507 --> 01:10:26,587 Speaker 2: little more humble. I love the humility that is displayed 1377 01:10:26,667 --> 01:10:31,547 Speaker 2: by pretty much, without exception, all of our Olympic athletes, 1378 01:10:31,587 --> 01:10:35,427 Speaker 2: certainly the ones who I've seen interviewed and heard interviewed 1379 01:10:35,587 --> 01:10:38,027 Speaker 2: for the most part, ninety nine percent. In fact, I 1380 01:10:38,067 --> 01:10:39,267 Speaker 2: can't think of one, So I'm going to say one 1381 01:10:39,347 --> 01:10:42,067 Speaker 2: hundred percent, one hundred percent of them have shown dignity 1382 01:10:42,227 --> 01:10:46,907 Speaker 2: and pride and humility and I like that. Twenty one 1383 01:10:46,947 --> 01:10:49,107 Speaker 2: to two. We'll get an Australian view at a moment 1384 01:10:49,947 --> 01:10:53,067 Speaker 2: because Adam Peacock, our Australian correspondents standing by the chat 1385 01:10:53,067 --> 01:10:55,907 Speaker 2: to us, what did Olympics? They've had forty eight medals, 1386 01:10:56,027 --> 01:10:58,067 Speaker 2: is it their best ever? Maybe Adam can tell us 1387 01:10:58,067 --> 01:10:59,587 Speaker 2: when we come back on News Talk SEP. 1388 01:11:00,707 --> 01:11:04,507 Speaker 1: The Big Issues on and after Fields Call eight hundred 1389 01:11:04,587 --> 01:11:07,947 Speaker 1: eighty ten eighty weekends for It with Jason Fain and GJ. 1390 01:11:08,147 --> 01:11:11,907 Speaker 1: Gunner Homes New Zealand's first trusted home builder, News Talks. 1391 01:11:11,627 --> 01:11:14,507 Speaker 2: At BB News Talks a B seventeen away from two. 1392 01:11:14,507 --> 01:11:18,387 Speaker 2: I've just been alerted to something on Dame Valerie Adam's instagram, 1393 01:11:18,467 --> 01:11:21,107 Speaker 2: which we're just going to get for you with regards 1394 01:11:21,187 --> 01:11:23,667 Speaker 2: to the shot put and just a bit of confusion 1395 01:11:23,667 --> 01:11:27,027 Speaker 2: about the twenty meter line. Now, she's not suggesting that 1396 01:11:27,067 --> 01:11:30,867 Speaker 2: there was anything untoward it, or that the measurements were 1397 01:11:31,067 --> 01:11:34,707 Speaker 2: correct for Mehdi were she, or for any of the competitors, 1398 01:11:34,787 --> 01:11:37,387 Speaker 2: but just something about where the twenty meter line was placed. 1399 01:11:37,827 --> 01:11:39,867 Speaker 2: Rather than me try and explain it to you, we're 1400 01:11:39,907 --> 01:11:41,867 Speaker 2: just going to get the audio and imply it out 1401 01:11:41,867 --> 01:11:43,867 Speaker 2: to you. Shortly before we do that, let's get across 1402 01:11:43,907 --> 01:11:47,587 Speaker 2: the Tasman where they are swimming in metals. Adam Peacock's 1403 01:11:47,627 --> 01:11:50,547 Speaker 2: with US forty eight and counting, you should bring up 1404 01:11:50,587 --> 01:11:53,907 Speaker 2: fifty equaling what you got on Athens in two thousand 1405 01:11:53,907 --> 01:11:56,947 Speaker 2: and four, fifty eight in Sydney two thousand your home 1406 01:11:57,027 --> 01:11:59,427 Speaker 2: games was your best. You have to look at this 1407 01:11:59,547 --> 01:12:02,787 Speaker 2: as a pretty successful games for Australia, don't you. 1408 01:12:03,267 --> 01:12:05,827 Speaker 24: Yeah, we're calling it our most successful ever based on 1409 01:12:05,867 --> 01:12:09,147 Speaker 24: the fact that eighteen goals is a new record. Seventeen 1410 01:12:09,227 --> 01:12:12,187 Speaker 24: back in Tokyo and Athens two thousand and four was 1411 01:12:12,187 --> 01:12:15,707 Speaker 24: the record there, but no overall medals. We've got one 1412 01:12:15,747 --> 01:12:18,067 Speaker 24: guarantee of the water. Polog is not sure what color, 1413 01:12:18,147 --> 01:12:21,187 Speaker 24: And hopefully we can scratch some one somewhere else, maybe 1414 01:12:21,307 --> 01:12:24,467 Speaker 24: just hole in the fifteen hundred women's or women's jablin 1415 01:12:24,507 --> 01:12:26,747 Speaker 24: throwers who go in their final tomorrow. But it is 1416 01:12:27,187 --> 01:12:29,467 Speaker 24: like everyone's celebrating over here, like they are over there 1417 01:12:29,547 --> 01:12:31,547 Speaker 24: piny and great games. The kiwis. 1418 01:12:31,707 --> 01:12:34,627 Speaker 2: Yeah, it didn't look likely. It didn't look likely to start. 1419 01:12:35,387 --> 01:12:38,507 Speaker 2: We got off to a sluggish start. Is probably best 1420 01:12:38,547 --> 01:12:41,587 Speaker 2: to say a slow worst start. But I think what 1421 01:12:41,707 --> 01:12:43,267 Speaker 2: they say is how you finished, not how you begin. 1422 01:12:43,867 --> 01:12:46,747 Speaker 24: Yeah, exactly exactly where the opposite, because we've got so 1423 01:12:46,867 --> 01:12:50,107 Speaker 24: many good swimmers. Although I'm reading in la in four 1424 01:12:50,227 --> 01:12:52,547 Speaker 24: years song they're going to flip it because they want 1425 01:12:52,627 --> 01:12:55,787 Speaker 24: so far the big stadium for both the swimming and 1426 01:12:55,827 --> 01:12:57,867 Speaker 24: the artic ceremony, and they can't get the pool anytime, 1427 01:12:57,947 --> 01:12:59,347 Speaker 24: So they're going to have the swimming in the second 1428 01:12:59,387 --> 01:13:01,667 Speaker 24: week and the athletics in the first, which is to 1429 01:13:01,667 --> 01:13:03,227 Speaker 24: be a bit funky. But I'm not sure if that's 1430 01:13:03,227 --> 01:13:04,787 Speaker 24: going to hold, but we'll wait and see there. But 1431 01:13:04,987 --> 01:13:05,867 Speaker 24: it's any great games. 1432 01:13:05,947 --> 01:13:08,427 Speaker 2: Yeah, I look at your swimming number seven gold, eight, 1433 01:13:08,507 --> 01:13:12,067 Speaker 2: silver's three bronze eighteen medals in the pool. But you 1434 01:13:12,147 --> 01:13:15,147 Speaker 2: know other sports as well. These are Fox Sisters of 1435 01:13:15,187 --> 01:13:19,747 Speaker 2: yours and the canoe slalom Jessica and no Amy gold, gold, gold, 1436 01:13:19,827 --> 01:13:20,267 Speaker 2: They go all. 1437 01:13:20,267 --> 01:13:26,187 Speaker 24: Right, yeah, superb like Jess was expected with her performances. 1438 01:13:26,267 --> 01:13:29,187 Speaker 24: But Naomi who only I think she was one of 1439 01:13:29,227 --> 01:13:31,427 Speaker 24: the last athletes about four hundred and sixty to be 1440 01:13:31,867 --> 01:13:34,987 Speaker 24: formerly selected, so she had to qualify late and got 1441 01:13:35,027 --> 01:13:37,427 Speaker 24: in in the new kayak cross where they drop them 1442 01:13:37,467 --> 01:13:39,827 Speaker 24: down and they race against each other, a really cool event. 1443 01:13:39,867 --> 01:13:43,467 Speaker 24: I'm glad they bought it in. Yeah, she managed to 1444 01:13:43,707 --> 01:13:45,307 Speaker 24: get a ride on the day and win a gold 1445 01:13:45,347 --> 01:13:47,507 Speaker 24: and it was one of the images of the whole 1446 01:13:48,067 --> 01:13:50,907 Speaker 24: the whole Olympics. When Jess jumped in, she was happier 1447 01:13:51,187 --> 01:13:53,227 Speaker 24: for her sister than what she was for herself when 1448 01:13:53,267 --> 01:13:55,707 Speaker 24: she won her two goals. But also our skateboarders, we 1449 01:13:55,787 --> 01:14:00,187 Speaker 24: won two gold medals in skateboarding. So yeah, across the board, 1450 01:14:00,227 --> 01:14:03,667 Speaker 24: we've got some We've got some athletes who performed in 1451 01:14:03,787 --> 01:14:06,947 Speaker 24: not just one or two chosen sports, but yeah, almost 1452 01:14:06,987 --> 01:14:09,547 Speaker 24: ten or twelve that we're going really well. 1453 01:14:09,787 --> 01:14:12,107 Speaker 2: Yeah, I look across the range of sports that yeah, 1454 01:14:12,187 --> 01:14:14,787 Speaker 2: that you that Australia has middled, and yeah, you land 1455 01:14:14,867 --> 01:14:17,947 Speaker 2: on the traditional ones like swimming and perhaps to a 1456 01:14:18,027 --> 01:14:21,227 Speaker 2: lesser extent, the likes of canoe slalom. But yeah, skateboarding, 1457 01:14:21,947 --> 01:14:25,227 Speaker 2: I think you've got some boxing, a couple of boxing bronzes. 1458 01:14:25,867 --> 01:14:29,827 Speaker 2: Across cycling, you're always pretty strong. High jump. Nina Kennedy 1459 01:14:29,907 --> 01:14:32,947 Speaker 2: winning sorry pole volt winning pole vault gold. We had 1460 01:14:32,987 --> 01:14:36,827 Speaker 2: three Kiwis in this, but Nina Kennedy climb climbing highest 1461 01:14:36,867 --> 01:14:37,667 Speaker 2: of order. Do you catch that? 1462 01:14:38,347 --> 01:14:38,547 Speaker 11: Yeah? 1463 01:14:38,547 --> 01:14:39,227 Speaker 14: I caught that one. 1464 01:14:39,347 --> 01:14:42,467 Speaker 24: She was she was probably our best in an even 1465 01:14:42,547 --> 01:14:45,347 Speaker 24: bunch of our best gold medal chance going into the athletics, 1466 01:14:45,507 --> 01:14:47,627 Speaker 24: and this looks like it's going to be our most 1467 01:14:47,627 --> 01:14:52,427 Speaker 24: successful athletics mate at an Olympic Games for well, going 1468 01:14:52,507 --> 01:14:54,987 Speaker 24: back to the days of Herb Elliott and the like 1469 01:14:55,067 --> 01:14:56,747 Speaker 24: in the in the sixties and John Anne and. 1470 01:14:58,547 --> 01:14:59,467 Speaker 11: Those that crew. 1471 01:14:59,547 --> 01:15:01,707 Speaker 24: And we have great spin sprinders in Marjori and Jackson 1472 01:15:01,787 --> 01:15:05,107 Speaker 24: strick one. But yeah, it's been it's been fantastic because 1473 01:15:05,107 --> 01:15:06,987 Speaker 24: it is such a worldly event. I knew you would 1474 01:15:06,987 --> 01:15:09,627 Speaker 24: have seen it that with your shot putter this morning, 1475 01:15:09,667 --> 01:15:11,947 Speaker 24: for instance, and the women's shot put nearly winning a 1476 01:15:12,027 --> 01:15:16,227 Speaker 24: gold medal that it's just such an even spread, and 1477 01:15:16,307 --> 01:15:19,947 Speaker 24: I think that's what makes it in falling that. Look tomorrow, 1478 01:15:19,987 --> 01:15:22,147 Speaker 24: we've got nine events and we could well have nine 1479 01:15:22,187 --> 01:15:24,707 Speaker 24: different countries winning gold medals for the last day of 1480 01:15:24,747 --> 01:15:27,227 Speaker 24: the athletics. So that's how big this sport is. 1481 01:15:27,427 --> 01:15:29,867 Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is. When you look at the table, 1482 01:15:30,027 --> 01:15:32,307 Speaker 2: I mean, the United States and China are at the 1483 01:15:32,387 --> 01:15:34,547 Speaker 2: moment likely to be at the top of the field, 1484 01:15:34,627 --> 01:15:37,267 Speaker 2: but Australia tucked in there in third place? Is that 1485 01:15:37,507 --> 01:15:41,187 Speaker 2: kind of is third what you aim for? Is it 1486 01:15:41,427 --> 01:15:44,467 Speaker 2: like the beast of the rest outside the two big superpowers? 1487 01:15:45,147 --> 01:15:48,227 Speaker 24: I reckon anything upward of six is pretty good in 1488 01:15:48,347 --> 01:15:51,667 Speaker 24: my estimation given our population, and you're the same. I'm 1489 01:15:51,707 --> 01:15:55,467 Speaker 24: guessing top fifteen feels remarkable for New Zealand, and yeah, 1490 01:15:55,547 --> 01:15:59,427 Speaker 24: top six maybe top five for Australia feels really good. 1491 01:15:59,627 --> 01:16:02,507 Speaker 24: So the best is the fact that America probably has 1492 01:16:02,547 --> 01:16:05,547 Speaker 24: it's in about seven with medals. Overall medals one the 1493 01:16:05,987 --> 01:16:08,387 Speaker 24: America and for that first week. We're very quick to 1494 01:16:08,427 --> 01:16:10,667 Speaker 24: point out that they'd want more medals than everyone's just 1495 01:16:11,027 --> 01:16:14,627 Speaker 24: they weren't actually winning things at the rate that China was. 1496 01:16:14,707 --> 01:16:18,467 Speaker 24: But no, I think beyond the medal tally as well, 1497 01:16:18,667 --> 01:16:20,867 Speaker 24: pointing and you guys will be across this from your 1498 01:16:20,947 --> 01:16:25,107 Speaker 24: perspective that there's so many Australians that are coming up 1499 01:16:25,147 --> 01:16:28,467 Speaker 24: with PBS and young, especially in the athletics. Was at 1500 01:16:28,507 --> 01:16:31,267 Speaker 24: a young team in the sense that they're okay, they're 1501 01:16:31,267 --> 01:16:33,067 Speaker 24: getting run out in the heats or running out in 1502 01:16:33,067 --> 01:16:36,107 Speaker 24: the semi finals, but they're actually producing personal best times 1503 01:16:37,027 --> 01:16:39,427 Speaker 24: and that for me is as important as any metal 1504 01:16:39,467 --> 01:16:40,827 Speaker 24: that you can get if you can go there and 1505 01:16:40,907 --> 01:16:43,187 Speaker 24: do your best and maybe improve off that. We had 1506 01:16:43,187 --> 01:16:46,867 Speaker 24: an eight hundred meter to run Peyton Craig, he's slashed 1507 01:16:46,867 --> 01:16:51,267 Speaker 24: his time by three seconds in the last year. He's nineteen, 1508 01:16:51,947 --> 01:16:54,987 Speaker 24: He's got potentially three more Olympics to go to if 1509 01:16:55,027 --> 01:16:58,147 Speaker 24: he really loves what he's doing. So yeah, it's great 1510 01:16:58,187 --> 01:17:00,787 Speaker 24: to see that as well. It really brings a smile 1511 01:17:00,787 --> 01:17:01,747 Speaker 24: on my face when we see that. 1512 01:17:01,987 --> 01:17:04,867 Speaker 2: Absolutely, and just looking ahead then, because Brisbane of course 1513 01:17:04,907 --> 01:17:07,827 Speaker 2: will host in eight years time, Brisbane twenty thirty two. 1514 01:17:08,027 --> 01:17:11,667 Speaker 2: People starting to talk about that yet yeah, not in a. 1515 01:17:11,667 --> 01:17:15,347 Speaker 24: Positive sense, opining, because they haven't actually made decisions about where, 1516 01:17:15,587 --> 01:17:19,307 Speaker 24: what's going to be where and infrastructure, and I think 1517 01:17:19,307 --> 01:17:22,107 Speaker 24: they're realizing now that they's got a lot to do 1518 01:17:22,787 --> 01:17:24,667 Speaker 24: and a lot to build, and a lot of decisions 1519 01:17:24,707 --> 01:17:27,587 Speaker 24: to make. They've got a state government coming a state 1520 01:17:27,707 --> 01:17:30,787 Speaker 24: government election coming up there in Queensland. As soon as 1521 01:17:30,787 --> 01:17:32,467 Speaker 24: that's done, they're going to have to start making plans 1522 01:17:32,507 --> 01:17:34,987 Speaker 24: because this is getting to the ridiculous stage. But you're 1523 01:17:34,987 --> 01:17:37,707 Speaker 24: looking at these great events and they've got legacy buildings 1524 01:17:37,747 --> 01:17:40,387 Speaker 24: that they're using really well, like start the Trances was 1525 01:17:40,427 --> 01:17:46,147 Speaker 24: already there, built over twenty five years ago. And Brisbane 1526 01:17:46,227 --> 01:17:48,707 Speaker 24: have one big stadium where they're having the Ruggy this 1527 01:17:48,787 --> 01:17:51,147 Speaker 24: afternoon with the wallity is taken on South Africa, and 1528 01:17:51,187 --> 01:17:54,627 Speaker 24: apart from that, there's not a stack of already built 1529 01:17:54,907 --> 01:17:59,507 Speaker 24: at venue. So they got some massive decisions to make 1530 01:17:59,547 --> 01:18:02,107 Speaker 24: in the next twelve months. But yeah, it's if you 1531 01:18:02,187 --> 01:18:04,027 Speaker 24: get it right. Paris is shown that it can be 1532 01:18:04,107 --> 01:18:06,307 Speaker 24: a magnificent event and it's just buying me away about 1533 01:18:06,467 --> 01:18:08,467 Speaker 24: how well it's gone, how well it's gone so far. 1534 01:18:08,667 --> 01:18:11,547 Speaker 2: Indeed, it's been great. Catching up has always enjoy the 1535 01:18:11,627 --> 01:18:12,987 Speaker 2: last couple of days. I hope you can push that 1536 01:18:13,107 --> 01:18:16,347 Speaker 2: metal tally even higher. Let's catch up again next Saturday. 1537 01:18:17,027 --> 01:18:18,587 Speaker 24: Thanks thanks by sound Good. 1538 01:18:18,667 --> 01:18:21,947 Speaker 2: Thanks mate, Adam Pecock, our Australian correspondent. Right here is 1539 01:18:22,227 --> 01:18:25,307 Speaker 2: Dame Valerie Adams. Let me just find this audio for 1540 01:18:25,467 --> 01:18:30,547 Speaker 2: you talking about the twenty meter mark for the shot put. 1541 01:18:30,907 --> 01:18:32,507 Speaker 2: All right now it's a little bit hard to hear 1542 01:18:32,547 --> 01:18:35,427 Speaker 2: because there's some background noise, but here is Dame Valerie 1543 01:18:35,427 --> 01:18:36,507 Speaker 2: Adams with her thoughts on that. 1544 01:18:36,867 --> 01:18:36,987 Speaker 5: Now. 1545 01:18:37,227 --> 01:18:40,307 Speaker 21: I know I shouldn't really have been but one negative 1546 01:18:40,387 --> 01:18:41,107 Speaker 21: thing about. 1547 01:18:40,907 --> 01:18:45,427 Speaker 2: The combinations around it was the twenty meter line has not. 1548 01:18:45,627 --> 01:18:46,987 Speaker 5: Faced in the great position. 1549 01:18:47,507 --> 01:18:49,107 Speaker 9: So what I mean, my dad was that. 1550 01:18:51,107 --> 01:18:54,147 Speaker 2: Lane and it wasn't wasn't measure in twenty meters. 1551 01:18:55,387 --> 01:18:58,587 Speaker 18: Totally bad form as an a pleasure when you heard. 1552 01:18:58,707 --> 01:19:00,467 Speaker 2: Of the line was when you meet alone. 1553 01:19:00,347 --> 01:19:03,867 Speaker 6: Is such a good deal? Broken the barrier that you've 1554 01:19:03,907 --> 01:19:05,187 Speaker 6: been chasing such a long time. 1555 01:19:05,347 --> 01:19:07,627 Speaker 21: So now we're seven is appointed. 1556 01:19:09,387 --> 01:19:10,307 Speaker 14: A measurement. 1557 01:19:11,507 --> 01:19:13,507 Speaker 7: And I'm sure some of the athletes you're thinking there 1558 01:19:13,747 --> 01:19:15,987 Speaker 7: close to twenty meters, but actually it only He's just. 1559 01:19:16,067 --> 01:19:20,547 Speaker 2: Like, yes, I'm not sure why you're not about this now, 1560 01:19:20,747 --> 01:19:21,187 Speaker 2: what's done. 1561 01:19:21,227 --> 01:19:21,587 Speaker 5: It's done. 1562 01:19:21,667 --> 01:19:24,987 Speaker 2: However, it's good learnings for that's not to happen again. 1563 01:19:25,067 --> 01:19:26,027 Speaker 5: I think that's competition. 1564 01:19:26,267 --> 01:19:31,347 Speaker 2: But there, okay, So that's dan Valarie Adams. She was 1565 01:19:31,387 --> 01:19:33,187 Speaker 2: there at the at the shot put com. So what 1566 01:19:33,267 --> 01:19:35,947 Speaker 2: she's saying is that the twenty meter line is not 1567 01:19:36,027 --> 01:19:38,707 Speaker 2: twenty meters. She's not suggesting for a second that there 1568 01:19:38,747 --> 01:19:42,267 Speaker 2: were incorrect measurements here, but just that if a shot 1569 01:19:42,427 --> 01:19:45,947 Speaker 2: went close to or even over where twenty meters was 1570 01:19:46,027 --> 01:19:49,427 Speaker 2: marked with the line on the grass, that once you 1571 01:19:49,547 --> 01:19:52,387 Speaker 2: measured it using the electronic gear, it wasn't twenty meters. 1572 01:19:52,987 --> 01:19:55,147 Speaker 2: And like she says, you know when you if you 1573 01:19:55,227 --> 01:19:58,707 Speaker 2: get that visual cueue of the shot hitting that line, thinking, man, 1574 01:19:58,707 --> 01:20:01,867 Speaker 2: I've thrown at twenty meters, us watching saying she's thrown 1575 01:20:01,867 --> 01:20:04,547 Speaker 2: at twenty meters. And maybe that's what happened with Maddie 1576 01:20:04,547 --> 01:20:08,067 Speaker 2: Wishy's final throw. I honestly thought it was over twenty 1577 01:20:08,147 --> 01:20:11,547 Speaker 2: meters and we knew that the previous or the throw 1578 01:20:11,587 --> 01:20:14,547 Speaker 2: she had to beat was twenty meters exactly. So anything 1579 01:20:14,667 --> 01:20:16,587 Speaker 2: up there, anything that hit that line, we're like, hey, 1580 01:20:16,627 --> 01:20:21,587 Speaker 2: she's one. She's won. But from what Dan Valerie was saying, 1581 01:20:21,627 --> 01:20:28,667 Speaker 2: there the lines in the wrong place. So interesting. Eight 1582 01:20:28,747 --> 01:20:31,547 Speaker 2: to two News Talk z EB breaking. 1583 01:20:31,307 --> 01:20:36,227 Speaker 1: Down the hail Mary's and the EMPIC fails Weekend Sport 1584 01:20:36,427 --> 01:20:39,067 Speaker 1: with Jason Pin News Talk ZENB. 1585 01:20:39,267 --> 01:20:42,307 Speaker 2: Five to one couple of residual textas a text before 1586 01:20:42,347 --> 01:20:43,747 Speaker 2: we go to the news. Jason, can you let us 1587 01:20:43,787 --> 01:20:46,027 Speaker 2: know Lydia's tea time. I'm definitely gonna watch her whole 1588 01:20:46,067 --> 01:20:48,867 Speaker 2: fourth round, says Dave. Dave, I can. It's at ten 1589 01:20:49,027 --> 01:20:51,947 Speaker 2: thirty nine tonight. Ten thirty nine is when she teaes 1590 01:20:51,987 --> 01:20:55,547 Speaker 2: often the leading group alongside Morgan Matrou and Ruining yin 1591 01:20:56,227 --> 01:20:59,747 Speaker 2: the Swiss and Chinese golfers. Ten thirty nine tonight is 1592 01:20:59,787 --> 01:21:02,827 Speaker 2: when she will be teeing off pintly. We know where 1593 01:21:02,827 --> 01:21:04,987 Speaker 2: we are on the middle table by medals, but where 1594 01:21:05,067 --> 01:21:08,507 Speaker 2: are we medals by population? Yeah, this is the whole 1595 01:21:08,747 --> 01:21:13,667 Speaker 2: medals per capita table, Scott. I tend to approach this 1596 01:21:14,107 --> 01:21:16,507 Speaker 2: with a small degree of cynicism. I feel like it's 1597 01:21:16,587 --> 01:21:20,507 Speaker 2: padding our stats, but I do accept that it is 1598 01:21:21,067 --> 01:21:24,747 Speaker 2: interesting to check out medals by population medals per capita. 1599 01:21:24,787 --> 01:21:27,547 Speaker 2: So I will tell you that we're currently although this 1600 01:21:27,787 --> 01:21:31,147 Speaker 2: was done when we only had fourteen medals, so it's 1601 01:21:31,187 --> 01:21:33,027 Speaker 2: not up to date, which isn't that handy, but I 1602 01:21:33,067 --> 01:21:35,587 Speaker 2: think it still has us of the same position. Fourth 1603 01:21:37,387 --> 01:21:41,307 Speaker 2: fourth Grenada with their two medals and a population of 1604 01:21:41,347 --> 01:21:45,107 Speaker 2: one hundred and twelve thousand a top. Then Dominica with 1605 01:21:45,267 --> 01:21:48,547 Speaker 2: the one medal for sixty seven thousand, and Saint Lucia 1606 01:21:49,907 --> 01:21:53,307 Speaker 2: two medals for their one hundred and eighty four thousand people. 1607 01:21:53,987 --> 01:21:56,907 Speaker 2: So that's those are the top three. Then US and 1608 01:21:57,267 --> 01:22:00,387 Speaker 2: when we had fourteen it was one medal per three 1609 01:22:00,507 --> 01:22:03,627 Speaker 2: hundred and eighty one thousand people. That will obviously be 1610 01:22:04,427 --> 01:22:07,907 Speaker 2: a lower number now because we have metals. I'm sure 1611 01:22:07,947 --> 01:22:09,547 Speaker 2: you can do the mass if that's interesting to you, 1612 01:22:09,667 --> 01:22:13,827 Speaker 2: but yeah, I get the per capita.

When people 1743 01:29:20,147 --> 01:29:21,987 Speaker 7: sort of do that kind of makes you realize, you know, 1744 01:29:22,067 --> 01:29:24,027 Speaker 7: what you've achieved in such a short amount of time. 1745 01:29:24,947 --> 01:29:27,147 Speaker 7: You know, three of the biggest tournaments in my eyes 1746 01:29:27,227 --> 01:29:29,787 Speaker 7: that I've dreamed of winning. It was obviously the World Championships, 1747 01:29:29,827 --> 01:29:31,587 Speaker 7: the Max Player in the World Cup. And to do 1748 01:29:31,627 --> 01:29:33,427 Speaker 7: them more in the space of six seven months, obviously 1749 01:29:33,467 --> 01:29:36,267 Speaker 7: it's unbelievable. So you know, I've achieved a lot already 1750 01:29:36,307 --> 01:29:38,507 Speaker 7: in this game, but I'll want to keep striving for more. 1751 01:29:38,547 --> 01:29:39,947 Speaker 7: I want to keep pushing out, I want to win 1752 01:29:39,987 --> 01:29:40,547 Speaker 7: more titles. 1753 01:29:40,987 --> 01:29:42,627 Speaker 2: Look, what do you put it down to? What's been 1754 01:29:42,707 --> 01:29:44,747 Speaker 2: behind this incredible run of form? 1755 01:29:45,587 --> 01:29:47,427 Speaker 7: I think I don't really know. I can pinp up, 1756 01:29:47,427 --> 01:29:48,867 Speaker 7: but I think the game's always been there. Over the 1757 01:29:48,987 --> 01:29:51,027 Speaker 7: last two to three years, you know, that game's been there. 1758 01:29:51,027 --> 01:29:53,027 Speaker 7: I've been showing glimpses of it. It's just the you know, 1759 01:29:53,147 --> 01:29:56,867 Speaker 7: the consistency level that lacked. But you know, since I 1760 01:29:56,907 --> 01:30:00,387 Speaker 7: won my first major title back in last October, it 1761 01:30:00,467 --> 01:30:02,347 Speaker 7: give me that belief and that confidence to go on 1762 01:30:02,467 --> 01:30:06,267 Speaker 7: and keep repeating the feet and you know, since that moment, 1763 01:30:06,347 --> 01:30:07,947 Speaker 7: and I feel like I've not looked back, and I've 1764 01:30:07,987 --> 01:30:11,307 Speaker 7: been you know, much more mentally strong and more consistent. 1765 01:30:11,347 --> 01:30:12,867 Speaker 3: And I feel like the more I play, the better 1766 01:30:12,907 --> 01:30:13,227 Speaker 3: I'll get. 1767 01:30:13,307 --> 01:30:14,867 Speaker 7: So the amount of darts I've thrown over the last 1768 01:30:14,867 --> 01:30:17,427 Speaker 7: twelve months is obviously helping me and keep playing all 1769 01:30:17,467 --> 01:30:19,187 Speaker 7: the time. It's just building my game to bigger and 1770 01:30:19,227 --> 01:30:19,787 Speaker 7: better levels. 1771 01:30:20,227 --> 01:30:22,147 Speaker 2: Is that also part of the sacred or not so 1772 01:30:22,227 --> 01:30:24,107 Speaker 2: much the sacred, but just the reason that you're just 1773 01:30:24,187 --> 01:30:26,667 Speaker 2: spending hours and hours and hours just throwing darts at 1774 01:30:26,667 --> 01:30:28,587 Speaker 2: the board, the prip that you're putting in. 1775 01:30:29,627 --> 01:30:32,227 Speaker 7: Yeah, and there's also a few facts of experience, you know, 1776 01:30:32,347 --> 01:30:36,187 Speaker 7: when you're putting to these positions of you know, close games, 1777 01:30:36,347 --> 01:30:38,267 Speaker 7: and you know, if you're not really used to playing 1778 01:30:38,307 --> 01:30:40,147 Speaker 7: in many you can kind of feel a bit nervy 1779 01:30:40,187 --> 01:30:42,627 Speaker 7: and they sometimes mostly don't go your way.

And 1937 01:36:49,187 --> 01:36:52,467 Speaker 7: then you know, at the back end of last year, 1938 01:36:52,827 --> 01:36:55,387 Speaker 7: he was winning Modus Series, Super Series This which is 1939 01:36:55,987 --> 01:36:59,747 Speaker 7: a smaller organization that helping the amateurs game, and he 1940 01:36:59,827 --> 01:37:01,507 Speaker 7: was winning them against great players, and I knew he 1941 01:37:01,627 --> 01:37:02,987 Speaker 7: was going to play well in the World. I didn't 1942 01:37:02,987 --> 01:37:04,827 Speaker 7: expect him to make the final, I must admit, but 1943 01:37:05,267 --> 01:37:07,627 Speaker 7: I expected him to, you know, to have a good run. 1944 01:37:07,947 --> 01:37:09,747 Speaker 3: But he exceeded all expectations. 1945 01:37:09,827 --> 01:37:11,787 Speaker 7: And there's no fear that he showed throughout that World 1946 01:37:11,867 --> 01:37:14,187 Speaker 7: Championship is what was most admirable to me. 1947 01:37:14,307 --> 01:37:15,587 Speaker 3: I thought it was just unbelievable. 1948 01:37:15,627 --> 01:37:17,707 Speaker 7: And I can imagine if I was sixteen walk up 1949 01:37:17,747 --> 01:37:19,147 Speaker 7: on that big stage, I would have felt a bit 1950 01:37:19,187 --> 01:37:19,987 Speaker 7: apprehension or a bit. 1951 01:37:20,027 --> 01:37:21,427 Speaker 3: Nervous, But he didn't show that. 1952 01:37:21,547 --> 01:37:24,547 Speaker 7: So that's a side of him, regardless of his ability, 1953 01:37:24,587 --> 01:37:25,827 Speaker 7: that's absolutely insane as well. 1954 01:37:26,347 --> 01:37:29,627 Speaker 2: You talk before look about big checkouts and one hundred 1955 01:37:29,667 --> 01:37:32,787 Speaker 2: plus checkouts. Is that something that you work hard on? 1956 01:37:34,067 --> 01:37:34,547 Speaker 21: Yes, I do. 1957 01:37:35,427 --> 01:37:38,507 Speaker 7: I work on that, not loads, but I do work 1958 01:37:38,547 --> 01:37:40,387 Speaker 7: and I think that one thing that's improved in my 1959 01:37:40,707 --> 01:37:43,467 Speaker 7: game the last two years is my finishing, My score 1960 01:37:43,507 --> 01:37:45,867 Speaker 7: and power has always been there, but unfortunately my doubles 1961 01:37:45,907 --> 01:37:47,707 Speaker 7: are let me down in the wrong times, and that 1962 01:37:47,867 --> 01:37:50,707 Speaker 7: is what separates the best from you know, the lower 1963 01:37:50,787 --> 01:37:53,947 Speaker 7: ranked players. And for me, I think that I've managed 1964 01:37:53,987 --> 01:37:57,587 Speaker 7: to work hard on my finishing and my high finishing 1965 01:37:57,667 --> 01:37:59,587 Speaker 7: and hitting the right checkouts at the right time, you know, 1966 01:37:59,707 --> 01:38:02,707 Speaker 7: if you need a big checkout here and really hurts 1967 01:38:02,747 --> 01:38:04,587 Speaker 7: the player if you take it out in that most 1968 01:38:04,707 --> 01:38:07,067 Speaker 7: annoying time and if you're three or four all to 1969 01:38:07,227 --> 01:38:09,267 Speaker 7: get to get away, get a lead, you know. So 1970 01:38:09,747 --> 01:38:11,667 Speaker 7: I've really worked on that in my game and I 1971 01:38:11,707 --> 01:38:13,747 Speaker 7: feel like that's that's something that I'm excelling in now. 1972 01:38:13,987 --> 01:38:16,347 Speaker 7: But like you said, yeah, I have been working harder 1973 01:38:16,427 --> 01:38:18,107 Speaker 7: my you know, my big finishes because they do get 1974 01:38:18,147 --> 01:38:19,107 Speaker 7: me out of trouble sometimes. 1975 01:38:19,347 --> 01:38:21,827 Speaker 2: Well, Ye're going well at the moment. But being a 1976 01:38:21,907 --> 01:38:23,947 Speaker 2: journey hasn't it like a lot of top sports people. 1977 01:38:23,987 --> 01:38:26,947 Speaker 2: This hasn't just happened overnight for you. Your journey hasn't 1978 01:38:26,987 --> 01:38:30,347 Speaker 2: been without its challenges along the way. Did you always believe, though, Luke, 1979 01:38:30,387 --> 01:38:32,267 Speaker 2: you could you could do what you've done. 1980 01:38:34,187 --> 01:38:37,667 Speaker 3: Yeah, my journey was really the nice way to do it. 1981 01:38:37,707 --> 01:38:37,827 Speaker 8: You know. 1982 01:38:37,907 --> 01:38:40,027 Speaker 7: It started off here and it sort of gently went up. 1983 01:38:40,107 --> 01:38:42,747 Speaker 7: And I started off as a as a youth playing 1984 01:38:42,787 --> 01:38:45,467 Speaker 7: on the development tool on the PDC and I earned 1985 01:38:45,507 --> 01:38:47,667 Speaker 7: my right through whenning that in I think it was 1986 01:38:47,747 --> 01:38:50,027 Speaker 7: twenty eighteen, so it was about seven years ago now 1987 01:38:50,147 --> 01:38:53,547 Speaker 7: nearly obviously played fantastic on that. You know, there was 1988 01:38:53,587 --> 01:38:55,227 Speaker 7: the likes of who you know in this competition as well, 1989 01:38:55,347 --> 01:38:57,227 Speaker 7: Dmitri Vanderburgh was in that and I managed to do 1990 01:38:57,467 --> 01:38:59,267 Speaker 7: to beat him to the top spot, and so I 1991 01:38:59,347 --> 01:39:01,987 Speaker 7: knew the potential was there. And then obviously, first year 1992 01:39:02,027 --> 01:39:04,347 Speaker 7: I made the court finals of the World Championship. Second 1993 01:39:04,427 --> 01:39:06,347 Speaker 7: year I made the court finals for the World Championship, 1994 01:39:06,667 --> 01:39:09,467 Speaker 7: and obviously COVID hit and that that made you take 1995 01:39:09,467 --> 01:39:11,147 Speaker 7: a bit of a step back, to be honest, because 1996 01:39:11,267 --> 01:39:12,307 Speaker 7: I couldn't play regularly. 1997 01:39:12,787 --> 01:39:14,227 Speaker 2: But but for me it helped. 1998 01:39:14,267 --> 01:39:16,827 Speaker 3: I lost a lot of weight in COVID. After in 1999 01:39:16,907 --> 01:39:18,387 Speaker 3: between COVID and I. 2000 01:39:18,467 --> 01:39:22,067 Speaker 7: Come back a much more fresher, better player and obviously 2001 01:39:22,187 --> 01:39:25,147 Speaker 7: made my first major final just as we were sort 2002 01:39:25,147 --> 01:39:26,307 Speaker 7: of coming out of COVID a little bit. 2003 01:39:26,307 --> 01:39:28,027 Speaker 3: And then, you know, I never looked back from that moment. 2004 01:39:28,107 --> 01:39:28,587 Speaker 5: That was the key. 2005 01:39:28,667 --> 01:39:30,547 Speaker 7: In twenty twenty one, when I made the u Copen final. 2006 01:39:31,027 --> 01:39:33,147 Speaker 7: You know that was that was when the surge of 2007 01:39:33,627 --> 01:39:37,147 Speaker 7: me going on upwards curve really did start. And you know, 2008 01:39:37,187 --> 01:39:38,547 Speaker 7: I look back to that moment. I think that was 2009 01:39:38,667 --> 01:39:39,467 Speaker 7: that was the making of me. 2010 01:39:40,147 --> 01:39:42,867 Speaker 2: All right, favorite double.

She's shown some pretty great form there, 2104 01:44:15,067 --> 01:44:15,667 Speaker 19: so to take. 2105 01:44:15,627 --> 01:44:16,187 Speaker 11: Him to the final. 2106 01:44:16,467 --> 01:44:18,947 Speaker 2: When you were watching qualifying as we all were, how 2107 01:44:19,067 --> 01:44:22,627 Speaker 2: worried were you when he missed twice at two twenty? 2108 01:44:25,347 --> 01:44:26,707 Speaker 11: Look, I guess I've. 2109 01:44:26,587 --> 01:44:30,627 Speaker 19: Been there and done that in certain situations. Yeah, look, 2110 01:44:30,667 --> 01:44:34,347 Speaker 19: it's never a fun time, he has no doubt. Sort 2111 01:44:34,387 --> 01:44:36,387 Speaker 19: of collected his thoughts when I had a chat to 2112 01:44:36,467 --> 01:44:40,427 Speaker 19: James Sandlin's coach and basically got as got. 2113 01:44:40,347 --> 01:44:41,227 Speaker 24: As a head together. 2114 01:44:41,707 --> 01:44:43,907 Speaker 19: It was never really going to be a challenging thing 2115 01:44:43,987 --> 01:44:45,907 Speaker 19: for him until he was looking at a third of tenth, 2116 01:44:46,427 --> 01:44:49,307 Speaker 19: but he locked him. He knew that he just needed 2117 01:44:49,347 --> 01:44:51,747 Speaker 19: to get a stuff together and the depth in that 2118 01:44:51,947 --> 01:44:54,707 Speaker 19: final was not something that was too scary for him. 2119 01:44:54,787 --> 01:44:57,747 Speaker 19: I guess a lot of guys around him weren't jumping 2120 01:44:57,747 --> 01:44:59,747 Speaker 19: anywhere near as high as what he's capable of. So 2121 01:44:59,827 --> 01:45:01,867 Speaker 19: he got it together and once he did, he relaxed, 2122 01:45:02,467 --> 01:45:04,147 Speaker 19: as he did in the world indoors as well. Once 2123 01:45:04,187 --> 01:45:07,267 Speaker 19: he was in front, he got it stuff together, You're 2124 01:45:07,347 --> 01:45:08,787 Speaker 19: performed and did what he needed to do. 2125 01:45:09,187 --> 01:45:11,827 Speaker 2: How much pressure is there, Roger, when you're lining up 2126 01:45:11,867 --> 01:45:14,667 Speaker 2: the third attempt at any height knowing that, okay, I 2127 01:45:14,747 --> 01:45:17,867 Speaker 2: got to clear this all that said, how much pressure 2128 01:45:17,987 --> 01:45:20,467 Speaker 2: is there and what is the best process to combat that? 2129 01:45:23,147 --> 01:45:26,307 Speaker 19: I look, I think if I look in a flashback 2130 01:45:26,347 --> 01:45:28,587 Speaker 19: when when I was competing back in the Middle Ages, 2131 01:45:29,627 --> 01:45:31,347 Speaker 19: you when I had to talk to your coach you 2132 01:45:31,747 --> 01:45:34,267 Speaker 19: didn't get to see any smartphones or iPads with what 2133 01:45:34,427 --> 01:45:37,907 Speaker 19: you were doing exactly wrong at the time, You couldn't 2134 01:45:37,947 --> 01:45:41,787 Speaker 19: refer to anything. You just basically have to trust what 2135 01:45:41,947 --> 01:45:43,947 Speaker 19: you know you can do, make sure you've got all 2136 01:45:43,987 --> 01:45:46,907 Speaker 19: your marks right in terms of your take off, and 2137 01:45:47,107 --> 01:45:49,907 Speaker 19: just try and stay calm but aggressive at the same time, 2138 01:45:49,987 --> 01:45:53,827 Speaker 19: which is a tricky juggling act. But no, they're never 2139 01:45:53,907 --> 01:45:57,107 Speaker 19: a lot of fun, but they are a few minutes 2140 01:45:57,147 --> 01:45:59,907 Speaker 19: to lock in a third attempt clearance, especially when you 2141 01:45:59,987 --> 01:46:02,307 Speaker 19: take the middle of somebody else with that particular jump. 2142 01:46:02,427 --> 01:46:04,947 Speaker 19: So yeah, it's always a juggling act. 2143 01:46:05,387 --> 01:46:09,987 Speaker 2: How much of high jump there's mental, Yeah, there's a lot. 2144 01:46:10,147 --> 01:46:12,427 Speaker 19: There's a lot. There's a lot of mental stuff going on. 2145 01:46:12,547 --> 01:46:14,147 Speaker 19: There's a lot of trying to psych your other guy 2146 01:46:14,227 --> 01:46:16,907 Speaker 19: out as well, depending on what type of person you are. 2147 01:46:17,067 --> 01:46:19,387 Speaker 19: If if you're no allows, you're going to come out 2148 01:46:19,427 --> 01:46:22,387 Speaker 19: like a jumping beam on sprintle out of the track 2149 01:46:22,467 --> 01:46:25,187 Speaker 19: before you get the race, try and get everyone else's here. 2150 01:46:25,627 --> 01:46:30,107 Speaker 19: Everyone has their own process. Everyone goes through what they 2151 01:46:30,187 --> 01:46:33,387 Speaker 19: need to do in their own way, some very very aggressive, 2152 01:46:33,467 --> 01:46:36,947 Speaker 19: some quietly just sort of think about it. But yet 2153 01:46:37,867 --> 01:46:39,707 Speaker 19: there's a lot of mental stuff going on. You just 2154 01:46:39,827 --> 01:46:41,707 Speaker 19: have to make sure that you think about you know 2155 01:46:41,827 --> 01:46:44,427 Speaker 19: where you take offers, that you're hitting your marks and 2156 01:46:44,467 --> 01:46:47,787 Speaker 19: you run up, and that you're allowing for certain things 2157 01:46:47,827 --> 01:46:50,467 Speaker 19: around you, whether it be a distraction of a middle 2158 01:46:50,507 --> 01:46:52,907 Speaker 19: distance race and the lanes in front of you, if 2159 01:46:52,947 --> 01:46:55,187 Speaker 19: you've got alonger run up, et cetera. You just get 2160 01:46:55,267 --> 01:46:56,867 Speaker 19: to make sure that you lock everything in and do 2161 01:46:56,947 --> 01:46:57,547 Speaker 19: everything you can do. 2162 01:46:58,587 --> 01:47:01,067 Speaker 2: If we look at the twelve man field that Hamish 2163 01:47:01,307 --> 01:47:03,627 Speaker 2: is a part of, where do your eyes land when 2164 01:47:03,627 --> 01:47:05,587 Speaker 2: you look at his biggest threats for the podium? 2165 01:47:07,907 --> 01:47:11,827 Speaker 19: I guess when we look at who he's got in 2166 01:47:11,907 --> 01:47:15,787 Speaker 19: front of him, he's got the joints Olympic champions tam 2167 01:47:15,867 --> 01:47:20,667 Speaker 19: Burry for Midaly and Basheen pretty well decorated, especially Baschen. 2168 01:47:21,987 --> 01:47:24,507 Speaker 19: If you look at personal best, Barshines jumped to forty 2169 01:47:24,547 --> 01:47:27,187 Speaker 19: three and probably should have had the world record before 2170 01:47:27,227 --> 01:47:30,627 Speaker 19: he got some injury problems around about ten years ago. 2171 01:47:30,627 --> 01:47:34,747 Speaker 19: I think Basheen jumped to forty three. Tamburry recently jumped 2172 01:47:34,747 --> 01:47:39,627 Speaker 19: to thirty seven in the European Championships, but they both 2173 01:47:39,707 --> 01:47:41,707 Speaker 19: have a few wishes. Tamburry tends to be a little 2174 01:47:41,707 --> 01:47:46,147 Speaker 19: bit of ratic, which is a good thing. And he's 2175 01:47:46,187 --> 01:47:48,467 Speaker 19: actually had a few health issues. I think before he 2176 01:47:48,507 --> 01:47:51,587 Speaker 19: went into the qualifying he was having few issues with 2177 01:47:51,667 --> 01:47:53,707 Speaker 19: some affections and problem. I think he was still in 2178 01:47:53,747 --> 01:47:57,867 Speaker 19: the hospital about two days out from the qualifying. Basheen 2179 01:47:58,427 --> 01:48:01,187 Speaker 19: is fragile. He had a few league issues in the qualifying, 2180 01:48:01,747 --> 01:48:04,027 Speaker 19: but he can still bring some pretty big heights. Those 2181 01:48:04,067 --> 01:48:07,667 Speaker 19: who are a danger and the other one as Samuel 2182 01:48:07,787 --> 01:48:11,347 Speaker 19: Wu from South Korea who won the World Indoors twenty 2183 01:48:11,427 --> 01:48:14,467 Speaker 19: twenty two. He's capable. He's sort of personal best of 2184 01:48:14,507 --> 01:48:17,987 Speaker 19: two twenty six. I'd say he would be probably in 2185 01:48:18,107 --> 01:48:21,067 Speaker 19: my estimation, the biggest threat, along with maybe Bashing. That's 2186 01:48:21,107 --> 01:48:24,187 Speaker 19: what I'm picking. The rest of them, they're just happy 2187 01:48:24,267 --> 01:48:26,507 Speaker 19: to be there. I think seasonal best probably the highest 2188 01:48:26,547 --> 01:48:30,427 Speaker 19: of the rest is around about two thirty two thirty 2189 01:48:30,507 --> 01:48:35,707 Speaker 19: one type of thing, probably n killing the American guys. 2190 01:48:35,747 --> 01:48:38,307 Speaker 19: The other guy that's a threat, Jivorn Horrison, who I 2191 01:48:38,387 --> 01:48:40,787 Speaker 19: picked as a real danger, had some missus and went 2192 01:48:40,827 --> 01:48:44,347 Speaker 19: out and qualifying. So Hamish is looking pretty good. He's 2193 01:48:44,387 --> 01:48:48,987 Speaker 19: obviously top ranked and he's probably got about everyone's there 2194 01:48:49,027 --> 01:48:51,227 Speaker 19: to worry about. I guess but probably about two or 2195 01:48:51,267 --> 01:48:55,227 Speaker 19: three dangers for him indsneath have a clean card in 2196 01:48:55,307 --> 01:48:56,067 Speaker 19: terms of attempts. 2197 01:48:56,507 --> 01:49:02,227 Speaker 2: Do you reckon he's got a two forty in him, Hamish. 2198 01:49:02,267 --> 01:49:05,307 Speaker 19: He has a two forty in them, potentially in a 2199 01:49:05,387 --> 01:49:09,507 Speaker 19: more relaxing competent and maybe look's if he's a clear 2200 01:49:09,587 --> 01:49:12,947 Speaker 19: winner here early like he was in the world indoors, 2201 01:49:13,987 --> 01:49:17,187 Speaker 19: I think two thirty one they were done and dusted 2202 01:49:17,227 --> 01:49:19,347 Speaker 19: and so he much relax and jump. Two thirty six 2203 01:49:19,507 --> 01:49:21,387 Speaker 19: Indoors is a little bit different because you tend to 2204 01:49:21,467 --> 01:49:25,467 Speaker 19: have some quite springy services. I think in twenty twenty 2205 01:49:25,547 --> 01:49:28,387 Speaker 19: two the surface was six meters above a basketball court 2206 01:49:28,427 --> 01:49:30,867 Speaker 19: on scaffolding, so he told me it was like a 2207 01:49:30,947 --> 01:49:35,707 Speaker 19: bit of a mini tramp. So indoors too forty maybe there, 2208 01:49:36,507 --> 01:49:40,907 Speaker 19: I think. I think a clean sheet two thirty five 2209 01:49:41,027 --> 01:49:43,867 Speaker 19: to thirty six will absolutely lock at him this time. 2210 01:49:45,427 --> 01:49:47,947 Speaker 19: Don't quite go on that, I guess, but he's got 2211 01:49:48,027 --> 01:49:50,867 Speaker 19: two forty in them, especially with the I guess, the 2212 01:49:50,907 --> 01:49:53,147 Speaker 19: amount of support and the resource that you get these 2213 01:49:53,267 --> 01:49:56,587 Speaker 19: days around him, there's definitely one that he has in there. 2214 01:49:56,987 --> 01:49:59,707 Speaker 19: He's strong enough, he's he's competitive enough, he's got a 2215 01:49:59,707 --> 01:50:02,747 Speaker 19: good head on him. Not sure if it's today. I 2216 01:50:02,827 --> 01:50:08,347 Speaker 19: mean seven years ago there was sorry, ten years ago 2217 01:50:08,347 --> 01:50:10,307 Speaker 19: there were seven guys who were jumping to forty and 2218 01:50:10,467 --> 01:50:12,227 Speaker 19: traditionally there's been a lot of guys in the past. 2219 01:50:12,947 --> 01:50:15,387 Speaker 19: When I was competing, there was about eight or nine 2220 01:50:15,427 --> 01:50:16,507 Speaker 19: guys for jumping out. 2221 01:50:16,427 --> 01:50:17,067 Speaker 11: Of two forty. 2222 01:50:17,627 --> 01:50:20,307 Speaker 19: So it's possible. And from what I've seen and the 2223 01:50:20,347 --> 01:50:22,667 Speaker 19: guys in the past fame, it's definitely got the credentials 2224 01:50:22,667 --> 01:50:23,867 Speaker 19: to put them together for sure. 2225 01:50:24,307 --> 01:50:28,227 Speaker 2: And does auto matter Roger, he's twelfth and last to go, 2226 01:50:28,467 --> 01:50:31,547 Speaker 2: does that make any difference? Positively or negatively? 2227 01:50:34,347 --> 01:50:37,427 Speaker 19: I guess positively. You can lock in the big jumps 2228 01:50:37,467 --> 01:50:40,907 Speaker 19: first attent and really put the screws on people. If 2229 01:50:40,987 --> 01:50:43,267 Speaker 19: you're last and you've got you've got another crack at 2230 01:50:43,267 --> 01:50:45,027 Speaker 19: it when you see everyone else is going over, so 2231 01:50:45,147 --> 01:50:46,067 Speaker 19: you do have a chance. 2232 01:50:47,387 --> 01:50:50,427 Speaker 11: I think first up is. 2233 01:50:52,387 --> 01:50:54,907 Speaker 19: For myself would be an advantage, I guess if there 2234 01:50:55,027 --> 01:50:57,187 Speaker 19: is one, because you can lock that one and without 2235 01:50:57,347 --> 01:51:00,867 Speaker 19: or worry about what anyone else has done. So yeah, 2236 01:51:01,467 --> 01:51:03,467 Speaker 19: it's worthwhile if you can go first, I think, or 2237 01:51:03,507 --> 01:51:03,867 Speaker 19: early on. 2238 01:51:04,267 --> 01:51:07,347 Speaker 2: All right, well we'll get to see tomorrow morning how 2239 01:51:07,427 --> 01:51:10,787 Speaker 2: he goes. What you got telling you it feels like 2240 01:51:11,027 --> 01:51:13,827 Speaker 2: a podium is a real chance. He is a gold 2241 01:51:13,907 --> 01:51:15,387 Speaker 2: medal chance, isn't he? 2242 01:51:17,667 --> 01:51:17,787 Speaker 11: Oh? 2243 01:51:17,867 --> 01:51:23,667 Speaker 19: Absolutely, you know, without sort of being too sort of 2244 01:51:23,787 --> 01:51:26,867 Speaker 19: I guess over confident. When I looked at the high 2245 01:51:26,907 --> 01:51:30,027 Speaker 19: jump this year, and you know, I looked at the 2246 01:51:30,147 --> 01:51:33,547 Speaker 19: depth across the fields, even some of the well decorated 2247 01:51:33,627 --> 01:51:36,187 Speaker 19: high jumpers, Steph on Holm from Sweden who won in 2248 01:51:36,227 --> 01:51:40,427 Speaker 19: two thousand and four, he was commenting that the depth 2249 01:51:40,867 --> 01:51:45,547 Speaker 19: and both womans ending high jump was not as I guess, 2250 01:51:46,067 --> 01:51:49,707 Speaker 19: stacked as it has been in previous times. But Hamish 2251 01:51:49,827 --> 01:51:52,147 Speaker 19: is right up there in terms of performances anyway, with 2252 01:51:52,267 --> 01:51:56,227 Speaker 19: all of the recent medals. Back in the day, he's 2253 01:51:56,267 --> 01:51:59,267 Speaker 19: absolutely a good gold medal chance. I jumped against Charles 2254 01:51:59,347 --> 01:52:01,347 Speaker 19: often back in the day and he's still got the 2255 01:52:01,667 --> 01:52:04,347 Speaker 19: Olympic record from ninety six. I'd love to think Hamis 2256 01:52:04,427 --> 01:52:06,987 Speaker 19: could have a crack of that at least. But now 2257 01:52:07,067 --> 01:52:09,027 Speaker 19: he's he's a he's a great chance that The two 2258 01:52:09,107 --> 01:52:12,667 Speaker 19: people that I thought were good chances of leading into 2259 01:52:12,707 --> 01:52:15,667 Speaker 19: this was was Maddy where she who always performs in 2260 01:52:15,747 --> 01:52:18,627 Speaker 19: big meets, and she did. She did the damage this 2261 01:52:18,787 --> 01:52:22,227 Speaker 19: morning and and she got well, she had the best 2262 01:52:22,707 --> 01:52:26,547 Speaker 19: overall performances in all six throws, but she came out 2263 01:52:26,547 --> 01:52:29,147 Speaker 19: with silver, which is fantastic, and Hamish. 2264 01:52:28,867 --> 01:52:29,347 Speaker 11: Was the other one. 2265 01:52:29,547 --> 01:52:32,427 Speaker 19: Those were the two that I was really confident. And 2266 01:52:32,707 --> 01:52:34,347 Speaker 19: you know the rest of them, along of them had 2267 01:52:34,427 --> 01:52:38,947 Speaker 19: some tough, some tough, tough performances over the last sort 2268 01:52:38,947 --> 01:52:41,667 Speaker 19: of nine days. But now Hamish is a great chance. 2269 01:52:41,907 --> 01:52:45,187 Speaker 19: And you know, I lo nothing better than you know, 2270 01:52:45,547 --> 01:52:47,907 Speaker 19: the high jumping the number one sport for the country 2271 01:52:48,187 --> 01:52:51,387 Speaker 19: out of the Olympics.

He is the number one 2285 01:53:27,987 --> 01:53:30,787 Speaker 2: ranked high jumper in the world right now as far 2286 01:53:30,867 --> 01:53:33,067 Speaker 2: as PB is concerned. There are a couple in the 2287 01:53:33,147 --> 01:53:37,907 Speaker 2: field with a higher personal best than Hamish Kurr, including 2288 01:53:37,987 --> 01:53:41,307 Speaker 2: the joint gold medalists from three years ago, Mutar's s 2289 01:53:41,387 --> 01:53:45,387 Speaker 2: A Barshem of Kata and John Marco Tamberi of Italy. 2290 01:53:45,947 --> 01:53:49,547 Speaker 2: But often in a competition like this, personal best isn't 2291 01:53:50,067 --> 01:53:53,747 Speaker 2: necessarily all important.

How did you feel when you saw that? 2346 01:56:33,587 --> 01:56:37,387 Speaker 23: There was a very slight sense relief, of course, and 2347 01:56:37,427 --> 01:56:40,347 Speaker 23: then we're been going for the argis for silver, but 2348 01:56:40,467 --> 01:56:42,027 Speaker 23: in Marseille that we've had a lot of races of 2349 01:56:42,107 --> 01:56:44,667 Speaker 23: banding this week, so it wasn't like a yes, we've 2350 01:56:44,707 --> 01:56:47,067 Speaker 23: done at moment, it was let's just get this race 2351 01:56:47,107 --> 01:56:50,507 Speaker 23: finished and cross the line.

Before the race when really, as I 2361 01:57:14,507 --> 01:57:17,107 Speaker 2: say it was, it was really a shootout in many 2362 01:57:17,147 --> 01:57:19,947 Speaker 2: ways with Great Britain for the bronze. Was that your 2363 01:57:19,987 --> 01:57:23,147 Speaker 2: strategy going in before they got the violation that you 2364 01:57:23,227 --> 01:57:25,627 Speaker 2: were just trying to get there ahead of them, and 2365 01:57:25,907 --> 01:57:26,947 Speaker 2: how would you plan to do that? 2366 01:57:27,587 --> 01:57:28,987 Speaker 23: We near the britto, I am going to be super 2367 01:57:29,027 --> 01:57:31,267 Speaker 23: throwing in those conditions, so we give us a little 2368 01:57:31,307 --> 01:57:34,747 Speaker 23: bit separation and started further down the line. That was 2369 01:57:34,827 --> 01:57:36,347 Speaker 23: kind of the plans to just kind of stick to 2370 01:57:36,387 --> 01:57:38,227 Speaker 23: our own thing and try and for your race. 2371 01:57:38,387 --> 01:57:42,627 Speaker 9: And then once they got there, once they got the picked, that. 2372 01:57:42,787 --> 01:57:42,987 Speaker 11: Was it. 2373 01:57:44,667 --> 01:57:47,147 Speaker 2: The regatta as a whole. Erica, how do you think 2374 01:57:47,187 --> 01:57:49,707 Speaker 2: you sailed across the twelve races heading into the metal race. 2375 01:57:50,987 --> 01:57:55,227 Speaker 6: I think it's the best thing.
