WEBVTT - Tea from Paris: Day Sixteen

0:00:02.720 --> 0:00:08.479
<v Speaker 1>Sunday, August eleventh, Jordan's Childs has to return her bronze medal.

0:00:09.039 --> 0:00:12.000
<v Speaker 2>We are just getting word this morning after a Court

0:00:12.000 --> 0:00:16.079
<v Speaker 2>of Arbitration ruled yesterday that Chile's floor exercise score should

0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:19.200
<v Speaker 2>never have been changed in the first place, and therefore

0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:21.880
<v Speaker 2>she never should have been awarded the bronze over the

0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:22.880
<v Speaker 2>Romanian gymnasts.

0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Hey there, folks, welcome to another t from Praie edition

0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:29.200
<v Speaker 1>of Amy and TJ. And this is a stunning and

0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:33.520
<v Speaker 1>sad conclusion, we think, to what was perhaps the most

0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:37.479
<v Speaker 1>drama filled and controversial moment in the Paris Games.

0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:41.760
<v Speaker 2>That's right, US Gymnastics, calling the initial court ruling devastating.

0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:44.840
<v Speaker 2>Chiles has said she's leaving social media for now.

0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:45.920
<v Speaker 3>Heartbroken.

0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:49.200
<v Speaker 2>She literally put four emojis of a broken heart when

0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:51.239
<v Speaker 2>she said she was leaving. And we're going to tell

0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:54.800
<v Speaker 2>you exactly what's going on and what the IOC just

0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 2>said this morning about this big decision that Jordan child

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 2>has to return her bronze medal.

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Also, chef Curry cooking in Paris, Steph shows out as

0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:08.399
<v Speaker 1>Team Yousa wins a fifth straight gold medal. Also a

0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 1>gold medal result for the US women's soccer team, which

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:14.640
<v Speaker 1>still hasn't lost under new coach Emma Hayes, and breaking

0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:16.640
<v Speaker 1>continues to be the talk of the Olympics, but not

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:19.679
<v Speaker 1>in the way a lot of people had hoped. We'll

0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:21.680
<v Speaker 1>get to all that, but we have got to get

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 1>to Jordan Chiles Robes. I'll be honest with you, I

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.280
<v Speaker 1>thought it was over. I know there were some appeals

0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>and protests and things that were out there, and I

0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.399
<v Speaker 1>forgot about it. This was almost a week ago that

0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:36.959
<v Speaker 1>that floor exercise competition took place. I'm in shock.

0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:39.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, the thing that I thought might happen

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:42.080
<v Speaker 2>was perhaps they might go back and look at the

0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:45.560
<v Speaker 2>other Romanian gymnasts who did not step out of bounds,

0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:47.760
<v Speaker 2>that maybe they would give her that tenth of a point.

0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 3>But that seemed, as you point out.

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:52.240
<v Speaker 2>A distant memory, it seemed like if something was going

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 2>to happen, it would have happened earlier. A lot of

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:59.080
<v Speaker 2>appeals go into these types of arbitration, and you know,

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:03.400
<v Speaker 2>they are denied and they really stand by what happens

0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:06.720
<v Speaker 2>in the field of play, and then they tend to

0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 2>go back to that decision not re allocate medals and

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:15.280
<v Speaker 2>reallocate who won what. It's very rare, and so because

0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:17.720
<v Speaker 2>we hadn't heard anything, we thought this was over.

0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Solk. As we speak to you right now, that that

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:24.400
<v Speaker 1>moment you saw that we all saw. We are being

0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.639
<v Speaker 1>told now those three women you saw on the podium,

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:31.360
<v Speaker 1>it it did not happen. Jordan Chiles did not actually

0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 1>win a bronze medal in that event, and that the

0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:36.200
<v Speaker 1>score should have stood, and we saw. We were trying

0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:38.639
<v Speaker 1>to understand why this took places and what's happening next.

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:40.560
<v Speaker 1>We have a few details to still get, but the

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:43.960
<v Speaker 1>ioc Ropes did put out a statement about what they

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 1>are working to do next to resolve.

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 3>This, trying to figure out a way for Jordan Chiles

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.679
<v Speaker 3>to physically return her medal.

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:55.400
<v Speaker 1>If that's the case. I mean, I told you earlier

0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:57.520
<v Speaker 1>that Charlton Helston line. You had to come get that

0:02:57.560 --> 0:02:59.680
<v Speaker 1>out of my cold dead hand. You really think I'm

0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.359
<v Speaker 1>gonna put this in the mail for you? You think, I mean,

0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.120
<v Speaker 1>I guess they could be penalized if they don't follow

0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 1>along with the rules of the governing bodies, and perhaps

0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:11.320
<v Speaker 1>that's what compel her to send it back. But it's

0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:14.640
<v Speaker 1>offensive at this point because all the athletes have been

0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:17.680
<v Speaker 1>done wrong. So the IOC what they are saying is, quote,

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.919
<v Speaker 1>we are in touch with the National Olympic Committee of

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 1>Romania to discuss the reallocation ceremony and with the US

0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Olympic officials regarding the return of the bronze medal. That

0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:35.480
<v Speaker 1>statement this morning from the IOC. So we wait for ropes.

0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, this was it seemed like so long ago,

0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 1>but it was. It was almost a week ago that

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 1>the competition took place.

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:41.800
<v Speaker 3>Ah.

0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, let's go back to how this all began. Last Monday,

0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:48.320
<v Speaker 2>August fifth. It was the women's floor exercise competition. Jordan

0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 2>was the final gymnast to perform, and her score, the

0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.080
<v Speaker 2>score she got initially definitely put her in fifth place.

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:57.880
<v Speaker 2>We saw Rebecca Andrage of Brazil getting gold, Siman Biles

0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:03.720
<v Speaker 2>got silver, and Anna Barbosu of Romania got the bronze

0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 2>third place, and in fact, we saw Barbosu grabbing a

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 2>Romanian flag wrapping it around her, celebrating what would be

0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 2>the first Olympic medal for her country in twenty years.

0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:16.160
<v Speaker 2>But then the drama ensued.

0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the US coach requested an inquiry into Chiles score,

0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:23.839
<v Speaker 1>an inquiry as we all googled after the fact and

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.479
<v Speaker 1>had to learn An inquiry allows judges to go back

0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:28.720
<v Speaker 1>and review a routine to make sure some elements were

0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.600
<v Speaker 1>raided properly. Okay, So sure enough they reviewed it and

0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:36.600
<v Speaker 1>changed Child's score by a tenth of a point. That

0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:39.640
<v Speaker 1>was enough to move her to third. She got the bronze.

0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:43.120
<v Speaker 1>This set off really one of the most dramatic, lasting,

0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:47.640
<v Speaker 1>albeit confusing scenes of the Paris Games. We saw Chiles

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:52.839
<v Speaker 1>sitting there waiting, thinking she was out of the metals.

0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:56.640
<v Speaker 1>The word cames and she is just elated. She explodes

0:04:56.680 --> 0:05:00.560
<v Speaker 1>with emotion and joy at winning. Youxta pose that with

0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.760
<v Speaker 1>the images we saw and the heartbreak and the tears

0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 1>from the Romanian gymnasts who just found out in fact, no,

0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:07.480
<v Speaker 1>you didn't get that.

0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Bronze to your country, and reaction on both sides was

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:14.640
<v Speaker 2>pretty quick. Romania almost immediately filed and official appeals. The

0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:18.040
<v Speaker 2>country's prime minister said he was boycotting the closing ceremony.

0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:22.600
<v Speaker 2>Romanian gymnastics legend Nadiya komanitch she was not shy at

0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:26.400
<v Speaker 2>all about voicing her displeasure and said Olympic officials were

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 2>messing with the mental health of the gymnasts while she

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.600
<v Speaker 2>was on point there because it was just the beginning

0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:36.320
<v Speaker 2>of what has become just an unbelievable situation for all

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:39.920
<v Speaker 2>of these gymnasts involved. And meanwhile, yeah, Jordan has been

0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:43.080
<v Speaker 2>the target of vicious attacks online and it's been unrelenting

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:45.480
<v Speaker 2>for this past week, including what her mom. She's had

0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:48.599
<v Speaker 2>to come to her defense twice on X on Twitter

0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:54.880
<v Speaker 2>calling racist, disgusting comments out, and she has had to

0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.480
<v Speaker 2>come to her daughter's defense. It's just been incredibly sad

0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:04.000
<v Speaker 2>and just messy, awful situation that I don't this probably

0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:04.920
<v Speaker 2>makes it even worse.

0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.800
<v Speaker 1>And nothing, nothing, not a negative word should be directed

0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:10.840
<v Speaker 1>at any athlete in this at all. They have a

0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:12.560
<v Speaker 1>system and they have rules, and they have people that

0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.800
<v Speaker 1>let them down, So anything director of these athletes is absurd.

0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:18.360
<v Speaker 2>To your point, I just wanted to say because I

0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:21.120
<v Speaker 2>loved what Sunny Lee wrote on Instagram. She said, all

0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 2>this talk about the athlete, what about the judges? Completely unacceptable.

0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:28.119
<v Speaker 2>This is awful and I'm gutted for Jordan.

0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Again, rules are rules, but you have to apply them

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.240
<v Speaker 1>well to also make them fair. So it's been a

0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 1>weird weekend and we're waking up with this news today

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:40.000
<v Speaker 1>just coming down as we were recording here at what

0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:43.400
<v Speaker 1>is at seven am now, But what happened yesterday that

0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:46.720
<v Speaker 1>ended up with all this in motion. Following the Childs

0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:49.440
<v Speaker 1>bronze medal win, Romania sent letters of protest to the

0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 1>International Gymnastics Federation. Expected they also sent a request for

0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:57.640
<v Speaker 1>review to the Court of Arbitration for Sport that is

0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:01.760
<v Speaker 1>the organization with the authority to settle sports related disputes.

0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:04.960
<v Speaker 1>And yesterday that court is the one that ruled that

0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:09.560
<v Speaker 1>Child's score should not have been changed after her inquiry. Why,

0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:14.720
<v Speaker 1>they say, Robes, the inquiry came after the deadline to

0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:16.960
<v Speaker 1>submit an inquiry.

0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:19.120
<v Speaker 2>And this is what I'm learning this. I think a

0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.480
<v Speaker 2>lot of people are. I didn't even realize there was

0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:24.600
<v Speaker 2>a deadline. There's a one minute deadline, so according to

0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:27.960
<v Speaker 2>the rules, an athlete or their coaches have to request

0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 2>an inquiry within one minute of the score being posted. Well,

0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:36.600
<v Speaker 2>the court said that Chile's inquiry came at one minute

0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:41.920
<v Speaker 2>and four seconds for seconds too late, and that is

0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:47.440
<v Speaker 2>why they have returned her score back to below the

0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:49.000
<v Speaker 2>third place.

0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:52.320
<v Speaker 3>So now she's face back thirteen point sixty sixty six.

0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:54.920
<v Speaker 1>They did not even and to be clear here, this

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:58.560
<v Speaker 1>court did not even consider whether or not her routine

0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.320
<v Speaker 1>was scored correctly. They didn't go back and look and

0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:04.120
<v Speaker 1>say that routine deserved a point that was not the

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 1>point they say we had. The review is not legit

0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:11.040
<v Speaker 1>because it did not come within time. Now I was

0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:14.000
<v Speaker 1>asking you robes, do they have a clock? Do they

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.040
<v Speaker 1>know is there a countdown? Who kept the time? And

0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:18.200
<v Speaker 1>how do they know it is a minute?

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.679
<v Speaker 2>For Yeah, I mean you would hope that anyone involved

0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:25.239
<v Speaker 2>with gymnastics team USA Gymnastics would know there's a quick

0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.520
<v Speaker 2>window of time to put in an inquiry, and maybe

0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:30.840
<v Speaker 2>they thought they had gotten it in under the one minute.

0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:32.920
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I've never seen a clock. I never knew

0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.960
<v Speaker 2>there was a one minute deadline. So to your point,

0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:39.719
<v Speaker 2>I doubt there's some clock showing the coaches or the

0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:41.800
<v Speaker 2>team or the gymnast you got one minute?

0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Then who can query? Then how can you make an

0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:47.240
<v Speaker 1>argument at all? But you can't just say that every

0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:50.440
<v Speaker 1>sport has a I use this earlier a basketball there

0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.640
<v Speaker 1>is a twenty four second shot clock. Yeah, I'm looking

0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:54.319
<v Speaker 1>at it. If this ball is not out of my

0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:56.439
<v Speaker 1>hand to shoot this thing by the time that his

0:08:56.600 --> 0:09:00.439
<v Speaker 1>zero there's a violation. You can't just have every body

0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:02.520
<v Speaker 1>looking at when did you start your clock? When did

0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:04.560
<v Speaker 1>you start yours? You can't do that.

0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:06.280
<v Speaker 3>So maybe there is a clock, Yeah, I've just never

0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:06.720
<v Speaker 3>seen it.

0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:09.360
<v Speaker 1>But if there is one. When the coach went and

0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.559
<v Speaker 1>said I want to put in an inquiry, the response

0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:14.160
<v Speaker 1>should have been you're too late, you're too late, and

0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:15.680
<v Speaker 1>we wouldn't have had this issue yep.

0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:19.080
<v Speaker 2>But the judges and said instead accepted the inquiry, looked

0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:22.040
<v Speaker 2>into it and made a decision to change the score

0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:26.760
<v Speaker 2>right then and there, a minute and four seconds after

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 2>she finished or her score was posted. That to me

0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:33.160
<v Speaker 2>is where the failure took place. Why they then accepted

0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.440
<v Speaker 2>the inquiry and then changed the score. That is where

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.240
<v Speaker 2>the problem happened. And it is not the fault of

0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:43.320
<v Speaker 2>the gymnasts. And it's frustrating to see what's happening. So

0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.760
<v Speaker 2>the Court of Arbitration, by the way, who made that call.

0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:50.560
<v Speaker 2>They did not make the ruling about what should happen

0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.320
<v Speaker 2>to Charles Bronze medal. In fact, we know that Romania

0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:56.880
<v Speaker 2>asked when they put in their appeals, they asked that

0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:02.600
<v Speaker 2>all three women, the two Romanians who to and Jordan

0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:03.360
<v Speaker 2>all be.

0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:05.720
<v Speaker 3>Given the bronze medal. That was what their request was.

0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:06.559
<v Speaker 3>That was denied.

0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.480
<v Speaker 2>So the Court of Arbitration said, hey, it's the International

0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:12.560
<v Speaker 2>Olympic Committee, the IOC, you guys deal with the medals,

0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:14.200
<v Speaker 2>and they just made their ruling.

0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:16.840
<v Speaker 1>And there were three options, like you said, and why

0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:20.280
<v Speaker 1>would three get it? There? Of course Chiles would keep it,

0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:22.320
<v Speaker 1>the other young lady from Romania would get it, but

0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:28.400
<v Speaker 1>the other the argument has been that another Romanian gymnast

0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:32.320
<v Speaker 1>was not scored accurately, and so they're saying all three

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:35.440
<v Speaker 1>women they requested that, and that seemingly was denied. So

0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:39.200
<v Speaker 1>that was one option that the International Olympic Committee had.

0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Option two would have been to take the bronze medal

0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:47.400
<v Speaker 1>from Chiles and then give it to the Romanian gymnast.

0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:49.760
<v Speaker 1>But there was one other option they have, which was

0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:52.320
<v Speaker 1>to give the Romanian gymnast a bronze as well, so

0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.240
<v Speaker 1>two women would share it. But they seem to have

0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:58.600
<v Speaker 1>gone with their option two, which is to take the

0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:03.640
<v Speaker 1>bronze medal around from around her neck essentially and give

0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:07.440
<v Speaker 1>it to the Romanian gymnast. That is where we are.

0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:09.520
<v Speaker 1>But Rob, you looked up before this might not be

0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:12.720
<v Speaker 1>the end either based on precedent, because sometimes these things

0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:16.280
<v Speaker 1>ends up ends up in courts and appeals for months

0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:16.960
<v Speaker 1>down the road.

0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:17.920
<v Speaker 3>That's true.

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:20.920
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I was just reading up about something that happened.

0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:24.079
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't exactly the same, but something similar with skiers

0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:29.160
<v Speaker 2>in Beijing in twenty twenty two, where they went back

0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:31.240
<v Speaker 2>and forth who got third, who got fourth, and they

0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:33.760
<v Speaker 2>ruled one way, they ruled the other way. Eventually, after

0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.040
<v Speaker 2>months of whether or not one had to give the

0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:38.839
<v Speaker 2>medal back, they just decided to let both of them

0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:41.319
<v Speaker 2>keep the medal. You know, I don't know if that's

0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:43.600
<v Speaker 2>going to happen, because it's been It was made very

0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:46.559
<v Speaker 2>clear in a headline that she must return her bronze medal.

0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:53.360
<v Speaker 2>How when if those are still questions that perhaps only

0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Jordan Giles can answer.

0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:56.920
<v Speaker 1>Bo, you're sitting here at this point, do you do

0:11:57.000 --> 0:12:00.240
<v Speaker 1>you feel? I mean, what do you do? You earned

0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:04.480
<v Speaker 1>it her score, right, you can actually say this though

0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:07.360
<v Speaker 1>we're not arguing about her score. Her score she actually

0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:11.040
<v Speaker 1>scored better than the fact. But she didn't. But you

0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:14.200
<v Speaker 1>said it earlier. Rules are rules. The problem is with

0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:17.000
<v Speaker 1>the application of the rules, and it screws over the athletes.

0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:20.559
<v Speaker 2>It's not their fault, right, we've seen four seconds that

0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:24.040
<v Speaker 2>that would be a huge, a huge margin of winning

0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:26.600
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to a raise and track and field.

0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:30.200
<v Speaker 2>So yes, I get it, like time is important, deadlines matter,

0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:32.680
<v Speaker 2>It can make the difference between winning and losing, and

0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:36.120
<v Speaker 2>so yes, it seems like four seconds is nothing, but

0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:39.040
<v Speaker 2>it's everything in Olympics in a lot of different ways.

0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:42.959
<v Speaker 2>But they didn't apply it in the moment. And that's

0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:46.840
<v Speaker 2>the problem and that's why we're here. And it's frustrating

0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.800
<v Speaker 2>and it's sad, and it unfortunately will probably be the

0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:54.400
<v Speaker 2>biggest story out of this Olympics. And it's frustrating for athletes.

0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:56.480
<v Speaker 2>I can't even imagine how Jordan is feeling and how

0:12:56.480 --> 0:13:00.760
<v Speaker 2>the two Romanian gymnasts are feeling. Nobody wins in this situation.

0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:01.720
<v Speaker 2>Nobody wins.

0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:05.439
<v Speaker 1>And you know the other thing, I yeah, that moment

0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:08.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't happen. It might be my favorite picture from the Olympics,

0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.920
<v Speaker 1>besides Shakerrill crossing the finish line at the four x

0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:14.120
<v Speaker 1>one and looking over to her opponents, but to see

0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Rebecca Androge of Brazil some Own Biles with the silver

0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:22.360
<v Speaker 1>position at the podium, and Jordan Chiles with bronze. That

0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:24.600
<v Speaker 1>was the first time we have ever in the history

0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:29.720
<v Speaker 1>of the Olympics seeing three black folks, three black gymnasts

0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:32.640
<v Speaker 1>on the podium. We've never seen it before. And now

0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:34.600
<v Speaker 1>these folks are telling us, you didn't see it this time.

0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:37.480
<v Speaker 2>It didn't happen. It was a mistake. In fact, they're

0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:39.880
<v Speaker 2>talking about a reallocation ceremony.

0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:43.760
<v Speaker 1>A reallocation ceremony. Those those four of gymnasts. The heart

0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:45.720
<v Speaker 1>goes out to them. They were fail Look where all

0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:47.960
<v Speaker 1>human beings, people screw up. There was a screw up

0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:52.120
<v Speaker 1>here on this scale. It sucks and it hurts for

0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:56.120
<v Speaker 1>everybody involved. But hopefully, I mean when you love, I'm

0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:57.959
<v Speaker 1>sure at some point we're going to see Jordan Giles

0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:02.240
<v Speaker 1>and that gymnast together somewhere in some international competition or

0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:05.600
<v Speaker 1>coming together in some way that maybe calms people down

0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:07.920
<v Speaker 1>because there's a motion on both sides. Yeah, I'm pissed.

0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think everyone feels in somehow betrayed by the

0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:15.280
<v Speaker 2>system and what they said was supposed to work.

0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:15.800
<v Speaker 3>It didn't.

0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:19.280
<v Speaker 2>It failed miserably. But yes, I love you know, you

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:23.000
<v Speaker 2>see the camaraderie among so many of these athletes in

0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.160
<v Speaker 2>these different sports because they understand what it takes to

0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:29.560
<v Speaker 2>get there, and they understand the sacrifice that has taken

0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:32.480
<v Speaker 2>place in order to be the greatest from your country

0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:34.840
<v Speaker 2>to do skills that none of us could imagine doing.

0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:38.000
<v Speaker 2>So I would love to see that, and that would

0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:40.320
<v Speaker 2>be a beautiful moment. And I think there is obviously

0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:42.920
<v Speaker 2>there's more to come on this story, and hopefully, you know,

0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:45.320
<v Speaker 2>maybe it'll take the athletes to make it better and

0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:48.240
<v Speaker 2>to make us all feel better, because certainly the system,

0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:52.840
<v Speaker 2>the judges and these these appeals courts have made things

0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:54.720
<v Speaker 2>worse and what extremely messy.

0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:57.840
<v Speaker 3>I want, you know what I want? I want. I

0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:03.080
<v Speaker 3>want Jordan and I want Anna Anna to keep their medals.

0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:05.560
<v Speaker 2>I think they both deserve that's the one. I think

0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:08.240
<v Speaker 2>they both deserve bronzes. I think taking a medal away

0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:12.360
<v Speaker 2>from somebody who earned it is total bs. And I'm

0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:13.920
<v Speaker 2>told I'm angry for her.

0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:16.600
<v Speaker 1>They told her she earned it. It's not like she

0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:18.600
<v Speaker 1>earned it and they, oh, you cheated with a drug

0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.480
<v Speaker 1>test or oh you did something wrong. They told her

0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.720
<v Speaker 1>she earned it. You don't take that back from somebody, agreed,

0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:26.520
<v Speaker 1>can't you know? A part of me is I hope

0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:28.160
<v Speaker 1>all of them get together and said, the hell with it,

0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:30.880
<v Speaker 1>take all your metals back. Just send a bronz. We

0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:32.800
<v Speaker 1>don't give a shit. Just all of them. Just don't

0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:34.840
<v Speaker 1>accept them, because this is now too much of a

0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:36.680
<v Speaker 1>mess to If you get it in Romania, do you

0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:38.840
<v Speaker 1>feel good about it? No, your first medal in twenty years.

0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:41.280
<v Speaker 3>Jordan hangs that bronze. Does she feel good about it?

0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:44.560
<v Speaker 3>It's tough. It just sours the whole experience for everyone.

0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:48.800
<v Speaker 1>She could sell it for a lot, probably that medal.

0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Talked about metal in the Smithsonian. We know you know,

0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:56.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean I would go, I would go see it.

0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:59.160
<v Speaker 1>I love you, Jordan, keep doing your thing and rooting

0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:11.520
<v Speaker 1>for you even harder than ever. At this point, we

0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:16.120
<v Speaker 1>turn now to Team USA men's basketball and Steph Curry's

0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:20.200
<v Speaker 1>talent translates in any language, but especially in French. He

0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:23.000
<v Speaker 1>put on an international showcase yesterday, Rose. We watched this.

0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:25.440
<v Speaker 1>He helped the US men win a fifth straight basketball

0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:29.760
<v Speaker 1>gold medal against the home team, and it absolutely felt

0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:31.680
<v Speaker 1>like it was a home game for France. The crowd

0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:32.760
<v Speaker 1>was with him yesterday.

0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:33.120
<v Speaker 3>Oh absolutely.

0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:37.400
<v Speaker 2>But Steph scored twenty four points all on three pointers.

0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:41.680
<v Speaker 2>That's insane, and he made eight but four of them

0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:44.880
<v Speaker 2>came in a two minute stretch in the fourth quarter

0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:48.920
<v Speaker 2>that clearly just put the game away, and it was remarkable.

0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:51.480
<v Speaker 1>He was freakish, he was Steph and what we're used

0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:52.840
<v Speaker 1>to saying. But this is great for him. He had

0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:54.680
<v Speaker 1>a kind of a rough start to the Olympics. But

0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:57.320
<v Speaker 1>this is the only thing that's missing. He's got MVPs,

0:16:57.400 --> 0:17:00.480
<v Speaker 1>he's got NBA Finals, MVPs, he's got four chanceampions, She's

0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:03.040
<v Speaker 1>got all these, but he never got an Olympic medal

0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:05.440
<v Speaker 1>first time playing in the Olympics because the past two

0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:11.720
<v Speaker 1>he had injury issues, and then the COVID Olympics as

0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:13.560
<v Speaker 1>well was a bit of a mess and he opted out.

0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:16.280
<v Speaker 1>So he finally got it this time around. So that

0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:18.199
<v Speaker 1>was good to see. But this is a first for

0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:21.959
<v Speaker 1>him and it was cool yesterday. Never to hear the

0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:27.480
<v Speaker 1>announcer say Durant to Lebron to Steph, Right, to think

0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:30.760
<v Speaker 1>of those three guys on the same team was absolutely

0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:31.400
<v Speaker 1>dream team.

0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Right continues All right, oh man, we had a blast.

0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:39.359
<v Speaker 2>We set our day around the US women's soccer team

0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:43.320
<v Speaker 2>and they did not disappoint their back on top, taking

0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:46.120
<v Speaker 2>the gold medal after a one to nothing win over

0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Brazil and the American women became Olympic champions for the

0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:53.919
<v Speaker 2>first time in twelve years. There has definitely been a drought,

0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:56.080
<v Speaker 2>but with that gold medal, the US is now the

0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:59.560
<v Speaker 2>first team in women's soccer to earn five Olympic gold medals.

0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:03.680
<v Speaker 2>That is a huge feed. But it's been quite the journey.

0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:07.359
<v Speaker 2>Just a year ago, if anyone was following this team,

0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:10.800
<v Speaker 2>they were struggling to even score goals. They didn't advance

0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:13.080
<v Speaker 2>past the Women's World Cup round sixteen.

0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:16.160
<v Speaker 3>But they had a different coach that should be noted.

0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Yes, look, give them her credit, and she's fun to watch,

0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:26.200
<v Speaker 1>right coach. She is something about her energy, she confidence

0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:28.399
<v Speaker 1>about her. I like her a lot, not just because

0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:29.800
<v Speaker 1>she's winning. Oh, I guess it helps.

0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:31.880
<v Speaker 3>That definitely is a big part of it. Let's be honest.

0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:34.320
<v Speaker 3>You have lost all her games, say we would not

0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:38.840
<v Speaker 3>be talking. Yeah, what's wrong with her?

0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:43.359
<v Speaker 1>She looks great yesterday. But they this is a team

0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:45.639
<v Speaker 1>that's so much coming into this tournament. Was talking about, well,

0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:48.760
<v Speaker 1>the lowest ranking of the US women ever. They got

0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:51.679
<v Speaker 1>down to number five internationally, and look at what they did.

0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:53.960
<v Speaker 1>They're playing a major international tournament.

0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:56.840
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, oh, my goodness, and it was you know,

0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:59.919
<v Speaker 2>the first half was a little, a little boring. Zero's

0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:02.399
<v Speaker 2>never loved those games, but it meant that they were

0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:05.840
<v Speaker 2>both playing their very best. Early in the second half though,

0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:09.200
<v Speaker 2>right when we came back, Mouse Watson made the one

0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:11.920
<v Speaker 2>and only goal, and I have to give I mean,

0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:14.919
<v Speaker 2>it was remarkable to watch the goalkeeper, Alyssa Naire. She

0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:18.480
<v Speaker 2>made some incredible saves and it was it reminded me

0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:22.040
<v Speaker 2>of what we had our discussion with Brianna Scurry, the

0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:24.800
<v Speaker 2>goalkeeper for a team USA back in the Glory days.

0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:28.719
<v Speaker 2>She said she loved being goalkeeper because it's the only

0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:32.000
<v Speaker 2>player on a team who can determine whether or not

0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:35.680
<v Speaker 2>their team will lose, and when you keep the ball

0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:38.480
<v Speaker 2>out of the net, you ensure that your team is

0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:41.879
<v Speaker 2>not going to lose. Now, Brazil did score, but it

0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:43.639
<v Speaker 2>didn't count because they were off sides. But it was

0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:44.439
<v Speaker 2>a scary moment.

0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:47.159
<v Speaker 3>It was right off. It was in the beginning, right,

0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:48.600
<v Speaker 3>it was in the first half, the.

0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:50.200
<v Speaker 1>First half, and I know it was Zero that this

0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:53.280
<v Speaker 1>is you and I watch a lot of international taker

0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:55.480
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to countries, but this is the only

0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:59.000
<v Speaker 1>I can't imagine watching forty five minutes we get to

0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:01.800
<v Speaker 1>have time in the scores zero zero, and I could say, wow,

0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:02.639
<v Speaker 1>that was thrilling.

0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:03.120
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:05.120
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't in the soccer growing up, and a lot

0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:07.560
<v Speaker 1>of it was because I don't score a lot, but

0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:11.240
<v Speaker 1>it was a thrilling, thrilling first half because they were

0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:14.200
<v Speaker 1>attacking each other and you were shocked that nobody was scoring.

0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Uh quite frankly so. And Brazil is just a beautiful

0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:21.120
<v Speaker 1>team to watch, but they didn't look like themselves. Then

0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:23.600
<v Speaker 1>credit the US to that who constantly put pressure on

0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:27.240
<v Speaker 1>it was I'm glad to see them back where we're

0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:29.040
<v Speaker 1>used to them being like it was a bump in

0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:32.120
<v Speaker 1>the row. Wow, you're the number five in the world. Well,

0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:34.720
<v Speaker 1>the US men would go, we would get out of

0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:37.040
<v Speaker 1>parade for them to five.

0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:40.400
<v Speaker 2>They were amazing and I loved at the end the

0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:44.920
<v Speaker 2>loudspeakers were playing Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA and

0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:46.120
<v Speaker 2>the women.

0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:47.480
<v Speaker 3>Jumping in a huddle celebrating.

0:20:47.520 --> 0:20:50.080
<v Speaker 2>It was just it was one of those Olympic moments

0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:52.400
<v Speaker 2>that you love to watch and witness, all.

0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Right, the other Olympic moment that well, we're not sure

0:20:55.880 --> 0:20:58.920
<v Speaker 1>what we watched what we witnessed, and some people don't

0:20:58.920 --> 0:21:01.520
<v Speaker 1>appreciate what we're witnessing when it came when it's come

0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:04.359
<v Speaker 1>to breaking, which is now done. That all that's wrapped up.

0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:08.119
<v Speaker 1>We did see the men in breaking, so all the

0:21:08.160 --> 0:21:11.480
<v Speaker 1>talk day one after the women perform. Unfortunately, some would

0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:13.560
<v Speaker 1>say for those who are really trying to promote breaking,

0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:16.919
<v Speaker 1>was about the young lad Raygun from Australia and her

0:21:17.040 --> 0:21:20.359
<v Speaker 1>questionable moves and how she got there and making a

0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:23.000
<v Speaker 1>mockery and she wasn't really competitive, you know, I don't know,

0:21:23.000 --> 0:21:26.040
<v Speaker 1>I'd explained Raygun, but the guys came back and forth.

0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Yees, yeah, there was Yeah, there was no Raygun equivalent

0:21:29.119 --> 0:21:32.800
<v Speaker 2>in the men's breaking competition. But I we had a

0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:36.840
<v Speaker 2>blast watching this one. They were battling it out, some

0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:41.280
<v Speaker 2>incredible moves and there are skill levels and I put

0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:43.560
<v Speaker 2>seamed off the charts because I don't you know, we

0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:46.359
<v Speaker 2>don't know a lot about breaking, so but I was

0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:48.680
<v Speaker 2>blown away by what these men were able to do.

0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:50.280
<v Speaker 1>Do you know that's one of the complaints now, you

0:21:50.320 --> 0:21:52.760
<v Speaker 1>say we don't know a lot about breaking. One of

0:21:52.800 --> 0:21:55.880
<v Speaker 1>the complaints from people in who follow this and who

0:21:55.920 --> 0:21:59.520
<v Speaker 1>are with federations breaking federations, Yes, countries have them that

0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:01.760
<v Speaker 1>there was enough explanation for you.

0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:03.440
<v Speaker 3>You know what that means A good point.

0:22:03.480 --> 0:22:06.480
<v Speaker 1>We see these guys dancing, that's impressive. When you watch gymnastics,

0:22:06.520 --> 0:22:08.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't get that. But somebody's explaining to me what

0:22:08.640 --> 0:22:10.159
<v Speaker 1>this is and what they were trying to do and

0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:13.320
<v Speaker 1>what this There wasn't enough for us to get educated

0:22:13.440 --> 0:22:15.000
<v Speaker 1>to understand what was happening.

0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:18.080
<v Speaker 2>That's a really good point. And look, we have a

0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:23.280
<v Speaker 2>Canadian bee boy who was Asian. His name was phil Wizard,

0:22:23.440 --> 0:22:25.240
<v Speaker 2>but his real name is Philip Kim. That's his bee

0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:25.680
<v Speaker 2>boy name.

0:22:25.960 --> 0:22:28.000
<v Speaker 3>He took the gold. He was incredible.

0:22:28.320 --> 0:22:31.600
<v Speaker 2>He went up against in the gold medal round hometown

0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:33.440
<v Speaker 2>favorite French bee boy Danny Dan.

0:22:33.840 --> 0:22:35.840
<v Speaker 3>His name's danis Silvil. He got silver.

0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:38.879
<v Speaker 2>What you know, this was a cool thing for me

0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:41.159
<v Speaker 2>to see because as they were waiting for the judges decision,

0:22:41.160 --> 0:22:44.760
<v Speaker 2>because they literally just pick who they thought won the

0:22:44.800 --> 0:22:48.200
<v Speaker 2>break battle, and the crowd went wild as both of

0:22:48.240 --> 0:22:50.080
<v Speaker 2>the bee boys hugged each other and we saw that

0:22:50.119 --> 0:22:52.800
<v Speaker 2>a lot. There was a camaraderie between the competitors. They

0:22:52.840 --> 0:22:55.440
<v Speaker 2>were hugging even we saw them do moves alongside each other,

0:22:55.520 --> 0:22:58.880
<v Speaker 2>like syncing up with each other, almost supporting each other

0:22:58.880 --> 0:22:59.960
<v Speaker 2>even though they were battling.

0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:02.679
<v Speaker 4>It felt like the skateboarders, right, yeah, it did, but

0:23:03.119 --> 0:23:06.159
<v Speaker 4>I think it almost felt more like a dance party

0:23:06.200 --> 0:23:07.720
<v Speaker 4>than a competition.

0:23:07.280 --> 0:23:12.159
<v Speaker 2>In a way, Team USA finally representing with the bronze,

0:23:12.200 --> 0:23:15.120
<v Speaker 2>the only medal for the women or the men's even

0:23:15.160 --> 0:23:19.240
<v Speaker 2>though obviously this is the place that breaking was born

0:23:19.320 --> 0:23:21.640
<v Speaker 2>in the Bronx here in New York. But American bee

0:23:21.640 --> 0:23:24.720
<v Speaker 2>boy Victor he was incredible to watch, thirty years old,

0:23:24.840 --> 0:23:28.040
<v Speaker 2>been breaking competitively since he was fourteen. His brother and

0:23:28.040 --> 0:23:30.399
<v Speaker 2>his dad were bee boys as well, so he has

0:23:30.440 --> 0:23:31.280
<v Speaker 2>a long history in that.

0:23:32.160 --> 0:23:34.679
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, it's it's.

0:23:34.600 --> 0:23:38.359
<v Speaker 2>Unclear how people feel about it, and it's unclear if

0:23:38.359 --> 0:23:40.760
<v Speaker 2>we're going to see it again. This was the first

0:23:41.359 --> 0:23:43.879
<v Speaker 2>and perhaps the last time we will see breaking as

0:23:43.920 --> 0:23:46.359
<v Speaker 2>an event. It is not currently in the lineup of

0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:48.680
<v Speaker 2>sports for the twenty twenty eight Games in Los Angeles,

0:23:49.440 --> 0:23:53.960
<v Speaker 2>so you know, there's a question mark, and I don't

0:23:54.000 --> 0:23:56.120
<v Speaker 2>know how I I'm not even sure how I feel

0:23:56.119 --> 0:23:56.560
<v Speaker 2>about it.

0:23:56.640 --> 0:23:59.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, I was so impressed yesterday. I'm not taking

0:23:59.520 --> 0:24:02.200
<v Speaker 1>away from the women, but it was Ray Gunn did

0:24:02.240 --> 0:24:05.520
<v Speaker 1>take away from that competition certainly, and the talk afterwards

0:24:05.640 --> 0:24:08.480
<v Speaker 1>the women were wildly impressive and so much of what

0:24:08.520 --> 0:24:10.639
<v Speaker 1>they were doing. The guys are off the charge in

0:24:10.720 --> 0:24:13.840
<v Speaker 1>terms of they looked like gymnasts when and a lot

0:24:13.840 --> 0:24:16.320
<v Speaker 1>of the moves they were doing it was incredible. What

0:24:17.119 --> 0:24:19.119
<v Speaker 1>ms are I'm looking up? We're watching cycling this morning,

0:24:19.119 --> 0:24:23.840
<v Speaker 1>and somebody just took a nasty fault in cycling. If

0:24:23.840 --> 0:24:26.040
<v Speaker 1>you've been watching any of that speed cycle, my goodness,

0:24:26.600 --> 0:24:28.239
<v Speaker 1>you do not want to fall off that bike as

0:24:28.280 --> 0:24:31.919
<v Speaker 1>you're going around that oval. But incline back to the

0:24:32.520 --> 0:24:36.359
<v Speaker 1>the breaking here we're talking. They were so impressive and

0:24:36.480 --> 0:24:39.480
<v Speaker 1>jaw dropping and so much of what they were doing yesterday.

0:24:39.920 --> 0:24:41.800
<v Speaker 1>I still didn't get her to understand. And some are

0:24:41.840 --> 0:24:47.919
<v Speaker 1>saying that's not necessarily breaking, that's not the culture, the

0:24:47.960 --> 0:24:52.159
<v Speaker 1>subculture what breaking started as to where now it's moving

0:24:52.520 --> 0:24:58.000
<v Speaker 1>in a direction that Americans and the originators of this

0:24:58.240 --> 0:25:01.680
<v Speaker 1>can't even compete because you're changing the rules to turn

0:25:01.720 --> 0:25:06.280
<v Speaker 1>breaking into something it wasn't originally making international but adding

0:25:06.359 --> 0:25:09.439
<v Speaker 1>moves and doing things that aren't these power moves and

0:25:09.480 --> 0:25:13.040
<v Speaker 1>things that aren't the core necessarily of what breaking was.

0:25:13.080 --> 0:25:16.959
<v Speaker 1>But it are you? Are you changing? Is the world

0:25:17.000 --> 0:25:21.280
<v Speaker 1>now revolutionizing the sport or Is it taking it from us?

0:25:22.359 --> 0:25:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Is the question?

0:25:22.920 --> 0:25:24.760
<v Speaker 2>Well? Yeah, I mean I said this yesterday when I

0:25:24.760 --> 0:25:28.320
<v Speaker 2>watched the women There was especially a young woman from

0:25:28.880 --> 0:25:33.320
<v Speaker 2>Lithuania who got into the finals, and she I mean

0:25:33.359 --> 0:25:35.800
<v Speaker 2>it looked like cultural appropriation to a point, like she's

0:25:35.840 --> 0:25:39.119
<v Speaker 2>wearing you know, the head scarves and I don't know,

0:25:39.440 --> 0:25:40.480
<v Speaker 2>I felt a little.

0:25:40.280 --> 0:25:43.520
<v Speaker 3>Icky and a little uncomfy watching it. It is the

0:25:43.560 --> 0:25:45.480
<v Speaker 3>best way for me to describe it.

0:25:45.800 --> 0:25:46.600
<v Speaker 1>And uncomfy.

0:25:46.640 --> 0:25:49.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I was like, should she be wearing that? Should

0:25:49.440 --> 0:25:52.600
<v Speaker 3>she be doing that? I don't know. It felt a

0:25:52.600 --> 0:25:53.720
<v Speaker 3>little How old was she?

0:25:54.680 --> 0:25:56.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean she looked young. They all looked very young.

0:25:56.840 --> 0:25:59.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean yeah, because the American was thirty years old,

0:25:59.119 --> 0:26:03.200
<v Speaker 2>which I was surprised. This is I don't know, I'm

0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:05.000
<v Speaker 2>on the fence.

0:26:05.400 --> 0:26:07.560
<v Speaker 1>But to your point, the young lady f I can't

0:26:07.600 --> 0:26:11.680
<v Speaker 1>remember her name, Nika be girl, Nica, I think from Lithuania. Yeah,

0:26:11.720 --> 0:26:13.760
<v Speaker 1>but she was in a do rag the whole time.

0:26:13.800 --> 0:26:15.960
<v Speaker 1>And this is a teenage little white girl. I think

0:26:15.960 --> 0:26:18.040
<v Speaker 1>she's seventeen, but she's been on the scene for a

0:26:18.080 --> 0:26:24.359
<v Speaker 1>while now. She learned was introduced to break dancing after

0:26:24.400 --> 0:26:28.879
<v Speaker 1>she was watching cartoons on YouTube. Is the story she tells, Okay,

0:26:29.720 --> 0:26:32.640
<v Speaker 1>we should celebrate that some kid in Lithuania is now

0:26:32.680 --> 0:26:36.120
<v Speaker 1>being exposed to something from New York that she now

0:26:36.160 --> 0:26:39.000
<v Speaker 1>picks up and enjoys. I think that's a positive. But

0:26:39.119 --> 0:26:43.199
<v Speaker 1>when she takes it and she then turns it into

0:26:43.520 --> 0:26:48.080
<v Speaker 1>or tries to if she doesn't respect the history, the background,

0:26:48.160 --> 0:26:50.159
<v Speaker 1>and just puts on in part of it, just putting

0:26:50.160 --> 0:26:52.640
<v Speaker 1>on a do rag because I saw a black dude

0:26:52.680 --> 0:26:56.200
<v Speaker 1>do it. That feels icky and wrong, and some people

0:26:56.240 --> 0:27:00.000
<v Speaker 1>were very much turned off by that. Now do ragok,

0:27:00.160 --> 0:27:02.320
<v Speaker 1>some folks might not know with black folks been wearing

0:27:02.359 --> 0:27:06.440
<v Speaker 1>new rags forever. But it serves a functional purpose to

0:27:07.880 --> 0:27:09.520
<v Speaker 1>lay your hair. If you're trying to get waves, you

0:27:09.520 --> 0:27:11.480
<v Speaker 1>put the dow rag on. It sets the waves. Because

0:27:11.480 --> 0:27:14.840
<v Speaker 1>we have coarser hair, that's fine. It protects the hair.

0:27:15.080 --> 0:27:17.320
<v Speaker 1>You sleep in them. Sometimes we get that I didn't

0:27:17.400 --> 0:27:20.159
<v Speaker 1>use do rags, but I've used bandanas before when I

0:27:20.160 --> 0:27:22.200
<v Speaker 1>was in junior high high school. Put it on in

0:27:22.200 --> 0:27:24.120
<v Speaker 1>the morning. It lays the hair a little bit. I've

0:27:24.520 --> 0:27:26.760
<v Speaker 1>you've done this, But to see a little white girl

0:27:26.840 --> 0:27:29.520
<v Speaker 1>just put it on because she's trying to be down.

0:27:30.440 --> 0:27:33.080
<v Speaker 2>That's where I felt itchy and uncomfy.

0:27:35.280 --> 0:27:40.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but you want to there's a balance you want.

0:27:40.840 --> 0:27:43.760
<v Speaker 1>It is great that this thing from New York has

0:27:43.960 --> 0:27:49.760
<v Speaker 1>made it to the international stage. Let's celebrate. But oh,

0:27:49.960 --> 0:27:52.240
<v Speaker 1>what was alone in eminem I am the worst thing

0:27:52.359 --> 0:27:56.560
<v Speaker 1>since Elvis Presley to use black music so selfishly and

0:27:56.720 --> 0:28:00.600
<v Speaker 1>use it to make myself wealthy. Hey, yes, that's what

0:28:00.680 --> 0:28:04.199
<v Speaker 1>it felt like. We were seeing was something being taken

0:28:04.720 --> 0:28:07.520
<v Speaker 1>and exploited in a way that wasn't what it was

0:28:07.560 --> 0:28:08.280
<v Speaker 1>originally meant for.

0:28:08.520 --> 0:28:11.200
<v Speaker 3>Well, it might be one and done in the Olympics.

0:28:11.240 --> 0:28:13.359
<v Speaker 1>See what's the line here? Where's the line from the

0:28:13.720 --> 0:28:18.159
<v Speaker 1>guy from USA breaking Breaking for Gold USA and Dance USA.

0:28:18.320 --> 0:28:21.480
<v Speaker 1>An organizer said, and I quote that what we saw

0:28:21.520 --> 0:28:25.080
<v Speaker 1>he said, may have alienated too many new viewers. We

0:28:25.160 --> 0:28:28.399
<v Speaker 1>need to change the narrative from the first impression of

0:28:28.440 --> 0:28:33.080
<v Speaker 1>breaking as an Olympic sport. There were significant organizational and

0:28:33.240 --> 0:28:37.960
<v Speaker 1>governance shortcomings that could have been easily reconciled, but unfortunately

0:28:38.000 --> 0:28:43.280
<v Speaker 1>negatively impacted Breaking's first touching point to a new global audience.

0:28:43.880 --> 0:28:47.080
<v Speaker 1>That's him saying that, yeah, wow, that's big. That's from

0:28:47.520 --> 0:28:50.160
<v Speaker 1>Zach Susser, who was with a breaking organization in the US.

0:28:50.760 --> 0:28:53.440
<v Speaker 1>So it was entertaining. It was fun to some, but

0:28:53.520 --> 0:28:55.920
<v Speaker 1>some cringed the whole time.

0:28:56.000 --> 0:28:58.480
<v Speaker 2>It looked like a dance party that maybe I shouldn't

0:28:58.480 --> 0:29:00.080
<v Speaker 2>be watching.

0:29:01.200 --> 0:29:03.440
<v Speaker 1>But have you ever seen a breaking battle like a

0:29:03.640 --> 0:29:07.800
<v Speaker 1>club you if wed, you would want to go every weekend.

0:29:08.560 --> 0:29:11.040
<v Speaker 1>But they don't feel like that. They don't feel they

0:29:11.040 --> 0:29:15.120
<v Speaker 1>feel intimate, they feel personal, they feel I don't know,

0:29:15.160 --> 0:29:16.320
<v Speaker 1>they don't feel like that kind.

0:29:16.160 --> 0:29:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Of authentic even maybe the authentic that might be the

0:29:19.240 --> 0:29:23.520
<v Speaker 2>word that is missing and should have been more focus on.

0:29:23.680 --> 0:29:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Let's not take away from their talent and their yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:29:28.120 --> 0:29:29.520
<v Speaker 1>all of them amazing to get out of there and

0:29:29.520 --> 0:29:30.600
<v Speaker 1>do it all right.

0:29:30.680 --> 0:29:34.320
<v Speaker 2>We had an amazing morning. You know, I don't necessarily

0:29:34.360 --> 0:29:37.440
<v Speaker 2>like getting up too early, but today back up at

0:29:37.480 --> 0:29:41.800
<v Speaker 2>two thirty am and it was awesome. It was worth

0:29:41.800 --> 0:29:46.120
<v Speaker 2>it to watch the women's marathon Olympic Marathon. It was

0:29:46.480 --> 0:29:49.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, maybe we feel a little bit closer to

0:29:49.120 --> 0:29:51.800
<v Speaker 2>this because we know what it takes to run a marathon.

0:29:51.840 --> 0:29:53.520
<v Speaker 2>I have no idea what it takes to run a

0:29:53.520 --> 0:29:57.880
<v Speaker 2>marathon in two hours and twenty two minutes, but that's

0:29:57.880 --> 0:30:00.880
<v Speaker 2>what Safan Hassan of the Netherlands pull off this morning.

0:30:01.560 --> 0:30:05.360
<v Speaker 2>Something that no woman has done in Olympic history. She

0:30:05.440 --> 0:30:08.600
<v Speaker 2>got a medal in three of the most grueling races

0:30:08.640 --> 0:30:10.440
<v Speaker 2>at the Olympics, so from track and field. On the

0:30:10.840 --> 0:30:15.160
<v Speaker 2>track to taking it on the marathon course, it was

0:30:15.480 --> 0:30:20.920
<v Speaker 2>remarkable watching her with gas in the tank in the

0:30:21.120 --> 0:30:22.080
<v Speaker 2>last stretch.

0:30:22.480 --> 0:30:26.360
<v Speaker 1>It was crazy and folks ron the best in the

0:30:26.400 --> 0:30:28.920
<v Speaker 1>world are in this event and several dropout. They quit,

0:30:29.240 --> 0:30:32.360
<v Speaker 1>they stopped running. It's that difficult. And there's a crazy

0:30:32.440 --> 0:30:33.320
<v Speaker 1>hill on this course.

0:30:33.360 --> 0:30:34.200
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god.

0:30:34.240 --> 0:30:34.400
<v Speaker 2>Good.

0:30:34.520 --> 0:30:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Some are even shocked it's a part of the marathon course,

0:30:37.560 --> 0:30:39.920
<v Speaker 1>but they're running. Rosalie. I didn't notice it with the

0:30:39.960 --> 0:30:42.560
<v Speaker 1>men yesterday, but today the women going up this hill

0:30:42.680 --> 0:30:45.760
<v Speaker 1>are literally almost leaning completely. It's clear as day when

0:30:45.800 --> 0:30:48.320
<v Speaker 1>you watch it, leaning forward, trying to make their way up.

0:30:48.200 --> 0:30:50.040
<v Speaker 3>This hill, and you can see their gate change.

0:30:50.120 --> 0:30:55.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the commentators were seriously overstating how absurd this

0:30:55.440 --> 0:30:57.720
<v Speaker 2>hill was and how they actually couldn't believe that they

0:30:57.800 --> 0:31:00.200
<v Speaker 2>chose to keep it in the race because it be

0:31:00.200 --> 0:31:02.960
<v Speaker 2>a game changer, because that like it was what was

0:31:02.960 --> 0:31:06.080
<v Speaker 2>it like fifteen sixteen miles in the hill game, and.

0:31:06.040 --> 0:31:07.720
<v Speaker 3>It was a long hill.

0:31:07.800 --> 0:31:11.520
<v Speaker 2>But Hassan not only won the marathon this morning. She

0:31:11.600 --> 0:31:14.400
<v Speaker 2>set an Olympic record, and then, as we mentioned, she

0:31:14.400 --> 0:31:16.960
<v Speaker 2>got a bronze in the five thousand meter race and

0:31:17.160 --> 0:31:20.040
<v Speaker 2>a bronze in the ten thousand meter race, and she.

0:31:20.080 --> 0:31:22.080
<v Speaker 3>Ran the ten thousand meter race just a day and

0:31:22.120 --> 0:31:23.200
<v Speaker 3>a half ago.

0:31:23.560 --> 0:31:25.560
<v Speaker 2>We keep hearing the word fresh legs when we see

0:31:25.560 --> 0:31:27.760
<v Speaker 2>the soccer players, ooh, they got fresh legs on the field.

0:31:28.360 --> 0:31:29.920
<v Speaker 3>She did not have fresh legs.

0:31:30.360 --> 0:31:33.800
<v Speaker 1>And yet the commentator we were listening to and that

0:31:33.880 --> 0:31:38.200
<v Speaker 1>this is a this is a direct quote, most impressive

0:31:38.280 --> 0:31:41.000
<v Speaker 1>thing I've seen from a female marathon er. I am

0:31:41.080 --> 0:31:43.719
<v Speaker 1>in shock by what we just witnessed. And those are

0:31:43.720 --> 0:31:46.320
<v Speaker 1>the experts and the marathon runners who are doing the

0:31:46.320 --> 0:31:48.280
<v Speaker 1>commentary that what she did was just incredible.

0:31:48.400 --> 0:31:50.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and this commentator, she didn't she win the New

0:31:50.880 --> 0:31:53.400
<v Speaker 2>York Marathon, win the Boston Marathon, and she's a two

0:31:53.440 --> 0:31:55.520
<v Speaker 2>time Olympian, so she knows what she's talking about.

0:31:55.880 --> 0:31:57.880
<v Speaker 1>They know it. They didn't so when I hear that,

0:31:57.920 --> 0:32:00.200
<v Speaker 1>so it was just it was incredible. And we watched you.

0:32:00.200 --> 0:32:02.080
<v Speaker 1>You up this morning. You you want to complain about

0:32:02.080 --> 0:32:05.200
<v Speaker 1>being up early. You came out at two thirty or whatever.

0:32:05.400 --> 0:32:08.880
<v Speaker 1>You were chatty Kathy from that year.

0:32:08.920 --> 0:32:11.000
<v Speaker 4>Because I went to bed at seven pm with you

0:32:11.160 --> 0:32:16.640
<v Speaker 4>last night. I sent a photo to my daughter going

0:32:16.720 --> 0:32:19.640
<v Speaker 4>to bed now seven pm hashtag loser.

0:32:19.760 --> 0:32:21.920
<v Speaker 3>But no, it was it was really worth it.

0:32:21.960 --> 0:32:25.520
<v Speaker 2>And we had an amazing day watching the women of

0:32:25.840 --> 0:32:28.680
<v Speaker 2>track and field. It was just it was a great

0:32:28.800 --> 0:32:31.960
<v Speaker 2>final day on the track. Right there another history making woman,

0:32:32.880 --> 0:32:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Faith kipp Yayon. I can never say, is that right?

0:32:35.200 --> 0:32:38.640
<v Speaker 2>Faith kip Ya of Kenya. Wow, she is now the

0:32:38.680 --> 0:32:40.880
<v Speaker 2>first woman to win the fifteen hundred meters gold in

0:32:41.040 --> 0:32:42.640
<v Speaker 2>three straight Olympics.

0:32:43.080 --> 0:32:45.720
<v Speaker 3>And she won by beating her own.

0:32:45.680 --> 0:32:49.520
<v Speaker 2>Olympic record, which was remarkable, and she just she was

0:32:49.640 --> 0:32:52.800
<v Speaker 2>smoking it, smoking it right.

0:32:52.640 --> 0:32:54.880
<v Speaker 1>She really And then she's the greatest. She's considered the

0:32:54.880 --> 0:32:56.880
<v Speaker 1>greatest in the fifteen hundred ever and she never ever

0:32:56.880 --> 0:32:57.480
<v Speaker 1>had done remark.

0:32:57.520 --> 0:32:59.800
<v Speaker 2>And I actually have to give kudos to Jessica Hull

0:32:59.840 --> 0:33:03.640
<v Speaker 2>of Australia she won silver. She just was a powerhouse

0:33:03.680 --> 0:33:05.120
<v Speaker 2>too to see her do that. And then Great Britain's

0:33:05.160 --> 0:33:07.640
<v Speaker 2>Georgia Bell ran the race of her life to take

0:33:07.640 --> 0:33:10.880
<v Speaker 2>a bronze and she scored in a new national record.

0:33:10.920 --> 0:33:14.440
<v Speaker 2>I just I loved watching those women in the fifteen

0:33:14.480 --> 0:33:16.320
<v Speaker 2>hundred meters. I don't know what it was about that race,

0:33:16.320 --> 0:33:18.120
<v Speaker 2>but it was just awesome to see them.

0:33:18.000 --> 0:33:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Because it's a distance race that's quick and every lap

0:33:21.320 --> 0:33:23.800
<v Speaker 1>something dramatic is happening. You're seeing and set up. So

0:33:23.840 --> 0:33:35.080
<v Speaker 1>that's uh, that's fantastic. And rose was another photo of

0:33:35.080 --> 0:33:38.240
<v Speaker 1>finish on the track that resulted in the gold medal

0:33:38.280 --> 0:33:40.760
<v Speaker 1>for Team USA. We're talking about Massi Russell. She edged

0:33:40.760 --> 0:33:44.880
<v Speaker 1>out her closest competitor by one hundredth of a second

0:33:44.960 --> 0:33:48.920
<v Speaker 1>to win the women's one hundred meter hurdles. What was

0:33:48.960 --> 0:33:52.880
<v Speaker 1>that Noah Lyles was five thousand thousands. Yeah, that was

0:33:52.960 --> 0:33:55.120
<v Speaker 1>second that he won. There was another race we saw one.

0:33:54.960 --> 0:33:57.280
<v Speaker 3>By three thousandths, so.

0:33:57.200 --> 0:33:59.280
<v Speaker 1>These are very close. But but yeah, they had to

0:33:59.280 --> 0:34:01.640
<v Speaker 1>go to the photo, but sure enough she ends up

0:34:01.640 --> 0:34:04.960
<v Speaker 1>Missih Russell. This is her first Olympic medal.

0:34:05.000 --> 0:34:06.960
<v Speaker 3>Inst it was amazing.

0:34:07.000 --> 0:34:08.920
<v Speaker 2>And then I have to say it was initially puzzling

0:34:08.960 --> 0:34:12.560
<v Speaker 2>because yes, she won by such a narrow margin. To

0:34:12.600 --> 0:34:15.080
<v Speaker 2>see the silver medalist, who you'd think would be upset

0:34:15.400 --> 0:34:17.880
<v Speaker 2>that she lost that on gold by just that fraction

0:34:17.960 --> 0:34:21.120
<v Speaker 2>of a second, but she seemingly was celebrating more than Russell.

0:34:21.160 --> 0:34:24.160
<v Speaker 2>She was more excited than the gold medalist, and then

0:34:24.200 --> 0:34:28.000
<v Speaker 2>we learned she is now the first and only member

0:34:28.040 --> 0:34:31.080
<v Speaker 2>of Team France to win any medal of any color

0:34:31.480 --> 0:34:32.840
<v Speaker 2>in track and field for her country.

0:34:32.880 --> 0:34:34.359
<v Speaker 3>So you could see why it was a big deal.

0:34:34.480 --> 0:34:36.440
<v Speaker 1>But in that funny sometimes you see her on the

0:34:36.440 --> 0:34:39.719
<v Speaker 1>ground and crying and silver medal and you're thinking, year,

0:34:39.719 --> 0:34:42.839
<v Speaker 1>it's going crazy, but then it it needs context. Yes,

0:34:43.040 --> 0:34:44.759
<v Speaker 1>this is the only one for her, you know what,

0:34:45.239 --> 0:34:48.000
<v Speaker 1>she well deserved. Congrats to her. The women's four by

0:34:48.080 --> 0:34:51.200
<v Speaker 1>four hundred meter relay team goal for the US women

0:34:51.640 --> 0:34:54.200
<v Speaker 1>broken record kind of here rose, but they did have

0:34:54.239 --> 0:34:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Gabby Thomas and Sydney McLaughlin Larne in this race for

0:34:58.120 --> 0:34:59.959
<v Speaker 1>the American women to who the biggest stars on the track.

0:35:00.080 --> 0:35:01.759
<v Speaker 1>But this is not a new thing for the four

0:35:01.760 --> 0:35:02.960
<v Speaker 1>by four hundred relaying.

0:35:03.120 --> 0:35:03.520
<v Speaker 3>That's right.

0:35:03.560 --> 0:35:07.520
<v Speaker 2>This is the eighth consecutive gold medal for American women

0:35:07.560 --> 0:35:10.160
<v Speaker 2>in this event and it was the second fastest time

0:35:10.200 --> 0:35:12.480
<v Speaker 2>in history. There is a record on the books that

0:35:12.520 --> 0:35:15.480
<v Speaker 2>goes back to nineteen eighty eight by the Soviet Union.

0:35:15.520 --> 0:35:17.840
<v Speaker 2>They narrowly missed the record by just a tenth of

0:35:17.840 --> 0:35:20.239
<v Speaker 2>the second, so they were almost there. But it was

0:35:20.400 --> 0:35:22.720
<v Speaker 2>all the celebrations of those four women in the pictures

0:35:22.719 --> 0:35:24.759
<v Speaker 2>in the video, it's just it's so worth looking at.

0:35:24.800 --> 0:35:27.680
<v Speaker 2>They were ecstatic and it was awesome to see them

0:35:28.120 --> 0:35:29.560
<v Speaker 2>do what the men couldn't.

0:35:30.600 --> 0:35:31.520
<v Speaker 3>Sorry I had to say it.

0:35:31.640 --> 0:35:36.279
<v Speaker 2>Oh wait, well they did, but it's just that the

0:35:36.280 --> 0:35:37.360
<v Speaker 2>four one hundred.

0:35:37.440 --> 0:35:39.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, sorry, I can't get that out of my head. Sorry,

0:35:39.760 --> 0:35:40.880
<v Speaker 3>I'll let it go. I'll let it go.

0:35:41.080 --> 0:35:42.680
<v Speaker 1>You and Carl Lewis let it go, all.

0:35:42.719 --> 0:35:45.680
<v Speaker 3>Right, Yeah, Carl Lewis and I.

0:35:45.760 --> 0:35:49.360
<v Speaker 1>We go way back the final day of the Olympics, folks,

0:35:49.440 --> 0:35:51.560
<v Speaker 1>So we've got if you haven't didn't see the marathon

0:35:51.600 --> 0:35:53.920
<v Speaker 1>at two thirty am, like we did. It does replay

0:35:53.960 --> 0:35:57.560
<v Speaker 1>at noon today. Men's water polo, there's a bronze medal

0:35:57.560 --> 0:36:00.759
<v Speaker 1>match for the US men that is going to wrap,

0:36:00.760 --> 0:36:02.279
<v Speaker 1>but the replay will be later if you want to

0:36:02.320 --> 0:36:04.480
<v Speaker 1>see it. Women's volleyball is happening in just a few

0:36:04.520 --> 0:36:07.319
<v Speaker 1>minutes live, but that replay will be along as well.

0:36:07.320 --> 0:36:10.040
<v Speaker 1>But the US are taking on Italy. This is one

0:36:10.120 --> 0:36:11.799
<v Speaker 1>Rhoads in the gold medal match. I said, I will

0:36:11.840 --> 0:36:12.200
<v Speaker 1>not miss.

0:36:12.360 --> 0:36:13.040
<v Speaker 3>Yes, that's right.

0:36:13.080 --> 0:36:16.160
<v Speaker 2>And at nine thirty am, team USA women's basketball gold

0:36:16.160 --> 0:36:21.719
<v Speaker 2>medal match USA versus France. USA, we'll be cheering them

0:36:21.719 --> 0:36:24.839
<v Speaker 2>on and at three pm Eastern time. You can of

0:36:24.840 --> 0:36:26.319
<v Speaker 2>course watch this primetime as well.

0:36:26.360 --> 0:36:27.000
<v Speaker 3>They'll re air it.

0:36:27.080 --> 0:36:29.880
<v Speaker 2>But it's the closing ceremony, and this is a post

0:36:29.920 --> 0:36:32.440
<v Speaker 2>I've never seen a closing ceremony. I've always been on

0:36:32.480 --> 0:36:34.239
<v Speaker 2>a plane headed back to the United States. So this

0:36:34.280 --> 0:36:37.080
<v Speaker 2>is going to be really cool. Remember, Katie Ledecki and

0:36:37.200 --> 0:36:39.560
<v Speaker 2>rower Nick med will be flag bearers for Team USA.

0:36:40.400 --> 0:36:41.239
<v Speaker 3>But here's what we know.

0:36:41.640 --> 0:36:46.000
<v Speaker 2>We've been promised several world class performers. We believe there's

0:36:46.000 --> 0:36:49.279
<v Speaker 2>going to be several prominent performers representing California, and that's

0:36:49.280 --> 0:36:51.680
<v Speaker 2>a nod of course, to La, the next host city.

0:36:51.840 --> 0:36:54.440
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna see Snoop Dogg, who has become a fixture

0:36:54.880 --> 0:36:57.080
<v Speaker 2>in this year's Games. He's like at every event. I

0:36:57.120 --> 0:36:59.080
<v Speaker 2>feel like he's going to play a role in the

0:36:59.160 --> 0:37:02.480
<v Speaker 2>handover Seg. We've got our and b artist Her is

0:37:02.480 --> 0:37:04.880
<v Speaker 2>performing the US national anthem at the ceremony, which is

0:37:04.920 --> 0:37:06.240
<v Speaker 2>going to be amazing to watch.

0:37:06.680 --> 0:37:08.440
<v Speaker 3>And there's always the speculation.

0:37:08.760 --> 0:37:10.640
<v Speaker 2>So far it's proved to be true at least with

0:37:10.640 --> 0:37:13.919
<v Speaker 2>the opening ceremony, but we believe Los Angeles Natives, Billy

0:37:14.000 --> 0:37:16.160
<v Speaker 2>Eilish and perhaps the Red Hop Chili.

0:37:15.960 --> 0:37:17.440
<v Speaker 3>Peppers are going to be part of the event.

0:37:17.760 --> 0:37:21.160
<v Speaker 2>And then Tom Cruise, who we've seen at multiple events.

0:37:21.200 --> 0:37:23.600
<v Speaker 2>I saw him yesterday at the US Women's soccer game.

0:37:23.640 --> 0:37:26.479
<v Speaker 2>He's been at the gymnastics events. He's already in Europe

0:37:26.480 --> 0:37:29.560
<v Speaker 2>filming Mission Impossible eight while they believe, or we're hearing

0:37:30.160 --> 0:37:34.400
<v Speaker 2>that he may be performing some kind of stunt, and

0:37:34.560 --> 0:37:36.719
<v Speaker 2>so we'll see that and he'll be handing over the

0:37:36.760 --> 0:37:40.319
<v Speaker 2>flag to la for the twenty twenty eight Games. And

0:37:40.440 --> 0:37:42.160
<v Speaker 2>then a little more than two weeks from now, Paris

0:37:42.200 --> 0:37:44.440
<v Speaker 2>is going to be the host again of the Paralympics.

0:37:44.480 --> 0:37:46.800
<v Speaker 2>I want to mention that as well. That starts Wednesday,

0:37:46.800 --> 0:37:50.800
<v Speaker 2>August twenty eighth through September eighth, So there is more

0:37:51.280 --> 0:37:54.120
<v Speaker 2>athletic competition ahead for the city of Paris.

0:37:55.040 --> 0:37:58.280
<v Speaker 1>But the story of the day and of the Olympics

0:37:58.320 --> 0:38:03.000
<v Speaker 1>possibly continues to be the Jordan Childs. Jordan Childs being

0:38:03.000 --> 0:38:06.920
<v Speaker 1>told she now has to return her bronze medal after

0:38:07.000 --> 0:38:10.839
<v Speaker 1>that most dramatic of moments, and when she earned that

0:38:10.960 --> 0:38:14.000
<v Speaker 1>bronze medal, there would be plenty more to talk about there,

0:38:14.040 --> 0:38:17.400
<v Speaker 1>but our hearts go out to certainly Jordan Childs, but

0:38:18.040 --> 0:38:20.719
<v Speaker 1>all the gymnasts involved in this. This is not their

0:38:20.760 --> 0:38:22.520
<v Speaker 1>fault and they shouldn't have to be put through this.

0:38:22.600 --> 0:38:25.080
<v Speaker 1>But life is cruel and hard and difficult, and the

0:38:25.080 --> 0:38:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Olympics is no different sometimes and sometimes it's just the worst.

0:38:28.760 --> 0:38:30.920
<v Speaker 1>So they were failed by a lot of people robes

0:38:31.000 --> 0:38:33.560
<v Speaker 1>and it's just heartbreaks for all the women involved.

0:38:33.719 --> 0:38:35.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there's no better way to put that. This is

0:38:36.080 --> 0:38:36.440
<v Speaker 3>just this.

0:38:36.560 --> 0:38:39.800
<v Speaker 2>There are no there are I mean, everyone's a winner

0:38:39.800 --> 0:38:41.120
<v Speaker 2>for what they did and what they put in, but

0:38:41.200 --> 0:38:45.040
<v Speaker 2>this isn't anything that anybody would want for themselves in

0:38:45.120 --> 0:38:47.640
<v Speaker 2>terms of earning a medal or losing a medal. It's

0:38:47.719 --> 0:38:51.080
<v Speaker 2>just it's messy and it's unfortunate, and hopefully they can

0:38:51.080 --> 0:38:53.960
<v Speaker 2>fix this so it won't happen again. But we will

0:38:53.960 --> 0:38:56.480
<v Speaker 2>continue to bring you all the updates. Tomorrow we will

0:38:56.520 --> 0:39:00.560
<v Speaker 2>have another edition of Tea from Perry for listening.
