11
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 3: pregnancy policy news.

00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 2: I love a pregnancy policy.

13
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 3: You do love a pregnancy policy.

14
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: I'm so here for it because it's just it's the

15
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: next step in the things. We'll discuss them later. I

16
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: won't get my excitement out now. My name is Chloe Dalton.

17
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 1: I'm joined every week on the show by my co

18
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: host Bez. We are recording on gadigall Land. Hey, before

19
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: we take a look around the grounds, you and I've

20
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: got some new T.

21
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 2: Shirts on you.

22
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 3: How Good's new merch?

23
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 2: How good is new merch?

24
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: We have actually brought back the equal tea for long

25
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: time t FAT fans and listeners. You'll remember from the

26
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: Tokyo Paralympics in twenty twenty one, where we launched the

27
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,199
Speaker 1: Equal T shirt. We raised over one hundred thousand dollars

28
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: that we donated to the Paralympions off the back of

29
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: finding out that they don't receive equal metal bonuses. We

30
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: saw Scott Morrison during question time announced that the Paralympions

31
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: would be receiving equal metal bonuses. In Tokyo, we've brought

32
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: back the Equal T, the limited edition Equal T in

33
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: our three A M Club colors. You can pre order

Speaker 1: to Paralympics Australia.

39
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 3: Cannot stress enough that you need to get on this now.

40
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 3: This will be a very short and sharp pre order.

Speaker 1: And please then don't message afterwards and say you missed out.

42
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 3: Just do it. You don't think about it, don't see

43
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 3: it and think y'all get to that, see it and

44
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 3: do it.

45
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: See it and do it, folks. Let's take a look

46
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 2: around the grounds.

47
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 3: In n ERLW. The brism Broncos have set a new

48
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 3: club record as they handed a thrashing to their fellow

49
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 3: Queensland as a Gold Coast Titan forty four to four

50
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 3: ouch ouch can We fern Senta Mille Whufunger did much

51
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 3: of the damage with the four try effort, which equaled

52
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 3: her club record mark set last year. She is damaging

53
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 3: with the law to give her. Ali Bragenaw Brigganshaw was

54
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 3: at her playmaking best. She laid on to assist. The

55
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 3: Broncos had a new player on the wing, Stacy Walker.

56
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: She's the smiling assassin.

57
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 3: Two weeks after winning Gold Gosh, she.

58
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: Didn't have long off, did she. I don't think she'd

59
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: be there that soon, although the NROW season doesn't go

60
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: for that long, so she probably had to.

61
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 3: I'm sure it was in the contract that she signed.

62
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 3: Regardless of what you do, you're going to have to

63
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 3: be here by this day.

64
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: No closing ceremony for her, no, and.

65
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 3: I think when you look at some of the other

66
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 3: Black Ferns girls on boats in Italy oh Rough Rough. Anyway,

67
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 3: Stacy Walker did show her skills out there on the field,

68
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: killed it. The win was the Broncos first of the season,

69
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 3: marking the three time premiership winners biggest ever nerw victory

70
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 3: in hockey.

71
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: Australia's female hockey players have had their funding restored leading

72
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: into the twenty twenty eight Olympics after what was a

73
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: forty five percent pay cut and the lead up to Paris.

74
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 2: That's rough, isn't it.

75
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 3: It's very rough.

76
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: The funding cut saw Australia's female hockey players only able

77
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: to assemble again in a centralized Perth training environment this

78
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: year after two years apart in state squads. They were

79
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: paid just over one hundred dollars per week. While in

80
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: that decentralized environment with coach Triny power support stuff also slashed.

81
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: While the Kookaburras, the men's side, trained together in Perth,

82
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: Australian women's returned to their states, then came together in

83
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: Olympic camps ahead of major tournaments.

84
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: I hadn't actually realized.

85
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: I'd heard a lot about the lack of pay and funding,

86
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: but I hadn't realized how dire it was in terms

87
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: of like training camps and getting paid one hundred dollars

88
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: a week.

89
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 3: I think it's not uncommon in those kind of environments

90
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 3: that you do have those satellite camps set up. But

91
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 3: I'm here to say having witnessed it. It doesn't work.

92
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: It doesn't work.

93
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: But it's also rough when you have had a centralized

94
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: training environment for a long time and then it gets

95
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: taken away.

96
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: That's pretty rough.

97
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 3: I don't take the toys.

98
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: The pre Olympic squad was also cut from twenty seven

99
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: to twenty two athletes as a result of a subpart

100
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: Tokyo campaign, with a twenty twenty one independent review into

101
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: a toxic culture of bullying and poor culture also factoring

102
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: into that AIS assessment. But an improved culture and better

103
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: results including a bronze at the twenty twenty two World Cup,

104
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: have seen that funding improved leading into the LA twenty

105
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: twenty eight cycle. I think what's pretty rough about this

106
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: situation is that they've done this report that's found a

107
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: toxic culture of bullying, and then they've said to the players, oh,

108
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry to hear you've been bullied.

109
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: Let's cut your funding further.

110
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 3: Doesn't make a lot of sense, does it.

111
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: I would think you need more funding, more mental health support,

112
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: more well being support.

113
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, a loping wage, like a.

114
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 3: Larger support staff. Yeah, probably ke that.

115
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 2: It doesn't make a lot of sense.

116
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 3: None.

117
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 2: None.

118
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 3: In some football news, mainly some pregnancy policy years which

119
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 3: Chloe loves. Italian soccer giants AC Milan have introduced a

120
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 3: new maternity policy which will guarantee automatic contract renewals for

121
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 3: players who become pregnant in the final year of their deals.

122
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 2: Love that here for it.

123
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 3: Measures will see contracts automatically extended on the same economic

124
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 3: terms for players if their deal is due to expire

125
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: during the season in which the pregnancy started. Players will

126
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 3: also receive assistance with childcare during sports activities, and get

127
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 3: support for flights, accommodation and other travel expenses for their

128
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 3: children and a companion. According to Fieff Bros. Twenty seventeen

129
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 3: Women's Global Employment Report, a global study on working conditions

130
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 3: in women's soccer, only two percent of female players interviewed

131
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 3: across four continents had children, and forty seven percent so

132
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 3: that they would leave the sport to start a family.

133
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 2: Forty seven percent is a lot.

134
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 3: That's a lot. It's nearly half.

135
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: We can do maths here.

136
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: It's interesting, though, I mean that whole thing in their

137
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 3: final year.

138
00:05:59,000 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 2: I love that.

139
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 3: It's kind of saying we don't think that you It's

140
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 3: supporting the fact that we want you to return to

141
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 3: the game because I think oftentimes, like you said it

142
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 3: leave that forty seven percent would leave the sport to

143
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 3: start a family. Female athletes do not have to stop

144
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 3: playing after having a child. It's been proven time and

145
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 3: time again. I mean, look at Jess Chain and Grow

146
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 3: amazing thirteenth, so good the marathon, She's got a sixteen

147
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 3: month old, good on her crazy.

148
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 2: Very very cool.

149
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: And I know you're kind of laughing at me about

150
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: how excited I get about pregnancy policies, but we've seen

151
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: a real shift in working conditions and pay, and I

152
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 1: think the pregnancy policy is another layer of protection and

153
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: security for female athletes in their sporting careers. I agree

154
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: it's time to debrief Olympics. Hey, before we get into

00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: social was engaging with us part of the three Am club.

162
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: It was a really cool way to bring the community

163
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: together for something that was pretty rough getting up a

164
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: lot of the time in the middle of the night.

165
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 2: I love your own in the lounge dream a lot

166
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 2: of the time.

167
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 3: I love that. I loved that part of it, the

168
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 3: element of feeling like you're a team watching the team.

169
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 3: M hmm, probably my.

170
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 2: Favorite part here for that BEARZ have got Have you got?

171
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 2: Top three?

172
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 3: Are we gonna like tennis? This back and forth? I'm

173
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 3: gonna go first. Yeah, Okay, it might be a bit

174
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 3: ordinary because A it's most recent and B it was

175
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 3: my pick beforehand, But.

176
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it needs to be yours. I'll give it.

177
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 3: The opals were just a roller coaster of Olympic emotions. Yes,

178
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 3: I felt bereft after that Nigeria game. I was mordified.

179
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 3: I thought, oh, way, not good. Even said we were terrible,

180
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 3: and then yeah, we just slowly got better and better.

181
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 3: I mean the semi final again America unfortunately wasn't our

182
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 3: best game, and as Sandy Brondela said after that game,

183
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 3: like we had to be our best and get them

184
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 3: on a day when they probably weren't at their best

185
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 3: to win, and that didn't happen. However, last night, obviously

186
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 3: we're recording on Monday, the bronze medal match against the

187
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 3: quality Belgium side, which pushed America all the way in

188
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 3: the semi. Sorry not, they didn't play American, so they

189
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 3: pushed them in the pool game and went to overtime

190
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 3: with France and the semi.

191
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 2: America in the semi.

192
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 3: Yeah they Yeah, I thought I kept feeling comfortable. We

193
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 3: got up by kind of eight nine here and there,

194
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 3: and then the Belgian would come back. Anyway, I was

195
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 3: just super excited to see what is a really amazing

196
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 3: I feel like group of athletes get some reward. And

197
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 3: obviously l J Sho didn't play a lot of minutes,

198
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 3: but I can only imagine the support that she provided

199
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 3: to that team behind closed doors.

200
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 2: Also, I think we've got a podcast with LJ dropping

201
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 2: this Thursday.

202
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 3: How convenience.

203
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: Oh, I love that and I love it. After that,

204
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 1: Yeah you do. My my favorite moment. I think it's

205
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: it's tough to say, but no Ami Fox I almost

206
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: called a no Ami.

207
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 3: Cross the Kaiak Foxy. That's true with the Kayak Fox Kayaks. Also,

208
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 3: can someone help us out here? Does the Penrith Whitewater

209
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 3: Stadium have a name, and if it doesn't, it needs

210
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 3: to be Fox Stadium or Fox White Waters or whatever

211
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 3: it might be. Because I'm sorry, those girls own the

212
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 3: sport in this country.

213
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: But do we need to petition for that?

214
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 3: Absolutely continue, I.

215
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: Think we need to make yeah, I heard her here first,

216
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: let's make it happen change or petition at Penrith.

217
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 3: We already called that, but anyway, can you look it up?

218
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: While we discussed, it was just that sport if you

219
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: haven't watched it, because we know some people are watching

220
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: in the middle of the night, some people watching replays,

221
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: But if you haven't seen it, it's awesome.

222
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 2: The sport.

223
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: It's just like they go and crash and bash and

224
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: when someone is like trying to spin around to go

225
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: up the upstream gate and then someone comes down and

226
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: knocks them out of the way.

227
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 2: It's why I'm sorry.

228
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 3: It's just called the Penrith White Water Stadium. Yourself, as government,

229
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 3: we're coming for you.

230
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 2: How good is that? So she just was, She just

231
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 2: was dominant the whole way through, and it was her moment.

232
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 3: I think it's interesting too. I love Obviously living in

233
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 3: living in a shadow is pretty rough. It has a

234
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 3: negative connotation but I don't think when your sister's Jess Fox,

235
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 3: you're probably used to it. But for more reports, she's

236
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 3: also exceptional at those single events. But we can only

237
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 3: qualify one person. So she was like, all right, I'm

238
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 3: going to have a crack. I'm going to have a

239
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 3: crack here at the Bash them Up Derby event. She

240
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 3: killed it.

241
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 2: It was it's made for her. It's so good. Okay,

242
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 2: number two for you.

243
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 3: I'm going to go Nina Kennedy.

244
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 2: Oh I wanted that one. Fine, you can give me

245
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 2: share it.

246
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 3: I think that Nana Kennedy one was amazing obviously for

247
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 3: her performance. I just found in your respects and I've

248
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 3: seen it before. I understand povo and field events in

249
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 3: general at a track and field meat, but I was

250
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 3: blown away. It started at two fifteen, I think, who

251
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 3: was the she n at five thirty in the morning.

252
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I felt like it was closer to six am,

253
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: and I was like, wow, I thought we were waking

254
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: up for about an hour here and it was about

255
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: four hours. O.

256
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 3: That was a hard Well. I didn't go back to sleep.

257
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 3: I know you probably had a little nap.

258
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: Back tried for about half an hour.

259
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I just the respect I have for

260
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 3: those athletes, and oftentimes they'd be lined up ready to poll.

261
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 2: And poll it's definitely what they say.

262
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did a poll, ready to vault, probably, and

263
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 3: they'd be like, oh, hang on a second, we're about

264
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 3: to start a race. Oh hang on, there's something else happening.

265
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 3: I just a mad respect for those athletes that have

266
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 3: to actually stay focused but not too focused and be

267
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 3: able to switch on and off. Obviously, four point nine meters.

268
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 3: She was amazing, and I think I loved what she

269
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 3: said afterwards about how she was super vulnerable by coming

270
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 3: out in the media before the event saying I want

271
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 3: to win God, I don't want to share anymore. And

272
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 3: she did it.

273
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, she did.

274
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 3: That's off, Nina.

275
00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: I'm actually quite happy for you to take Nina, because

276
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: I do Jess Whole. Because I sat with tears rolling

277
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: down my face. I was, yeah, I didn't get up

278
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: to watch this.

279
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 2: One in the land room. I was watching on my

280
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 2: phone in bed, the Jess Whole one, and.

281
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: So I was like silent yelling, silent yelling and silent crying.

282
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 2: It was so beautiful.

283
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: Jess Hull has had such an exceptional season and it

284
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: was kind of that thing of can she pull it

285
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: together for that moment?

286
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 2: And I just felt like the way I have.

287
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: No idea about the strategy behind a fifteen hundred meter race,

288
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: but it just felt like I was watching her and

289
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: I was like, she is in control. She got herself

290
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: up to the front, and then when Faith would go,

291
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: she was like, I'm coming with you, and it didn't

292
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: look like she was ever lost. I got, you know,

293
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: I get a bit scared that they might get boxed in,

294
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: and she was.

295
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 3: Liked an English girl. Girl came late.

296
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: She came late the American girls in the way way

297
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: Jess Hull needs to do a medal.

298
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 3: And I think that we need to understand that a

299
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 3: silver behind Faith keep Jagon, it's.

300
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: Pretty much a gold is exactly. Faith is so incredible third.

301
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 3: Fifteen hundred gold medal. Only other athlete to do that

302
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 3: on the track is someone called Usain Bolt. Heard of him?

303
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 2: Now I got to watch obviously, when is what all?

304
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: Right?

305
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 3: Here we go?

306
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 2: Sorry?

307
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 3: I think he was in one hundred meters, not the

308
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 3: fifteen hundred meters though, Are you going to go in

309
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 3: the fifteen hundred meters about as well as you go

310
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 3: in hockey? I reckon Okay, bye hockey.

311
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 2: Okay, favorite you're to wrap us up.

312
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: Favorite global moment, A bit of a bit of a

313
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 1: shout out to the.

314
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 3: I was obsessed with Simone Biles during this Olympics and

315
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 3: it's been sixteen days and it feels like weeks ago

316
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 3: that she was tumbling her way around that arena. But yeah,

317
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 3: I obviously watched the Netflix doco, all the half of

318
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 3: it that they've released so far. And yeah, again, the

319
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 3: vulnerability that she's put out there in the world, the

320
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 3: honesty to then go and compete, having you know, really

321
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 3: laid bare. What what happened to her in Tokyo. Yeah,

322
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 3: I get goosebump justinking about it now. I just think

323
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 3: she was an amazing story and I can't wait for

324
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 3: the next two episodes.

325
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 2: Rate that.

326
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to say Stefan Hassan getting it done in

327
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: the marathon taking out that gold medal, so she it

328
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: was quite iconic. She ran the five thousand meters, ten

329
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: thousand meters and the marathon all within the space of

330
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: ten days or something absurd.

331
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 3: Oh less five days? Six days?

332
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: Was that? Including the heats for the five Yeah?

333
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 3: I think so well? Is that in the second week

334
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 3: it was anyway.

335
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 2: Whatever it was, let's go with the week.

336
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: Bronze in the five k, bronze in the ten k,

337
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: and then gold in the marathon in an Olympic record time,

338
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: and it meant that she won has now across two

339
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: Olympic Games, has won gold in each three of those events.

340
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 3: There's so many stories about her. She obviously won gold

341
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 3: at Tokyo for the five thousand and ten thousand. In Tokyo,

342
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 3: she actually run the round the fifteen hundred meters as well.

343
00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 3: What kind of athlete says not? Maybe old, Maybe I'll

344
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 3: swap an event, I'll go from the fifteen hundred to

345
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 3: the marathon, like.

346
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 2: Really feels sick.

347
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 3: And then she just come out and when gold and

348
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 3: that obviously she changed her training, so she's probably a

349
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 3: little bit less ridiculously fast than the five and ten

350
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 3: but amazing. And that was actually so exciting to see

351
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 3: those five athletes with only a few kilometers ago, all

352
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 3: running together and then obviously the last probably eight hundred

353
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 3: meters sprint eth the Opian athlete and her to be

354
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 3: shouldering each other around the corners.

355
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 2: Who what a finish, What a finish? How good? Let's

356
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 2: take a look at the key story.

357
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 3: So we're back, obviously, little hiatus, and what have we

358
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 3: got a survey? We got a survey.

359
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 2: We love stats, We love data. We love surveys because we.

360
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 3: Love listening to the people.

361
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we love cold hard or gold hard evidence.

362
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: Did you like that?

363
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 2: Thank you? I thought so it was pretty good. It's

364
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 2: gone from good to pretty good.

365
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 3: So the latest edition of the Price Waterhouse Cooper's annual

366
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 3: Global Sports Survey has revealed that eighty five percent of

367
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 3: sports experts are predicting double digit growth for women's sports

368
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 3: revenues over the next three to five years. Pretty good, ROI.

369
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: And we're talking double digit percentage growth right, Like, we're

370
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: not talking about women's for increasing by ten dollars.

371
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 3: Just ten dollars. But if you buy an equal to

372
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 3: we'll give ten dollars your Paralympics.

373
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: Hey, she's back, folks, She's not sleep deprived this morning.

374
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 3: I am go on.

375
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: Four hundred and eleven experts across forty six countries were

376
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: surveyed about what they believe will help aid and facilitate

377
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: this growth. Here's an interesting one. In twenty twenty four,

378
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: despite women making up approximately forty percent of all participants

379
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: in sports, we've got an adjusted number, so it's fifteen

380
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: percent of media coverage. So this number in twenty eighteen

381
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: was four percent, So people, again the OGT fat fans

382
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: might remember that that was kind of one of the

383
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: reasons almost for starting to part of the Y part

384
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: of the Y. And this increase from four to fifteen

385
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,359
Speaker 1: percent has been driven by the growth of streaming services

386
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: and social media. And we know that women's sports fans

387
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: are fluid fans and have to access it in different ways.

388
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 3: To attract new audiences to women's sport, this is what

389
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 3: the experts said. We need increased promotion, advertising and ticket prices. Yes, obviously,

390
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 3: we need to emphasize lied live broadcasting of events and

391
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 3: enhance the match day experience. I love that those three

392
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 3: things are pretty key things that happen I think by

393
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 3: default for men.

394
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: Yes, and they've got the improved athletes storytelling piece as well,

395
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: which what we love. The report states by sharing authentic

396
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: personal stories on diverse platforms, athletes can engage audiences, foster loyalty,

397
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: and inspire the next generation. In turn, this drives higher

398
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: attendance at events, increase viewership, and a larger fan base,

399
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: which attracts more investment and sponsorship opportunities. Can we talk

400
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 1: about Alonama? How many followers is she up to now?

401
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: Last time I checked, it was two point four mel

402
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: She went in with six hundred.

403
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 3: K with a fair following. Yeah she's a female athlete.

404
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, she had a number of one hundred thousand followers,

405
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: but she wasn't at a meal yet. And I remember

406
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,199
Speaker 1: her posting early in the Olympics campaign that she'd hit

407
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: a meal and she's now into multiple millions. She dominated

408
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: the socials over the Olympics, and she actually got so

409
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: many people every single post of hers I saw posts

410
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: of together across the whole range of platforms. People in

411
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: the comment section saying thank you Alona mar for introducing

412
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: me to rugby.

413
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 3: Yes, interesting one. So obviously we lost the bronze medal

414
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 3: match to the Americans. The silver lining of that absolute

415
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 3: heartbreak which I probably took a few days to recover

416
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 3: from you perfectly honest. Yeah, oh yeah, same was that

417
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 3: outpouring of enthusiasm for rugby in America.

418
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 2: Yeah for sure.

419
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 3: And when it comes down to it, America does control

420
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 3: a lot of the dollars when we talk about these partnerships.

421
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 3: So to see someone like a Lona Mar help promote

422
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 3: this game in one of the biggest, probably the biggest

423
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 3: sporting market in the world. That's off to it. She's

424
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 3: killed it.

425
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: Actually, this is probably perfect got our producers so for

426
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: nailing this alone of Mar example, because the social media

427
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: piece flows onto the people are getting engaged with the sport.

428
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: Off the back of that, Michelle King has now invested.

429
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 3: Four million dollars over four years.

430
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: Into women's rugby in America. Like it's the perfect example.

431
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: It's just copy it everyone around the world. Copy paste done.

432
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: I've solved it great and our work here is done.

433
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 2: Done. Let's take a look at what to watch in NROLW.
