France remains in 5 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: third place with fifty one medals. 6 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 2: Welcome everyone to another t from Perry edition of Amy 7 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 2: and TJ. And you know what You can call him 8 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 2: Old McDonald, a fifty one year old just competed at 9 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 2: the Olympics against teenagers. Also, an American sprinter literally and 10 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 2: intentionally jogged the entirety of his race. It was all 11 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,160 Speaker 2: part of a strategy that now has him in the finals. 12 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 2: And an athlete got sick after swimming in the sun 13 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 2: and has now revealed what caused her illness. 14 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: Also, both boxers at the center of that gender controversy 15 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: make it to their respective finals and both will be 16 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: going for gold. Also, an Indian wrestler goes to extreme 17 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: measures to make weight for her gold medal round, but 18 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: it wasn't enough and miss the mark by just three 19 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: and a half ounces. 20 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 2: A lot has changed in Tom Shar's life since he 21 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 2: was a guest on our podcast Just a couple of 22 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 2: days ago. Mainly, well, he has a new medal around 23 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 2: his neck. 24 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: That's a that's a really cool story. We're all cheering 25 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: for these athletes. But Rose when we talked to these guys, 26 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: there was something a little more special when we watched 27 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: them compete after having had a conversation with him, it just, 28 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: I don't know, you feel like you know him in 29 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 1: a different way. And we were rooting hard for our 30 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:28,119 Speaker 1: skateboarder guys. 31 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, you get personally invested in them, and especially after 32 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 2: knowing just how chill they were. They weren't out for blood, 33 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 2: you know, they you know, and I don't I respect 34 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 2: that when that's part of your strategy to win a goal. 35 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 2: These guys were just doing what they love. They do 36 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 2: it every day and they just got to do it 37 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 2: on a big stage with the world watching and really 38 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 2: shine a spotlight on a sport they love. And I 39 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 2: feel like that's why they were in it. So you're 40 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 2: rooting for them even more because it wasn't some high 41 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 2: stakes competition. They were all buddies out there congratulating each other, 42 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 2: genuine smiles, cheering each other on. I loved watching park skateboarding. 43 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: That's funny you said it's not a high stakes competition. 44 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: I know what you mean by that. It's funny that 45 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: even at the Olympics with a gold medal on the line, 46 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 1: these guys are just as chill as if they're back 47 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: at their parks in California somewhere. That was fun to see. 48 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 2: It's like the opposite of track and field, you know, 49 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 2: you see these they are in it to win it, 50 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 2: and I think that's special and amazing too. But it's 51 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 2: just funny. The two sports couldn't be more different in 52 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 2: terms of yes, yes, it's funny to watch both of 53 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 2: them back to back. They're complete opposites. 54 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: We watched and we seems like every view'll know we 55 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: were watching this morning. We've been watching. We watched the 56 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: marathon swim this morning that starting. 57 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 2: You watched the marathon swim. Let's just be honest. 58 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: This one actually started earlier than the other event. This 59 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: one is one thirty am. 60 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 2: You got up at two thirty this morning. 61 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: To literally watch women swim through a river. 62 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 2: Babe, you're insane. So he came. He put it on 63 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 2: while we're both lying there, and normally we all know 64 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 2: TJ likes the TV on it. I can drone it out. 65 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 2: But for some reason the commentating, I just I started 66 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 2: getting into it, and then I couldn't fall back asleep. 67 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 2: So you had to go into the other room because 68 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 2: you have to. 69 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: This is a sport. It's not like constant it's constant action, 70 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: but you can't really see action thing. It's like watching 71 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,679 Speaker 1: a NASCAR race. At some point you just think they're 72 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: going around in circles. You have to really pay attention 73 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 1: for the nuance. And I had to have all the 74 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: nuance explained to me. 75 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 2: So you had to turn up the volume a little. 76 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 2: And that's when I was like, babe, can you turn 77 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 2: down the volume? And so you just left the room. 78 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I've been out here ever since. But that's right. 79 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: But it was cool. Of course we'll get into well 80 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: the river sin and all that going on. But the 81 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: young lady who ended up winning, he called. I couldn't 82 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: get They're out there in the water, you can't really 83 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: tell what's going on. But he called her. You know, 84 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: I love my commentators. He says, she's the Katie Ledecki 85 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: of open water swimming. I said, okay, now I got it. 86 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: Now I got it, And sure enough she wanted gold today. 87 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 2: Wow, that's incredible. I did make it out to the 88 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 2: other room in time to see something. Oh, just devastating 89 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 2: that failed dive. The Mexican diver, she says she heard 90 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 2: a noise, something distracted her and so she asked for 91 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 2: a second go at it, because she literally slipped off 92 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 2: the diving board and the judges, the referees ultimately said no. 93 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 2: And her Olympic dreams and she was a metal contender, 94 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 2: So it was really just you could hear the commentators 95 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 2: just they were expressing just how devastating this was. 96 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: You could argue, anybody who doesn't get a medal at 97 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: the Olympics had their Olympic dream died. You could argue. 98 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: But there are some, and we've watched them together. The 99 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: one who was disqualified in sport climbing because he took 100 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: off too early, the guy track who had a disqualification 101 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: because of a false start, never even got to run 102 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: in the Olympics. Those are even more gutting in This 103 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: young lady from she's diving for a Native Mexico, but 104 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: she's from North Carolina. She's won several national championships and 105 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: one dive. You all know this. She's not supposed to 106 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: have a lot of splash. She almost landed on her back, yes, 107 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: in her dive, huge splash. She gets out of the water. 108 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: As soon as her head comes up out of the water. 109 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: Her hand is in the air because she's asking for, 110 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 1: like you said, a do over. And we were I 111 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: don't know this young lady. My fingers were crossed. Please 112 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: give her a do over. Please. 113 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 2: My heart was actually beating, you know, so hard because 114 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 2: you're hoping that they're going to give for a second chance. 115 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 2: And they did. They did admit that they heard a noise, 116 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 2: but they said it was before she took off, not 117 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 2: in mid air. 118 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: So she got and I don't think i've seen this. 119 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: She got a zero. It was called a what a 120 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: failed dive? A failed dive all zero. She's essentially out. 121 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: Aroanza Basquez is her name. But it got me to 122 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: think about the noise thing in the Olympics that's been 123 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: an issue. It's funny that the gymnasts we were talking 124 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: about the other day they the. 125 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 2: Silence wasn't working for them. It doesn't work well, no, 126 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 2: it's it's too intimidating in a way because you know 127 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 2: everyone's looking at you. 128 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 1: So divers need dead silence. If not, I'm going to 129 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: ask for a do over. It's just and then, of course, golfers, 130 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: I mean tigers famous for cussing people out if you 131 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: just breathe it too hard if he's about to make 132 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: a shot. So it was the noise is interesting, but 133 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: another gut ranging moment in the Olympics this morning. What 134 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: else we watch? We got track and feel going today. 135 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: It's going to be a big day, but we got 136 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: an earlier start today, but I feel good. If anybody 137 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 1: hears any noise in the background, we gotta let you know. 138 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: We're sitting in our coffee table, not our coffee table, 139 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 1: but our dining table right now, and we're washing clothes. 140 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: So if you hear a little clunking in the background, 141 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: it's just us being domestic. 142 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 2: Yes, just a very loud washing machine. Unfortunately that we 143 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 2: can't do anything about right now. So oh and you 144 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 2: know what, we also want to just preview that we get. 145 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 2: We got to speak to a silver medallist, Hailey Batton. 146 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 2: She won in mountain biking and she is a joy 147 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 2: to listen to. And we can't wait to bring that 148 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 2: to you either today or tomorrow or next Just be 149 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 2: looking for it. Hailey Batton silver medalist, and she is. 150 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 2: I mean, I can't wait for you all to hear 151 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 2: just how she won, what she went through win, and 152 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 2: what she's up to now. 153 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 1: She was she jumps off the screen when you talked 154 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 1: to her. But we saw something really interesting, and I 155 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: know you all been paying attention, but this repechage that's 156 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: been happening in track and field, it played a part 157 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: in what we saw with an American sprinter who decided 158 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: to jog his entire race. We're talking about Freddy Crittnen. 159 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: He finished dead last in his one hundred and ten 160 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: meter hurdles. He't yesterday. He did this on purpose, and 161 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: he did this literally jogging down the track and then 162 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: he just gently kind of stepped over the hurdles. Clearly 163 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: he wasn't trying to compete. And yet this guy Robes 164 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: is still in the one hundred and ten meter hurdles final. 165 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 2: How did it happen? You ask, Well, if you've been 166 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 2: watching any track and field, you've heard the word repechage 167 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 2: thrown around. It's new to the Olympics this year. I 168 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 2: had to look it up. I did not know what 169 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 2: I was hearing, but basically it means as we're talking 170 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 2: about second chances, you actually do get a second chance, 171 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 2: and track and field runners who don't qualify out of 172 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 2: the preliminary rounds all get put into an extra race 173 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 2: for well, for lack of a better term, the losers, 174 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 2: the people who lost the race, then the winning losers 175 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 2: move on to the semifinals. 176 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: That's exactly right. So Freddy Kritnin took advantage of the system. 177 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: The dude has an injury that he was nursing, so 178 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: instead of going hard in the prelimbs, he just lost 179 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: on purpose, saved his energy, saved his body, knowing that 180 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: he would have a second chance in the repechage, and 181 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: sure enough he got an extra day of rest on 182 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: his body. He came back to the repechage, he ran 183 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: a good enough race to get into the semis. He's 184 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: now into the finals by taking advantage of a system. 185 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: People some people like it, some people don't, some people 186 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 1: love it, and some people absolutely hate the system. 187 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 2: Right now, yeah, but you know what, I look as 188 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 2: a runner and having nursed injuries, you're nursing one right now. 189 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 2: I understand. Man, If you're given that opportunity to rest 190 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 2: up an extra day, why wouldn't you take it. I 191 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 2: don't think he would have chosen you that, but why 192 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 2: not let the rules work for you if they're put 193 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 2: in place. So I don't fault him for it at all. 194 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: I don't, that's the rule. So but the other runners 195 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: would fault him because, hey, you just took a day off. 196 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: I now have to go run hard all these races 197 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: and you only had to run hard in one in 198 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: the repechage. I ran hard in my heat. I ran 199 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: hard in the repechage to try to make it. So 200 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: why should you have that kind of physical advantage over 201 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: me by gaming the system? That's not what it's for, 202 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: is one argument. 203 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I would just say that all of those 204 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 2: runners had the same opportunity to do just what he did. 205 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 1: Okay. Problem number two for the races is what you said. 206 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: A lot of them now are going to start, and 207 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: some have just saying, huh, the hell with it, I'll 208 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: take all if they're injured or not, They'll say I 209 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: don't even have to run hard in this one. So 210 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 1: now they are trying to get an advantage that's not 211 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: based on injury, but just based on you know what, 212 00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,079 Speaker 1: I'm probably not going to make it out of my heat. 213 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: I might as well say my for the you. 214 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 2: Also got to run a second race though, I mean, 215 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 2: even if you're lightly jogging it, you're still running a 216 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 2: second race. 217 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: He could have skipped down if he wanted to. 218 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 2: All right, I tried. I tried. 219 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: But if you think about like the eight hundred meter right, 220 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: if you have to run an extra eight hundred meters, 221 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: that's true, that is tough. And then so now some 222 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: guys make the repechage and don't show up for it 223 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: because I'm gonna save my body for my relay. I'm 224 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,719 Speaker 1: not gonna do well in this individual race. I'll save 225 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: it for my team relay. So then you have a 226 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: repechage round with only three lanes occupied because some runners 227 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: just don't show up for their repechage race because the 228 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: hell with it, I'll skip it. So it's not it 229 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: doesn't look good for the for the fan and the 230 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: stand to see two or three people, four or five 231 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: lean so they'll. 232 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 2: See it six. 233 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: Yeah. 234 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 2: I was like, we'll see what happens next Olympics. At 235 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 2: that they'll see whether or not it worked. Well. 236 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: It's to your point, when you want a second chance, 237 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: I didn't, I ran hard, didn't make it. You know what, 238 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: I got a second chance. 239 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 2: I love second chances that I like third chances sometimes too. 240 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 2: That's why it's so devastating for me to watch most 241 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 2: sports in the Olympics because the majority of them do 242 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,359 Speaker 2: not get a second chance. That's why I like skateboarding. 243 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 2: They get second and third chances. That makes it so 244 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 2: much better for me. Yeah, I just feel like, yay, 245 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 2: even if they messed up, they've got another shot. There's 246 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 2: something about that knowing there's hope on the other side 247 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 2: of a fall or something. I agree with you, it's 248 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 2: not typical. Speaking of skateboarding, we had a lot of 249 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 2: fun watching park skateboarding because I thought I like watching 250 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 2: skateboarding because they get second chances and third chances. It 251 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 2: makes me happy. 252 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: Have a difficult time with my transitions. 253 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 2: My transitions weren't as good as they almost always are. 254 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 2: So anyway, the oldest Olympian in any event is this 255 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 2: doesn't this makes a lot of sense in the equestrian events, 256 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 2: right because they're riding a horse. So some of the 257 00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 2: athletes in the equestrian events are sixty five, sixty two, 258 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 2: fifty nine, so you know they're up there. The event 259 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 2: with the youngest Olympians. This also makes sense, is the 260 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 2: aforementioned skateboarding a lot of teenagers. We mentioned the girl 261 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 2: yesterday from China who's just eleven years old. That's the 262 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 2: youngest competitor in these games. So when we tell you 263 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 2: that we watched a fifty one year old compete yesterday, 264 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 2: which of the two sports do you think he competed in? 265 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: Uh, Equestrian duh, Nope, nope, we got a fifty one 266 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: year old skateboarder. Yes, folks, fifty one years old. His 267 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 1: name is Andy McDonald, Oh McDonald, let's call him. He's 268 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: he's skating for Great Britain. He is now the oldest 269 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: person to ever compete in the Olympics and skateboarding. Now, 270 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 1: he is not new to the game, and he has 271 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 1: been around a while and some would even call him 272 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: a legend in this sport. But he's been skating one 273 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 1: dozens and dozens of X Games medals over the years, 274 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: but his first time competing in the Olympics and ropes. 275 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: I'm look, we've had a lot of fun. There's there's 276 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: few you can name you've had more joy watching compete 277 00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: than this dude. 278 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, we actually watched this in on separate TVs and 279 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 2: separate homes, but we were texting back and forth because 280 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 2: we were having so much fun watching him have so 281 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 2: much fun. He's actually an American. I think his father 282 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,079 Speaker 2: is from Great Britain, so he has a British passport. 283 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 2: Therefore he was able to compete four team Great Britain. 284 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 2: But you know what, he was impressive and he most importantly, 285 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 2: the smile on his face from start to finish was remarkable. 286 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 2: And I love seeing Tony Hawk in the stands just 287 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 2: going crazy cheering on his friend because they're buds from 288 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 2: way back. I mean, this dude started skating in nineteen 289 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 2: eighty five, I believe when he was competing, so that's 290 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 2: how long he's been competing. But he was just a 291 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 2: joy and a pleasure to watch, and I was rooting 292 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 2: him on. He didn't make the finals, couldn't have cared 293 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 2: less well. I don't think any of them did, to 294 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 2: my point, they're all so chill. But I just appreciated 295 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 2: his energy. It made me happy, It made me smile. 296 00:13:55,320 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: That was the Olympic spirit that he absolutely exuded. And 297 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: this is a sport. All of the ones on the 298 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: women's side at least that got medals fourteen, fifteen, and 299 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: sixteen with the ages Wow fourteen, fifteen and sixteen, and 300 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: as a fifty one year old still in that same 301 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: spoy this is a skateboard park, their street skate and 302 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: their skateboard park. Like our guy told us, just imagine 303 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: a swimming pool, empty swimming pool on crap. 304 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 2: That's exactly what it looked like. To and Keegan Palmer 305 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 2: of Australia, who won gold, I had I had chills 306 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 2: like the entire time watching him just fly up in 307 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 2: the air and do things that I would think were 308 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 2: impossible to do with a skateboard. And right behind him 309 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 2: was our Tom shar I say hour because he was 310 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 2: on the podcast, so he's one of us. He took silver, 311 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 2: and we were rooting on the other Gavin and Tate 312 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 2: and you know, we were just are just hoping so 313 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 2: much that they could get into metal contention, and they 314 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 2: got close. But there was so much talent there it 315 00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 2: was crazy. 316 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: I don't know how you can. I don't know how 317 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: these guys, you know what, Maybe they're built for it 318 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: in a way better than even some of the older athletes. 319 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: Maybe they're so young they say, oh I can. Probably 320 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: they're young, so they think they're invincible or I fearless 321 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: vacu later, or they're not, or it's just the culture 322 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: of skateboarding. They're all just It really looked like they 323 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: could give a shit if they want to metal or not. 324 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: I know that's not the case, but it looked like 325 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: they were just having a blast with their buddies in 326 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: the backyard. 327 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 2: That's what you hope for, right, I mean, if you're 328 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 2: doing something at this level, well you better love it 329 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 2: otherwise it's a painful thing to do. And they all 330 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 2: love it, which just I was so impressed. 331 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: So congrats to them. We want to give an update 332 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: about the river sind A lot of talk about it 333 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: and how nasty it is and dirty and polluted and 334 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: not safe to swim on some days. They had to 335 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: cancel some practices and move some dates with some events. Well, 336 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: one athlete who fell ill after swimming in the river 337 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: since says it was a virus and it was not 338 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: a coli in that water that made her sick. And 339 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: we've been talking about this and we mentioned this that 340 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: Belgium had to pull out of the mixed relay race 341 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: because Claire Michelle got sick after competing in the triathlon, 342 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: while she did put out a social media post saying 343 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: that she had contracted a virus not e coli. This 344 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: next part you want to read the quote because it 345 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,239 Speaker 1: gets into some specifics. 346 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 2: And now, well, you said, yeah, she was hospitalized. This 347 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 2: was serious. She said she had three days of vomiting 348 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 2: and diarrhea, which she says left her quite empty, and 349 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 2: she ended up needing more significant medical attention. So she 350 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 2: spent Sunday at the clinics slash hospital. So she I'm 351 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 2: sure it was getting ivy fluids and all of those things, 352 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 2: but she just wanted to clear it up because there 353 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 2: was so much conjecture that the sin had made her sick, 354 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 2: and she said blood tests proved that that was not 355 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 2: the cause of her illness. However, there have been a 356 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 2: couple other athletes who have been sick following that triathlon, 357 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 2: but no one's there's been no proof that any of 358 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 2: those illnesses are related to the sen specifically. I even 359 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 2: noticed with all of the talk about it, Shape magazine 360 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,719 Speaker 2: followed us and interviewed a microbiologist. I'm laughing. We've been 361 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,640 Speaker 2: talking to my dad, who's a microbiologist, giving us updates 362 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 2: about what equal like can do to the body and 363 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 2: if the river sin actually could cause problems for folks, 364 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 2: and he said unequivocally yes, if you swallow enough of that, 365 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 2: absolutely it's possible. 366 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: So, yes, we had the women. The women's marathon swim 367 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: was this morning. The men's is tomorrow. 368 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 2: Does that mean you're getting up at two point thirty 369 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 2: again tomorrow? 370 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: You know, I'll see what time the men's is. I'm 371 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: not sure what time theirs go, but yeah, I want 372 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: to check it out. It's a they do. And again 373 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: the triathletes, they only were in the water. They did 374 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 1: a mile, mile and a half swim. 375 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:42,400 Speaker 2: This is significantly. 376 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 1: This is a six mile two hours in the water. 377 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 2: Oh my. 378 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: So when you're watching it, every time you see them 379 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 1: take us you go. 380 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 2: You can you see them swallowing water? 381 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: I mean they have to be I'm not paying that 382 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: clothes of. 383 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,679 Speaker 2: Attention, but yeah, how could you not. 384 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 1: You're two hours swimming with your head in the sine. 385 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: So that one's tomorrow. Yes, I will be up and watching, but. 386 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 2: You let me know how it goes. I will be sleeping. 387 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: But even that, the commentators were saying this, they the swimmers, 388 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: they want to be in the sin they don't want 389 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 1: it to be nasty, but what a once in a 390 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 1: lifetime experience. And the fans have lined that river and 391 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: it looks other than the color of the water, the 392 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: scene looks. 393 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 2: Oh, it's stunning. I mean just the imagery when they've 394 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 2: got the camera shots of you know, the Eiffel Tower, 395 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 2: and it's amazing. 396 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 1: All right, but yes, I watched that. 397 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 2: You suffer a little bit for your sport. There you go. 398 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 2: You know what, this has been a story that we've 399 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 2: been following throughout and it's been an ugly, nasty story 400 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 2: out of the Olympics. But you know what, it is 401 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 2: close to having a double golden ending. Wouldn't that be 402 00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 2: something after all this? 403 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, finally see the two women who have been at 404 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 1: the middleless controversy. We don't know, boxers Amani Khalif of 405 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: Algeria and Lynn you Ting of Chinese Taipei. They are 406 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 1: in the gold medal match in their respective weight divisions, 407 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 1: and yeah, I applaud how given all they've dealt with 408 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,479 Speaker 1: the past. I think it's been a full week of this, 409 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 1: has it not. 410 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,959 Speaker 2: Perhaps it's motivated them, you know, sometimes that's the kind 411 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 2: of thing that gets you going. But if you don't, 412 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 2: I'm sure we don't have to update you, but just 413 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 2: a brief as much as I can briefly update you. 414 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 2: Both Khalif and you Ting have been accused of having 415 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 2: elevated levels of testosterone, and the International Boxing Association, which 416 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 2: is not an authority that the Olympics, the International Olympic 417 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 2: Committee is even acknowledging. In fact, they've been disqualified from 418 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 2: being a part of the Olympics. So there you go 419 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 2: in terms of credibility. But they've claimed that these women 420 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 2: have both an X and a Y chromosome, saying that 421 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 2: they were essentially intersex. Both of these women have said 422 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 2: they were born female. They are female. They have passports 423 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 2: and birth certificates to prove it. Sadly it got to 424 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 2: that point, but there are still people out there, of course, 425 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 2: who are questioning their gender eligibility to be competing in 426 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 2: a female boxing match, and. 427 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: Of course that's been a debate, a debate certainly this 428 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 1: country having to do with trans athletes. This is not 429 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: what this is. But all these things have kind of 430 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: gotten mixed up together and became a messing guy, really ugly. 431 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 1: But congratulations to them both. Len Uting's semi final and 432 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 1: both these women have kind of been dominating their opponents. 433 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: They have, they've had decent careers, pretty good careers, but 434 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: they have had a pretty magical run, so congrats to them. Unfortunately, 435 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: though len Uting's semifinal match, her opponent, I mean, the 436 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,959 Speaker 1: match went on, she won on all the judges cards, 437 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 1: but her opponent at the end, even after U teen 438 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:57,199 Speaker 1: leaves the leaves the ring, comes back, stands in the 439 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: center on her own and puts her fingers up and 440 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: makes kind of a double X, and many people took 441 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: that to say she's trying to signify that she's a 442 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: woman and trying to make that point that. 443 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 2: She's a woman and that linting is not right. And 444 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 2: that happened as well to Khalif with the woman she 445 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 2: faced from Hungary, who previously on social media was putting 446 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 2: out all of this hateful imagery. So they've both dealt 447 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 2: with this in the ring outside of the ring, but 448 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 2: they've got their heads on straight, so good for them. 449 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: Well, Friday and Saturday, those two will be fighting in 450 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: their championship matches, so check them out, all right. 451 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 2: So you know, typically when an athlete gets to a 452 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 2: gold medal match, you've got a gold medal on the line, 453 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 2: the worst case scenario for that athlete is that they 454 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 2: end up with the silver medal. But unfortunately, for India's 455 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 2: Venesh Fogat, weighing an extra three and a half ounces 456 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,400 Speaker 2: not only cost her the opportunity to bring home India's 457 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 2: first gold medal in wrestling, but it ended her entire 458 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 2: Olympic dream. You know, the New York Times, I love 459 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 2: put just for imagery to realize, Like, what's three and 460 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,880 Speaker 2: a half ounces? It's the way to a small banana 461 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 2: or three sizes of bread, or a deck of cards, 462 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 2: that's how much we're talking about. 463 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:10,199 Speaker 1: Or one of our alpha fly tennis shoes, one stick 464 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: of speed stick deodorant, one package of uncooked ramen. Now 465 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 1: the reason I know that is because I was going 466 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 1: around the house look at for stuff. 467 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 2: All these impressive impressive. But yeah, so that's what we're 468 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,639 Speaker 2: talking about. That's the weight in question. But according to 469 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 2: the United World Wrestling rules, if you do not make 470 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 2: weight after your second way in, you are eliminated from 471 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 2: the competition. You essentially your name goes last on a 472 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 2: leader board. And that's what happened to forgot. She was 473 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 2: set to face ten USA's Sarah Hildebrandt for gold, which 474 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 2: was her chance to become listen to this, the first 475 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 2: woman from India, that is the world's most populous nation 476 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 2: to win an Olympic gold medal in any event, I 477 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 2: think about all of that, what was on the line. 478 00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 2: So when her staff checked her weight before her weigh in, 479 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,160 Speaker 2: she had gained three pounds from replenishing after her last 480 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 2: three matches, which she handily won. And apparently that's pretty typical. 481 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,199 Speaker 2: So these athletes know what they do. They have their 482 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 2: usual strategies for cutting these pounds. It's nothing out of 483 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 2: the ordinary. So she stayed up all night. She was 484 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 2: on the treadmill, she was going to the sauna, back 485 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 2: and forth, back and forth. It didn't work. She was 486 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 2: losing weight but not enough, so her team doctor said 487 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 2: quote they tried all possible drastic measures throughout the night, 488 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 2: including cutting off her hair and shortening her clothes, but 489 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 2: to no avail. There have been other outlets who have 490 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 2: said they've done even more extreme things. That's I can't 491 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 2: confirm that, so I'm not going to report it. But 492 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 2: they fell one hundred grams short, or three and a 493 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 2: half ounces. Prime Minister of India tweeting this to their athlete, Vanish, 494 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 2: you are a champion among champions, your India's pride and 495 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 2: an inspiration for each and every Indian. But she was 496 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 2: crushing it like she beat the former Olympic champion, the 497 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 2: former world champion. I mean she was and like handily, 498 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 2: like it wasn't even a question. So she was expected 499 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 2: to win gold because she was disqualified. Well, team USA 500 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 2: got the gold, and so congratulations to Sarah. But it 501 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 2: certainly came at a large cost. 502 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,399 Speaker 1: No, look, you wanted far and square. I'm sure the 503 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,479 Speaker 1: American didn't want to win it that way. But you 504 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,439 Speaker 1: win it fair and square because far and square are 505 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 1: part of it is making weight. Yeah, and you see 506 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: this in obviously boxing they take this very seriously because 507 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 1: if you have any weight, I wait, advantage over your opponent, 508 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: that is a problem. It's not a fair fight. And 509 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: I don't know how this happens because I have been 510 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 1: around boxers and fighters over many many years. Them dudes 511 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: know exactly what to do to make sure they make weight, 512 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,439 Speaker 1: and they just this. This should not happen in a 513 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 1: major event like no, no, no, no, no, I don't 514 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: know how that happened. And this isn't a fluke thing 515 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: like a scratch or disqualification of this. I don't know 516 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: how you're not ready to go to your goal metal map. 517 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 2: That's devastating. Well, she so also she was. She did 518 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 2: qualify in a in a lower than her normal body weight. 519 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,479 Speaker 2: She had worked really hard to get down. I think 520 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 2: it's about one hundred and ten pounds and she was 521 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 2: at one hundred and seventeen. So anyway, she had done 522 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,360 Speaker 2: the work to qualify for a lower weight and that 523 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 2: ended up biting her. 524 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: I just said, somebody let her down. Yeah, I mean, 525 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: that's just you cannot miss out on a gold medal 526 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: because of the most basic of things do in fighting. 527 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 2: A deck of cards or a package of ramens that. 528 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: Little I've seen. They dehydrate, they starve, they put on 529 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: those big plastic suits, they go to saunas them do 530 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 1: whatever it takes. I just don't get it, and it sucks. Sucks, 531 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 1: sucks for her that you make the gold medal match 532 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,439 Speaker 1: and not even allowed to fight. 533 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 2: Any I know. It was so much history on the 534 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,199 Speaker 2: line too. Yeah, that's a tough one. Well, we are 535 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 2: watching so many fun events today as we have been 536 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 2: every day.

Got smoked. China won the heat. 558 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 2: We saw it was remarkable smoked and you were saying 559 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 2: they were precise in their handoffs and that matters. 560 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: Didn't have to be the fastest guys they had to 561 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: be the most efficient guys in those handoffs, and they 562 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: crossed first.
