WEBVTT - Tea from Paris: Day Nine

0:00:02.120 --> 0:00:06.480
<v Speaker 1>It's Sunday, August fourth, and Team USA is distancing itself

0:00:06.480 --> 0:00:09.600
<v Speaker 1>from the competition in the overall medal count, enjoying its

0:00:09.840 --> 0:00:12.240
<v Speaker 1>largest lead so far of the Paris Olympics A.

0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:15.920
<v Speaker 2>The United States has now won sixty one Olympic medals,

0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:19.720
<v Speaker 2>fourteen of them gold. France now a distant second with

0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:22.919
<v Speaker 2>forty one total medals. China has thirty seven.

0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:25.960
<v Speaker 1>That is impressive and welcome to Amy and TJ. The

0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:29.920
<v Speaker 1>biggest stars for Team USA were in action Saturday, including

0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:33.400
<v Speaker 1>at the track where sprinters were running through a lot

0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:37.559
<v Speaker 1>of rain and there was an unexpected empty lane and

0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:41.080
<v Speaker 1>then an unexpected result. All that drama to crown the

0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:42.400
<v Speaker 1>fastest woman in the world.

0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:47.320
<v Speaker 2>Plus in American swimmer finishes third but doesn't win bronze.

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:51.720
<v Speaker 2>We'll explain. Katie Ladecki keeps making history an American three

0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:54.920
<v Speaker 2>peats as Olympic champion. The palmahorse guy does it again,

0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:57.240
<v Speaker 2>and stop me if you've heard this one. Some mon

0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 2>Biles competes, some mo Biles win goal.

0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's almost an foregone conclusion at this point, at

0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:05.920
<v Speaker 1>least after what we've seen with this Olympics. That's a

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:07.000
<v Speaker 1>pretty cool spot to be in.

0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:09.279
<v Speaker 2>She is three goals in right.

0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Now, Yes, and more to come. I would suspect she's

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:15.880
<v Speaker 1>got what left. She gets to do the floor exercise

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:18.920
<v Speaker 1>and she gets to do the beam. Yeah, she's doing

0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:21.759
<v Speaker 1>two more and so yeah, today we have Sunny Lee

0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:24.920
<v Speaker 1>on the uneven bar. She's the only American competing in

0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:28.280
<v Speaker 1>that event. Finals. But yeah, a lot more simone to

0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.319
<v Speaker 1>com which is always good for those of us.

0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:34.319
<v Speaker 2>Watching and those of us those who have been listening

0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:36.399
<v Speaker 2>to us here. You know, oftentimes we are recording when

0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:39.880
<v Speaker 2>we're watching events live. So we got live Bad Midton

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 2>going this morning and again Robes every morning. You were

0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:45.959
<v Speaker 2>up with me for the most part all morning this morning.

0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.640
<v Speaker 2>But I usually have some story for you, But the

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 2>one today would have been and you saw it happen

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 2>the women's semi final of Bad Midton. Now, most of

0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 2>the folks listening to my voice wouldn't make that appointment

0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 2>viewing necessarily.

0:01:58.120 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>I know that I wouldn't have otherwise.

0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:06.040
<v Speaker 2>But you saw one of those just heartbreaking Olympic moments,

0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 2>one we didn't even know from Spain Carolina Maren. She

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:13.320
<v Speaker 2>is up in her match, has to retire because she

0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:14.240
<v Speaker 2>has a knee injury.

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:17.440
<v Speaker 1>She retired in the middle of the match. And this

0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:21.359
<v Speaker 1>is Rio's gold medalist, So this is somebody who has

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:25.080
<v Speaker 1>had a storied and incredible run at the Olympics, and

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.920
<v Speaker 1>to see it all fall apart in the middle of

0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:29.440
<v Speaker 1>the match was devastating.

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.040
<v Speaker 2>Up one set and up in the second set, so

0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 2>she was kind of on her way, maybe going to

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 2>another final.

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.440
<v Speaker 1>They were saying she was cruising to a gold medal,

0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 1>That's what some of the analysts were saying.

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 2>But to see her on her knees screaming, not I

0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:42.320
<v Speaker 2>don't even know. I don't think that was in pain.

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 2>She was screaming just an agony of what she knows.

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 2>She couldn't continue. To see an athlete that knows they

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.680
<v Speaker 2>can't keep going, you know, she would have given anything,

0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:54.519
<v Speaker 2>so you know she had to be injured.

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:57.919
<v Speaker 1>Gives me chills in the worst ways. She was punching

0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:02.280
<v Speaker 1>the ground in just utter frustration, devastation. So just it's

0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 1>it was excruciating to watch. She's had an amazing Olympic run,

0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:09.079
<v Speaker 1>but it's hard to see it all happen, actually see

0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 1>it end on live television, and that's exactly what just happened.

0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 2>But again, some of the other Olympic moments. We'll have

0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:17.440
<v Speaker 2>this for folks later, but we just had a really

0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.520
<v Speaker 2>good time talking to a couple of Olympians who are

0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:22.960
<v Speaker 2>going to be competing in coming days. They're Olympians who

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:26.160
<v Speaker 2>some even question if they're Olympians and should even be

0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.839
<v Speaker 2>walking around Olympic village, like what are you doing here, kid?

0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 2>But it was cool to talk to these guys.

0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we talked to the park skateboarders from southern California

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:36.600
<v Speaker 1>and they are, man. You know, you get a stereotype

0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 1>of a skateboarder from southern California, will they fit it.

0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 1>They they're chill, they're cool, and they're they're just kind

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 1>of off being there, don't really care so much about

0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:50.920
<v Speaker 1>getting the medal, just enjoying the experience, man, because this

0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:52.840
<v Speaker 1>is what they love. It was it was fun. We

0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:54.440
<v Speaker 1>can't wait to share that with you a little bit.

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:58.280
<v Speaker 1>They compete next week, and these guys we talked to,

0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:02.680
<v Speaker 1>they are the best, the best, including his seventeen year

0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:04.760
<v Speaker 1>old world the world champion, the.

0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:06.320
<v Speaker 2>Number one rank. That's seventeen years old.

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh he is chill, just chill, like so chill, Colin

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 1>jo just chilling. Now back at home.

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:14.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, I guess he's made it back. This was a

0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:17.680
<v Speaker 2>weird one. Here was a he had the assignment in Tahiti,

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.719
<v Speaker 2>which was a great assignment. He was the roving reporter

0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:24.840
<v Speaker 2>for the coverage of the surfing there in Tahiti. And

0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:26.760
<v Speaker 2>I guess a lot of people go to Tahiti and

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 2>they're known for their coral.

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, coral to look at, not coral to step on.

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:34.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, his foot looks like he went dancing on it.

0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:37.080
<v Speaker 2>But Colin is gone already, right.

0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So he he'd made, of course, the funny man

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.279
<v Speaker 1>that he is making jokes about the fact that he

0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:45.839
<v Speaker 1>had already been injured more than any Olympian and had

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:49.719
<v Speaker 1>visited the medical tent more often than any other actual athlete,

0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:53.880
<v Speaker 1>because he yes, he ripped up his toes pretty badly

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.320
<v Speaker 1>on the coral. And then the bad part is then

0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:58.880
<v Speaker 1>he got an infection and I think they even said

0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 1>it was a staff and which can be very serious.

0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:03.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean it can actually be deadly. And then he

0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:05.440
<v Speaker 1>got an ear infection I think on top of that.

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:07.760
<v Speaker 1>So he was joking that his feet and his head

0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:09.919
<v Speaker 1>couldn't go on the water, but he was not opposed

0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.160
<v Speaker 1>to getting his torso wet so, I mean, he tried

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:13.840
<v Speaker 1>to make all the jokes he could about it, but

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.640
<v Speaker 1>it actually got so serious they had to sent him

0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:17.280
<v Speaker 1>back home.

0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:20.719
<v Speaker 2>And he did. He's been reporting with his no shoes on.

0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:25.240
<v Speaker 2>Whether that's a good idea or not, who knows.

0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:26.359
<v Speaker 1>But it turns out I don't think it was a

0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:28.719
<v Speaker 1>good I think if he could go back, he probably

0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.320
<v Speaker 1>would have worn reef shoes or something to that effect.

0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:33.279
<v Speaker 2>But we can smile about a little bit only because the

0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:36.320
<v Speaker 2>funny man, the SNL guy, is still making jokes about it.

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:38.320
<v Speaker 2>We will stay on top but that and get an update.

0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully he's fine. Sure he's uncomfortable, but hopefully he'll be

0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:41.960
<v Speaker 2>all right.

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we will wish him the very best. But he

0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:45.760
<v Speaker 1>still had a big smile on his face. As long

0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:47.000
<v Speaker 1>as he's laughing, we can too.

0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 2>I guess we had some smiles and some tears yesterday.

0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.000
<v Speaker 2>This was appointment viewing for us yesterday as well. It's

0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:53.920
<v Speaker 2>kind of been one of the biggest stories of the Olympics.

0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:59.720
<v Speaker 1>That's right. It was an emotional victory for Algery and

0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.359
<v Speaker 1>Bachman Clive. We've been talking about this story for the

0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 1>past several days, but this victory in the ring guarantees

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:09.279
<v Speaker 1>her a medal, which is incredible. But she's been fighting

0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 1>perhaps an even bigger battle outside of the ring, a

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:17.640
<v Speaker 1>battle of misinformation, online abuse, and this is all over

0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:22.320
<v Speaker 1>people questioning her gender eligibility. And you know, her father

0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:25.400
<v Speaker 1>even had to get involved and he was providing proof

0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:27.920
<v Speaker 1>of her birth certificate that she was born a female,

0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:30.320
<v Speaker 1>that she is a female. And so this has just

0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:34.320
<v Speaker 1>been a tough battle for her. But she beat Hungary's

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Anna Lusa Hamori, who, by the way, contributed to some

0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:39.600
<v Speaker 1>of that social media I'll call it scrutiny, but others

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:45.680
<v Speaker 1>would say abuse or bullying. Uh. She essentially compared her

0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:47.760
<v Speaker 1>to a beast in the ring and a lot of

0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.160
<v Speaker 1>people calling her a person and not a female. I mean,

0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:53.200
<v Speaker 1>just really tough stuff. So now she has to go

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:55.520
<v Speaker 1>into the ring with this woman who has contributed to

0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:59.359
<v Speaker 1>some of this discord in the quarterfinals of the women's

0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:01.400
<v Speaker 1>sixty six kilogram match. I think is what it's called

0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:04.840
<v Speaker 1>is it worth? What is it called? Weatherweight? Uh? Wilter wait,

0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:06.039
<v Speaker 1>I knew I was gonna get it wrong. You kno'd

0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:08.320
<v Speaker 1>begin with a W. But this means at least that

0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:11.240
<v Speaker 1>Khalif will She's guaranteed a bronze medal and she's advancing

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.760
<v Speaker 1>to the semi finals. But we watched and waited for fire,

0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:15.320
<v Speaker 1>us like what are these two women going to do

0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.000
<v Speaker 1>in the ring when they finally meet. But you know what,

0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:21.680
<v Speaker 1>it was a clean and fair fight, and I was

0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:25.440
<v Speaker 1>heartened to see that despite what was happening outside of

0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:28.440
<v Speaker 1>the ring, both women were civil. They showed sportsmen like

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.800
<v Speaker 1>behavior towards one another. And you know, Khalif was the

0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:34.320
<v Speaker 1>better boxer, and the judges agreed so like by far

0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:37.240
<v Speaker 1>was it wasn't even close. And when they lifted up

0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:41.360
<v Speaker 1>her hand, it wasn't until after she left the ring

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:44.720
<v Speaker 1>and was walking away that the emotion of the wind

0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:48.960
<v Speaker 1>and I would imagine the past few days just washed

0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:50.720
<v Speaker 1>over her and we saw her not just cry, but

0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:54.560
<v Speaker 1>she sobbed and and I just in that moment, you know,

0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:58.360
<v Speaker 1>we can all talk about stories and kind of almost

0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:01.720
<v Speaker 1>clinically talk about them or have an opinion, but you

0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.440
<v Speaker 1>really saw the human impact in that moment. It just

0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:07.239
<v Speaker 1>it all came over her. I got tears in my eyes.

0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Our daughters were watching. I know Ava got tears in

0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.760
<v Speaker 1>her eyes. We had chills just thinking what this poor

0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:15.920
<v Speaker 1>woman has been through at the same time trying to

0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.760
<v Speaker 1>win an Olympic medal. I mean this is her second Olympics.

0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Aside from if you throw out all the controversy, you

0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:24.760
<v Speaker 2>throw everything, none of that, none of that ever happened.

0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:28.040
<v Speaker 2>This is a person who's been fighting for since she

0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.280
<v Speaker 2>was a kid. And in that moment she got out

0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.360
<v Speaker 2>of the ring, she just realized she just won an

0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Olympic medal. Yeah, you would cry over that anyway, given

0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.800
<v Speaker 2>all you've gone through and sacrifice, to think of everything

0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:40.960
<v Speaker 2>on top of that, I can't imagine what that emotional

0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:42.719
<v Speaker 2>release was in that moment. I guess we kind of

0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:43.319
<v Speaker 2>saw someone.

0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.520
<v Speaker 1>And you know, it was so cool. I get since

0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:49.200
<v Speaker 1>reliving it watching it, seeing that crowd cheering her on,

0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 1>supporting her.

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:52.120
<v Speaker 2>And that's not just Algerians.

0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:54.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, everybody in that crowd was cheering her on. And

0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.960
<v Speaker 1>I hope she feels that love and that supporters she

0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.200
<v Speaker 1>goes on to the semifinals now, and good for her

0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.400
<v Speaker 1>because even her father said, because he just said, this

0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:05.480
<v Speaker 1>is immoral, this is unfair, and I hope she wins

0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:07.560
<v Speaker 1>the gold and I think a lot of people will

0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:09.480
<v Speaker 1>be rooting for her for a lot of different reasons

0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:13.920
<v Speaker 1>because she is beyond all of this, an exceptional boxer.

0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:17.320
<v Speaker 1>And the IOC president Thomas Boch I think we've all

0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.559
<v Speaker 1>seen him over the years, so I'm at opening ceremonies.

0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:22.720
<v Speaker 1>He spoke out yesterday. He finally wanted to put this

0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:25.760
<v Speaker 1>to rest, but he defended Khalif, saying, what is going

0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:29.160
<v Speaker 1>on in this context in the social media, with all

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:31.720
<v Speaker 1>of this hate speech, with all of this aggression and

0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:36.760
<v Speaker 1>abuse and fueled by this agenda, he said, is totally unacceptable,

0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:40.040
<v Speaker 1>and he said she should not be questioned further. She

0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:43.000
<v Speaker 1>is absolutely eligible to compete, and he really wanted to

0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:45.600
<v Speaker 1>put a rest to this, and we can only hope

0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.280
<v Speaker 1>that will be the case. Khalif will face Taiwanese boxer

0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:51.800
<v Speaker 1>in the semi finals that happens on Tuesday, and we

0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:52.520
<v Speaker 1>will be watching.

0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I hope this is done. I appreciate the IOC.

0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean, what else is there to be said about it? Yeah,

0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:09.800
<v Speaker 2>it's done. Yep, letter fight. Well, the fastest woman in

0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:14.319
<v Speaker 2>the world this year will not have the title of

0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:18.000
<v Speaker 2>fastest woman in the world. All right, let's explain here

0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:20.320
<v Speaker 2>we Yesterday was the day track and field is one

0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:24.680
<v Speaker 2>of the highlight events the one hundred meter now by

0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:29.719
<v Speaker 2>most accounts and most guesses and most betting lines, she

0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:34.280
<v Speaker 2>Carrie Richardson. This was her race to lose. I suppose

0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:37.400
<v Speaker 2>because she has been the fastest woman in the world,

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.719
<v Speaker 2>currently has that title because she's run the fastest time

0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:43.800
<v Speaker 2>in the world this year. However, she struggled a little bit.

0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:46.480
<v Speaker 2>We saw her in her prelium. She actually lost in

0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:51.240
<v Speaker 2>her early round to Julian Alfred of Saint Lucia, and

0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:53.120
<v Speaker 2>it looked like and rose we were watching like she

0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:56.479
<v Speaker 2>was laboring a little bit to finish, just to qualify

0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:58.160
<v Speaker 2>for the next round. And then a lot of people

0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:01.160
<v Speaker 2>kind of scratch their heads, Well, she'll get it together

0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:05.960
<v Speaker 2>in the final final comes around. Sure enough, Sha Carrie

0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:09.800
<v Speaker 2>comes in second to the same woman that beat her

0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.920
<v Speaker 2>in the early round, Julian Alfred of Saint Lucia. The

0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:16.839
<v Speaker 2>cool part about that story is Saint Lucia, the pitons

0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:17.600
<v Speaker 2>that we love there.

0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.000
<v Speaker 1>I love those mountains, Oh.

0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:23.040
<v Speaker 2>My goodness, we love We both spent time on that island.

0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:26.600
<v Speaker 2>This is their first gold medal ever in the history

0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:27.280
<v Speaker 2>of that island.

0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Congratulate you know what, And she earned it. She was

0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:36.080
<v Speaker 1>amazing to watch run. And you know, I guess I

0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:38.560
<v Speaker 1>just didn't realize Sha Carrie is five to one. I

0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:40.360
<v Speaker 1>had to look it up. And you know, just to

0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:42.800
<v Speaker 1>think she does what she does with her body in

0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:45.240
<v Speaker 1>this speed at which she does it with given the

0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:48.320
<v Speaker 1>fact that from a stature standpoint, she's at a disadvantage

0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 1>shorter legs, longer legs, I imagine that has to be

0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:54.520
<v Speaker 1>a part of it, the physicality of doing what they do.

0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.600
<v Speaker 1>But you know, everybody raised their heart out and it

0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:01.840
<v Speaker 1>was it was a beautiful thing to watch Julian celebrator,

0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:04.800
<v Speaker 1>oh yeah, with her family and her supporters, and I

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.240
<v Speaker 1>believe it was her coach in the stance, just the tears,

0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:10.840
<v Speaker 1>the joy, and it was because it was unexpected. No

0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:13.880
<v Speaker 1>one I didn't her name wasn't on any radar that.

0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.960
<v Speaker 2>I saw, at least to that point. The three women

0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:19.120
<v Speaker 2>who were on the podium for one hundred meter in

0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:23.199
<v Speaker 2>the last Olympics, it's Tokyo. We're all three Jamaican women.

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:27.720
<v Speaker 2>All three of those women were not in this final.

0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:31.280
<v Speaker 2>Two of them didn't qualify, and then one of them

0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:35.720
<v Speaker 2>dropped out unexpectedly. Shelley Fraser Price. She has won two

0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:39.600
<v Speaker 2>Olympic gold medals in the one hundred meter and right

0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.160
<v Speaker 2>before her race and the semi she dropped out. Everybody's like,

0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:44.640
<v Speaker 2>what's going on, and it's some injury that hasn't been

0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:46.720
<v Speaker 2>I haven't seen it fully explained anywhere yet.

0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:50.600
<v Speaker 1>We just saw the letters d NS did not start

0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:54.280
<v Speaker 1>that was flashed on the scoreboard just moments before she

0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:57.400
<v Speaker 1>was supposed to race, Shakerri and Julian and all the others,

0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:01.280
<v Speaker 1>and so they literally said there's an empty lane, and

0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:04.960
<v Speaker 1>really no explanation was offered. We got the explanation later

0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:08.559
<v Speaker 1>that it was an undisclosed injury, but it remains undisclosed

0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:10.920
<v Speaker 1>as of this recording.

0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:13.320
<v Speaker 2>But given I mean, given her history, this is her

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:15.920
<v Speaker 2>fifth Olympics against she won back to back gold medals

0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:17.880
<v Speaker 2>in this event, we know it had to be serious

0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:19.559
<v Speaker 2>because we know she wanted to be out there running.

0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.240
<v Speaker 2>But we set it up that way Rose because given

0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:25.760
<v Speaker 2>that those three Jamaicans were out of the final, Sha

0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.439
<v Speaker 2>Carry it looked even better for her right to win

0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:32.440
<v Speaker 2>the gold. But sure enough, Julian Alfred, it looked like

0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Sha Carry got didn't get off the blocks very well.

0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:38.920
<v Speaker 2>It was a slow start for her and she was

0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:41.600
<v Speaker 2>struggling just to get back to that second place, that

0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:45.800
<v Speaker 2>silver medal position. She did, but we have to what

0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:48.000
<v Speaker 2>do you do here? Robes And this is not a failure,

0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:50.760
<v Speaker 2>but to some it will seem a bit of a

0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:54.040
<v Speaker 2>disappointment because she was expected given what happened with Tokyo,

0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.079
<v Speaker 2>and we've been waiting for her to have her Olympic moment.

0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:00.240
<v Speaker 2>It the expectations was so high.

0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:02.320
<v Speaker 1>If that was what I was just going to say,

0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:05.760
<v Speaker 1>I cannot imagine the pressure of going into the Olympics

0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:10.440
<v Speaker 1>and it's it's your entire country is expecting you to

0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:14.520
<v Speaker 1>win gold. These sponsors who has sponsored you, expect you

0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:18.160
<v Speaker 1>to be the gold medalist. They have poured I can't

0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.480
<v Speaker 1>imagine how much money into you with all like she's

0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:23.160
<v Speaker 1>in every commercial you see.

0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:26.360
<v Speaker 2>So Loan Sha carry who else? Who are bigger faces

0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:28.560
<v Speaker 2>for the United States and the Olympics. Even every time

0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:30.640
<v Speaker 2>you turn on the TV you see those two faces.

0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:31.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, who else would it be?

0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:34.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's non stop. Noah Lyles perhaps a little

0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.720
<v Speaker 1>bit too, you know, he's not as.

0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Lone the commercials and whatnot. Sydney the hurdler maybe, but.

0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:47.160
<v Speaker 1>No, You're coming into these games and it's your first

0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Olympic Games. You know what happened. You got disqualified from Tokyo,

0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.440
<v Speaker 1>so you feel that pressure and now it's your moment.

0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:59.160
<v Speaker 1>All these years everyone's been waiting. That is I can't imagine.

0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:02.520
<v Speaker 1>So to have gotten silver is still a phenomenal feat

0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.080
<v Speaker 1>for obviously, you saw how incredible those women were. They

0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:08.480
<v Speaker 1>are like the best of the best, and she got

0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:11.000
<v Speaker 1>a silver medal. But I know that's not what people

0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:13.360
<v Speaker 1>are expecting. So you hate to think that getting a medal,

0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:16.000
<v Speaker 1>and especially a silver medal, is a disappointment, but in

0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:16.640
<v Speaker 1>this case it was.

0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:19.640
<v Speaker 2>And this is the this is the This thing's even

0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:22.520
<v Speaker 2>more I said, the fastest woman in the world does

0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:24.840
<v Speaker 2>not have the title the fastest woman in the world. Obviously,

0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.320
<v Speaker 2>whoever wins thee hundred met at the Olympics, you are

0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:29.400
<v Speaker 2>the fastest woman in the world. You keep that title

0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:33.480
<v Speaker 2>until the next time around. So Alfred, Julian Alfred, who

0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.840
<v Speaker 2>won the gold medal yesterday, ran the one hundred meter

0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:40.440
<v Speaker 2>in ten point seven to two seconds. That was the

0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:46.240
<v Speaker 2>winning time yesterday. Sha Carrie this summer, at an earlier

0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:50.240
<v Speaker 2>meet ran a ten point seventy one. She has run

0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:54.200
<v Speaker 2>this year faster than the woman who just won the

0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:57.880
<v Speaker 2>gold medal. Yeah, so Sha Carrie knows she didn't have

0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:01.240
<v Speaker 2>her best race because she had better one if that

0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:03.920
<v Speaker 2>same time she beat it already this year.

0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:07.560
<v Speaker 1>That's the Olympics. The Olympics, you get a shot and

0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:09.480
<v Speaker 1>sometimes it's just not going to.

0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:12.160
<v Speaker 2>Sucks out that it sucks. But congrats to SHAKERI. You

0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:13.720
<v Speaker 2>have made us all proud. It has been fun to

0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:17.280
<v Speaker 2>watch you and watch you since two thousand and twenty one.

0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:19.920
<v Speaker 2>And all that happened to her then, which still some

0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.720
<v Speaker 2>people are pissed about. That was a travesty, but that's fair.

0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:23.160
<v Speaker 2>That sucks.

0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:26.040
<v Speaker 1>I get that, I get that. Some some people had

0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.880
<v Speaker 1>a better day yesterday than Shakerry. And his name is

0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Krauser and we watched him do his thing and

0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:36.800
<v Speaker 1>the shot put, and you know what, he has won

0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:40.680
<v Speaker 1>gold in three straight Olympics and that has never been

0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.760
<v Speaker 1>done in shotput before. And it was fun. He got

0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:48.600
<v Speaker 1>his gold winning shot at the very end and we

0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:52.160
<v Speaker 1>were all watching, you know, they grunt, they're spinning around

0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.320
<v Speaker 1>to watch because you just don't get to see that

0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:59.960
<v Speaker 1>at any other point in any kind of sporting event.

0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:02.680
<v Speaker 1>And he did his thing and it was raining. We

0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:06.000
<v Speaker 1>should mention watching all this track and field events. I

0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:07.960
<v Speaker 1>was impressed because it's one thing to do it on

0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:11.320
<v Speaker 1>dry footing. And I know they have special shoes and

0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:14.639
<v Speaker 1>all of that, but that's got to be worrisome when

0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:17.520
<v Speaker 1>you've got, you know, a big heavy shop but you're spinning.

0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:22.480
<v Speaker 1>It's raining watching. But he did it, and it was

0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:24.680
<v Speaker 1>awesome to see him win. It was it was really

0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:25.160
<v Speaker 1>cool moment.

0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:27.359
<v Speaker 2>But it's hard to I mean, he the same event

0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:32.080
<v Speaker 2>three straight Olympics. He has won gold. That is incredible.

0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:34.200
<v Speaker 2>And to see these big guys all look like they're

0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:35.280
<v Speaker 2>about to go chop wood.

0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:41.360
<v Speaker 1>They look like Vikings, almost like big Vikings, and you'd

0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:44.399
<v Speaker 1>think like, oh, they're just big mudheads. But no, not

0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:49.040
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Krauser. No, he has a master's in finance, a

0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:53.000
<v Speaker 1>bachelor's in economics. I love these fun facts.

0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:55.439
<v Speaker 2>He's more than an athlete, and he has studied this.

0:17:55.560 --> 0:18:00.359
<v Speaker 2>He credits some of his analytical training in school that

0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:04.280
<v Speaker 2>has helped him now to craft or to help him

0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:06.880
<v Speaker 2>in his craft. And he has other people study him

0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:09.399
<v Speaker 2>and his technique, and he has created a whole new

0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:11.840
<v Speaker 2>techniques for the spinning and how it does. He talks

0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:15.200
<v Speaker 2>about how the body movement necessary. It's INCREDI these aren't

0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:17.200
<v Speaker 2>just big dues spin around a circling throwing a sixteen

0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:20.440
<v Speaker 2>looks like is not. We need to give them credit

0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:22.920
<v Speaker 2>where credit is due. With congrats to him win goal

0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:27.000
<v Speaker 2>in the same event in three straight Olympics. That is

0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:32.000
<v Speaker 2>extremely rare. That is extremely hard to do. Hold my beer,

0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:35.760
<v Speaker 2>says Katie Ledecci. She has now won gold in the

0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:41.520
<v Speaker 2>same event in four straight Olympics, the eight hundred meter freestyle,

0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:44.720
<v Speaker 2>so she is even one up the Krauser. But this

0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:47.159
<v Speaker 2>is another one. You know what felt good about this one?

0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:48.480
<v Speaker 2>She beat the Australian.

0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's your thing. You can't stand it, like if

0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:53.960
<v Speaker 1>we if we lose, if we get second, third, okay,

0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:55.840
<v Speaker 1>as long as the Australians didn't.

0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:59.640
<v Speaker 2>Be they've got they have us caught up in this rivalry.

0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:01.960
<v Speaker 2>But to see her beat deadmost was great. But this

0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:05.240
<v Speaker 2>is the greatness of Katie Lidecki. Once again, every sentence

0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:08.639
<v Speaker 2>with her history is included in the sentence when you're

0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:10.680
<v Speaker 2>talking about it, So more history here. She's got nine

0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:13.960
<v Speaker 2>overall medals and she's still talking about twenty twenty eight.

0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:15.880
<v Speaker 2>So I don't think we're done with her Olympic career.

0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:19.080
<v Speaker 1>I love that. Can you imagine just the toll that

0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:20.760
<v Speaker 1>swimming takes on you, what you have to do to

0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:23.480
<v Speaker 1>be at the level they're at, and to potentially go

0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:26.800
<v Speaker 1>and do five Olympics, that is remarkable to me. But

0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:27.800
<v Speaker 1>if anybody can do it.

0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Katie Lideki fifteen sixteen at that first one.

0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:33.760
<v Speaker 1>I think she was fifteen if I recall, and yeah,

0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:35.639
<v Speaker 1>and she's still at it, and good for her. She

0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:39.200
<v Speaker 1>is inspiring women everywhere. I love this because we're watching

0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:41.359
<v Speaker 1>this as you know, washed up over the hill folks,

0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:45.040
<v Speaker 1>but all the young folks who were watching the athletes,

0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:47.600
<v Speaker 1>the future athletes, that these athletes are inspiring is such

0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:50.280
<v Speaker 1>a huge part of this. And I love young girls

0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:54.480
<v Speaker 1>getting to see what's possible and new sporting events getting

0:19:54.520 --> 0:19:57.240
<v Speaker 1>added to the Olympics. It's just cool to give people

0:19:57.680 --> 0:20:01.439
<v Speaker 1>and kids' motivation to to do better, to do things,

0:20:01.440 --> 0:20:03.280
<v Speaker 1>to be athletic. I love that.

0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:06.320
<v Speaker 2>I didn't hear anything you said after we're all washed up.

0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:09.159
<v Speaker 2>We are, though, but no, I'm bean. You do not

0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:09.679
<v Speaker 2>speak for me.

0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay, okay, you know what you know we should put.

0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:14.639
<v Speaker 1>You know we're actually recording this and what are we

0:20:14.680 --> 0:20:15.320
<v Speaker 1>about to go do?

0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:18.439
<v Speaker 2>Run a half marathon. Us all washed up.

0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:20.960
<v Speaker 1>We're about to run a half marathon. It's six twenty

0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:23.080
<v Speaker 1>seven in the morning here right now, and we we're

0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:24.760
<v Speaker 1>wrapping it up because we get we got to beat

0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:26.560
<v Speaker 1>the heat in the humidity here in New York City.

0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:29.439
<v Speaker 2>You're already dressed. I am sitting here in pants and

0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:31.400
<v Speaker 2>no shirt to get my running shirt in my lap.

0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:32.360
<v Speaker 2>That's the scene.

0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:33.840
<v Speaker 1>So that's true. That's true.

0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:37.439
<v Speaker 2>Watching bad midden, three banana and three coffee mugs on

0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:39.919
<v Speaker 2>the table. I just want to set the scene.

0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, we we've been sitting on a couch a lot,

0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:43.600
<v Speaker 1>so it'll be good for us to get a little

0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:46.000
<v Speaker 1>work out in. We are training for the Chicago Marathon,

0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:49.280
<v Speaker 1>so we're halfway through. Actually today today is the halfway

0:20:49.320 --> 0:20:53.639
<v Speaker 1>point of us training fun for the Chicago Marathon. And

0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:55.960
<v Speaker 1>I do have to say watching all of these Olympians

0:20:56.400 --> 0:21:01.600
<v Speaker 1>has given me the extra inspiration to continue, because there

0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:04.280
<v Speaker 1>are a lot of days where I just don't feel

0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:06.480
<v Speaker 1>like running, especially when it's hot and humid.

0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Today are gonna be all right, you good.

0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:10.879
<v Speaker 1>I will get through it, and I honestly like I

0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:14.120
<v Speaker 1>will be thinking about all of the incredible athletes I've

0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:15.880
<v Speaker 1>seen over the last few days and it's gonna get

0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:18.080
<v Speaker 1>me going. So that's also a cool thing. I think

0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:20.280
<v Speaker 1>it maybe inspires other people to get up and move

0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:22.439
<v Speaker 1>and maybe do a fast walk no run.

0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:25.440
<v Speaker 2>Question you always. I wish we could go fine. They

0:21:25.440 --> 0:21:28.879
<v Speaker 2>probably do have numbers about if gym memberships increase, you

0:21:28.880 --> 0:21:31.159
<v Speaker 2>know they do in January after the holidays. Yeah, but

0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:33.480
<v Speaker 2>I wonder in the Olympic time, do they see more

0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:35.359
<v Speaker 2>people going to the gym.

0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:38.480
<v Speaker 1>I would think that's very possible. I'm seeing all these

0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:42.720
<v Speaker 1>incredibly fit, fierce women and I'm like, hell, yeah, girl,

0:21:42.840 --> 0:21:46.880
<v Speaker 1>and I want to like do what I can to

0:21:46.520 --> 0:21:50.679
<v Speaker 1>to just I don't know, fulfill that physical need we

0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:52.639
<v Speaker 1>all have and sometimes we just lose it. We think

0:21:52.840 --> 0:21:54.560
<v Speaker 1>I can't do that, But you know what, you can

0:21:54.640 --> 0:21:56.439
<v Speaker 1>do something today. So that's what we're gonna do.

0:21:57.160 --> 0:21:59.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna report back to you. Better have a good run,

0:21:59.080 --> 0:22:00.680
<v Speaker 2>because if you don't'm all everybody.

0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't like pressure. Don't give me pressure. You know

0:22:13.600 --> 0:22:16.080
<v Speaker 1>what who does really well under pressure?

0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:20.320
<v Speaker 2>Transition? I don't do that.

0:22:20.520 --> 0:22:23.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if only I could be like Simone, uh no,

0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:28.600
<v Speaker 1>she is amazing, and wait, Simone Biles should have DJ

0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:32.080
<v Speaker 1>kalid As her hype man at the Olympics explain this.

0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:34.680
<v Speaker 2>See this is what I'm saying. Everybody knows because Simone

0:22:34.760 --> 0:22:38.159
<v Speaker 2>just needs to walk around every time she competes. She

0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:40.680
<v Speaker 2>just walks in the room and DJ Kalet should be there.

0:22:41.119 --> 0:22:47.440
<v Speaker 2>Another one. Oh my, she's going for a metal, another one, gold,

0:22:47.920 --> 0:22:50.560
<v Speaker 2>another one. And that's what Simone Biles has done. She's

0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:54.080
<v Speaker 2>got another one, another gold medal. And she did this.

0:22:54.080 --> 0:22:58.920
<v Speaker 2>This didn't look very difficult. What I mean is it

0:22:59.280 --> 0:23:02.920
<v Speaker 2>was never in question. When Simone lands and she smiles,

0:23:03.000 --> 0:23:04.560
<v Speaker 2>I know she's gonna win gold because you can tell

0:23:04.600 --> 0:23:06.920
<v Speaker 2>there's she knows it and I'm think, okay, she's good.

0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:10.679
<v Speaker 1>Well, she makes the most difficult and dangerous vault in

0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:15.840
<v Speaker 1>the world look easy. And yes, the moment she lands, actually,

0:23:16.080 --> 0:23:17.680
<v Speaker 1>as she's landing, when they do it in slow mo,

0:23:17.840 --> 0:23:19.760
<v Speaker 1>you can see when she's coming in for the landing,

0:23:20.080 --> 0:23:22.320
<v Speaker 1>she has a big smile on her face because she

0:23:22.520 --> 0:23:25.720
<v Speaker 1>knows she just nailed it and she knows she's going

0:23:25.800 --> 0:23:28.199
<v Speaker 1>to stick the landing. It's remarkable to watch her do

0:23:28.280 --> 0:23:31.240
<v Speaker 1>what she does. And yes, this vault she performed is

0:23:31.600 --> 0:23:35.440
<v Speaker 1>so dangerous and so rare. It's actually named after her.

0:23:35.640 --> 0:23:38.840
<v Speaker 1>It's called the biles too, So she picks.

0:23:38.720 --> 0:23:42.159
<v Speaker 2>Up gold in the vault, and you said floor and beam.

0:23:42.280 --> 0:23:43.320
<v Speaker 2>She still she.

0:23:43.200 --> 0:23:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Still gets to compete on those two events, so we

0:23:45.000 --> 0:23:47.600
<v Speaker 1>still have more simone biles to watch, which is very exciting.

0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:49.159
<v Speaker 2>Right, And a weird scene at the pool, and an

0:23:49.280 --> 0:23:55.000
<v Speaker 2>unfortunate one where an American swimmer finishes third in her race,

0:23:55.359 --> 0:23:59.840
<v Speaker 2>so that means you win the bronze, right, No, Alex.

0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:03.560
<v Speaker 2>After touching the wall and third place, she thinks she

0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:06.399
<v Speaker 2>won the bronze. This was a two hundred meters individual medley.

0:24:06.720 --> 0:24:10.920
<v Speaker 2>Officials then after a review, disqualified her, saying she did

0:24:11.000 --> 0:24:17.080
<v Speaker 2>not complete the backstroke. She did not complete the backstroke

0:24:17.960 --> 0:24:20.440
<v Speaker 2>portion of the race. But they're essentially saying, I'm not

0:24:20.440 --> 0:24:22.000
<v Speaker 2>sure what you're trying to explain to me here, baby.

0:24:21.880 --> 0:24:24.520
<v Speaker 1>But because I read that she was disqualified for an

0:24:24.520 --> 0:24:28.520
<v Speaker 1>illegal move on the breast turn because she was rotated

0:24:28.520 --> 0:24:31.240
<v Speaker 1>fully onto her stomach before touching.

0:24:30.880 --> 0:24:34.359
<v Speaker 2>The wall, we're talking about the same thing here, the backstroke. Yeah,

0:24:34.520 --> 0:24:36.399
<v Speaker 2>when you finish that, you turn around and touch the wall.

0:24:36.440 --> 0:24:39.480
<v Speaker 2>They're saying she didn't. She turned around too early, so

0:24:39.720 --> 0:24:42.000
<v Speaker 2>you're supposed to backstroke all in all the way to

0:24:42.080 --> 0:24:46.199
<v Speaker 2>the wall. But they are essentially claiming she got some

0:24:46.320 --> 0:24:49.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of advantage because she turned over and didn't complete

0:24:49.440 --> 0:24:52.879
<v Speaker 2>and didn't finish the backstroke fully on that lap as

0:24:52.920 --> 0:24:55.680
<v Speaker 2>an individual medley, so you have to do the breast,

0:24:55.800 --> 0:24:58.400
<v Speaker 2>the butterfly, the back and the free right right, that's

0:24:58.440 --> 0:25:00.879
<v Speaker 2>their argument is that in that trend position she didn't

0:25:00.920 --> 0:25:01.720
<v Speaker 2>go all the way.

0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that's so said. And then the worst part was

0:25:03.720 --> 0:25:08.719
<v Speaker 1>her sister, Gretchen was watching and saw it happen, and

0:25:08.760 --> 0:25:11.640
<v Speaker 1>her heart went straight to her sister. But she had

0:25:11.680 --> 0:25:16.199
<v Speaker 1>to focus because she's also part of Team USA and

0:25:16.400 --> 0:25:19.560
<v Speaker 1>just you know, not that long after this all happened,

0:25:19.960 --> 0:25:22.439
<v Speaker 1>she then had to compete in the four by one

0:25:22.480 --> 0:25:26.120
<v Speaker 1>hundred mixed relay team, and so she really said, even

0:25:26.119 --> 0:25:28.600
<v Speaker 1>though her heart was breaking for her sister, she had

0:25:28.640 --> 0:25:33.760
<v Speaker 1>to keep her head focused on her actual match. And

0:25:34.000 --> 0:25:38.120
<v Speaker 1>well it worked because Gretchen won gold with her relay team.

0:25:38.200 --> 0:25:41.920
<v Speaker 1>In fact, they set a world record, So congratulations to them.

0:25:41.960 --> 0:25:45.440
<v Speaker 1>So heartbreak for one and gold for the other sister.

0:25:45.600 --> 0:25:47.680
<v Speaker 2>She said in that she was in the warm up pool. Yeah,

0:25:47.720 --> 0:25:51.280
<v Speaker 2>and she said her sister, she sees her win bronze.

0:25:51.720 --> 0:25:54.560
<v Speaker 2>She then just does a little warm up lap and

0:25:54.600 --> 0:25:56.920
<v Speaker 2>by the time she comes up and looks her sister

0:25:56.960 --> 0:25:59.520
<v Speaker 2>doesn't have bronze anymore. And can you imagine what that family,

0:25:59.800 --> 0:26:02.240
<v Speaker 2>that family goes from a goal from this one and

0:26:02.280 --> 0:26:04.679
<v Speaker 2>to the disappointment of that one. And that was a

0:26:04.720 --> 0:26:05.680
<v Speaker 2>tough moment to see.

0:26:05.880 --> 0:26:08.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and no one probably knew the heartbreak more than

0:26:08.680 --> 0:26:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Gretchen because she knew what she knows what it's like

0:26:11.560 --> 0:26:13.440
<v Speaker 1>and what work went into that and to see that

0:26:13.640 --> 0:26:17.080
<v Speaker 1>just disappear over you know, rules are the rules, and

0:26:17.080 --> 0:26:19.199
<v Speaker 1>they understand that, and I'm sure it was just it

0:26:19.240 --> 0:26:21.720
<v Speaker 1>was a mistake, but it was a costly one.

0:26:22.320 --> 0:26:25.200
<v Speaker 2>So yes, it's the Olympics. Boy, can it can hurt sometimes,

0:26:25.240 --> 0:26:27.680
<v Speaker 2>can't it? But we do have these other stories in

0:26:27.720 --> 0:26:29.480
<v Speaker 2>these moments. And one of the biggest moments of this

0:26:29.560 --> 0:26:34.520
<v Speaker 2>Olympics will forever be remembered. Where Stephen Netarozik, who helped

0:26:34.600 --> 0:26:38.440
<v Speaker 2>course the US men when the team bronze. He is

0:26:38.480 --> 0:26:41.800
<v Speaker 2>a pommel horse specialist and he was robed back at

0:26:41.840 --> 0:26:43.200
<v Speaker 2>his specialty yesterday.

0:26:43.240 --> 0:26:45.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's so cool. I mean, obviously it's amazing

0:26:46.000 --> 0:26:49.480
<v Speaker 1>to win a team medal and that means so much

0:26:49.560 --> 0:26:52.080
<v Speaker 1>to this group who's been together, working hard, but to

0:26:52.080 --> 0:26:55.840
<v Speaker 1>have an individual medal is also just remarkably special. And

0:26:56.160 --> 0:26:59.600
<v Speaker 1>he was the only member of Team USA, the men's

0:26:59.640 --> 0:27:03.560
<v Speaker 1>gymnastic sticks team, who actually qualified to compete in the

0:27:03.560 --> 0:27:05.960
<v Speaker 1>finals on an individual event, So that in and of

0:27:06.000 --> 0:27:08.520
<v Speaker 1>itself was a cool thing for him, and then for

0:27:08.640 --> 0:27:12.040
<v Speaker 1>him to actually meddle because the pommel horse, we saw

0:27:12.040 --> 0:27:14.560
<v Speaker 1>it in as much of the competition as we've seen,

0:27:15.400 --> 0:27:17.280
<v Speaker 1>threw a lot of guys off. Threw a lot of

0:27:17.280 --> 0:27:20.560
<v Speaker 1>guys off, and it was heartbreaking to watch hands slip off,

0:27:20.800 --> 0:27:24.280
<v Speaker 1>people falling, gymnasts falling off the pommel horse. But man,

0:27:24.560 --> 0:27:27.240
<v Speaker 1>that guy can pommel horse, and it is awesome to

0:27:27.240 --> 0:27:29.119
<v Speaker 1>see him do what he does and just to be

0:27:29.200 --> 0:27:30.640
<v Speaker 1>celebrated the way he has.

0:27:31.000 --> 0:27:33.400
<v Speaker 2>And that will continue. He will have a heroes welcome

0:27:33.400 --> 0:27:35.399
<v Speaker 2>when he comes back to the US. But congrats to Ireland.

0:27:35.400 --> 0:27:36.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the guy who ends up getting the gold

0:27:36.960 --> 0:27:39.479
<v Speaker 2>in this is the first time Ireland has ever had

0:27:39.520 --> 0:27:40.480
<v Speaker 2>a goal in gymnastics.

0:27:40.520 --> 0:27:43.439
<v Speaker 1>So I love those stories and just to see, you know,

0:27:43.520 --> 0:27:47.080
<v Speaker 1>the whole country just give a huge collective hugged one person.

0:27:47.200 --> 0:27:50.119
<v Speaker 1>That's really really cool. I love watching those moments.

0:27:50.160 --> 0:27:52.399
<v Speaker 2>Well, we're we're watching you didn't like how they put it,

0:27:52.400 --> 0:27:56.119
<v Speaker 2>and I loved it. It's very blunt. But there was

0:27:56.560 --> 0:27:59.600
<v Speaker 2>an athlete, a commentator was a former olympian, was saying,

0:27:59.680 --> 0:28:03.439
<v Speaker 2>my job here is to keep my dream alive, and

0:28:03.480 --> 0:28:05.040
<v Speaker 2>the way to do that is to kill yours.

0:28:05.320 --> 0:28:09.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that was That was ruthless. And I understand that

0:28:09.200 --> 0:28:10.000
<v Speaker 1>we are talking.

0:28:10.000 --> 0:28:13.040
<v Speaker 2>Everybody there has an Olympic dream, and the only way

0:28:13.080 --> 0:28:17.679
<v Speaker 2>yours stays alive you gotta in somebody else's. That is cold, It's.

0:28:17.560 --> 0:28:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Not where my head goes. The truth.

0:28:19.720 --> 0:28:21.520
<v Speaker 2>You see this, We're watching bad Midton. One of these

0:28:21.600 --> 0:28:23.520
<v Speaker 2>dudes right now is going to kill the other one's

0:28:23.560 --> 0:28:25.920
<v Speaker 2>spirit and dream in just a few minutes.

0:28:26.000 --> 0:28:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Wow. I mean that is one way to look at it.

0:28:28.080 --> 0:28:36.320
<v Speaker 1>I guess to focus on the positive for everybody. Oh wow, okay, Nike,

0:28:36.600 --> 0:28:38.920
<v Speaker 1>that's nice. I like that. I mean it is I

0:28:39.000 --> 0:28:41.000
<v Speaker 1>gotta you gotta get into the headspace that you need

0:28:41.040 --> 0:28:42.960
<v Speaker 1>to be in to win, and to win you have

0:28:43.080 --> 0:28:45.800
<v Speaker 1>to be ruthless sometimes, but you gotta play by the rules.

0:28:45.840 --> 0:28:47.400
<v Speaker 1>You gotta play by the rules. A nia.

0:28:49.600 --> 0:28:50.880
<v Speaker 2>We got to get will to foll on this.

0:28:51.240 --> 0:28:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, all right, we are watching of course

0:28:54.400 --> 0:28:58.120
<v Speaker 1>more Olympics Today tennis is a big one. It's happening

0:28:58.200 --> 0:29:02.320
<v Speaker 1>right now as we're recording this men singles gold medal match.

0:29:02.440 --> 0:29:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Of course, Novak Djokovic and Spain's Carlos how do I

0:29:06.840 --> 0:29:11.080
<v Speaker 1>say his last name? Alcoraz Alcoraz top two seeds competing

0:29:11.120 --> 0:29:15.160
<v Speaker 1>for the gold medal. So this is exciting and going

0:29:15.200 --> 0:29:17.320
<v Speaker 1>to be one that everyone's talking about it. It's one

0:29:17.320 --> 0:29:19.600
<v Speaker 1>of the big, big, big gold medal wins.

0:29:19.640 --> 0:29:22.080
<v Speaker 2>The oldest guy and the youngest guy ever in the

0:29:22.120 --> 0:29:22.800
<v Speaker 2>final yep.

0:29:23.040 --> 0:29:25.680
<v Speaker 1>And our other fun fact that Djokovic is his fourth

0:29:25.720 --> 0:29:27.840
<v Speaker 1>time trying to get his first medal.

0:29:27.880 --> 0:29:29.960
<v Speaker 2>He's zero for three in the semis that the.

0:29:31.520 --> 0:29:34.040
<v Speaker 1>But he is in the finals, so this is going

0:29:34.080 --> 0:29:36.560
<v Speaker 1>to be exciting. And the women's doubles medal matches are

0:29:36.560 --> 0:29:40.600
<v Speaker 1>happening as well today. Table tennis always fun to watch,

0:29:40.640 --> 0:29:43.520
<v Speaker 1>but they actually have their finals this morning as well.

0:29:43.760 --> 0:29:48.080
<v Speaker 1>You can probably catch replays of those. Gymnastics, we have

0:29:48.200 --> 0:29:52.719
<v Speaker 1>the men's rings final and the men's vold final, but

0:29:52.840 --> 0:29:55.320
<v Speaker 1>no US athletes are going to be in those. As

0:29:55.320 --> 0:29:57.800
<v Speaker 1>we mentioned, Steven Netorozik was the only one who was

0:29:57.840 --> 0:30:01.280
<v Speaker 1>actually able to compete qualified to compete in an individual event.

0:30:02.920 --> 0:30:03.280
<v Speaker 2>American.

0:30:03.840 --> 0:30:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I actually have that as a note here. Even though

0:30:06.000 --> 0:30:11.120
<v Speaker 1>there's no Americans competing, it is incredible to watch these men,

0:30:11.600 --> 0:30:14.320
<v Speaker 1>just the best of the best compete on these events.

0:30:14.360 --> 0:30:18.280
<v Speaker 1>So it's so worth watching in my humble opinion. And

0:30:18.320 --> 0:30:20.600
<v Speaker 1>then the women's uneven bars final is today. That's I

0:30:20.600 --> 0:30:23.160
<v Speaker 1>think happening at nine to forty Eastern time. But that's

0:30:23.320 --> 0:30:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Sunissa Lee, Sony Lee, and this is her event, so

0:30:27.160 --> 0:30:30.920
<v Speaker 1>I am really excited. She absolutely is a gold medal contender,

0:30:31.040 --> 0:30:34.320
<v Speaker 1>so that's going to be very fun to watch. This

0:30:34.480 --> 0:30:37.680
<v Speaker 1>is the last day, the final day of swimming events

0:30:37.680 --> 0:30:41.520
<v Speaker 1>in Paris, so that's a big deal. And we've got

0:30:41.560 --> 0:30:45.200
<v Speaker 1>some I think there's a fifty meter freestyle final in

0:30:45.280 --> 0:30:48.000
<v Speaker 1>women's and a four by one hundred medley relay final.

0:30:48.240 --> 0:30:51.280
<v Speaker 1>The men have a fifteen hundred meter freestyle final and

0:30:51.320 --> 0:30:53.600
<v Speaker 1>a four by one hundred medley relay final. So four

0:30:54.080 --> 0:30:58.200
<v Speaker 1>wants to watch there in swimming, and then track and field,

0:30:58.320 --> 0:31:01.480
<v Speaker 1>this one, this one is must we can find out

0:31:01.800 --> 0:31:04.760
<v Speaker 1>who the fastest man in the world is. Today. The

0:31:04.760 --> 0:31:10.120
<v Speaker 1>one hundred meter final, all eyes on Noah. That's at

0:31:10.120 --> 0:31:13.239
<v Speaker 1>three fifty Eastern times, So what that pressure is going

0:31:13.280 --> 0:31:14.600
<v Speaker 1>to be tough for him. What do you think, I mean,

0:31:14.640 --> 0:31:15.480
<v Speaker 1>what are they saying?

0:31:16.600 --> 0:31:18.240
<v Speaker 2>What are they saying? It doesn't matter. It only matters

0:31:18.280 --> 0:31:20.239
<v Speaker 2>what he's saying, because that dude can talk. He's got

0:31:20.240 --> 0:31:23.479
<v Speaker 2>a great personality, he has fun, he is. He is

0:31:23.520 --> 0:31:27.680
<v Speaker 2>that kind of confident and cocky that you know.

0:31:28.040 --> 0:31:30.920
<v Speaker 1>I love No a lot. Sorry, we can't wait to

0:31:30.920 --> 0:31:34.160
<v Speaker 1>see him. Also, there's the women's high jump final and

0:31:34.200 --> 0:31:36.840
<v Speaker 1>the men's hammer throw a final. I've been loving watching

0:31:36.880 --> 0:31:39.880
<v Speaker 1>all these drag and field events and women's basketball. We

0:31:39.880 --> 0:31:43.240
<v Speaker 1>should mention that too. They are playing Germany at eleven

0:31:43.240 --> 0:31:48.280
<v Speaker 1>to fifteen Eastern time, and yeah, they're expected to win everything.

0:31:48.400 --> 0:31:50.040
<v Speaker 2>Always step on the court.

0:31:50.240 --> 0:31:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Again, So another full day of Olympics. We'll let you

0:31:53.640 --> 0:31:57.440
<v Speaker 1>know how our half marathon went. But thank you as

0:31:57.440 --> 0:32:00.800
<v Speaker 1>always for joining us and for listening to to the

0:32:00.960 --> 0:32:02.080
<v Speaker 1>t from Perry.

0:32:02.480 --> 0:32:03.720
<v Speaker 2>Again, we're not married to that
