Um, well, uh, I 7 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,480 S1: was thinking, if you are someone who thinks I need 8 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,279 S1: to run a bit faster, what do you do? In 9 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:26,479 S1: order to achieve that. 10 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,800 S2: Honestly, just like training and hard work, like, you know, 11 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,440 S2: it always, always comes with what you do in training. 12 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,520 S2: And that always shows up when you compete. So that's 13 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:39,040 S2: all it is. 14 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,320 S3: So, so gout, gout. I want to go back to school. Um, 15 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,599 S3: at school when you were doing say how sports and 16 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,560 S3: school sports. Did anyone ever beat you? 17 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,879 S2: No. Not really. You could say I was always the 18 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:52,920 S2: first place in those. 19 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,080 S1: Do you train every day? 20 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,360 S2: Six days a week, actually. 21 00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,960 S1: Right. So you have one day completely off. 22 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,640 S2: Yeah. Sunday rest day. That's right. 23 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,280 S3: And what's the most important thing to work on? Gout. Gout? 24 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,880 S3: I mean, it must be quite difficult because you wouldn't 25 00:01:07,940 --> 00:01:10,380 S3: want to get too heavy because that might slow you down. 26 00:01:10,380 --> 00:01:12,220 S3: But having said that, you want to be really strong. 27 00:01:12,819 --> 00:01:16,380 S2: Yeah, 100%. I think definitely a good mix of strength 28 00:01:16,380 --> 00:01:19,060 S2: and speed. But you also got to get those recovery 29 00:01:19,100 --> 00:01:20,459 S2: days weaved in. Of course. 30 00:01:21,580 --> 00:01:24,020 S1: Hey, um, would you have run in the Commonwealth Games 31 00:01:24,020 --> 00:01:26,100 S1: last week if they'd been held in Melbourne? 32 00:01:28,260 --> 00:01:29,060 S2: Last week. 33 00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:32,860 S1: Yeah. If the Commonwealth Games had been held in Melbourne, 34 00:01:32,860 --> 00:01:35,979 S1: not in Glasgow, would you have run in the Commonwealth Games? 35 00:01:36,420 --> 00:01:39,940 S2: Yeah, potentially actually, because it's a home games and you know, 36 00:01:40,180 --> 00:01:43,380 S2: that would be an amazing opportunity to run them over 37 00:01:43,380 --> 00:01:45,259 S2: if the con games was there. 38 00:01:46,140 --> 00:01:48,940 S1: Um are you saying bolt said that before a race 39 00:01:48,940 --> 00:01:53,300 S1: he used to eat chicken nuggets? Well, what do you eat? 40 00:01:53,980 --> 00:01:58,940 S2: Oh, you could say Vegemite a bit over. 41 00:02:00,460 --> 00:02:03,420 S1: Because you say that because, um, we have in here 42 00:02:03,420 --> 00:02:07,540 S1: a jar of Vegemite that is labelled goutgout.

Hey, speaking of Usain, Usain Bolt, he had 46 00:02:16,889 --> 00:02:18,810 S3: a signature move, didn't he? He had the lightning bolt 47 00:02:18,810 --> 00:02:22,610 S3: when he when he won. Are you are you working 48 00:02:22,610 --> 00:02:24,769 S3: on your you know, the goutgout move? 49 00:02:25,290 --> 00:02:29,329 S2: Yeah, I guess so. I mean, he has been iconic, 50 00:02:29,330 --> 00:02:31,370 S2: so I guess I got to make something for myself. 51 00:02:31,770 --> 00:02:35,370 S1: Oh, hey, what are your plans for the 2028 Olympics? 52 00:02:36,610 --> 00:02:38,970 S2: Yeah. Just going to go out with a bang. You 53 00:02:38,970 --> 00:02:42,850 S2: know it's my first Olympics. So definitely a big opportunity 54 00:02:42,850 --> 00:02:47,050 S2: to shine and use use the moment to um bring 55 00:02:47,050 --> 00:02:48,490 S2: forward the Olympics as well. 56 00:02:48,530 --> 00:02:50,649 S1: So what what do you reckon you'll be running? What 57 00:02:50,690 --> 00:02:54,089 S1: event will you be running in the 2028 Olympics? 58 00:02:54,570 --> 00:02:57,010 S2: Definitely 200. Most likely 100 as well. 59 00:02:57,330 --> 00:02:58,370 S1: 102 hundred. 60 00:02:58,450 --> 00:03:01,010 S3: And I think is it fair that we're getting a 61 00:03:01,010 --> 00:03:04,610 S3: bit excited about what our four by 100 meter team 62 00:03:04,610 --> 00:03:06,050 S3: might look like in 28. 63 00:03:06,650 --> 00:03:09,330 S2: Oh of course. Yeah. We have a great bunch of 64 00:03:09,330 --> 00:03:13,170 S2: sprinters rising up, especially in the juniors as well. So 65 00:03:13,169 --> 00:03:15,210 S2: it's definitely going to be a strong team. And I 66 00:03:15,210 --> 00:03:19,489 S2: think Australia will definitely capitalize on that opportunity of even 67 00:03:19,530 --> 00:03:20,970 S2: including in the four by one. 68 00:03:21,590 --> 00:03:25,710 S1: Invariably when you see athletes goutgout, they've got headphones on. 69 00:03:26,150 --> 00:03:28,150 S1: What's your favorite music of the moment? 70 00:03:28,990 --> 00:03:31,470 S2: At the moment? Um, well, I'm a big J. Cole fan, 71 00:03:31,510 --> 00:03:33,750 S2: so he dropped a new album, The Fall Of.

Like you're barely on the floor 79 00:03:54,430 --> 00:03:57,670 S2: and just the momentum brings you forward. I mean, it's 80 00:03:57,670 --> 00:03:59,870 S2: it's a whole different feeling, to be honest. You couldn't 81 00:03:59,870 --> 00:04:04,470 S2: really put it into words, but like you feel like unstoppable, 82 00:04:04,510 --> 00:04:05,150 S2: that's for sure. 83 00:04:05,870 --> 00:04:07,750 S1: Growing up, were you called goutgout? 84 00:04:09,030 --> 00:04:10,790 S2: Oh, just gout honestly. 85 00:04:10,870 --> 00:04:11,590 S1: Just gout. 86 00:04:11,790 --> 00:04:14,030 S2: Yeah.
