WEBVTT - Tea from Paris: Day Eleven

0:00:02.320 --> 0:00:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday, August sixth, and TUSA had a huge day at

0:00:06.040 --> 0:00:07.520
<v Speaker 1>the Paris Olympics on Monday.

0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:11.120
<v Speaker 2>The WUIs athletes have now won seventy eight Olympic medals,

0:00:11.160 --> 0:00:15.000
<v Speaker 2>twenty of them goal China now at fifty three total medals.

0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:16.919
<v Speaker 2>In France, the home team still in the third place

0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:17.520
<v Speaker 2>with forty eight.

0:00:17.680 --> 0:00:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Welcome everyone to Amy and TJ. Folks. That might have

0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:24.080
<v Speaker 1>been the last time that we will ever see Simone

0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:27.479
<v Speaker 1>Biles compete in an Olympics, and she was at the

0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:30.760
<v Speaker 1>center of a wild final day of gymnastics competition. This

0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:32.080
<v Speaker 1>all happening in Paris.

0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:35.640
<v Speaker 3>Of course, I guess you could call it the unbalanced beam.

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:40.160
<v Speaker 3>Why did so many athletes, including Simone and Sunni fall

0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:43.599
<v Speaker 3>in the finals? Uncharacteristic of both of them was the

0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:47.200
<v Speaker 3>audience shushing too much, And then the floor exercise became

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:49.959
<v Speaker 3>a head scratcher and a heartbreaker for at least one

0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 3>athlete who thought she had secured the bronze.

0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:55.319
<v Speaker 2>Plus two athletes who swam in the river Senne as

0:00:55.360 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 2>part of the triathlon have now withdrawn from the Games illness. Also,

0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:05.480
<v Speaker 2>pushing and shoving during the women's five thousand meter race

0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:08.880
<v Speaker 2>led to a runner being disqualified and being stripped of

0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 2>a silver metal, but they gave it back to her

0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:12.479
<v Speaker 2>two hours later.

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:13.000
<v Speaker 4>We'll explain.

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, a lot of flip flopping there. Yesterday, Welcome to

0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:19.160
<v Speaker 1>another Tea from Pere edition of our podcast. And it's

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:22.640
<v Speaker 1>already been a busy morning. We've watched how many events already.

0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, the sport climbing three meters springboard, men's diving, and

0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:29.959
<v Speaker 2>then we moved over to sport climbing. They were doing

0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 2>Boulder this morning. And where is she from Slovo, Slovakia,

0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:38.560
<v Speaker 2>Jakia and was a young sorry Slovenia.

0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:42.640
<v Speaker 1>She was amazing watching her just just attack the wall.

0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Everybody else struggling, swinging, falling. She was like boo boo, boo,

0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 1>boo boo, and she went straight up. And now we

0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:52.240
<v Speaker 1>moved on to women's park skateboarding, which is so cool.

0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 2>It just started and I don't know who and this

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 2>is I think we might we mentioned this yesterday. We

0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:59.600
<v Speaker 2>might give a gold, a silver and a bronze to

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:02.800
<v Speaker 2>broadcasters at the end of this because there are some

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 2>commentators who clearly we're watching skateboarding.

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 2>Whoever is doing the commentary has skated before, but explaining

0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:14.160
<v Speaker 2>things in the best of ways to folks like us

0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.480
<v Speaker 2>who just see people going up and down on a skateboard,

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:19.040
<v Speaker 2>but she's explaining the technical side of it, and it's

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:22.000
<v Speaker 2>you find yourself getting educated and some are so good

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:24.000
<v Speaker 2>at that, and whoever this is, she's one of them.

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you were asking questions and then ten seconds later

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 1>she answered all of them, because you know, you're like, wait,

0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.520
<v Speaker 1>what just happened? What does that mean? What happens next?

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:35.519
<v Speaker 1>And so when you have the really good commentators who

0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 1>know their stuff but also know how to explain it

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.919
<v Speaker 1>to us who don't understand the technical it's fantastic to happen.

0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:44.359
<v Speaker 2>Some of them are great. So it really hats off

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:45.680
<v Speaker 2>to a lot of them who are.

0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:47.799
<v Speaker 4>Doing really, really, really great work over there.

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:50.960
<v Speaker 2>But yes, we're watching women's Park Now skateboarding, and we

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 2>know a little about this because we talked to some

0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:54.919
<v Speaker 2>of the US skateboarders who are going to be doing

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:55.640
<v Speaker 2>park later.

0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:58.000
<v Speaker 4>But it's like, look at that. These are children.

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.960
<v Speaker 2>We're literally looking at teenagers as Olympians competing in skateboard,

0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 2>but they've all.

0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Been skateboarding since they were four or five, you know,

0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 1>And this is the women's happened today and then the

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.800
<v Speaker 1>men's are our three Americans who we spoke to. We

0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 1>are so excited to root them on. They compete tomorrow,

0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:14.680
<v Speaker 1>so we're looking forward to that as well. But man,

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 1>what a day it was in the gym, in the

0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 1>arena for gymnastics was I couldn't believe how dramatic it

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:29.000
<v Speaker 1>all became yesterday the balance beam finals. It was hard

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.160
<v Speaker 1>to watch. You already have a hard time watching the

0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.359
<v Speaker 1>balance beam, but how was it for you yesterday?

0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:34.280
<v Speaker 4>I hate the balance beam.

0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:36.360
<v Speaker 2>I just I hate watching the balance me and so

0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 2>much of what we watch in the Olympics. Maybe other

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 2>people and maybe you and others feel this way. It

0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:46.040
<v Speaker 2>doesn't matter if it's what country it is. I want

0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:48.520
<v Speaker 2>to see everybody do well. Yes, I want Siman and

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:52.120
<v Speaker 2>soon need to win. But anytime are there competitor falls,

0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 2>your heartbreaks. I don't want to see them do badly.

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:57.960
<v Speaker 2>And so the balance being certainly gymnastic, but the beam sucks.

0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 1>And yesterday it sucks. It was it was really difficult.

0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Half of the eight competitors fell off the beam. These

0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:08.560
<v Speaker 1>are the best of the best. These are the top

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 1>eight competitors from everyone who came as top olympians from

0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:16.200
<v Speaker 1>their countries, and four of the eight fell.

0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 4>That's wait in show.

0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:18.560
<v Speaker 2>I would you know, I'm trying to look it up

0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:20.479
<v Speaker 2>while we were telling the story of what the fall

0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:24.840
<v Speaker 2>percentage is on the beam in high in competitions. Because these,

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.800
<v Speaker 2>like you said, these are the eight you could essentially

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:30.920
<v Speaker 2>say the eight best women in the world on this

0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:32.320
<v Speaker 2>apparatus competa.

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Yesterday, absolutely and it still took down half of them.

0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 1>And you know what, I've always said this too, and

0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:41.280
<v Speaker 1>I think anyone who's competed knows. You get a momentum

0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:43.800
<v Speaker 1>going either way. And also there's a contagion that can

0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 1>happen when someone else starts falling. It just gets in

0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:51.120
<v Speaker 1>your head. So both Sony Lee and Simone fell. Simone

0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:55.040
<v Speaker 1>ended up finishing fifth, Soony ended up finishing sixth. It

0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.680
<v Speaker 1>was shocking. It was a game changer. But we were

0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:00.720
<v Speaker 1>very excited to see italy as Alistamada taking the gold

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 1>because we've been rooting her on. She has this beautiful

0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:06.719
<v Speaker 1>ballerina like elegance to her every time she competes, and

0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.320
<v Speaker 1>so it was fun to see her take the gold

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:12.159
<v Speaker 1>on that. But then it was interesting to hear what

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Simone and soon he said about the competition. They said

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:20.159
<v Speaker 1>that the crowd affected their routines. The audience was shushing

0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:26.240
<v Speaker 1>other gymnasts who were cheering on their fellow athletes during

0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:29.359
<v Speaker 1>the balance beam final, and some of the gymnasts and

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:31.840
<v Speaker 1>coaches all said there was kind of an awkward atmosphere

0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:36.200
<v Speaker 1>during the beam in the gymnasium on Monday, and I

0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:38.400
<v Speaker 1>think they were well meaning audience members, but they were

0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:41.719
<v Speaker 1>trying to silence the athletes, but it didn't have and

0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:45.360
<v Speaker 1>other spectators, but it didn't have the intended effect because

0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Simone actually looked bewildered after her beam performance and she

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:53.240
<v Speaker 1>could be heard asking Sunny, why are they shushing? And

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.200
<v Speaker 1>then Simone actually told reporters it was really weird and awkward,

0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:59.120
<v Speaker 1>not our favorite. None of us liked it. And I've

0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:02.040
<v Speaker 1>said this to you my small amount of competing in gymnastics.

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 1>When it's quiet, it's the worst because you know everyone's

0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.799
<v Speaker 1>looking at you. I prefer to have the floor exercise

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:12.440
<v Speaker 1>music on and other athletes competing because in your mind

0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:14.080
<v Speaker 1>you can kind of just focus and think, oh, they're

0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:16.000
<v Speaker 1>not all looking at me. And some of the gymnasts

0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:19.440
<v Speaker 1>said it actually the noise emulates practice allows them to

0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:21.640
<v Speaker 1>focus and they don't have to be so worried. That

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:22.520
<v Speaker 1>makes sense to me.

0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:26.480
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't make sense to me because I am from

0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.440
<v Speaker 2>not from that world. So we're watching. When we were

0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:32.680
<v Speaker 2>watching the all around and things go, the competition, the

0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:36.279
<v Speaker 2>team competition, everybody's so if you're on your balance beam,

0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:39.160
<v Speaker 2>somebody's over there performing on the uneven bar, somebody's over

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:42.400
<v Speaker 2>there on floor exercise, somebody's over there on the other prece.

0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:44.240
<v Speaker 4>So all that noise is going on.

0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:46.880
<v Speaker 2>And so I was watching, and I often say when

0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:49.000
<v Speaker 2>watching the balance beam, like damn, why did that not

0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.640
<v Speaker 2>throw her off? She doesn't know if those people are

0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 2>gasping because of her, or cheering because of her or

0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:58.240
<v Speaker 2>somebody else. That noise is what I thought was a distraction,

0:06:58.360 --> 0:06:59.240
<v Speaker 2>But there is to it.

0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:00.359
<v Speaker 4>Gymnasts welcome.

0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they're used to it. It's kind of like when

0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:04.479
<v Speaker 1>you're used to there always being just some sort of

0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 1>a like a white noise ish kind of thing going on.

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 1>You tune it out, but you almost kind of embrace

0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:11.320
<v Speaker 1>it because it makes you feel like, you know, you

0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:12.560
<v Speaker 1>can just focus on your thing.

0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.240
<v Speaker 2>World class they know, and they know better. They weren't

0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:17.080
<v Speaker 2>making excuses. They were talking about you need to make

0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:19.680
<v Speaker 2>clear there they weren't making excuses, but it was a

0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:20.440
<v Speaker 2>real thing.

0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:22.760
<v Speaker 1>And they were being asked, why did everybody fall off

0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:24.520
<v Speaker 1>the beam? And that was just something that came to

0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:35.800
<v Speaker 1>them and it makes sense to me. Okay, this didn't

0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 1>make sense to me at all what happened on the

0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:41.360
<v Speaker 1>floor exercise. By the way, Simone won silver in floor

0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:44.040
<v Speaker 1>exercise and that brings her total up to this Olympics

0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:47.160
<v Speaker 1>to four medals. She had three golds and one silver,

0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 1>but this was the first time she has not one

0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:55.360
<v Speaker 1>gold on floor ever. And we saw Brazil's Rebecca Androge,

0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:58.760
<v Speaker 1>who we've loved watching. She won gold, but there was

0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:03.400
<v Speaker 1>a confusing inquiry because Romania thought they had won bronze.

0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:07.280
<v Speaker 1>They had the flag up, they were celebrating, but Teamy

0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:11.520
<v Speaker 1>ussays Jordan Childs ultimately one bronze. She moved up from

0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:15.000
<v Speaker 1>fifth to third after her coaches put in an inquiry

0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:20.360
<v Speaker 1>about a specific move the jet. Her coaches actually said

0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:22.520
<v Speaker 1>they didn't think anything would come of it, and so

0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:26.000
<v Speaker 1>her coach actually described having her back turned and she

0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:29.680
<v Speaker 1>heard Jordan's scream when she saw her score shoot up

0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:30.920
<v Speaker 1>by a tenth of a point, which is all it

0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:34.000
<v Speaker 1>took for her to go up into third, and I

0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:37.320
<v Speaker 1>just had to feel so bad for that poor Romanian

0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:40.560
<v Speaker 1>gymnast who thought she had won. There was confusion for

0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:46.120
<v Speaker 1>a while, but in the end Simone and Jordan were

0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:47.800
<v Speaker 1>on the podium second and third.

0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:52.520
<v Speaker 2>That was another Olympic moment and it was an awful one.

0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.320
<v Speaker 2>Now this is not from the perspective of Jordan Childs

0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:57.200
<v Speaker 2>and these are the rules and you can do it.

0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:02.559
<v Speaker 2>But Romania has not had a metal in gymnastics in

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:06.960
<v Speaker 2>the Olympics for twenty years now, twenty plus years, and

0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:10.360
<v Speaker 2>the young lady won a medal, a bronze for her country.

0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.800
<v Speaker 2>So they have the flag out of folks, you've seen this.

0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.000
<v Speaker 2>They drape themselves in the flag. They've thrown it up

0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:20.800
<v Speaker 2>in pride in front of the whole audience, and that

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:24.320
<v Speaker 2>whole the whole country's celebration.

0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 1>Stopped was celebrating.

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:30.400
<v Speaker 2>It sucked to see that, just that that has to happen.

0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:33.079
<v Speaker 2>That's just it was an awful, awful moment for them.

0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.640
<v Speaker 2>But it's within the rules. The inquiry is just simply

0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:39.320
<v Speaker 2>you asking them to go back and review the scores,

0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:42.319
<v Speaker 2>period And sure enough, they talk about this all the time,

0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:44.760
<v Speaker 2>being a game of inches or just a little hop

0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:46.839
<v Speaker 2>or tenth of a point or thousands of a point,

0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:49.120
<v Speaker 2>not just it suck. Your heartbreaks Romania.

0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.680
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, the best explanation I got was that she

0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 1>didn't get full credit for something she had actually done.

0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:58.720
<v Speaker 1>And so if the inquiry leads to a more fair

0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:02.960
<v Speaker 1>score than obviously, that's what we want every correct That's

0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:06.440
<v Speaker 1>what every athlete would want, even the person who ended

0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:08.199
<v Speaker 1>up not getting the bronze, you wouldn't want to win,

0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:11.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, because there was poor judging. You want to

0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.679
<v Speaker 1>win fair and square, and so hopefully that is exactly

0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.640
<v Speaker 1>what happened. And look to see the Romanian gymnast and

0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:20.480
<v Speaker 1>just everyone in that audience, just their faces fall and

0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.320
<v Speaker 1>just the crushing where you thought you meddled and then

0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:26.679
<v Speaker 1>you didn't. But then to also see Jordan's excitement, I mean,

0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:30.920
<v Speaker 1>she was just beyond excited. And that was as sweet.

0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:33.160
<v Speaker 1>It was like just so bittersweet because you were excited

0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:35.480
<v Speaker 1>for Jordan, but your heart sank for Romania.

0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she's not our athlete, Romanian that but you do.

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:39.760
<v Speaker 2>You're pulling for all of them. But that was a

0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:41.920
<v Speaker 2>special moment for the country that was yanked and they

0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:43.640
<v Speaker 2>have to wait another possible four years.

0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:46.319
<v Speaker 1>And now yes, and now you know the next questions

0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:47.920
<v Speaker 1>will be for some moments. She's already been asked, are

0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:52.520
<v Speaker 1>you coming back LA twenty twenty eight. She has not. Obviously,

0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:55.000
<v Speaker 1>she hasn't ruled it out, but she did say this,

0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:58.720
<v Speaker 1>I've accomplished way more than my wildest dreams, not just

0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:02.560
<v Speaker 1>at these Olympics, but in monastics, walking away with four medals.

0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:04.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm not mad about it. I'm pretty proud of myself.

0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.440
<v Speaker 2>She should be, And you know, I learned something about

0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:08.959
<v Speaker 2>her in the past couple of days. We know how

0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:11.360
<v Speaker 2>grave of an athlete as she is, and she's the goat.

0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:13.840
<v Speaker 2>We know these things. You know what, It was really

0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:19.000
<v Speaker 2>cool to see her be a fan, to see her sportsmanship,

0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:21.320
<v Speaker 2>and to see her be such a supporter of her

0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.640
<v Speaker 2>teammates was really cool.

0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:25.600
<v Speaker 1>You're talking too much the medal stand.

0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:27.880
<v Speaker 2>No, well, that's part of it, but just in the

0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:30.640
<v Speaker 2>team competitions and in the individual competitions, even seeing her

0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:34.199
<v Speaker 2>in the crowd the other day being supportive of her team.

0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:37.000
<v Speaker 2>She is a member of a team. We know she's great,

0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:40.439
<v Speaker 2>but to see her perform and behave on the sideline

0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:42.960
<v Speaker 2>in that way you're like, oh, okay, she's not just

0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:46.040
<v Speaker 2>a great athlete, she's a great teammate, she's a great sportsman.

0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.480
<v Speaker 2>It was that part was great, and what they planned

0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.560
<v Speaker 2>at the podium was one of my favorite moments the Olympic.

0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah I missed it. I had to go. I was

0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:56.720
<v Speaker 1>actually going to lunch with my daughter meeting her new

0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.880
<v Speaker 1>college roommate and her roommate's mom, and so I have

0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:03.040
<v Speaker 1>to leave, and you were texting me, Oh my gosh,

0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:05.360
<v Speaker 1>you just missed the most amazing podium moment.

0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:07.880
<v Speaker 2>It might have been my favorite, one of my It's

0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:10.040
<v Speaker 2>in the top five. It's been a lot, but you

0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:15.760
<v Speaker 2>think of it. Simone So Rebecca Androgi of Brazil beat

0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Simone Biles fair and square on the floor and.

0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Simone has never not gotten gold on the floor.

0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.240
<v Speaker 2>Exit Peter fair and square. And you know who knew

0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:27.760
<v Speaker 2>that immediately was Simone Biles. She was called on this island.

0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:32.600
<v Speaker 2>She could was overheard saying I think she's got this one.

0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:33.920
<v Speaker 4>She knew it.

0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:38.160
<v Speaker 2>So the ceremonies, Simones get the silver. She's on the

0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.960
<v Speaker 2>left side. You got Jordan Childs on the right side,

0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:42.600
<v Speaker 2>She's got the bronze. And then in the middle and

0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.679
<v Speaker 2>then high as part of that podium is Rebecca Androgi.

0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.040
<v Speaker 2>As soon as they say her name announce her as

0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:54.040
<v Speaker 2>the gold medalist. Simone and Jordan, in a coordinated and

0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:59.480
<v Speaker 2>clearly planned and practice moment, turned to her and bowed.

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:00.760
<v Speaker 1>That's awesome.

0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:02.680
<v Speaker 4>They turned to her and bowed.

0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:05.920
<v Speaker 2>It was just a cute, sweet giving this woman her moment,

0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:08.800
<v Speaker 2>who has lost out several times to these two women

0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:12.080
<v Speaker 2>in the past, and to acknowledge her greatness and to

0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:16.920
<v Speaker 2>see a Simone bowels give somebody that kind of credit.

0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:18.600
<v Speaker 1>You know they've earned it.

0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:19.200
<v Speaker 4>Loved it.

0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 1>That was awesome. I just so I didn't see it,

0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.120
<v Speaker 1>but you just describing it just gave me chills right now.

0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:23.720
<v Speaker 1>Thank you.

0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Loved it and we can't forget that. Yesterday we talked

0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.520
<v Speaker 2>about the balance beam, the men's high bar. Oh, yesterday

0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:30.480
<v Speaker 2>was it was a train wreck and.

0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:32.720
<v Speaker 1>There was so there were no American athletes, so I

0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:35.040
<v Speaker 1>know there isn't as much coverage here in the United States,

0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:38.960
<v Speaker 1>but we watched it all and that that was the

0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:41.160
<v Speaker 1>women's balance beam, was the men's high bar.

0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:43.520
<v Speaker 4>Yesterday it was I don't count.

0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:46.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how there wasn't serious injury. When they

0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:50.640
<v Speaker 1>are gaining this unreal momentum swinging around. When they fall off,

0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.960
<v Speaker 1>it's hard, and then they have to get back up,

0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:57.679
<v Speaker 1>literally dust themselves off, and then get back up there

0:13:57.679 --> 0:13:59.560
<v Speaker 1>and finish. I don't know how they do it. I've

0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:03.480
<v Speaker 1>said I just walk out. I just I would run out.

0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:04.520
<v Speaker 4>Do you remember the falls?

0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Some of them fell off during the routine, but we

0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:10.800
<v Speaker 2>saw at least two, probably three guys on their dismount.

0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:12.920
<v Speaker 2>It's one thing to take a hop or a step.

0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:17.360
<v Speaker 2>They landed and completely dove forward onto.

0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Their faces, landed on their stomachs.

0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:19.800
<v Speaker 4>What the hell?

0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.320
<v Speaker 1>It kind of like, how how soon he fell on

0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:25.560
<v Speaker 1>the beam? That was tough on her stomach, that's tough.

0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:28.960
<v Speaker 1>But they all got back up, and that actually could

0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.880
<v Speaker 1>make me like cry and choke up. They, every single

0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:33.600
<v Speaker 1>one of them, from the beam to the high bar,

0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:38.720
<v Speaker 1>got back up and finished their routines, oh, knowing that

0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.440
<v Speaker 1>they had zero shot of a metal, knowing that their

0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:44.760
<v Speaker 1>score actually didn't matter, And they did it anyway. And

0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.080
<v Speaker 1>I loved watching the crowd.

0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:49.680
<v Speaker 4>As soon as those guys fall, they start clapping and cheering.

0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:53.200
<v Speaker 2>But they were competing as well in silence, right, yes, yesterday,

0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:55.840
<v Speaker 2>So Nobody talked about that as being an issue with that.

0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.680
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, but that could have had an impact. I

0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:00.640
<v Speaker 1>mean I get tears in my eye just seeing the

0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:06.440
<v Speaker 1>resilience and the pride and just oh the hard work

0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:09.120
<v Speaker 1>that went into that moment. Oh and the devastation.

0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:10.760
<v Speaker 4>But you talk about that science.

0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:13.000
<v Speaker 2>This is the place has a capacity of twenty thousand,

0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:16.200
<v Speaker 2>so we're not used to in at twenty thousand seat

0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:19.240
<v Speaker 2>stadium that it's loud because of NBA team is playing

0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:22.080
<v Speaker 2>in that type of capacity. Think of twenty thousand being

0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:23.520
<v Speaker 2>quiet just watching you.

0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:27.880
<v Speaker 4>That's what's real pressure. That's entirely too much. So but

0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:29.520
<v Speaker 4>congress to them. But the gymnastics is done.

0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Oh it was so awesome. I actually think this

0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:34.720
<v Speaker 1>was one of my favorite years. It was just so

0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:37.640
<v Speaker 1>incredible to watch and filled with so much drama.

0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:40.240
<v Speaker 2>But ugh, kid from Colombia, we gotta mention that's the

0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:42.280
<v Speaker 2>first ever medal in gymnastics for.

0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:45.800
<v Speaker 1>College seventeen years old. He was a megastar on that

0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:48.280
<v Speaker 1>high bar and he we will not that will not

0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:49.360
<v Speaker 1>be the last we see of him.

0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:51.720
<v Speaker 4>The guy you love from uh the got a medal

0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:52.400
<v Speaker 4>from Ukraine.

0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:56.040
<v Speaker 1>Yah, gotta medal as well. He was literally two heads

0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:59.600
<v Speaker 1>taller than his UH compadres who were on the metal

0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:01.760
<v Speaker 1>stand with But it was fun to watch and so

0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:03.120
<v Speaker 1>happy he got a medal as well.

0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:04.720
<v Speaker 2>All right, we want you want to turn now to

0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:08.200
<v Speaker 2>the to our EC updates. Yes, so we got now

0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:12.520
<v Speaker 2>two Olympic athletes who have dropped out of competition because

0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:15.800
<v Speaker 2>of illness. But these two are of particular note because

0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:20.120
<v Speaker 2>they had both previously competed in the triathlon, which means

0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:25.800
<v Speaker 2>they had to swim in the river Sin. So Belgium

0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:28.200
<v Speaker 2>they decided they are not going to compete in the

0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:32.920
<v Speaker 2>mixed relay after Claire Michelle, bless you, robok is sick

0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:38.160
<v Speaker 2>as well, Get that out of me.

0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:39.360
<v Speaker 4>But the Belgium.

0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:41.440
<v Speaker 2>Belgium decided they were not going to compete in the

0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:44.720
<v Speaker 2>mixed relay because one of their athletes, Claire Michelle, got sick.

0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:48.240
<v Speaker 2>They did not specify what the illness was, but Claire

0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Michelle had done the triathlon days prior and had to

0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:56.800
<v Speaker 2>swim in the sin And so when an athlete who's

0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.080
<v Speaker 2>been in that water ends up being sick, people do

0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:02.120
<v Speaker 2>robes obviously take note of. And then there you got

0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Adrian Brifford of Switzerland.

0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:05.040
<v Speaker 4>He had an issue as well.

0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:07.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he dropped off his country's mixed relay team because

0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:12.520
<v Speaker 1>of what they are calling a gastro intestinal infection. In

0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:14.359
<v Speaker 1>a statement, this was that it was impossible to know

0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:16.160
<v Speaker 1>if it was related to the water in the Sine.

0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Of course, they probably don't want to upset the home

0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:22.840
<v Speaker 1>country as well by throwing shade at the Seine, and

0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:24.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe there is no way to tell. But you know what,

0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:26.600
<v Speaker 1>my dad was always this is so funny. My dad,

0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:31.359
<v Speaker 1>the microbiologist who was giving us some scientific information about

0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.399
<v Speaker 1>the sin and what ecoli does to your body and

0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:36.480
<v Speaker 1>whether or not you can inoculate yourself from it, which

0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:40.040
<v Speaker 1>you cannot. But he would always tell me, whatever the

0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:42.399
<v Speaker 1>incubation period is, you can kind of go back and

0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:45.000
<v Speaker 1>figure out what it was. So this would be how

0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:47.360
<v Speaker 1>many days since they swam in the river sind from

0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:51.520
<v Speaker 1>when they got sick, Exuesday, they swam on Sunday, Sunday,

0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:54.200
<v Speaker 1>and then forty eight hours, my dad would be able

0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:56.280
<v Speaker 1>to tell you, like that's exactly when they got it,

0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Like he knows what the incubation period is. We should

0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:01.160
<v Speaker 1>have called him. It's too early, but we can probably

0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:03.640
<v Speaker 1>give you that update. But that actually is the way

0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:06.720
<v Speaker 1>you can go back and trace to see where you

0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:09.400
<v Speaker 1>got infected. So if it's a forty eight hour thing,

0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:14.760
<v Speaker 1>it's probably undeniably the sen. I mean, look, my dad

0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:16.920
<v Speaker 1>has told me in certain countries this is the truth.

0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Where I'm traveling to for work. Often when I'm in

0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:22.600
<v Speaker 1>the shower, to close my mouth and close my eyes,

0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:25.760
<v Speaker 1>and to actually shower with your back to the shower head,

0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:28.440
<v Speaker 1>because you don't want to ingest any of that water,

0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:32.640
<v Speaker 1>not even a little bit. So imagine, as so many

0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:36.120
<v Speaker 1>swimmers say they do when they're swimming. Just you. You

0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:40.000
<v Speaker 1>you actually drink in a lot of the water uncontrollably.

0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:44.080
<v Speaker 1>So it would make sense marathon swimming in the sen

0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Thursday and Friday. How about that for a We can't wait, mom,

0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I think it's I believe it's like a ten k basically, right,

0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:57.520
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, six point something miles in this sin because

0:18:57.520 --> 0:18:59.720
<v Speaker 1>they only swim, I say, only.

0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:01.640
<v Speaker 4>But what if?

0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:05.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so this will be a lot more water ingested yea,

0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:06.840
<v Speaker 1>yea to those swimmers cowing.

0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:08.879
<v Speaker 2>Up later, Look, they want to compete. I don't know

0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:10.600
<v Speaker 2>if they're we're talking about it. I don't know how

0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:11.560
<v Speaker 2>much they're talking about it.

0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:13.960
<v Speaker 1>It's It's funny. I've seen different some of the swimmers

0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:16.480
<v Speaker 1>coming out saying it's the most beautiful venue ever, it's

0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:18.359
<v Speaker 1>the most beautiful place I've ever swum, and then other

0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:21.720
<v Speaker 1>people saying it's disgusting. There was debris underneath me. I

0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:23.760
<v Speaker 1>don't want to know what it was. So it depends

0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:24.320
<v Speaker 1>on the swimmer.

0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:25.960
<v Speaker 4>You act debris underneath me.

0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:27.840
<v Speaker 2>You never want to swim in anything and you have

0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:29.760
<v Speaker 2>to say there's debris underneath it.

0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:31.960
<v Speaker 1>It was actually one of the Belgian swimmers who said,

0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:35.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to know. I just swam through. That's

0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:36.840
<v Speaker 1>probably better.

0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:48.679
<v Speaker 2>Because we know, let's get out of the water and

0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:51.880
<v Speaker 2>let's go to the track. And track is generally it's

0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:55.280
<v Speaker 2>not supposed to be a contact sport, but there was

0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:58.719
<v Speaker 2>some pushing and shoving during the women's five thousand meter final,

0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:03.240
<v Speaker 2>so much so that these second place finisher was disqualified

0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:07.000
<v Speaker 2>after the race. But the story did not end there.

0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:11.880
<v Speaker 2>We're talking about Faith Kipyegon of Kenya, the current world champion,

0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:14.960
<v Speaker 2>was in the lead on the inside lane two laps

0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:19.639
<v Speaker 2>to go. Okay Gudaf Sagui of Ethiopia then made a

0:20:19.680 --> 0:20:22.920
<v Speaker 2>move and rope she was trying to get the lead. Okay,

0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:25.199
<v Speaker 2>they always want to be on that inside lane. So

0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:28.359
<v Speaker 2>the guy was trying to move in on the space

0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:33.080
<v Speaker 2>Kipiegon was occupying at the time. So Kipiegon just gave it.

0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:34.359
<v Speaker 2>It was kind of a yo, get off of me

0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:36.760
<v Speaker 2>kind of a thing. You just got some full pushes,

0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:39.560
<v Speaker 2>some just kind of a almost looked like they were

0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:41.199
<v Speaker 2>playing hands eas you know, they were just kind of

0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:45.520
<v Speaker 2>doing that thing. Well, a lot of folks roads looked

0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:48.720
<v Speaker 2>at that, including the officials, and said that's too much.

0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:53.480
<v Speaker 2>And afterwards, sure enough, she ended up in second, but

0:20:53.640 --> 0:20:58.720
<v Speaker 2>quickly disqualified for what the officials called obstructing another runner. Again,

0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:02.280
<v Speaker 2>she finished second, that's a silver medal, but immediately was

0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:04.600
<v Speaker 2>told disqualified for her obstruction.

0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:05.600
<v Speaker 4>So that's the end of the story.

0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Yes, no, because she appealed the disqualification and that disqualification

0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:16.320
<v Speaker 1>was overturned. But it took what two hours for them

0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:18.600
<v Speaker 1>to make that call. So in the meantime they had

0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:22.720
<v Speaker 1>given first, second, third place to the second and third

0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:24.320
<v Speaker 1>to other runners.

0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:27.960
<v Speaker 2>And the third place runner from Italy ended up with

0:21:28.080 --> 0:21:30.800
<v Speaker 2>a bronze. Ended up in fourth in the race, but

0:21:30.800 --> 0:21:35.280
<v Speaker 2>with the disqualification, moved up to third. The disqualification was

0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:37.480
<v Speaker 2>then nullified, which means.

0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:39.280
<v Speaker 1>The fourth that you say is the worst place to

0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:42.800
<v Speaker 1>finish any race, Okay, I'll correct myself.

0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:46.119
<v Speaker 2>You know what's even worse than finishing fourth is thinking

0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:49.120
<v Speaker 2>you won third and then they push you back the fourth, right,

0:21:49.520 --> 0:21:51.760
<v Speaker 2>This sucks for her, which is exactly.

0:21:51.440 --> 0:21:53.800
<v Speaker 1>What happened in gymnastics too. It's so interesting.

0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:54.480
<v Speaker 4>It sucks.

0:21:54.480 --> 0:21:56.639
<v Speaker 2>You win a medal and then there's a review and

0:21:56.720 --> 0:21:59.720
<v Speaker 2>the medal is taken away, not because of something you did,

0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:01.639
<v Speaker 2>something that's completely out of your control.

0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:04.760
<v Speaker 4>So this whole story, my heart actually goes.

0:22:04.600 --> 0:22:07.879
<v Speaker 2>Out to the Italian runner who was in fourth gets

0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:10.000
<v Speaker 2>a bronze or thinks she does, and then it's later

0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:12.600
<v Speaker 2>taken away hours later. But a lot of folks who

0:22:12.680 --> 0:22:14.439
<v Speaker 2>reviewed this and looked at it, and folks who are

0:22:14.440 --> 0:22:16.640
<v Speaker 2>experts in this, thought the disqualification was too much.

0:22:16.680 --> 0:22:17.160
<v Speaker 4>It was a little.

0:22:17.480 --> 0:22:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Even the NBC commentator actually said that she believed that

0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:25.439
<v Speaker 1>Siguy was the one who should actually have been If

0:22:25.480 --> 0:22:28.240
<v Speaker 1>there was ever anyone in those two who should be

0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:31.920
<v Speaker 1>disqualified or have some sort of issue, it should have

0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:35.119
<v Speaker 1>been her, because you know, she's the one who was

0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:37.720
<v Speaker 1>trying to get in the other runner's lane, and so

0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:40.440
<v Speaker 1>she was inserting herself in a way that she shouldn't have.

0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:42.480
<v Speaker 4>So she was in the capego, was in the lead.

0:22:42.560 --> 0:22:44.680
<v Speaker 2>So it's not like she didn't have anybody to push, right,

0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:46.640
<v Speaker 2>So it's not she was just doing her thing.

0:22:46.840 --> 0:22:49.680
<v Speaker 4>So the other girl tried to come in and get

0:22:49.720 --> 0:22:50.320
<v Speaker 4>into her space.

0:22:50.800 --> 0:22:53.040
<v Speaker 1>She was a solid. I mean, she was in second place.

0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:54.919
<v Speaker 1>She's that was a silver medal win. There was no

0:22:55.000 --> 0:22:57.960
<v Speaker 1>photo finish. I mean, she absolutely was clearly in second place.

0:22:58.359 --> 0:23:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Funny enough, the woman who went from silver to bronze,

0:23:01.880 --> 0:23:04.960
<v Speaker 1>so she ended up getting third place. She said she

0:23:05.320 --> 0:23:07.840
<v Speaker 1>absolutely expected that to happen. And she said, you know,

0:23:09.280 --> 0:23:10.680
<v Speaker 1>I want to make sure I say her name right.

0:23:10.760 --> 0:23:12.560
<v Speaker 4>Look, they know their sport, Hassan, right.

0:23:13.080 --> 0:23:16.119
<v Speaker 1>She said that. She said that she knew she deserved

0:23:16.119 --> 0:23:18.520
<v Speaker 1>the silver, and so she had no problem taking the bronze.

0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:21.080
<v Speaker 2>And look those two and I saw the top two

0:23:21.320 --> 0:23:26.480
<v Speaker 2>finishers here ended up being teammates from Kenya. And look,

0:23:26.520 --> 0:23:29.719
<v Speaker 2>these women race all year long against each other. They

0:23:29.720 --> 0:23:31.400
<v Speaker 2>know each other well, but in a lot of them train,

0:23:32.000 --> 0:23:34.960
<v Speaker 2>they know this sport. So if they don't have an issue,

0:23:35.040 --> 0:23:35.879
<v Speaker 2>I don't have an issue.

0:23:35.920 --> 0:23:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Exactly. I think that's a good way to look at it. Well,

0:23:37.960 --> 0:23:40.480
<v Speaker 1>we are watching a lot of events today. Fifteen gold

0:23:40.520 --> 0:23:44.120
<v Speaker 1>medal events are up for grabs, a lot of them

0:23:44.760 --> 0:23:47.159
<v Speaker 1>in high profile metal events. In track and field. This

0:23:47.200 --> 0:23:50.240
<v Speaker 1>has been fun to watch. Team USA's two time Olympic

0:23:50.280 --> 0:23:53.120
<v Speaker 1>medalist Gabby Thomas is going to go for her first

0:23:53.160 --> 0:23:57.000
<v Speaker 1>gold medal in the women's two hundred meter and I

0:23:57.040 --> 0:23:59.080
<v Speaker 1>am so excited about this one. On the men's side,

0:23:59.119 --> 0:24:02.840
<v Speaker 1>a possible show down. This will be among raining Olympic champ,

0:24:02.880 --> 0:24:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Norway's Jacob Ingebritson, Great Britain's reigning world champ Josh Kerr,

0:24:08.640 --> 0:24:11.760
<v Speaker 1>and then the twenty twenty four US champ Cole Hawker.

0:24:12.440 --> 0:24:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Experts are expecting this is what they're saying, one of

0:24:14.600 --> 0:24:18.880
<v Speaker 1>the most vicious and hardest fifteen hundreds the sport has

0:24:18.920 --> 0:24:20.960
<v Speaker 1>seen in a very long time.

0:24:21.080 --> 0:24:22.720
<v Speaker 4>This is a fun, fun race.

0:24:22.880 --> 0:24:25.680
<v Speaker 2>That's it because it's you know, it's a fast race,

0:24:25.800 --> 0:24:28.719
<v Speaker 2>but it's still several laps they have to do. But

0:24:28.760 --> 0:24:31.000
<v Speaker 2>to see that group stay together, the strategies and that

0:24:31.160 --> 0:24:34.160
<v Speaker 2>whoever has that sprint kick at the end. I appreciate

0:24:34.200 --> 0:24:38.320
<v Speaker 2>this race, oh almost more than anything in track and field.

0:24:38.400 --> 0:24:40.639
<v Speaker 1>I get so nervous when they all obviously go to

0:24:40.680 --> 0:24:43.120
<v Speaker 1>the inside lane and fight for position, I mean, which

0:24:43.200 --> 0:24:45.479
<v Speaker 1>is what we saw happening in the women's But I

0:24:45.600 --> 0:24:48.399
<v Speaker 1>just don't even know how, like, oh, it's crazy to

0:24:48.400 --> 0:24:50.760
<v Speaker 1>watch nolal lyles in the even in the one hundred

0:24:50.760 --> 0:24:55.000
<v Speaker 1>go from last to first, is crazy how they position

0:24:55.080 --> 0:24:59.800
<v Speaker 1>themselves all right, basketball men's basketball, Lebron Kevin Durant, Steph

0:24:59.840 --> 0:25:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Kerr along with Team USA. They are facing Brazil and

0:25:03.680 --> 0:25:05.920
<v Speaker 1>a trip to the semifinals is on the line, so

0:25:06.119 --> 0:25:08.119
<v Speaker 1>they need to win this one that happens at three

0:25:08.240 --> 0:25:12.399
<v Speaker 1>Eastern time. And then, oh, I'm so this is probably

0:25:12.400 --> 0:25:15.960
<v Speaker 1>the thing I'm most excited about today. As we promised earlier,

0:25:16.040 --> 0:25:18.640
<v Speaker 1>we will not forget the US women's soccer team. They

0:25:18.680 --> 0:25:21.880
<v Speaker 1>are taking on Germany. That happens at noon Eastern time,

0:25:21.920 --> 0:25:24.159
<v Speaker 1>and that is what we are planning our day around.

0:25:25.280 --> 0:25:26.679
<v Speaker 2>I don't know who else is to I don't know

0:25:26.680 --> 0:25:29.200
<v Speaker 2>how other people are watching. I know the ratings will

0:25:29.240 --> 0:25:32.160
<v Speaker 2>now I have been off the charts. I don't understand

0:25:32.200 --> 0:25:34.359
<v Speaker 2>the ratings anymore because it's not just TV, it's not

0:25:34.440 --> 0:25:38.000
<v Speaker 2>just broadcast, it's not just NBC. They count USA, they

0:25:38.040 --> 0:25:41.200
<v Speaker 2>count streaming this, so I don't get it, but clearly.

0:25:40.880 --> 0:25:44.240
<v Speaker 4>These have really really been going well. But are people

0:25:44.320 --> 0:25:46.600
<v Speaker 4>watching live or are they most people watching?

0:25:46.960 --> 0:25:49.480
<v Speaker 1>I It depends if what your job is, and maybe

0:25:49.520 --> 0:25:51.560
<v Speaker 1>even people. The nice thing is because you can put

0:25:51.640 --> 0:25:53.480
<v Speaker 1>up on your computer. If you're in your cubicle, you

0:25:53.520 --> 0:25:56.240
<v Speaker 1>can have it up and watching. So it's just nice

0:25:56.280 --> 0:25:58.600
<v Speaker 1>to have the option to be able to watch it

0:25:59.040 --> 0:26:01.760
<v Speaker 1>streaming somewhere. You could even watch it on your phone.

0:26:01.840 --> 0:26:04.439
<v Speaker 4>People have peacock, Yeah, a lot of people have.

0:26:04.640 --> 0:26:06.840
<v Speaker 1>We get a little bit of a hard time finding

0:26:07.440 --> 0:26:10.160
<v Speaker 1>We had a very hard time finding the soccer matches yesterday.

0:26:10.240 --> 0:26:12.359
<v Speaker 2>I was it eighty five degrees and we were running

0:26:12.359 --> 0:26:14.760
<v Speaker 2>through the streets of midtown going into twelve places.

0:26:14.920 --> 0:26:17.200
<v Speaker 4>You all got peacock to see.

0:26:18.400 --> 0:26:21.080
<v Speaker 1>We finally we finally found it was like our fourth

0:26:21.160 --> 0:26:24.119
<v Speaker 1>or fifth place. We finally found it, but they didn't

0:26:24.160 --> 0:26:26.480
<v Speaker 1>have peacock. They found some Spanish channel that had it

0:26:26.520 --> 0:26:28.760
<v Speaker 1>on poor quality. You were like, let's get out of here,

0:26:28.840 --> 0:26:32.679
<v Speaker 1>we're watching. So then we race on the subway to

0:26:32.800 --> 0:26:37.920
<v Speaker 1>try and make it back to my apartment while they're

0:26:38.000 --> 0:26:40.440
<v Speaker 1>going through this is this is just halftime, right?

0:26:41.560 --> 0:26:41.679
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

0:26:42.200 --> 0:26:45.919
<v Speaker 2>We left the bar a little before halftime so we

0:26:45.960 --> 0:26:48.000
<v Speaker 2>could time it to get on a train and get

0:26:48.240 --> 0:26:50.560
<v Speaker 2>set up at home in time for the second half.

0:26:50.640 --> 0:26:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Yes, this was uh, this was our day yesterday. Yes,

0:26:55.040 --> 0:26:56.840
<v Speaker 1>it's all about getting in front of a TV. So

0:26:57.119 --> 0:26:59.040
<v Speaker 1>it's been fun. We are excited. We still have a

0:26:59.080 --> 0:27:00.800
<v Speaker 1>few more days left, and of course we will be

0:27:00.840 --> 0:27:03.360
<v Speaker 1>watching for you and you can keep listening to us.

0:27:03.440 --> 0:27:06.760
<v Speaker 1>You can get all the t from Perry right here

0:27:07.000 --> 0:27:07.440
<v Speaker 1>every day.

0:27:07.640 --> 0:27:09.200
<v Speaker 4>Okay, find that name might stick
