1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Welcome to Good Game with Sarah Spain, where we just

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 1: have one question. Do the ladies run this motherficker? Hell yeah,

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 1: well done, well done. On today's show, we're gonna talk

4
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: about the final standout Olympic moments as the Paris Games

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: wrapped up in fine fashion yesterday. Plus we'll explain the

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: Jordan Childs metal controversy and dive deep into the Olympic

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: history books. It's all coming up right after this. Welcome back,

8
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: my little orange slices. Hope you had a great weekend.

9
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: Here's what you need to know today. In basketball, the

10
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: champs are here, still champions, but it was close. Team

11
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: USA secured an unprecedented eighth straight gold medal in basketball

12
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: on Sunday, beating host country France sixty seven sixty six

13
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: in an absolute slugfest. Asia Wilson led the way yet

14
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: again in twenty one points, thirteen boards, and four blocks,

15
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: while Francis star Gabby Williams left it all out there,

16
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: hitting a one footed shot just as the final buzzer sounded,

17
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: but her foot was on the three point line. The

18
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: shot was a two pointer, and Les Blau needed three

19
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: to send the game to ot. Heartbreaking for France. But

20
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: an incredible effort from them, and they pushed Team USA

21
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: like we haven't seen before. Kalia Copper played a huge

22
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: role for the Americans down the stretch, scoring ten of

23
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: her twelve points in the fourth quarter. When asked to

24
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: describe Copper's performance in one word postgame, Wilson went with

25
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: two words. I'll let her say it. One word for

26
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: Kalia Copper today that beat. Afterward, cod tweeted out, quote,

27
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: m F Olympic gold Medalist address me as such end quote.

28
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: With the win, Dinah Tarassi becomes the most decorated basketball

29
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: player of any gender in Olympics history with her six

30
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: gold medals. I guess old people can dream, DT and

31
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: I loved. After the game, she was asked how it

32
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: felt to one up five time gold medalist and very

33
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: good friend Sue Bird, and Tarassi joked quote, Yeah, it's

34
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: the only reason I came. It's funny because we scored

35
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: the same amount of points today. Shout out USA Today's

36
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: Lindsay Schnell for asking that question and DT for being

37
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: able to have a little bit of fun with her

38
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,399
Speaker 1: bench performance in the game. Also, while you might think

39
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: that Diana and her wife Penny's kids will win their

40
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: classroom show and tell from here on out with six

41
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: gold medals, well think again. Diana Trossi told the AP's

42
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: Doug Feinberg that her kids go to the same school

43
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: with Michael Phelps, who also lives in Phoenix, and said,

44
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: one day, walking into show hotel, she was so hyped,

45
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 1: thinked she had the best thing to show, and then

46
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: she sees Phelps strolling up twenty three golds. Unbelievable, so good.

47
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: I also have to say, you know, as stressed as

48
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: I was watching this, and as fearful as I was

49
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: that this streak was going to end, I think this

50
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: close win might be the best thing to happen to

51
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: this still summer how underappreciated Women's Team USA squad because

52
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: I just think sometimes you don't realize what you've got

53
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: until you almost lose it, and thinking about their streak ending,

54
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: thinking about them not winning this gold might have finally

55
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: just knocked some sense into people to realize just how

56
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: incredible what they accomplished was sixty one straight Olympic wins,

57
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: eight straight gold medals. This dynasty better be on every

58
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: single list of the greatest teams of all time when

59
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: you're writing them and I think somehow this very very

60
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: close win might actually help with that. By the way,

61
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: rest of the basketball, Australia heading back down Under with

62
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: the bronze after defeating Belgium in soccer, same result, different sport,

63
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: more gold for the US women. US women's national team

64
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: handled business against the legend Marta and Brazil, winning the

65
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: gold medal match one nil on a goal from Mallory

66
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: Swanson in the fifty seventh minute. Fellow Chicago Red star

67
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: Alyssa Naire also coming up huge for the US, saving

68
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: a barrage of shots on goal that might have gotten

69
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: past a less skilled goalkeeper. But not to fear because

70
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: Nayor's here was there. Whatever you get it, build the

71
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: damn statue and I'm serious. You have a lot of

72
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: poses to choose from with their feet, with their hands,

73
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: Alissa Naire, thank you, you frickin' brick wall. Also really

74
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: fun game to watch. If you were following the US

75
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: women's national soccer team for this whole tournament, you saw

76
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: so many different styles of play trying to beat them.

77
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: And compared to, for instance, Japan, which played a low

78
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: block and was willing to sit back defensively and hope

79
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: the US made a mistake that they could pop over

80
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: the top and score with This was the complete opposite

81
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: playing five up front aggressive aggressive. It at the beginning

82
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: of this game, when I was seeing some US players

83
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: get cooked that I have not seen look human this

84
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: whole tournament. Naomi Germa getting cooked, Tierna Davidson getting turned around,

85
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: I was shook. I was truly worried. The first like

86
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: twenty minutes of this game had me absolutely terrified. But

87
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: the fitness of the US, the strategy of the US,

88
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: the fact that Brazil not only had injuries to folks

89
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: like yeah yah on the second half, but also just

90
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: could not sustain that kind of effort for the entire game.

91
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: US comes out on top again and it was just

92
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: it was incredible and beautiful to watch how quickly this

93
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: team transformed under Emma Hayes and her genius cannot be questioned.

94
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: No subs, subs starring people I don't like starn people.

95
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: I do like whatever she's doing. I'm not going to

96
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: ask any more questions. And I loved hearing from her

97
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: after the game too. She got emotional when she was

98
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: talking to NBC host Mike Trico about the journey that

99
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: she took to lead the US to go listen to this.

100
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 2: What did you identify that you have been able to

101
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: tap into to take this team from people on the

102
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 2: outside questioning to the top.

103
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: Of the podium.

104
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 2: Just love you know. I come from a place of

105
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 2: wanting players to enjoy himself and I've been at a

106
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 2: club for twelve years where I'd had huge success SPA.

107
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 2: I was desperate do well for this country. And I'm

108
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: so emotional because it's not every day you win a gold.

109
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: Medal, and why the desperation to do it for the US?

110
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: For you, I love America. It made me and I always.

111
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: Say that it definitely made me.

112
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: Well. A lot of Americans love you for what you

113
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: did with this team. Congratulations Emma and enjoy absolutely beautiful.

114
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys listen to men in blazers,

115
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: but Roger Bennett is a fellow Britt who came to

116
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: America and is like the most patriotic human alive. And

117
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: I just want to now hear a podcast of Emma

118
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: and Roger talking about how much they love the US.

119
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: They just there're such good storytellers that they're so beautiful

120
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: talking about our country. It makes me like more patriotic

121
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: about where I'm come from. I would love to see that.

122
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: Also worth noting, Emma made sure to give flowers to

123
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: Captain Lindsay Horan in the postgame presser, and it was

124
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: really quite beautiful to listen to.

125
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 2: There was someone who came in this leadside me. You

126
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 2: don't see all the work she does off of the pitch.

127
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 2: You don't see all the conversations she has, whether it's

128
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 2: help nurture a young player, or whether it's to settle

129
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 2: nerves or to remind people of their confidence, or to

130
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 2: push back on the things that mattter most. And she

131
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 2: has put performance first. She has put winning first. And yes,

132
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 2: we were at an Olympics, but not at any point

133
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 2: did on our days off we do unnecessary things or

134
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 2: do things that put the team's performance at jeopardy. She

135
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 2: took hard decisions with the players, and I really admire

136
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 2: that in her. I can see not only why she's

137
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 2: the leader of this team, but she made my job

138
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: so much easier because she was firm with everyone, but

139
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 2: also very fair. And I'm delighted for Lindsey because she

140
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 2: deserves that and doesn't get doesn't always get the credits

141
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 2: she deserves there's been an honor for me to work

142
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 2: with her. Hell I mean no, I Meana, don't ask

143
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 2: me any more question.

144
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: Now. Lindsay RAN's a crier. We know this, but it

145
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: was still extremely powerful to see her emotion hearing that

146
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: from her coach. This is someone who has had ten

147
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: total games with this team and she's already able to

148
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: move these players in such a powerful way. And it's

149
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: the fun stuff like getting a karaoke machine to keep

150
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: the players having fun, to the serious stuff like shining

151
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: a light on Harand's role and being able to give

152
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: her flowers there after She's gotten a ton of criticism

153
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 1: for her play. Horan has gotten cooked online and it's

154
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 1: clear that Emma Hayes understood that and wanted to make

155
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: her understand her role with this team as a leader

156
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: and as a player. And it's just like, I don't know.

157
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: Emma Hayes has the Midas touch, and if everything she

158
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: touches turns to gold, even in a turnaround this quick,

159
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: I think the future for you soccer looks very, very bright.

160
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: On the track. The medals kept coming Team USA absolutely

161
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: dominant at Stad de France. Twenty four year old Massai

162
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: Russell won her first individual medal in the hundred meter hurdles,

163
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: and it's the big one gold. After a disappointment last

164
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: year at the World Championships in Budapest, she redeemed herself

165
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: in the biggest and best way. Such a fun watch. Also,

166
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: the four by four hundred meter relay team of shmir Little,

167
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: Sidney McLaughlin Lavroni, Gabby Thomas and Alexis Holmes blew past

168
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: the competition and I mean, we're not in the same

169
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: camera shot to win gold and they just barely missed

170
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: setting a world record in the process. They did, though,

171
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: set an American record that had stood for twenty six

172
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: years since the Soul Games in nineteen ninety eight with

173
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 1: Flojo an incredible feat. McLauchlin Lavroni's second leg of the

174
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 1: race was the point of no return for the rest

175
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: of the field and if you haven't watched it, she

176
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 1: freaking takes off and that was it. Game over. What

177
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: was cool, too, is with such a lead, the third

178
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 1: and fourth laps were still giving it their all and

179
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: were able to get that American record. Just so cool.

180
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: Also cool, Team USA Men women in non binary won

181
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: a total of thirty four Track and field medals, including

182
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: fourteen golds. It's the United States best track and field

183
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: showing since the nineteen eighty four Games in la where

184
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: it won forty medals sixteen gold on their home soil.

185
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: So if the US track team were its own country,

186
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: the fourteen golds they won would be tied for sixth

187
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: on the overall Olympic medal table. Badass. In volleyball, the

188
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: US came up short against Italy and the indoor volleyball final,

189
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: earning a silver medal. That marks the seventh Olympic medal

190
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: for the US team, more than any other country in

191
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: indoor volleyball, and a fifth consecutive medal is the longest

192
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: streak in US indoor volleyball history. If you loved watching

193
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 1: that team. By the way, remember that seventy five percent

194
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: of the women on Team USA are signed to contracts

195
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: with Love Pro Volleyball, which is having its inaugural pro

196
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: season this year. Preseason in November, regular season in January.

197
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: In the pool, the US water polo team's twenty four

198
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 1: year metal streak ended with a loss in the bronze

199
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: medal match against the Netherlands. Dutch player Sabrina vanders Slute

200
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: scored with just one second remaining to put the Netherlands

201
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: up eleven to ten and hand Team USA the heartbreaking loss.

202
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: But for all the disappointment, which is understandable, the team

203
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: did make good on their promise to bring more eyeballs

204
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: to the game, and as official team heypeman Flavor Flave tweeted,

205
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 1: I love my girls and I'm so proud of them.

206
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: We introduced water polo to a new audience and we

207
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: just get and started. We headed to La twenty eight.

208
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: Let's head to Place de la conk Cord, where Japanese

209
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: bee girl Ami became the first breaking champion in Olympic history.

210
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,599
Speaker 1: In the final had to have battles, she swept Lithuanian

211
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: world champion Nika three to zero. There are certainly some

212
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: mixed reviews about the inaugural breaking competition, and it will

213
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,599
Speaker 1: not be returning at the twenty twenty eight Olympics in

214
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. We'll spend a little bit of time another

215
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: time getting into reygun, the breaking and everything else that

216
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: came out of that competition. On the green. New Zealand's

217
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: Lydia Coe won her first ever Olympic gold medal on

218
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 1: Saturday in the golf final. She previously earned silver and

219
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 1: bronze in Rio di Jenio in Tokyo and face stiff

220
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: competition in Paris, but in the end co outlasted Germany's

221
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: Ester Henselit by two strokes in the final round. In

222
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: the marathon, this was incredible. Dutch runner Sifon Hassan earned

223
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: herself a gold and a piece of Olympic history in

224
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: a stunning sprint finish in the marathon. Y'all a sprint

225
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: finish in the marathon. She set a new Olympic record,

226
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: finishing the race in two twenty two fifty five. If

227
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: you didn't watch it, it's literally like a brawl at

228
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: the end, like a push, a shove and elbow trying

229
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: to cut off a space. But Hassan finds a lane

230
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: and finishes in first. Not only did she win the marathon,

231
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 1: she also competed in a five thousand meters and the

232
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: ten thousand meters in Paris, winning bronze in each. That's

233
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: fifty seven thousand, one hundred and ninety five meters run. Unbelievable.

234
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: She's the first woman in Olympic hisitt to medal in

235
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 1: those three events in one Olympic Games. I hope she

236
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: has plans to take a nap or lie down for

237
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: a couple months. Also one piece of not Olympic news,

238
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: the Tour de France fem begins today. The first stage Rotterdam,

239
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: Netherlands to alp do Us, France is set to begin

240
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: at seven to ten am Eastern. There's some really cool

241
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: history to the break that the women's Tour de France

242
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: took before coming back and the women that fought for

243
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: its return. So go ahead and check that out. We'll

244
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 1: put a link in our notes. We got to pay

245
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: the bills, but when we come back, we'll tell you

246
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 1: about the controversy surrounding Jordan Childs bronze medal in the

247
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: floor exercise. All the latest on that coming up next

248
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 1: Welcome back Slices. So after all those beautiful, wonderful days

249
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: in France, we end up with a final medal count

250
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: of Team USA having one hundred and twenty six total

251
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: medals and tied with China for most golds, with forty

252
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 1: US women contributed to seventy four of those one hundred

253
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 1: twenty six medals. That's fifty eight point seven percent and

254
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: twenty seven of forty golds for sixty seven point five percent.

255
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 1: That includes the medals earned in both women's events and

256
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: mixed gender events. They are the only team to break

257
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: the one hundred medal threshold in these Olympics. And even

258
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: though there was a lot of talk about gender parody,

259
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: and while we still felt there was much to be desired,

260
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: the US women did put on a show. The twenty

261
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: six gold medals that they brought in are the most

262
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: by a women's team in a single Olympics. Now, granted

263
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: there were more metal events in Paris than ever before,

264
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: but still a spectacular stat And while we're talking about

265
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: final medal tallies, it might not actually be final. Let's

266
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: get into it, Okay, the Jordan Child stuff. I'm sure

267
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: you saw this over the weekend, the news that Chiles

268
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: is at risk of losing her Olympic bronze medal from

269
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: the floor final. It's a complicated situation and it's not

270
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: over yet. But we're going to break down for you

271
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: what we know so far. To start, we have to

272
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: go back to the event itself. It happened last Monday,

273
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: if you remember, Chiles was the last of eight athletes

274
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: to compete, and she initially earned a thirteen point sixty

275
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: sixty six for her routine, which put her in fifth place,

276
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: but Chiles's coach, to see a Landy, filed an inquiry

277
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: over the result. In gymnastics, there are a few things

278
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: that can be appealed and others that can't. For example,

279
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: let's say you think the judges should have scored you

280
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: higher for your execution of an element two. Bad execution

281
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: scores aren't up for debate. However, an athlete's difficulty score

282
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: can be challenged, and that's exactly what Child's coach did.

283
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: The challenge was accepted, Jordan's score was elevated to thirteen

284
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: point seven sixty six points, and that was good enough

285
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: for the bronze medal, ahead of Romanian athletes Anna Barboso

286
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: and Sabrina Voyena, who were bumped down to fourth and fifth.

287
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: You remember the moment watching childs get emotional, so excited,

288
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: but unfortunately that was just the beginning. Romania ended up

289
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: submitting its own appeal, this one to the Court of

290
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: Arbitration for Sport also known as CIS. This court is

291
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: tasked with handling all sorts of disputes in international athletics,

292
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: and on Saturday, it ruled that Child's petition should have

293
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: been denied, not because it was wrong, though, because it

294
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: was submitted too late. In gymnastics, athletes typically have until

295
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: the next competitor scores are posted to submit an appeal,

296
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: so about two to three minutes, but Chiles, as the

297
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: last competitor in the event, was under a different time

298
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: restriction one minute. Romania appealed the child's coach had submitted

299
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: the petition one minute and four seconds after the score

300
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: was posted, and CIS agreed. In its decision, the court

301
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: said Childs's previous score should be reinstated and that Gymnastics

302
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: International Federation known as FIG, should update the results of

303
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: the competition accordingly. Once FIG did that, it moved Chiles

304
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: back to fifth place, and it wasn't clear what would

305
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: happen next. What followed was sort of like a high

306
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: stakes game of hot potato, with FIG handing the task

307
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: of reallocating medals to the IOC, and it was possible

308
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: that the IOC would allow Childs to keep her bronze

309
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: and just award another bronze or two to Romania. Because remember,

310
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: Child's petition wasn't overturned because it was wrong, just because

311
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: it was alleged to have been late. But that's not

312
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: what the IOC did. Instead, the organization announced on Sunday

313
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: that it would strip Childs of her bronze medal and

314
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: reallocate it to Anna Barboso of Romania. Are you still

315
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: with us? It's a lot and it's not over yet,

316
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: because a few hours after that, USA Gymnastics announced that

317
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: the organization had submitted additional evidence to CAS showing that

318
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: Child's petition had actually been submitted forty seven seconds after

319
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: her score was posted, well within the deadline. According to

320
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 1: USA Gymnastics, the video showing that they had made the

321
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: deadline wasn't available to USA Gymnastics prior to that initial

322
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: CAS decision. Now, this isn't a world of logic and reason, clearly,

323
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 1: because if it was, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Instead,

324
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 1: we have entered a reality in which procedures are prioritized

325
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: over all else and CIS decisions are typically binding. So

326
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: it's very power that the tribunal won't even take a

327
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: look at the evidence submitted by USA Gymnastics because it

328
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: wasn't submitted ahead of the hearing. God, all we know

329
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: right now is this, this is such a step situation,

330
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: and let's take a step back from the scores and

331
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: appeals for a moment to remember that at the end

332
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: of the day, what we're talking about is people's lives,

333
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: these athletes' lives. And while the decision makers at THIG

334
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: and CIS and the IOC have been able to make

335
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: these rulings in relative obscurity, the athletes at the center

336
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: of the story have faced the brunt of criticism and harassment.

337
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: In the aftermath of Jordan's bronze medal win, she was

338
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: subjected to attacks on social media. Then once it was

339
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: announced that she'd need to give back her medal, a

340
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: bunch of people online went after the Romanian athletes. Enough

341
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 1: from everybody, the reality is that we might not know

342
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: how this plays out for months years. Sometimes cases like

343
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 1: this take a really long time. But in the meantime,

344
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: what a shitty way to end these Olympics. And speaking

345
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: of ending the Olympics, we won so much shit that

346
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: we had to talk about, and we saw so much

347
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: go down this weekend. I don't even have time to

348
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: talk about the closing ceremony today, So we're going to

349
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: do that along with giving you our Olympics highs and

350
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: lows from the first ever nursery at the Games to

351
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 1: the literal shit storm that was swimming in the sun tomorrow.

352
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: So be sure to come back tomorrow and be sure

353
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: to stick around today, because when we come back, a

354
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: trip down memory lane to a time when the nerds

355
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: lined up alongside the jocks and use their words like

356
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 1: weapons in a literary sword fight for gold. Coming up,

357
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: Welcome back, Slices. It's time for a little bit of

358
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: yes and yes, And because as we celebrate the incredible

359
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 1: displays of athletic achievement at the Paris Games, I want

360
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: to look back at a time when it wasn't just

361
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: the broad shouldered, six pack abbed long legged among us

362
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: who could claim Olympic glory. So we're gonna say yes

363
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: to outstanding feats of sport. And did you know you

364
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: used to be able to get a metal and sculpture.

365
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 1: Shout out to the ads that kicked off all the

366
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: episodes of the great podcast Full Time with Megalinihan, which

367
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: by the way, is a muscless and always but especially

368
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: has been during this Olympic Soccer tournament, there were these

369
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: ads called the Summer Games Minute, presented by mass Mutul,

370
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: and there were all sorts of cool facts in them,

371
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: and one that stood out to me revealed unusual events

372
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: in the early Olympic Games, events like poetry. So I

373
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: went digging and found a great story from the Smithsonian magazine.

374
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 1: We'll link to it in the notes. It's entitled poetry

375
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: was an official Olympic event for nearly forty years. What happened?

376
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: By Ellen Wexler. So the story talks about how Pierre

377
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: de Coubertant, who is this French baron known as the

378
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: founder of the modern Olympics back in eighteen ninety six,

379
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: was inspired by the ancient Greek Olympics, and he pictured

380
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 1: a competition that would quote reunite in the bonds of

381
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: legitimate wedlock, a long divorced couple, muscle and mind unquote.

382
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: So kuber Tan imagined the modern Olympics, but when he

383
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: imagined them, he wanted them to include the arts, and

384
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: his efforts mostly fell on deaf ears until nineteen to

385
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: oh eight, when officials finally agreed to add five arts

386
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: competitions to the upcoming Olympics in Rome in nineteen to eight, literature, painting, sculpture,

387
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: music and architecture, a collection of categories that they called

388
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: the Pentathlon of the muses, but Mount Vesuvius erupted and

389
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: relocated the Games to London, so the arts were put

390
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,479
Speaker 1: on hold again, which is why it wasn't until nineteen

391
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: twelve at the Stockholm Games that organizers finally introduced the

392
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: five arts competitions as official Olympic events. The first written

393
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: work to win an Olympic gold medal was called Ode

394
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: to Sport. It was a poem by George Holrod and

395
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 1: m Eskbach. It begins, Oh Sport, delight of the Gods,

396
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: distillation of life in the gray dingle of modern existence,

397
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 1: restless with Barren Toyle, you suddenly appeared like the shining

398
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: messenger of vanished ages, those ages when humanity could smile. Yeah,

399
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: there was a dingle in there, did you hear it? Also,

400
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: I can't promise that I pronounced Horod and Erschbach correctly,

401
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: because it doesn't matter because they didn't actually exist. It

402
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: was actually ku Vertad himself who wrote the winning poem.

403
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: He just used a pseudonym. And the problem was these

404
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: competitions for the next couple Olympics suffered from low submissions

405
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: or due to some top authors not participating, just low

406
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: quality submissions. Other times, like during Hitler's reign over the

407
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 1: Olympics in Berlin in nineteen thirty six. The awards were

408
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: questionably given out from the Smithsonian article, the quality of

409
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: the arts competition's record keeping was inconsistent, and many of

410
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: the winning works have quote mysteriously vanished, perhaps as critics

411
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: have suggested, because of their dubious literary quality unquote. So

412
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: more from this story, historians have searched in Vain for

413
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: ambitious works like a Writer's Instructions to his Lover, for

414
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: which the German equestrian poet Rudolph Binding won the silver

415
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 1: medal in Amsterdam in nineteen twenty eight, or the French

416
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: rugby champion Charles Gonet's zealous ode to Ancient Greek athletes

417
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: before the Gods of Olympia Bronze, Paris, nineteen twenty four.

418
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: So the story goes on to say that the Pentathlon

419
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: of the Muses was part of the Olympics for almost

420
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: forty years, awarding a total of one hundred and fifty medals,

421
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,479
Speaker 1: but after the nineteen forty eight London Olympics, officials decided

422
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 1: to scrap the arts categories. So yes to Sports Olympics,

423
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: and even if the concept didn't soar like someone biles

424
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: on the floor exercise. I'd still kind of like to

425
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: see what today's artists and writers and musicians could come

426
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: up with, Like how would they artfully depict the joys

427
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,239
Speaker 1: that we've seen this summer in Paris, Because I think

428
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: we all agree Beyonce deserves a gold medal and this

429
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: might be just how we get her won. Yes, and

430
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: speaking of the arts, we love that you're listening, but

431
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 1: we want you to get in the game every day too.

432
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: So here's our good gameplay of the day. We want

Speaker 1: of muses a haikup, a poem, a song, a sculpture,

435
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: whatever sums up the thrill of victory, the agony of

436
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: defeat the Paris Games. For instance, this haiku that I

437
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: just wrote, swimming in the Seine, I got eqo eye again,

438
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: a river of shit, simple, beautiful And the river is
