1
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: Tuesday, August sixth, and TUSA had a huge day at

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: the Paris Olympics on Monday.

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 2: The WUIs athletes have now won seventy eight Olympic medals,

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 2: twenty of them goal China now at fifty three total medals.

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 2: In France, the home team still in the third place

6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 2: with forty eight.

7
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: Welcome everyone to Amy and TJ. Folks. That might have

8
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: been the last time that we will ever see Simone

9
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 1: Biles compete in an Olympics, and she was at the

10
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: center of a wild final day of gymnastics competition. This

11
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: all happening in Paris.

12
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 3: Of course, I guess you could call it the unbalanced beam.

13
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 3: Why did so many athletes, including Simone and Sunni fall

14
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 3: in the finals? Uncharacteristic of both of them was the

15
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 3: audience shushing too much, And then the floor exercise became

16
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,959
Speaker 3: a head scratcher and a heartbreaker for at least one

17
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 3: athlete who thought she had secured the bronze.

18
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,319
Speaker 2: Plus two athletes who swam in the river Senne as

19
00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: part of the triathlon have now withdrawn from the Games illness. Also,

20
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 2: pushing and shoving during the women's five thousand meter race

21
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: led to a runner being disqualified and being stripped of

22
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: a silver metal, but they gave it back to her

23
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 2: two hours later.

24
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 4: We'll explain.

25
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of flip flopping there. Yesterday, Welcome to

26
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: another Tea from Pere edition of our podcast. And it's

27
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: already been a busy morning. We've watched how many events already.

28
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: Well, the sport climbing three meters springboard, men's diving, and

29
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 2: then we moved over to sport climbing. They were doing

30
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: Boulder this morning. And where is she from Slovo, Slovakia,

31
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 2: Jakia and was a young sorry Slovenia.

32
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: She was amazing watching her just just attack the wall.

33
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: Everybody else struggling, swinging, falling. She was like boo boo, boo,

34
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: boo boo, and she went straight up. And now we

35
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: moved on to women's park skateboarding, which is so cool.

36
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: It just started and I don't know who and this

37
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: is I think we might we mentioned this yesterday. We

38
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: might give a gold, a silver and a bronze to

39
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: broadcasters at the end of this because there are some

40
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: commentators who clearly we're watching skateboarding.

41
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: Now.

42
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: Whoever is doing the commentary has skated before, but explaining

43
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: things in the best of ways to folks like us

44
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 2: who just see people going up and down on a skateboard,

45
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: but she's explaining the technical side of it, and it's

46
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: you find yourself getting educated and some are so good

47
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: at that, and whoever this is, she's one of them.

48
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you were asking questions and then ten seconds later

49
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: she answered all of them, because you know, you're like, wait,

50
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: what just happened? What does that mean? What happens next?

51
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 1: And so when you have the really good commentators who

52
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: know their stuff but also know how to explain it

53
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: to us who don't understand the technical it's fantastic to happen.

54
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 2: Some of them are great. So it really hats off

55
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 2: to a lot of them who are.

56
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 4: Doing really, really, really great work over there.

57
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: But yes, we're watching women's Park Now skateboarding, and we

58
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: know a little about this because we talked to some

59
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 2: of the US skateboarders who are going to be doing

60
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 2: park later.

61
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 4: But it's like, look at that. These are children.

62
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 2: We're literally looking at teenagers as Olympians competing in skateboard,

63
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: but they've all.

64
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: Been skateboarding since they were four or five, you know,

65
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: And this is the women's happened today and then the

66
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: men's are our three Americans who we spoke to. We

67
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: are so excited to root them on. They compete tomorrow,

68
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: so we're looking forward to that as well. But man,

69
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: what a day it was in the gym, in the

70
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: arena for gymnastics was I couldn't believe how dramatic it

71
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: all became yesterday the balance beam finals. It was hard

72
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: to watch. You already have a hard time watching the

73
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: balance beam, but how was it for you yesterday?

74
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 4: I hate the balance beam.

75
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: I just I hate watching the balance me and so

76
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: much of what we watch in the Olympics. Maybe other

77
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: people and maybe you and others feel this way. It

78
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: doesn't matter if it's what country it is. I want

79
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 2: to see everybody do well. Yes, I want Siman and

80
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 2: soon need to win. But anytime are there competitor falls,

81
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 2: your heartbreaks. I don't want to see them do badly.

82
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: And so the balance being certainly gymnastic, but the beam sucks.

83
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: And yesterday it sucks. It was it was really difficult.

84
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: Half of the eight competitors fell off the beam. These

85
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: are the best of the best. These are the top

86
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: eight competitors from everyone who came as top olympians from

87
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: their countries, and four of the eight fell.

88
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 4: That's wait in show.

89
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: I would you know, I'm trying to look it up

90
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 2: while we were telling the story of what the fall

91
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 2: percentage is on the beam in high in competitions. Because these,

92
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 2: like you said, these are the eight you could essentially

93
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 2: say the eight best women in the world on this

94
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 2: apparatus competa.

95
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: Yesterday, absolutely and it still took down half of them.

96
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: And you know what, I've always said this too, and

97
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: I think anyone who's competed knows. You get a momentum

98
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: going either way. And also there's a contagion that can

99
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: happen when someone else starts falling. It just gets in

100
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: your head. So both Sony Lee and Simone fell. Simone

101
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: ended up finishing fifth, Soony ended up finishing sixth. It

102
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: was shocking. It was a game changer. But we were

103
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: very excited to see italy as Alistamada taking the gold

104
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: because we've been rooting her on. She has this beautiful

105
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: ballerina like elegance to her every time she competes, and

106
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: so it was fun to see her take the gold

107
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: on that. But then it was interesting to hear what

108
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: Simone and soon he said about the competition. They said

109
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: that the crowd affected their routines. The audience was shushing

110
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: other gymnasts who were cheering on their fellow athletes during

111
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: the balance beam final, and some of the gymnasts and

112
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: coaches all said there was kind of an awkward atmosphere

113
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: during the beam in the gymnasium on Monday, and I

114
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: think they were well meaning audience members, but they were

115
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: trying to silence the athletes, but it didn't have and

116
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: other spectators, but it didn't have the intended effect because

117
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: Simone actually looked bewildered after her beam performance and she

118
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: could be heard asking Sunny, why are they shushing? And

119
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: then Simone actually told reporters it was really weird and awkward,

120
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: not our favorite. None of us liked it. And I've

121
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: said this to you my small amount of competing in gymnastics.

122
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: When it's quiet, it's the worst because you know everyone's

123
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,799
Speaker 1: looking at you. I prefer to have the floor exercise

124
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: music on and other athletes competing because in your mind

125
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: you can kind of just focus and think, oh, they're

126
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: not all looking at me. And some of the gymnasts

127
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: said it actually the noise emulates practice allows them to

128
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: focus and they don't have to be so worried. That

129
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: makes sense to me.

130
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 2: It doesn't make sense to me because I am from

131
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: not from that world. So we're watching. When we were

132
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 2: watching the all around and things go, the competition, the

133
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 2: team competition, everybody's so if you're on your balance beam,

134
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 2: somebody's over there performing on the uneven bar, somebody's over

135
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 2: there on floor exercise, somebody's over there on the other prece.

136
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 4: So all that noise is going on.

137
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: And so I was watching, and I often say when

138
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 2: watching the balance beam, like damn, why did that not

139
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 2: throw her off? She doesn't know if those people are

140
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: gasping because of her, or cheering because of her or

141
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 2: somebody else. That noise is what I thought was a distraction,

142
00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 2: But there is to it.

143
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 4: Gymnasts welcome.

144
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're used to it. It's kind of like when

145
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: you're used to there always being just some sort of

146
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: a like a white noise ish kind of thing going on.

147
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: You tune it out, but you almost kind of embrace

148
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: it because it makes you feel like, you know, you

149
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: can just focus on your thing.

150
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: World class they know, and they know better. They weren't

151
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 2: making excuses. They were talking about you need to make

152
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 2: clear there they weren't making excuses, but it was a

153
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: real thing.

154
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: And they were being asked, why did everybody fall off

155
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: the beam? And that was just something that came to

156
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: them and it makes sense to me. Okay, this didn't

157
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: make sense to me at all what happened on the

158
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: floor exercise. By the way, Simone won silver in floor

159
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: exercise and that brings her total up to this Olympics

160
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: to four medals. She had three golds and one silver,

161
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: but this was the first time she has not one

162
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: gold on floor ever. And we saw Brazil's Rebecca Androge,

163
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: who we've loved watching. She won gold, but there was

164
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: a confusing inquiry because Romania thought they had won bronze.

165
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: They had the flag up, they were celebrating, but Teamy

166
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: ussays Jordan Childs ultimately one bronze. She moved up from

167
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: fifth to third after her coaches put in an inquiry

168
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: about a specific move the jet. Her coaches actually said

169
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: they didn't think anything would come of it, and so

170
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: her coach actually described having her back turned and she

171
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: heard Jordan's scream when she saw her score shoot up

172
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: by a tenth of a point, which is all it

173
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: took for her to go up into third, and I

174
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: just had to feel so bad for that poor Romanian

175
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: gymnast who thought she had won. There was confusion for

176
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: a while, but in the end Simone and Jordan were

177
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: on the podium second and third.

178
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 2: That was another Olympic moment and it was an awful one.

179
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 2: Now this is not from the perspective of Jordan Childs

180
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 2: and these are the rules and you can do it.

181
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 2: But Romania has not had a metal in gymnastics in

182
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 2: the Olympics for twenty years now, twenty plus years, and

183
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 2: the young lady won a medal, a bronze for her country.

184
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 2: So they have the flag out of folks, you've seen this.

185
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: They drape themselves in the flag. They've thrown it up

186
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 2: in pride in front of the whole audience, and that

187
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 2: whole the whole country's celebration.

188
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: Stopped was celebrating.

189
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 2: It sucked to see that, just that that has to happen.

190
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 2: That's just it was an awful, awful moment for them.

191
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 2: But it's within the rules. The inquiry is just simply

192
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 2: you asking them to go back and review the scores,

193
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 2: period And sure enough, they talk about this all the time,

194
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 2: being a game of inches or just a little hop

195
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 2: or tenth of a point or thousands of a point,

196
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 2: not just it suck. Your heartbreaks Romania.

197
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, the best explanation I got was that she

198
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: didn't get full credit for something she had actually done.

199
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: And so if the inquiry leads to a more fair

200
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: score than obviously, that's what we want every correct That's

201
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: what every athlete would want, even the person who ended

202
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 1: up not getting the bronze, you wouldn't want to win,

203
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: you know, because there was poor judging. You want to

204
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: win fair and square, and so hopefully that is exactly

205
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: what happened. And look to see the Romanian gymnast and

206
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: just everyone in that audience, just their faces fall and

207
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: just the crushing where you thought you meddled and then

208
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: you didn't. But then to also see Jordan's excitement, I mean,

209
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: she was just beyond excited. And that was as sweet.

210
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: It was like just so bittersweet because you were excited

211
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: for Jordan, but your heart sank for Romania.

212
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's not our athlete, Romanian that but you do.

213
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: You're pulling for all of them. But that was a

214
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 2: special moment for the country that was yanked and they

215
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 2: have to wait another possible four years.

216
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: And now yes, and now you know the next questions

217
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: will be for some moments. She's already been asked, are

218
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: you coming back LA twenty twenty eight. She has not. Obviously,

219
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: she hasn't ruled it out, but she did say this,

220
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: I've accomplished way more than my wildest dreams, not just

221
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: at these Olympics, but in monastics, walking away with four medals.

222
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 1: I'm not mad about it. I'm pretty proud of myself.

223
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 2: She should be, And you know, I learned something about

224
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 2: her in the past couple of days. We know how

225
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 2: grave of an athlete as she is, and she's the goat.

226
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 2: We know these things. You know what, It was really

227
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 2: cool to see her be a fan, to see her sportsmanship,

228
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 2: and to see her be such a supporter of her

229
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 2: teammates was really cool.

230
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: You're talking too much the medal stand.

231
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 2: No, well, that's part of it, but just in the

232
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 2: team competitions and in the individual competitions, even seeing her

233
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 2: in the crowd the other day being supportive of her team.

234
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 2: She is a member of a team. We know she's great,

235
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 2: but to see her perform and behave on the sideline

236
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 2: in that way you're like, oh, okay, she's not just

237
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 2: a great athlete, she's a great teammate, she's a great sportsman.

238
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: It was that part was great, and what they planned

239
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 2: at the podium was one of my favorite moments the Olympic.

240
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: Yeah I missed it. I had to go. I was

241
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: actually going to lunch with my daughter meeting her new

242
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: college roommate and her roommate's mom, and so I have

243
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: to leave, and you were texting me, Oh my gosh,

244
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: you just missed the most amazing podium moment.

245
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 2: It might have been my favorite, one of my It's

246
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 2: in the top five. It's been a lot, but you

247
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: think of it. Simone So Rebecca Androgi of Brazil beat

248
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 2: Simone Biles fair and square on the floor and.

249
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: Simone has never not gotten gold on the floor.

250
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 2: Exit Peter fair and square. And you know who knew

251
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 2: that immediately was Simone Biles. She was called on this island.

252
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 2: She could was overheard saying I think she's got this one.

253
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 4: She knew it.

254
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 2: So the ceremonies, Simones get the silver. She's on the

255
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 2: left side. You got Jordan Childs on the right side,

256
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 2: She's got the bronze. And then in the middle and

257
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 2: then high as part of that podium is Rebecca Androgi.

258
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 2: As soon as they say her name announce her as

259
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 2: the gold medalist. Simone and Jordan, in a coordinated and

260
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 2: clearly planned and practice moment, turned to her and bowed.

261
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: That's awesome.

262
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 4: They turned to her and bowed.

263
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 2: It was just a cute, sweet giving this woman her moment,

264
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 2: who has lost out several times to these two women

265
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 2: in the past, and to acknowledge her greatness and to

266
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 2: see a Simone bowels give somebody that kind of credit.

267
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: You know they've earned it.

268
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 4: Loved it.

269
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: That was awesome. I just so I didn't see it,

270
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: but you just describing it just gave me chills right now.

271
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: Thank you.

272
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 2: Loved it and we can't forget that. Yesterday we talked

273
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 2: about the balance beam, the men's high bar. Oh, yesterday

274
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 2: was it was a train wreck and.

275
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: There was so there were no American athletes, so I

276
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: know there isn't as much coverage here in the United States,

277
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: but we watched it all and that that was the

278
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: women's balance beam, was the men's high bar.

279
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 4: Yesterday it was I don't count.

280
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: I don't know how there wasn't serious injury. When they

281
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: are gaining this unreal momentum swinging around. When they fall off,

282
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: it's hard, and then they have to get back up,

283
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: literally dust themselves off, and then get back up there

284
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: and finish. I don't know how they do it. I've

285
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: said I just walk out. I just I would run out.

286
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 4: Do you remember the falls?

287
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 2: Some of them fell off during the routine, but we

288
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 2: saw at least two, probably three guys on their dismount.

289
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 2: It's one thing to take a hop or a step.

290
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 2: They landed and completely dove forward onto.

291
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: Their faces, landed on their stomachs.

292
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 4: What the hell?

293
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: It kind of like, how how soon he fell on

294
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: the beam? That was tough on her stomach, that's tough.

295
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: But they all got back up, and that actually could

296
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: make me like cry and choke up. They, every single

297
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: one of them, from the beam to the high bar,

298
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: got back up and finished their routines, oh, knowing that

299
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: they had zero shot of a metal, knowing that their

300
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: score actually didn't matter, And they did it anyway. And

301
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: I loved watching the crowd.

302
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 4: As soon as those guys fall, they start clapping and cheering.

303
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: But they were competing as well in silence, right, yes, yesterday,

304
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: So Nobody talked about that as being an issue with that.

305
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, but that could have had an impact. I

306
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: mean I get tears in my eye just seeing the

307
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: resilience and the pride and just oh the hard work

308
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: that went into that moment. Oh and the devastation.

309
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 4: But you talk about that science.

310
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 2: This is the place has a capacity of twenty thousand,

311
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 2: so we're not used to in at twenty thousand seat

312
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 2: stadium that it's loud because of NBA team is playing

313
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 2: in that type of capacity. Think of twenty thousand being

314
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 2: quiet just watching you.

315
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 4: That's what's real pressure. That's entirely too much. So but

316
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 4: congress to them. But the gymnastics is done.

317
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh it was so awesome. I actually think this

318
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: was one of my favorite years. It was just so

319
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: incredible to watch and filled with so much drama.

320
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 2: But ugh, kid from Colombia, we gotta mention that's the

321
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 2: first ever medal in gymnastics for.

322
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: College seventeen years old. He was a megastar on that

323
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: high bar and he we will not that will not

324
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: be the last we see of him.

325
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 4: The guy you love from uh the got a medal

326
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 4: from Ukraine.

327
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: Yah, gotta medal as well. He was literally two heads

328
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: taller than his UH compadres who were on the metal

329
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: stand with But it was fun to watch and so

330
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: happy he got a medal as well.

331
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 2: All right, we want you want to turn now to

332
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 2: the to our EC updates. Yes, so we got now

333
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 2: two Olympic athletes who have dropped out of competition because

334
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 2: of illness. But these two are of particular note because

335
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 2: they had both previously competed in the triathlon, which means

336
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 2: they had to swim in the river Sin. So Belgium

337
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 2: they decided they are not going to compete in the

338
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 2: mixed relay after Claire Michelle, bless you, robok is sick

339
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 2: as well, Get that out of me.

340
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 4: But the Belgium.

341
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 2: Belgium decided they were not going to compete in the

342
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 2: mixed relay because one of their athletes, Claire Michelle, got sick.

343
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 2: They did not specify what the illness was, but Claire

344
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 2: Michelle had done the triathlon days prior and had to

345
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 2: swim in the sin And so when an athlete who's

346
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 2: been in that water ends up being sick, people do

347
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 2: robes obviously take note of. And then there you got

348
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 2: Adrian Brifford of Switzerland.

349
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 4: He had an issue as well.

350
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, he dropped off his country's mixed relay team because

351
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: of what they are calling a gastro intestinal infection. In

352
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: a statement, this was that it was impossible to know

353
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: if it was related to the water in the Sine.

354
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 1: Of course, they probably don't want to upset the home

355
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: country as well by throwing shade at the Seine, and

356
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: maybe there is no way to tell. But you know what,

357
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: my dad was always this is so funny. My dad,

358
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: the microbiologist who was giving us some scientific information about

359
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: the sin and what ecoli does to your body and

360
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: whether or not you can inoculate yourself from it, which

361
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: you cannot. But he would always tell me, whatever the

362
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: incubation period is, you can kind of go back and

363
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: figure out what it was. So this would be how

364
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 1: many days since they swam in the river sind from

365
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: when they got sick, Exuesday, they swam on Sunday, Sunday,

366
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: and then forty eight hours, my dad would be able

367
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: to tell you, like that's exactly when they got it,

368
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: Like he knows what the incubation period is. We should

369
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: have called him. It's too early, but we can probably

370
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 1: give you that update. But that actually is the way

371
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: you can go back and trace to see where you

372
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 1: got infected. So if it's a forty eight hour thing,

373
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: it's probably undeniably the sen. I mean, look, my dad

374
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: has told me in certain countries this is the truth.

375
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: Where I'm traveling to for work. Often when I'm in

376
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: the shower, to close my mouth and close my eyes,

377
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: and to actually shower with your back to the shower head,

378
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: because you don't want to ingest any of that water,

379
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: not even a little bit. So imagine, as so many

380
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: swimmers say they do when they're swimming. Just you. You

381
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: you actually drink in a lot of the water uncontrollably.

382
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: So it would make sense marathon swimming in the sen

383
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: Thursday and Friday. How about that for a We can't wait, mom,

384
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: I think it's I believe it's like a ten k basically, right,

385
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, six point something miles in this sin because

386
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: they only swim, I say, only.

387
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 4: But what if?

388
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this will be a lot more water ingested yea,

389
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: yea to those swimmers cowing.

390
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 2: Up later, Look, they want to compete. I don't know

391
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 2: if they're we're talking about it. I don't know how

392
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 2: much they're talking about it.

393
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: It's It's funny. I've seen different some of the swimmers

394
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: coming out saying it's the most beautiful venue ever, it's

395
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: the most beautiful place I've ever swum, and then other

396
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: people saying it's disgusting. There was debris underneath me. I

397
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: don't want to know what it was. So it depends

398
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: on the swimmer.

399
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 4: You act debris underneath me.

400
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 2: You never want to swim in anything and you have

401
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 2: to say there's debris underneath it.

402
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: It was actually one of the Belgian swimmers who said,

403
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to know. I just swam through. That's

404
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: probably better.

405
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 2: Because we know, let's get out of the water and

406
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 2: let's go to the track. And track is generally it's

407
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 2: not supposed to be a contact sport, but there was

408
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,719
Speaker 2: some pushing and shoving during the women's five thousand meter final,

409
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 2: so much so that these second place finisher was disqualified

410
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 2: after the race. But the story did not end there.

411
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 2: We're talking about Faith Kipyegon of Kenya, the current world champion,

412
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 2: was in the lead on the inside lane two laps

413
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 2: to go. Okay Gudaf Sagui of Ethiopia then made a

414
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 2: move and rope she was trying to get the lead. Okay,

415
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 2: they always want to be on that inside lane. So

416
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 2: the guy was trying to move in on the space

417
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 2: Kipiegon was occupying at the time. So Kipiegon just gave it.

418
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 2: It was kind of a yo, get off of me

419
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 2: kind of a thing. You just got some full pushes,

420
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 2: some just kind of a almost looked like they were

421
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 2: playing hands eas you know, they were just kind of

422
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 2: doing that thing. Well, a lot of folks roads looked

423
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 2: at that, including the officials, and said that's too much.

424
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 2: And afterwards, sure enough, she ended up in second, but

425
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 2: quickly disqualified for what the officials called obstructing another runner. Again,

426
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: she finished second, that's a silver medal, but immediately was

427
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 2: told disqualified for her obstruction.

428
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 4: So that's the end of the story.

429
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 1: Yes, no, because she appealed the disqualification and that disqualification

430
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: was overturned. But it took what two hours for them

431
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: to make that call. So in the meantime they had

432
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: given first, second, third place to the second and third

433
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: to other runners.

434
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 2: And the third place runner from Italy ended up with

435
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 2: a bronze. Ended up in fourth in the race, but

436
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 2: with the disqualification, moved up to third. The disqualification was

437
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 2: then nullified, which means.

438
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: The fourth that you say is the worst place to

439
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: finish any race, Okay, I'll correct myself.

440
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 2: You know what's even worse than finishing fourth is thinking

441
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 2: you won third and then they push you back the fourth, right,

442
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 2: This sucks for her, which is exactly.

443
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: What happened in gymnastics too. It's so interesting.

444
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 4: It sucks.

445
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 2: You win a medal and then there's a review and

446
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 2: the medal is taken away, not because of something you did,

447
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 2: something that's completely out of your control.

448
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 4: So this whole story, my heart actually goes.

449
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 2: Out to the Italian runner who was in fourth gets

450
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 2: a bronze or thinks she does, and then it's later

451
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 2: taken away hours later. But a lot of folks who

452
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 2: reviewed this and looked at it, and folks who are

453
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 2: experts in this, thought the disqualification was too much.

454
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 4: It was a little.

455
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: Even the NBC commentator actually said that she believed that

456
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 1: Siguy was the one who should actually have been If

457
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: there was ever anyone in those two who should be

458
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: disqualified or have some sort of issue, it should have

459
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: been her, because you know, she's the one who was

460
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: trying to get in the other runner's lane, and so

461
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: she was inserting herself in a way that she shouldn't have.

462
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 4: So she was in the capego, was in the lead.

463
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 2: So it's not like she didn't have anybody to push, right,

464
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 2: So it's not she was just doing her thing.

465
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 4: So the other girl tried to come in and get

466
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 4: into her space.

467
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: She was a solid. I mean, she was in second place.

468
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 1: She's that was a silver medal win. There was no

469
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: photo finish. I mean, she absolutely was clearly in second place.

470
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: Funny enough, the woman who went from silver to bronze,

471
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: so she ended up getting third place. She said she

472
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: absolutely expected that to happen. And she said, you know,

473
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: I want to make sure I say her name right.

474
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 4: Look, they know their sport, Hassan, right.

475
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: She said that. She said that she knew she deserved

476
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: the silver, and so she had no problem taking the bronze.

477
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 2: And look those two and I saw the top two

478
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 2: finishers here ended up being teammates from Kenya. And look,

479
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,719
Speaker 2: these women race all year long against each other. They

480
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 2: know each other well, but in a lot of them train,

481
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 2: they know this sport. So if they don't have an issue,

482
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 2: I don't have an issue.

483
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: Exactly. I think that's a good way to look at it. Well,

484
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: we are watching a lot of events today. Fifteen gold

485
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 1: medal events are up for grabs, a lot of them

486
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: in high profile metal events. In track and field. This

487
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: has been fun to watch. Team USA's two time Olympic

488
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: medalist Gabby Thomas is going to go for her first

489
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: gold medal in the women's two hundred meter and I

490
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: am so excited about this one. On the men's side,

491
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: a possible show down. This will be among raining Olympic champ,

492
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: Norway's Jacob Ingebritson, Great Britain's reigning world champ Josh Kerr,

493
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: and then the twenty twenty four US champ Cole Hawker.

494
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: Experts are expecting this is what they're saying, one of

495
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 1: the most vicious and hardest fifteen hundreds the sport has

496
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: seen in a very long time.

497
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 4: This is a fun, fun race.

498
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 2: That's it because it's you know, it's a fast race,

499
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,719
Speaker 2: but it's still several laps they have to do. But

500
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 2: to see that group stay together, the strategies and that

501
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 2: whoever has that sprint kick at the end. I appreciate

502
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 2: this race, oh almost more than anything in track and field.

503
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: I get so nervous when they all obviously go to

504
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 1: the inside lane and fight for position, I mean, which

505
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,479
Speaker 1: is what we saw happening in the women's But I

506
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: just don't even know how, like, oh, it's crazy to

507
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: watch nolal lyles in the even in the one hundred

508
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: go from last to first, is crazy how they position

509
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: themselves all right, basketball men's basketball, Lebron Kevin Durant, Steph

510
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: Kerr along with Team USA. They are facing Brazil and

511
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: a trip to the semifinals is on the line, so

512
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: they need to win this one that happens at three

513
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 1: Eastern time. And then, oh, I'm so this is probably

514
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: the thing I'm most excited about today. As we promised earlier,

515
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 1: we will not forget the US women's soccer team. They

516
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 1: are taking on Germany. That happens at noon Eastern time,

517
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: and that is what we are planning our day around.

518
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 2: I don't know who else is to I don't know

519
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 2: how other people are watching. I know the ratings will

520
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 2: now I have been off the charts. I don't understand

521
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 2: the ratings anymore because it's not just TV, it's not

522
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 2: just broadcast, it's not just NBC. They count USA, they

523
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 2: count streaming this, so I don't get it, but clearly.

524
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 4: These have really really been going well. But are people

525
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 4: watching live or are they most people watching?

526
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: I It depends if what your job is, and maybe

527
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: even people. The nice thing is because you can put

528
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: up on your computer. If you're in your cubicle, you

529
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: can have it up and watching. So it's just nice

530
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: to have the option to be able to watch it

531
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: streaming somewhere. You could even watch it on your phone.

532
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 4: People have peacock, Yeah, a lot of people have.

533
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: We get a little bit of a hard time finding

534
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: We had a very hard time finding the soccer matches yesterday.

535
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 2: I was it eighty five degrees and we were running

536
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 2: through the streets of midtown going into twelve places.

537
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 4: You all got peacock to see.

538
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: We finally we finally found it was like our fourth

539
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: or fifth place. We finally found it, but they didn't

540
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: have peacock. They found some Spanish channel that had it

541
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: on poor quality. You were like, let's get out of here,

542
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 1: we're watching. So then we race on the subway to

543
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: try and make it back to my apartment while they're

544
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: going through this is this is just halftime, right?

545
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 4: Uh.

546
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 2: We left the bar a little before halftime so we

547
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 2: could time it to get on a train and get

548
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 2: set up at home in time for the second half.

549
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: Yes, this was uh, this was our day yesterday. Yes,

550
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: it's all about getting in front of a TV. So

551
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: it's been fun. We are excited. We still have a

552
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: few more days left, and of course we will be

553
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 1: watching for you and you can keep listening to us.

554
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: You can get all the t from Perry right here

555
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: every day.

556
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 4: Okay, find that name might stick
