Speaker 4: just the aversary in the stadium after he cleared that
Speaker 4: six meters twenty five was a great thing to be
Speaker 4: a part of.
Speaker 2: And over the last couple of days watching a lot
Speaker 2: of the pole vaulting. Obviously, another moment in the at
Speaker 2: the Olympics was the man who sadly didn't get a
Speaker 2: gold medal because his genitals gott gotten the way, Has

Speaker 2: have cleared seven.
Speaker 3: It wasn't for my nutsack, they told me.
Speaker 1: So, Steve, what can we look forward to?
Speaker 2: It's obviously about half ten in the evening Paris time now,
Speaker 2: so it's the end of today. But what's coming up
Speaker 2: during the next twenty four hours? And what a lovely
Speaker 2: time of the day to start doing another cross as well?
Speaker 2: To a radio station in Australia, is ten thirty in
Speaker 2: the evening as you're getting ready for bed.
Speaker 4: More like eleven thirty, But that's fine. Who's counting. We're tomorrow.
Speaker 4: We've got women's javelin qualifying. We've got the gold medal hope.
Speaker 4: I believe McKenzie would ale in that, So she gets
Speaker 4: underway tomorrow, so does man's high jump. And in the
Speaker 4: evening we've got gold medals up for grabs to Matt
Speaker 4: Denny in the discus and Nina Kennedy in the poll bot.
Speaker 1: Now, Jackie boy, you know Matt Denny you played golf.
Speaker 3: I played one round of golf with Matt Denny Knightholser,
Speaker 3: not even a full round, but I could tell just
Speaker 3: by the way he swung the club that he knew
Speaker 3: something about moving an object around his body like he will.
Speaker 1: And he goes got a golf swing. There's a three
Speaker 1: to sixteen. He just rotates in the pain.
Speaker 4: He can hit a long ball, can't he, Jackie.
Speaker 3: He actually used to do long drive competitions, did he really?
Speaker 3: Before he started playing golf proper.
Speaker 1: So you think he's a gold medal contender.
Speaker 4: He is. And he's also got a putting green in
Speaker 4: his in his dorm, so he's putting between throwing the disc.
Speaker 3: Where everyone else is complaining about not even able to
Speaker 3: sleep on beds out of Cardboardy he built a putting
Speaker 3: green in his room.
Speaker 1: I feel sorry for whoever he's sharing with.
Speaker 2: Please I need I'm competing at six am.
Speaker 4: And he's sharing with Brannon Stark is high jumping to Mirow,
Speaker 4: So they're both on the same days, so they're probably
Speaker 4: just just a bit of a pre match warm up
Speaker 4: on the putting green. It'd be nice for both of them.
Speaker 1: Now, Steve, does that right? Is that right? Do a
Speaker 1: lot of the athletes share rooms together?
Speaker 2: Do they have to because obviously there's so many athletes
Speaker 2: there from around the world, they've.
Speaker 1: Got to share.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's pretty common, and you'll often get someone that
Speaker 4: you click with and that you love to share a
Speaker 4: room with and your personalities match and you compliment each other,
Speaker 4: and you know what can be a pretty intense situation.
Speaker 4: So yeah, Matt, Matt, Denny and Brandon stuff the high jumper.
Speaker 4: They regularly share together and in fact I believe their
Speaker 4: wives both have an Airbnb and they're sharing together outside
Speaker 4: the village.
Speaker 3: No proper non cardboard bed, Steve, who is your roommate?
Speaker 1: Were at the Olympics?
Speaker 4: I was very lucky accident. I've roomed with my best
Speaker 4: mate Brendan Cole. We went away, I had first team
Speaker 4: together in high school. Were really good mates and then
Speaker 4: he made his personal big team where he was thirty
Speaker 4: one in London in twenty twelve and we got the
