00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 4: You're on your way to the closing ceremony right now,

7
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 4: is that right?

8
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 2: Yes, yep, yep, doing a little multitaska.

9
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: Who's surrounded you at the moment? Who's beside you?

10
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 2: How we got we got David Liddy? Oh yeah, we've

11
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 2: got a couple of couple of pole volters. Yeah, we've

12
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 2: got a few support stars, mostly athletics team and yeah,

13
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 2: obviously Finn and a couple of sailors as well at

14
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 2: the top.

15
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 3: So, so, has everyone been here the whole time or

16
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:42,639
Speaker 3: people have come and gone or.

17
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: I think they're kind of coming gone, Like obviously Team

18
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 2: Sports have kind of left now, I think, and then

19
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: we actually came in quite late, just as Athletics is

20
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: in the second week. But yeah, I think I think

21
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 2: the swarmers have kind of stayed on. Looks like they've

22
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 2: been having a good time. But yeah, I think I

23
00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: think for the most part everyone sort of stayed.

24
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 3: Around classic swimmers, classic swimmers always wanting a good times.

25
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: It has it sunk again.

26
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 4: I mean, a gold medal on the world's biggest stage

27
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 4: at the Olympics in the high jump.

28
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: Has it sunk in for you?

29
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, it hasn't. I mean, look, I mean

30
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: I'm obviously amazingly stoked with two did and I'm over

31
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: the moon with my result last night. But I think

32
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: it's going to take a few few weeks to process

33
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: what actually truly happened. But yeah, all I know is

34
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 2: that I was just so stoked to be there and

35
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 2: it was just so much fun being out.

36
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 4: There in the moment it was it And you know,

37
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 4: you guys, you could have you could have shared gold.

38
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 4: You're in the USA competed it, but you guys decided

39
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 4: to go for a jump off that seemed like a

40
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 4: bit of a risk at the time.

41
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: It's still I guess you're back in it now.

42
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, definitely paid off, I think, know, to

43
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: be fair, like, obviously the boys shared the gold in Tokyo, uh,

44
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: and that was something that was so amazing, and you know,

45
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: it was such an amazing part of Olympic castory. But

46
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: I think at the same time, you know, as as

47
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: we're competitors and as we all want to win. I

48
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: think that you know, all the all the athletes decided

49
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 2: that it would be cool if we did get the

50
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: opportunity to to actually see what would happen and play

51
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: out the jump off. So yeah, I had no doubt

52
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: in my mind when when I knew that was gonna happen,

53
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: that we both agree to it and get on with it.

54
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 3: When when you have the conversation, you're like, is it

55
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 3: a jump off? He's like, you had to jump off

56
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 3: to jump off, it's agreed to jump off.

57
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: That sounds pretty cool. That's better.

58
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: Definitely, we definitely could have drawn out the suspense a

59
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: wee bit more. It was pretty much more like me

60
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: just looking at him, going let's jump.

61
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: Let's cats jump. It's a good care trace. There was

62
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: one there was one moment and you kind of went viral.

63
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 4: There was there was one moment that you sort of

64
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 4: came up and you sort of you sort of jumped

65
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 4: straight onto the mat under the bar, and you kind

66
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 4: of went viral as well. People were saying online it

67
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 4: was like you were playing like PlayStation and the controller

68
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 4: died or something like that. What actually happened there was

69
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 4: it just you just didn't feel it. And then you

70
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 4: decided to bow out.

71
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, look, I think I was just pushing a

72
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 2: little bit hard in the first a couple of steps

73
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 2: of my run up, So you usually can kind of

74
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 2: tell mid curve whether you're in a good position or not,

75
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 2: and every so often those kinds of jumps come out.

76
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, it is quite funny to see the memes

77
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 2: going around with the old the old failed jump. I'm

78
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 2: not sure a lot of the people commenting on them

79
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: as well realize that I actually got the one. So

80
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 2: it would be nice if we could try and sort

81
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: of push that as well.

82
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: You want us to sway the comments section, do you?

83
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: But not only did his controller die, but it actually

84
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: turned it back on and yeah.

85
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,399
Speaker 3: Exactly, Well, at least you're not a breakdancer for Australia.

86
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: I mean, like.

87
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 3: Hamish cool with us this morning, what is it like?

88
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 3: I mean, you have been training probably longer than four

89
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 3: years for this, But let's just take this four year

90
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 3: period leading into the Olympics and then you finally stand

91
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 3: on that podium the national anthems playing, talk us through

92
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 3: that moment.

93
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you know, it's just it's just confirmation

94
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: that all the sacrifice and hard work starting pay off.

95
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: I think that that's what's what's so cool is you know,

96
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: I've worked so hard for this. I've you know, I've

97
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: I've put some some pretty hard conversations with some some

98
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 2: you know, loved ones. You know, I've had to do that.

99
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: I've had to change around my coaching team. I've had

100
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 2: to you know, change some technical stuff and really look

101
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: at myself and be honest with that's what my what

102
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 2: I am capable of doing. And so I think that

103
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 2: you know, to to know that I've done all that

104
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 2: hard stuff and then you know, get such an amazing

105
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 2: result from it. It's just it's just during come true.

106
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 3: Well, because you're my wife went to a breakfast that

107
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 3: you spoke at and and you did say that you

108
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 3: had to change the team around you, like your your

109
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 3: dietitian and your coach.

110
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 4: You even setting up formal meetings. I think, you know, see,

111
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 4: everyone was held accountable.

112
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: It was like take someone's saying in the minutes and

113
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: things like that.

114
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, look, I mean I think that's just you know,

115
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 2: it's just increased professionalism. And I think that's the thing

116
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 2: is I I love the sport and I definitely see

117
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: it as something that I love and have a lot

118
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 2: of fun doing, but it's also it's also a job,

119
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 2: and it's also something that I want to make sure

120
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: I'm doing the best at. So I think that in

121
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: the last couple of years, I've really had to look

122
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 2: at myself and and how I've sort of worked and

123
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: probably been a little bit casual at times. And so

124
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: it was just around about just just being really really

125
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: conscious on being as professional as possible and getting the

126
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: right result from that.

127
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: Is anyone going to lose their job now you've got

128
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: the gold? Oh Dietes, mate, you've been dragging the chain?

129
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: Anyone like that.

130
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, we haven't had that conversation yet. That's more of

131
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 2: a post Deech thing. But now don't tell anyone. I

132
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 2: think they're probably pretty safe. They want to do it again,

133
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 2: it's probably more up to the end, to be honest.

134
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: Loop us in on the minutes and it was incredible.

135
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, so many great moments, but I managed a big

136
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 4: part of the Olympics have been incredible. I mean there

137
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 4: was that moment where the freach pole Volda has sort

138
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 4: of bits and pieces hit the pole and knocked it off.

139
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 4: Were ever worried about that could be an option for

140
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 4: you and the high jump that your your you're junk

141
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 4: could actually knock off the bar.

142
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, we go over backwards. So not really an interest

143
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 2: for me, unless unless I've got it. You know, I'm

144
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 2: doing really really well for myself.

145
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: We ever tail or something.

146
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 3: In the closing ceremony, which you're you're just walking into. Now,

147
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 3: what are we looking forward to? We had that that

148
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,799
Speaker 3: unusual gentleman painted like an Avatar character with his goolies

149
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 3: out in the opening ceremony.

150
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: What can we expect?

151
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean hopefully not too much more religious slander,

152
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 2: but we will see. I think, yeah, I think. I

153
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 2: think the big rumor around us as who's going to

154
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 2: be performing. It seems like it's potentially Snoop Dogg he

155
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 2: is in town. But but yeah, also maybe Taylor Swift.

156
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: There's there's just so many people saying so many different things.

157
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 2: So wow, go out there and actually see who's out there.

158
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:31,320
