1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Jum mission with Jones and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 2: Let's talk about Simone Biles. She went into the Games

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 2: as the best gymnast in the world, the goat, as

4
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 2: they say, American gymnast, and.

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: The whole leotard that actually said that on it because

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: she was going to say that to all the haters,

7
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: that she's the goat.

8
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 2: Why would she have haters? I think anyone in the public.

9
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 1: Eye, everyone's got haters. Mother Teresa had haters.

10
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: Actually she had some very specific political haters.

11
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: But you think being.

12
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 2: No, it's been a tough journey for Simone. She completely

13
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 2: missed timed her opening vault, so the whole world's looking

14
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 2: to see how she's going to go. All the promos

15
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: she's on tomorrow at this time, it's time. It's time.

16
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: She missed timed her opening vault and scored quite poorly,

17
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: and then she withdrew. She doesn't withdrew withdrewn withdrawn from

18
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: the Games, that she may still compete in some later things.

19
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 2: The USA Gymnastics team said medical issue, and she came

20
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 2: forward and said, it's not a medical injury injury, it's

21
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 2: a mental health injury. It's an injury to my pride.

22
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 2: She said, it's just me in my head. I have

23
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 2: to focus on my mental health and not jeopardize my

24
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: health and well being. We have to protect our body

25
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: and our mind. It sucks when you're fighting your own

26
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: head and this is what we underestimate with our Olympians

27
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: and Ian Thorpe has spoken about this and we talk

28
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 2: about it a lot more. Now is the mental health

29
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 2: strength you need and the toilet takes when you're fighting

30
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 2: your own head. It'd be so so hard. Piers Morgan,

31
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 2: of course has come out vida. Can you imagine? He said,

32
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: a mental health issue is now the go to excuse

33
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: for poor performance in elite sport. Because he also go

34
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 2: at Naomi Saka. He said, what a joke. Admit you

35
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: did badly, you made mistakes, strive to do better next time.

36
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: Kidney kids need strong role models, not this nonsense.

37
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: BB be the first person as she was on the decline.

38
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: If she kept going back and and failing, he'd say, well,

39
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: she's lost it.

40
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: Well, this is the issue for an athlete. She they're saying,

41
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: keep going, keep going. But if it's like working with

42
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: an injury, you have to then excuse or you want

43
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: the world to know why you're not doing well. He

44
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 2: is why she just felt she just wasn't up to

45
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: She can completely injure it herself too.

46
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: Well, that's the other thing. But what she did after

47
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: that when she withdrew, and I guess a lot of

48
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: people didn't see that she was supporting a team. She

49
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: came back, she was getting the chalk for the guys,

50
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: she was cheering them on, So she was she was

51
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: still the team. She was still part of the team.

52
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: But I totally get the mental part of that. You know,

53
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: you look at great sportsmen in the world. They get

54
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 1: to a point where they just can't do it anymore,

55
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: and a dangerous sport. I always remember Mick Dawn when

56
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: he was riding. There was a point where Mick Doran

57
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: had broken his legs so badly. They'd adjusted the motorbike

58
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: so because he couldn't use the rear brake anymore, so

59
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: he had to break front break and rear brake on

60
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: the handlebars of his motorbike. Then his leg was broken

61
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: so bad they were saying, we're going to have to

62
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: chop your other leg off, and then a doctor said,

63
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: what we're going to do is sew your two legs together,

64
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: so the good leg will feed blood into the bad leg.

65
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: And Mick had a race coming up, and he still

66
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: went on and did the surgery. He did that and

67
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: got his legs joined together. It all worked separated, and

68
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: then he went on to win. And then people say, oh,

69
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: why did you retire? You think, well, I don't want

70
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: to die anymore. It gets to a point where you

71
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: just don't want to want to die.

72
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: As Simone says, here, we're at the end of the

73
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: day where people and sometimes you have to step back.

74
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 2: I didn't want to go out and do something stupid

75
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: and get hurt.

76
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: And she also, well, Stephen Hooker, the pole volter, heard

77
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: the same thing.

78
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 2: Imagine injuring yourself pole vaulting.

79
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, we give that giant pole. It's about six meters long,

80
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: and you were jumping six meters into the air, and

81
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: if you.

82
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: Don't have confidence in your ability, really tough. All eyes

83
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 2: have also been on Biles and this has been tough.

84
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: We know the story of the USA gymnastics team doctor

85
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: Larry Nassa, who sexually molested no that's right, yeah, and

86
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: was inappropriate with hundreds of girls in USA gymnastics. Simone

87
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 2: Biles is the only survivor of sexual abuse of that

88
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: scandal that is still competing and apparently in an interview

89
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: she gave before the Olympics began, she's admitted that the

90
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 2: postponement of the games really weighed on her. So the

91
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 2: fact that she had to still be part of the team,

92
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 2: still be in this head game for another year nearly

93
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 2: broke her. And then to have all that and the

94
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 2: eyes of the world on you to be the best,

95
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 2: it's absolutely tough. And it's so interesting that more and

96
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 2: more athletes are saying, hey, sorry, it's my mental health.

97
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: I know I'm not right.

98
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: And Piers Morgan's of that old school brigade. Yeah, And

99
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: also the sporting is a mental challenge.

100
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 2: It's physical and mental player.

101
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: They're lining up to kick the ball through the goals

102
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: and everyone's booing them. How much press is that?

103
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 2: And that's what the Olympics is is you have to

104
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: try and be it your best in all capacities on

105
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: that day. That's what it's about. So hot, so bit

106
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 2: of sympathy as we watch them, I reckon and an

107
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 2: extra cheer for those that you know, and we say, oh,

108
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 2: they didn't meddle kidding, they actually went to the Olympics

109
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,119
Speaker 2: and did their best. Well, that's another way of talking

110
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 2: about it. Jonesy and Amanda's gamation
