1
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: It's Sunday, August fourth, and Team USA is distancing itself

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: from the competition in the overall medal count, enjoying its

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: largest lead so far of the Paris Olympics A.

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 2: The United States has now won sixty one Olympic medals,

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 2: fourteen of them gold. France now a distant second with

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 2: forty one total medals. China has thirty seven.

7
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: That is impressive and welcome to Amy and TJ. The

8
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: biggest stars for Team USA were in action Saturday, including

9
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: at the track where sprinters were running through a lot

10
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: of rain and there was an unexpected empty lane and

11
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: then an unexpected result. All that drama to crown the

12
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: fastest woman in the world.

13
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 2: Plus in American swimmer finishes third but doesn't win bronze.

14
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: We'll explain. Katie Ladecki keeps making history an American three

15
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 2: peats as Olympic champion. The palmahorse guy does it again,

16
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: and stop me if you've heard this one. Some mon

17
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: Biles competes, some mo Biles win goal.

18
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's almost an foregone conclusion at this point, at

19
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: least after what we've seen with this Olympics. That's a

20
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: pretty cool spot to be in.

21
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,279
Speaker 2: She is three goals in right.

22
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: Now, Yes, and more to come. I would suspect she's

23
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: got what left. She gets to do the floor exercise

24
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: and she gets to do the beam. Yeah, she's doing

25
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: two more and so yeah, today we have Sunny Lee

26
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: on the uneven bar. She's the only American competing in

27
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: that event. Finals. But yeah, a lot more simone to

28
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: com which is always good for those of us.

29
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 2: Watching and those of us those who have been listening

30
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 2: to us here. You know, oftentimes we are recording when

31
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 2: we're watching events live. So we got live Bad Midton

32
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: going this morning and again Robes every morning. You were

33
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 2: up with me for the most part all morning this morning.

34
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: But I usually have some story for you, But the

35
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: one today would have been and you saw it happen

36
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: the women's semi final of Bad Midton. Now, most of

37
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: the folks listening to my voice wouldn't make that appointment

38
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 2: viewing necessarily.

39
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: I know that I wouldn't have otherwise.

40
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: But you saw one of those just heartbreaking Olympic moments,

41
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: one we didn't even know from Spain Carolina Maren. She

42
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: is up in her match, has to retire because she

43
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: has a knee injury.

44
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: She retired in the middle of the match. And this

45
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: is Rio's gold medalist, So this is somebody who has

46
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: had a storied and incredible run at the Olympics, and

47
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: to see it all fall apart in the middle of

48
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: the match was devastating.

49
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: Up one set and up in the second set, so

50
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: she was kind of on her way, maybe going to

51
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: another final.

52
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: They were saying she was cruising to a gold medal,

53
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: That's what some of the analysts were saying.

54
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: But to see her on her knees screaming, not I

55
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: don't even know. I don't think that was in pain.

56
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: She was screaming just an agony of what she knows.

57
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: She couldn't continue. To see an athlete that knows they

58
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 2: can't keep going, you know, she would have given anything,

59
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 2: so you know she had to be injured.

60
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: Gives me chills in the worst ways. She was punching

61
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: the ground in just utter frustration, devastation. So just it's

62
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: it was excruciating to watch. She's had an amazing Olympic run,

63
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: but it's hard to see it all happen, actually see

64
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: it end on live television, and that's exactly what just happened.

65
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: But again, some of the other Olympic moments. We'll have

66
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: this for folks later, but we just had a really

67
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 2: good time talking to a couple of Olympians who are

68
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 2: going to be competing in coming days. They're Olympians who

69
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: some even question if they're Olympians and should even be

70
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,839
Speaker 2: walking around Olympic village, like what are you doing here, kid?

71
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: But it was cool to talk to these guys.

72
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, we talked to the park skateboarders from southern California

73
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: and they are, man. You know, you get a stereotype

74
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: of a skateboarder from southern California, will they fit it.

75
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: They they're chill, they're cool, and they're they're just kind

76
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: of off being there, don't really care so much about

77
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: getting the medal, just enjoying the experience, man, because this

78
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: is what they love. It was it was fun. We

79
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: can't wait to share that with you a little bit.

80
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: They compete next week, and these guys we talked to,

81
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: they are the best, the best, including his seventeen year

82
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: old world the world champion, the.

83
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: Number one rank. That's seventeen years old.

84
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: Oh he is chill, just chill, like so chill, Colin

85
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: jo just chilling. Now back at home.

86
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: Well, I guess he's made it back. This was a

87
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 2: weird one. Here was a he had the assignment in Tahiti,

88
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 2: which was a great assignment. He was the roving reporter

89
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 2: for the coverage of the surfing there in Tahiti. And

90
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: I guess a lot of people go to Tahiti and

91
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: they're known for their coral.

92
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: Well, coral to look at, not coral to step on.

93
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, his foot looks like he went dancing on it.

94
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: But Colin is gone already, right.

95
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, So he he'd made, of course, the funny man

96
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: that he is making jokes about the fact that he

97
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: had already been injured more than any Olympian and had

98
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: visited the medical tent more often than any other actual athlete,

99
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: because he yes, he ripped up his toes pretty badly

100
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: on the coral. And then the bad part is then

101
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: he got an infection and I think they even said

102
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: it was a staff and which can be very serious.

103
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: I mean it can actually be deadly. And then he

104
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: got an ear infection I think on top of that.

105
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: So he was joking that his feet and his head

106
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 1: couldn't go on the water, but he was not opposed

107
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: to getting his torso wet so, I mean, he tried

108
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: to make all the jokes he could about it, but

109
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: it actually got so serious they had to sent him

110
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: back home.

111
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 2: And he did. He's been reporting with his no shoes on.

112
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 2: Whether that's a good idea or not, who knows.

113
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 1: But it turns out I don't think it was a

114
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: good I think if he could go back, he probably

115
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: would have worn reef shoes or something to that effect.

116
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 2: But we can smile about a little bit only because the

117
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 2: funny man, the SNL guy, is still making jokes about it.

118
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 2: We will stay on top but that and get an update.

119
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 2: Hopefully he's fine. Sure he's uncomfortable, but hopefully he'll be

120
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: all right.

121
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, we will wish him the very best. But he

122
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: still had a big smile on his face. As long

123
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: as he's laughing, we can too.

124
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 2: I guess we had some smiles and some tears yesterday.

125
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 2: This was appointment viewing for us yesterday as well. It's

126
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 2: kind of been one of the biggest stories of the Olympics.

127
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: That's right. It was an emotional victory for Algery and

128
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 1: Bachman Clive. We've been talking about this story for the

129
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: past several days, but this victory in the ring guarantees

130
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: her a medal, which is incredible. But she's been fighting

131
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: perhaps an even bigger battle outside of the ring, a

132
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: battle of misinformation, online abuse, and this is all over

133
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: people questioning her gender eligibility. And you know, her father

134
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: even had to get involved and he was providing proof

135
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: of her birth certificate that she was born a female,

136
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: that she is a female. And so this has just

137
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: been a tough battle for her. But she beat Hungary's

138
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: Anna Lusa Hamori, who, by the way, contributed to some

139
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: of that social media I'll call it scrutiny, but others

140
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: would say abuse or bullying. Uh. She essentially compared her

141
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: to a beast in the ring and a lot of

142
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: people calling her a person and not a female. I mean,

143
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: just really tough stuff. So now she has to go

144
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: into the ring with this woman who has contributed to

145
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: some of this discord in the quarterfinals of the women's

146
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: sixty six kilogram match. I think is what it's called

147
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: is it worth? What is it called? Weatherweight? Uh? Wilter wait,

148
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: I knew I was gonna get it wrong. You kno'd

149
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: begin with a W. But this means at least that

150
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: Khalif will She's guaranteed a bronze medal and she's advancing

151
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: to the semi finals. But we watched and waited for fire,

152
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: us like what are these two women going to do

153
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: in the ring when they finally meet. But you know what,

154
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: it was a clean and fair fight, and I was

155
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: heartened to see that despite what was happening outside of

156
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: the ring, both women were civil. They showed sportsmen like

157
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: behavior towards one another. And you know, Khalif was the

158
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: better boxer, and the judges agreed so like by far

159
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: was it wasn't even close. And when they lifted up

160
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: her hand, it wasn't until after she left the ring

161
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: and was walking away that the emotion of the wind

162
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: and I would imagine the past few days just washed

163
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: over her and we saw her not just cry, but

164
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: she sobbed and and I just in that moment, you know,

165
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: we can all talk about stories and kind of almost

166
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: clinically talk about them or have an opinion, but you

167
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: really saw the human impact in that moment. It just

168
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,239
Speaker 1: it all came over her. I got tears in my eyes.

169
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: Our daughters were watching. I know Ava got tears in

170
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: her eyes. We had chills just thinking what this poor

171
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: woman has been through at the same time trying to

172
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: win an Olympic medal. I mean this is her second Olympics.

173
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: Aside from if you throw out all the controversy, you

174
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: throw everything, none of that, none of that ever happened.

175
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 2: This is a person who's been fighting for since she

176
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 2: was a kid. And in that moment she got out

177
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 2: of the ring, she just realized she just won an

178
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: Olympic medal. Yeah, you would cry over that anyway, given

179
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: all you've gone through and sacrifice, to think of everything

180
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 2: on top of that, I can't imagine what that emotional

181
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 2: release was in that moment. I guess we kind of

182
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 2: saw someone.

183
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: And you know, it was so cool. I get since

184
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: reliving it watching it, seeing that crowd cheering her on,

185
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: supporting her.

186
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 2: And that's not just Algerians.

187
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, everybody in that crowd was cheering her on. And

188
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: I hope she feels that love and that supporters she

189
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: goes on to the semifinals now, and good for her

190
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: because even her father said, because he just said, this

191
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: is immoral, this is unfair, and I hope she wins

192
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: the gold and I think a lot of people will

193
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: be rooting for her for a lot of different reasons

194
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: because she is beyond all of this, an exceptional boxer.

195
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: And the IOC president Thomas Boch I think we've all

196
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 1: seen him over the years, so I'm at opening ceremonies.

197
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: He spoke out yesterday. He finally wanted to put this

198
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: to rest, but he defended Khalif, saying, what is going

199
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: on in this context in the social media, with all

200
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: of this hate speech, with all of this aggression and

201
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: abuse and fueled by this agenda, he said, is totally unacceptable,

202
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: and he said she should not be questioned further. She

203
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: is absolutely eligible to compete, and he really wanted to

204
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: put a rest to this, and we can only hope

205
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: that will be the case. Khalif will face Taiwanese boxer

206
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: in the semi finals that happens on Tuesday, and we

207
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: will be watching.

208
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hope this is done. I appreciate the IOC.

209
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 2: I mean, what else is there to be said about it? Yeah,

210
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 2: it's done. Yep, letter fight. Well, the fastest woman in

211
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 2: the world this year will not have the title of

212
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: fastest woman in the world. All right, let's explain here

213
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 2: we Yesterday was the day track and field is one

214
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 2: of the highlight events the one hundred meter now by

215
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,719
Speaker 2: most accounts and most guesses and most betting lines, she

216
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 2: Carrie Richardson. This was her race to lose. I suppose

217
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: because she has been the fastest woman in the world,

218
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 2: currently has that title because she's run the fastest time

219
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 2: in the world this year. However, she struggled a little bit.

220
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 2: We saw her in her prelium. She actually lost in

221
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: her early round to Julian Alfred of Saint Lucia, and

222
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: it looked like and rose we were watching like she

223
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,479
Speaker 2: was laboring a little bit to finish, just to qualify

224
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 2: for the next round. And then a lot of people

225
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: kind of scratch their heads, Well, she'll get it together

226
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 2: in the final final comes around. Sure enough, Sha Carrie

227
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 2: comes in second to the same woman that beat her

228
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 2: in the early round, Julian Alfred of Saint Lucia. The

229
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 2: cool part about that story is Saint Lucia, the pitons

230
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 2: that we love there.

231
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: I love those mountains, Oh.

232
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 2: My goodness, we love We both spent time on that island.

233
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 2: This is their first gold medal ever in the history

234
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 2: of that island.

235
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: Congratulate you know what, And she earned it. She was

236
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: amazing to watch run. And you know, I guess I

237
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 1: just didn't realize Sha Carrie is five to one. I

238
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: had to look it up. And you know, just to

239
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: think she does what she does with her body in

240
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: this speed at which she does it with given the

241
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: fact that from a stature standpoint, she's at a disadvantage

242
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: shorter legs, longer legs, I imagine that has to be

243
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: a part of it, the physicality of doing what they do.

244
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: But you know, everybody raised their heart out and it

245
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: was it was a beautiful thing to watch Julian celebrator,

246
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: oh yeah, with her family and her supporters, and I

247
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: believe it was her coach in the stance, just the tears,

248
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: the joy, and it was because it was unexpected. No

249
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: one I didn't her name wasn't on any radar that.

250
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 2: I saw, at least to that point. The three women

251
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 2: who were on the podium for one hundred meter in

252
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 2: the last Olympics, it's Tokyo. We're all three Jamaican women.

253
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 2: All three of those women were not in this final.

254
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 2: Two of them didn't qualify, and then one of them

255
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 2: dropped out unexpectedly. Shelley Fraser Price. She has won two

256
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 2: Olympic gold medals in the one hundred meter and right

257
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 2: before her race and the semi she dropped out. Everybody's like,

258
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 2: what's going on, and it's some injury that hasn't been

259
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 2: I haven't seen it fully explained anywhere yet.

260
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: We just saw the letters d NS did not start

261
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: that was flashed on the scoreboard just moments before she

262
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: was supposed to race, Shakerri and Julian and all the others,

263
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: and so they literally said there's an empty lane, and

264
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: really no explanation was offered. We got the explanation later

265
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 1: that it was an undisclosed injury, but it remains undisclosed

266
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: as of this recording.

267
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 2: But given I mean, given her history, this is her

268
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 2: fifth Olympics against she won back to back gold medals

269
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 2: in this event, we know it had to be serious

270
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 2: because we know she wanted to be out there running.

271
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 2: But we set it up that way Rose because given

272
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 2: that those three Jamaicans were out of the final, Sha

273
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 2: Carry it looked even better for her right to win

274
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 2: the gold. But sure enough, Julian Alfred, it looked like

275
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 2: Sha Carry got didn't get off the blocks very well.

276
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 2: It was a slow start for her and she was

277
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 2: struggling just to get back to that second place, that

278
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 2: silver medal position. She did, but we have to what

279
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 2: do you do here? Robes And this is not a failure,

280
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 2: but to some it will seem a bit of a

281
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 2: disappointment because she was expected given what happened with Tokyo,

282
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 2: and we've been waiting for her to have her Olympic moment.

283
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 2: It the expectations was so high.

284
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: If that was what I was just going to say,

285
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: I cannot imagine the pressure of going into the Olympics

286
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: and it's it's your entire country is expecting you to

287
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: win gold. These sponsors who has sponsored you, expect you

288
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: to be the gold medalist. They have poured I can't

289
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: imagine how much money into you with all like she's

290
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: in every commercial you see.

291
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 2: So Loan Sha carry who else? Who are bigger faces

292
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 2: for the United States and the Olympics. Even every time

293
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 2: you turn on the TV you see those two faces.

294
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 2: I mean, who else would it be?

295
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: I mean it's non stop. Noah Lyles perhaps a little

296
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: bit too, you know, he's not as.

297
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 2: Lone the commercials and whatnot. Sydney the hurdler maybe, but.

298
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: No, You're coming into these games and it's your first

299
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: Olympic Games. You know what happened. You got disqualified from Tokyo,

300
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: so you feel that pressure and now it's your moment.

301
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: All these years everyone's been waiting. That is I can't imagine.

302
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: So to have gotten silver is still a phenomenal feat

303
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: for obviously, you saw how incredible those women were. They

304
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: are like the best of the best, and she got

305
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: a silver medal. But I know that's not what people

306
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: are expecting. So you hate to think that getting a medal,

307
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: and especially a silver medal, is a disappointment, but in

308
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: this case it was.

309
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 2: And this is the this is the This thing's even

310
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 2: more I said, the fastest woman in the world does

311
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 2: not have the title the fastest woman in the world. Obviously,

312
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: whoever wins thee hundred met at the Olympics, you are

313
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: the fastest woman in the world. You keep that title

314
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 2: until the next time around. So Alfred, Julian Alfred, who

315
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 2: won the gold medal yesterday, ran the one hundred meter

316
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 2: in ten point seven to two seconds. That was the

317
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 2: winning time yesterday. Sha Carrie this summer, at an earlier

318
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 2: meet ran a ten point seventy one. She has run

319
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 2: this year faster than the woman who just won the

320
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 2: gold medal. Yeah, so Sha Carrie knows she didn't have

321
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 2: her best race because she had better one if that

322
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 2: same time she beat it already this year.

323
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: That's the Olympics. The Olympics, you get a shot and

324
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: sometimes it's just not going to.

325
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 2: Sucks out that it sucks. But congrats to SHAKERI. You

326
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 2: have made us all proud. It has been fun to

327
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 2: watch you and watch you since two thousand and twenty one.

328
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 2: And all that happened to her then, which still some

329
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 2: people are pissed about. That was a travesty, but that's fair.

330
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 2: That sucks.

331
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: I get that, I get that. Some some people had

332
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: a better day yesterday than Shakerry. And his name is

333
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: Ryan Krauser and we watched him do his thing and

334
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: the shot put, and you know what, he has won

335
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: gold in three straight Olympics and that has never been

336
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: done in shotput before. And it was fun. He got

337
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: his gold winning shot at the very end and we

338
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: were all watching, you know, they grunt, they're spinning around

339
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: to watch because you just don't get to see that

340
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: at any other point in any kind of sporting event.

341
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: And he did his thing and it was raining. We

342
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: should mention watching all this track and field events. I

343
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: was impressed because it's one thing to do it on

344
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: dry footing. And I know they have special shoes and

345
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 1: all of that, but that's got to be worrisome when

346
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: you've got, you know, a big heavy shop but you're spinning.

347
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: It's raining watching. But he did it, and it was

348
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: awesome to see him win. It was it was really

349
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: cool moment.

350
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 2: But it's hard to I mean, he the same event

351
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 2: three straight Olympics. He has won gold. That is incredible.

352
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 2: And to see these big guys all look like they're

353
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 2: about to go chop wood.

354
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 1: They look like Vikings, almost like big Vikings, and you'd

355
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: think like, oh, they're just big mudheads. But no, not

356
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: Ryan Krauser. No, he has a master's in finance, a

357
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: bachelor's in economics. I love these fun facts.

358
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 2: He's more than an athlete, and he has studied this.

359
00:17:55,560 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 2: He credits some of his analytical training in school that

360
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 2: has helped him now to craft or to help him

361
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 2: in his craft. And he has other people study him

362
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 2: and his technique, and he has created a whole new

363
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 2: techniques for the spinning and how it does. He talks

364
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 2: about how the body movement necessary. It's INCREDI these aren't

365
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 2: just big dues spin around a circling throwing a sixteen

366
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 2: looks like is not. We need to give them credit

367
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 2: where credit is due. With congrats to him win goal

368
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 2: in the same event in three straight Olympics. That is

369
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 2: extremely rare. That is extremely hard to do. Hold my beer,

370
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 2: says Katie Ledecci. She has now won gold in the

371
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 2: same event in four straight Olympics, the eight hundred meter freestyle,

372
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 2: so she is even one up the Krauser. But this

373
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 2: is another one. You know what felt good about this one?

374
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 2: She beat the Australian.

375
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's your thing. You can't stand it, like if

376
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: we if we lose, if we get second, third, okay,

377
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: as long as the Australians didn't.

378
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 2: Be they've got they have us caught up in this rivalry.

379
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 2: But to see her beat deadmost was great. But this

380
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 2: is the greatness of Katie Lidecki. Once again, every sentence

381
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 2: with her history is included in the sentence when you're

382
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 2: talking about it, So more history here. She's got nine

383
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 2: overall medals and she's still talking about twenty twenty eight.

384
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 2: So I don't think we're done with her Olympic career.

385
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: I love that. Can you imagine just the toll that

386
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: swimming takes on you, what you have to do to

387
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: be at the level they're at, and to potentially go

388
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: and do five Olympics, that is remarkable to me. But

389
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: if anybody can do it.

390
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 2: Katie Lideki fifteen sixteen at that first one.

391
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: I think she was fifteen if I recall, and yeah,

392
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: and she's still at it, and good for her. She

393
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 1: is inspiring women everywhere. I love this because we're watching

394
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: this as you know, washed up over the hill folks,

395
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: but all the young folks who were watching the athletes,

396
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: the future athletes, that these athletes are inspiring is such

397
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: a huge part of this. And I love young girls

398
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: getting to see what's possible and new sporting events getting

399
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: added to the Olympics. It's just cool to give people

400
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 1: and kids' motivation to to do better, to do things,

401
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: to be athletic. I love that.

402
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 2: I didn't hear anything you said after we're all washed up.

403
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 2: We are, though, but no, I'm bean. You do not

404
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 2: speak for me.

405
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, you know what you know we should put.

406
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: You know we're actually recording this and what are we

407
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: about to go do?

408
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 2: Run a half marathon. Us all washed up.

409
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: We're about to run a half marathon. It's six twenty

410
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: seven in the morning here right now, and we we're

411
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: wrapping it up because we get we got to beat

412
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: the heat in the humidity here in New York City.

413
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 2: You're already dressed. I am sitting here in pants and

414
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 2: no shirt to get my running shirt in my lap.

415
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 2: That's the scene.

416
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: So that's true. That's true.

417
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 2: Watching bad midden, three banana and three coffee mugs on

418
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 2: the table. I just want to set the scene.

419
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 1: Well, we we've been sitting on a couch a lot,

420
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: so it'll be good for us to get a little

421
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: work out in. We are training for the Chicago Marathon,

422
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: so we're halfway through. Actually today today is the halfway

423
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: point of us training fun for the Chicago Marathon. And

424
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: I do have to say watching all of these Olympians

425
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: has given me the extra inspiration to continue, because there

426
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: are a lot of days where I just don't feel

427
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: like running, especially when it's hot and humid.

428
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 2: Today are gonna be all right, you good.

429
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: I will get through it, and I honestly like I

430
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 1: will be thinking about all of the incredible athletes I've

431
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: seen over the last few days and it's gonna get

432
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: me going. So that's also a cool thing. I think

433
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: it maybe inspires other people to get up and move

434
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 1: and maybe do a fast walk no run.

435
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 2: Question you always. I wish we could go fine. They

436
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 2: probably do have numbers about if gym memberships increase, you

437
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 2: know they do in January after the holidays. Yeah, but

438
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 2: I wonder in the Olympic time, do they see more

439
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 2: people going to the gym.

440
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: I would think that's very possible. I'm seeing all these

441
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: incredibly fit, fierce women and I'm like, hell, yeah, girl,

442
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 1: and I want to like do what I can to

443
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 1: to just I don't know, fulfill that physical need we

444
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: all have and sometimes we just lose it. We think

445
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: I can't do that, But you know what, you can

446
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 1: do something today. So that's what we're gonna do.

447
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna report back to you. Better have a good run,

448
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 2: because if you don't'm all everybody.

449
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: I don't like pressure. Don't give me pressure. You know

450
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: what who does really well under pressure?

451
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 2: Transition? I don't do that.

452
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: I mean, if only I could be like Simone, uh no,

453
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: she is amazing, and wait, Simone Biles should have DJ

454
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: kalid As her hype man at the Olympics explain this.

455
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 2: See this is what I'm saying. Everybody knows because Simone

456
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 2: just needs to walk around every time she competes. She

457
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 2: just walks in the room and DJ Kalet should be there.

458
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 2: Another one. Oh my, she's going for a metal, another one, gold,

459
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 2: another one. And that's what Simone Biles has done. She's

460
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 2: got another one, another gold medal. And she did this.

461
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 2: This didn't look very difficult. What I mean is it

462
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 2: was never in question. When Simone lands and she smiles,

463
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 2: I know she's gonna win gold because you can tell

464
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 2: there's she knows it and I'm think, okay, she's good.

465
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 1: Well, she makes the most difficult and dangerous vault in

466
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: the world look easy. And yes, the moment she lands, actually,

467
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: as she's landing, when they do it in slow mo,

468
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: you can see when she's coming in for the landing,

469
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: she has a big smile on her face because she

470
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: knows she just nailed it and she knows she's going

471
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,199
Speaker 1: to stick the landing. It's remarkable to watch her do

472
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: what she does. And yes, this vault she performed is

473
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 1: so dangerous and so rare. It's actually named after her.

474
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: It's called the biles too, So she picks.

475
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 2: Up gold in the vault, and you said floor and beam.

476
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 2: She still she.

477
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: Still gets to compete on those two events, so we

478
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: still have more simone biles to watch, which is very exciting.

479
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 2: Right, And a weird scene at the pool, and an

480
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 2: unfortunate one where an American swimmer finishes third in her race,

481
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 2: so that means you win the bronze, right, No, Alex.

482
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 2: After touching the wall and third place, she thinks she

483
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 2: won the bronze. This was a two hundred meters individual medley.

484
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 2: Officials then after a review, disqualified her, saying she did

485
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 2: not complete the backstroke. She did not complete the backstroke

486
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 2: portion of the race. But they're essentially saying, I'm not

487
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 2: sure what you're trying to explain to me here, baby.

488
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: But because I read that she was disqualified for an

489
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: illegal move on the breast turn because she was rotated

490
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: fully onto her stomach before touching.

491
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 2: The wall, we're talking about the same thing here, the backstroke. Yeah,

492
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 2: when you finish that, you turn around and touch the wall.

493
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 2: They're saying she didn't. She turned around too early, so

494
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 2: you're supposed to backstroke all in all the way to

495
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 2: the wall. But they are essentially claiming she got some

496
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 2: kind of advantage because she turned over and didn't complete

497
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 2: and didn't finish the backstroke fully on that lap as

498
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 2: an individual medley, so you have to do the breast,

499
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 2: the butterfly, the back and the free right right, that's

500
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 2: their argument is that in that trend position she didn't

501
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 2: go all the way.

502
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: Oh, that's so said. And then the worst part was

503
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:08,719
Speaker 1: her sister, Gretchen was watching and saw it happen, and

504
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 1: her heart went straight to her sister. But she had

505
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 1: to focus because she's also part of Team USA and

506
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: just you know, not that long after this all happened,

507
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 1: she then had to compete in the four by one

508
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 1: hundred mixed relay team, and so she really said, even

509
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: though her heart was breaking for her sister, she had

510
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: to keep her head focused on her actual match. And

511
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 1: well it worked because Gretchen won gold with her relay team.

512
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: In fact, they set a world record, So congratulations to them.

513
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: So heartbreak for one and gold for the other sister.

514
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 2: She said in that she was in the warm up pool. Yeah,

515
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 2: and she said her sister, she sees her win bronze.

516
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 2: She then just does a little warm up lap and

517
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 2: by the time she comes up and looks her sister

518
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 2: doesn't have bronze anymore. And can you imagine what that family,

519
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 2: that family goes from a goal from this one and

520
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 2: to the disappointment of that one. And that was a

521
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 2: tough moment to see.

522
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, and no one probably knew the heartbreak more than

523
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: Gretchen because she knew what she knows what it's like

524
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: and what work went into that and to see that

525
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: just disappear over you know, rules are the rules, and

526
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 1: they understand that, and I'm sure it was just it

527
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: was a mistake, but it was a costly one.

528
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 2: So yes, it's the Olympics. Boy, can it can hurt sometimes,

529
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 2: can't it? But we do have these other stories in

530
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 2: these moments. And one of the biggest moments of this

531
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 2: Olympics will forever be remembered. Where Stephen Netarozik, who helped

532
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 2: course the US men when the team bronze. He is

533
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 2: a pommel horse specialist and he was robed back at

534
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 2: his specialty yesterday.

535
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: You know, it's so cool. I mean, obviously it's amazing

536
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: to win a team medal and that means so much

537
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: to this group who's been together, working hard, but to

538
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: have an individual medal is also just remarkably special. And

539
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: he was the only member of Team USA, the men's

540
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: gymnastic sticks team, who actually qualified to compete in the

541
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: finals on an individual event, So that in and of

542
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: itself was a cool thing for him, and then for

543
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: him to actually meddle because the pommel horse, we saw

544
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: it in as much of the competition as we've seen,

545
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: threw a lot of guys off. Threw a lot of

546
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: guys off, and it was heartbreaking to watch hands slip off,

547
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: people falling, gymnasts falling off the pommel horse. But man,

548
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: that guy can pommel horse, and it is awesome to

549
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: see him do what he does and just to be

550
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 1: celebrated the way he has.

551
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 2: And that will continue. He will have a heroes welcome

552
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 2: when he comes back to the US. But congrats to Ireland.

553
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 2: I mean, the guy who ends up getting the gold

554
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,479
Speaker 2: in this is the first time Ireland has ever had

555
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 2: a goal in gymnastics.

556
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 1: So I love those stories and just to see, you know,

557
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: the whole country just give a huge collective hugged one person.

558
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: That's really really cool. I love watching those moments.

559
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 2: Well, we're we're watching you didn't like how they put it,

560
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 2: and I loved it. It's very blunt. But there was

561
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 2: an athlete, a commentator was a former olympian, was saying,

562
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 2: my job here is to keep my dream alive, and

563
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: the way to do that is to kill yours.

564
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was That was ruthless. And I understand that

565
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: we are talking.

566
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 2: Everybody there has an Olympic dream, and the only way

567
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 2: yours stays alive you gotta in somebody else's. That is cold, It's.

568
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: Not where my head goes. The truth.

569
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 2: You see this, We're watching bad Midton. One of these

570
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 2: dudes right now is going to kill the other one's

571
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 2: spirit and dream in just a few minutes.

572
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: Wow. I mean that is one way to look at it.

573
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: I guess to focus on the positive for everybody. Oh wow, okay, Nike,

574
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: that's nice. I like that. I mean it is I

575
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta get into the headspace that you need

576
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: to be in to win, and to win you have

577
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: to be ruthless sometimes, but you gotta play by the rules.

578
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: You gotta play by the rules. A nia.

579
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 2: We got to get will to foll on this.

580
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: Oh my god, all right, we are watching of course

581
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: more Olympics Today tennis is a big one. It's happening

582
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: right now as we're recording this men singles gold medal match.

583
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: Of course, Novak Djokovic and Spain's Carlos how do I

584
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: say his last name? Alcoraz Alcoraz top two seeds competing

585
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: for the gold medal. So this is exciting and going

586
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: to be one that everyone's talking about it. It's one

587
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: of the big, big, big gold medal wins.

588
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 2: The oldest guy and the youngest guy ever in the

589
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 2: final yep.

590
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: And our other fun fact that Djokovic is his fourth

591
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: time trying to get his first medal.

592
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 2: He's zero for three in the semis that the.

593
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: But he is in the finals, so this is going

594
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: to be exciting. And the women's doubles medal matches are

595
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: happening as well today. Table tennis always fun to watch,

596
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: but they actually have their finals this morning as well.

597
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: You can probably catch replays of those. Gymnastics, we have

598
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:52,719
Speaker 1: the men's rings final and the men's vold final, but

599
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: no US athletes are going to be in those. As

600
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: we mentioned, Steven Netorozik was the only one who was

601
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: actually able to compete qualified to compete in an individual event.

602
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 2: American.

603
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: I actually have that as a note here. Even though

604
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: there's no Americans competing, it is incredible to watch these men,

605
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: just the best of the best compete on these events.

606
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: So it's so worth watching in my humble opinion. And

607
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: then the women's uneven bars final is today. That's I

608
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: think happening at nine to forty Eastern time. But that's

609
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: Sunissa Lee, Sony Lee, and this is her event, so

610
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: I am really excited. She absolutely is a gold medal contender,

611
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: so that's going to be very fun to watch. This

612
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: is the last day, the final day of swimming events

613
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: in Paris, so that's a big deal. And we've got

614
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: some I think there's a fifty meter freestyle final in

615
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: women's and a four by one hundred medley relay final.

616
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: The men have a fifteen hundred meter freestyle final and

617
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: a four by one hundred medley relay final. So four

618
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: wants to watch there in swimming, and then track and field,

619
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: this one, this one is must we can find out

620
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,760
