1
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: Welcome to The Wrap, a weekly podcast covering women's sports news.

2
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: My name is Chloe Dalton. I'm a Giant's AFLW player

3
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: and an Olympic gold medalist in rugby sevens, and every

4
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: week I'm joined by my co host Bez, who this

5
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: week has forgotten to bring her microphone, so we're sitting

6
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: very close together. She had a big weekend after the

7
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: SUPERW Grand Final, unfortunately a loss, but we'll get into

8
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: the details of that later.

9
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 2: She brought baked goods instead.

10
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 3: I've got such a reputation for the baked goods now

11
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 3: that I feel like that's the only thing I'm checking

12
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 3: for when I leave the house.

13
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 4: If I forget microphones and laptops, it's not my fault.

14
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: So we're sitting way too close together sharing a microphone,

15
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: which could end very poorly, but we'll let you know how.

16
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 4: We got all right, let's get into business.

17
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 3: Taking a look around the grounds, the goat of basketball,

18
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 3: Lauren Jackson returns to the court, Barcelona break their own

19
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 3: world record andear old Chloe Cavell wins bronze at her

20
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 3: first X Games in the open age category.

21
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: For our key story, we'll discuss the Russian and Belarusian

22
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: athletes banned from competing at Wimbledon following the Russian invasion

23
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: of Ukraine.

Speaker 2: Let's take a look.

32
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:39,199
Speaker 1: Around the grounds. In basketball, the Goat Lauren Jackson has

33
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: made a sensational return to the court in her first

34
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: game back since coming out of retirement in twenty sixteen.

35
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: She announced earlier this year that she was making her

36
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: return for the Aubrey w Doonga Bandits in the country's

37
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: second tier NBL one competition, So it sits just underneath

38
00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: the WNBL. She's a three time WNBA in the US, MVP,

39
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: four time WNBL back home in Australia, MVP, four time Olympian,

40
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: five time WNBL Champion, and seven time WNBA All Star.

41
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 1: It's tough to argue that she's also in the Naysmith

42
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: Basketball Memorial Hall of Fame. She had many chronic knee

43
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: injuries which forced her to retire just before the Rio

44
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen Olympics. She had multiple ACL reconstructions. She had

45
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: a staff infection of them, and she ended up in

46
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: hospital for a really long time.

47
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 2: So didn't I don't think.

48
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 1: She actually wanted to retire, but her body just wasn't

49
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: holding up anymore. She's talked about the fact that she's

50
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: now using medicinal cannabis to manage the pain in her knees.

51
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: She made a comeback at the age of forty.

52
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: On Saturday night for the Bandits in the NBO one

53
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: clash with the Central Crusaders. She put on an absolute clinic.

54
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: She dropped five to three pointers. I had twenty one points,

55
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: five rebounds, and a pretty impressive block. It was interesting

56
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: looking at her Instagram story after the game as well,

57
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: as she was talking about that she was feeling every

58
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: minute of her forty years after playing. She then went

59
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: and had some treatment with a massage gun and got

60
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: ready to go the next day, where she dropped thirty

61
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: six points and grabbed fifteen rebounds in their second win

62
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: from two games.

63
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 3: Two questions for you, yes, First one, what do you

64
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 3: think she has to gain from this?

65
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 4: Comeback.

66
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 3: You just read a very impressive list of accomplishments. What

67
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 3: do you think is driving her.

68
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 1: It's a really good question, and it's an interesting time

69
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: from the fact that it's sixty years after retire and

70
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: it's not like she retired for a year or so

71
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: and then wanted to come back. I know she's got

72
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: two kids now, so maybe she's kind of gone through pregnancy,

73
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: recovered from that, and realized that she can contribute something.

74
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: I think the Opals performance in Tokyo and in some

75
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: recent competitions has probably been a little bit disappointing based

76
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: on the access to talent that they have as a group.

77
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: As she sat back and watched and thought, I can

78
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: still continue to impact this group that has such an

79
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: incredible legacy.

80
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 4: So that's my second question. Do you think she'll be

81
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 4: wearing green and gold?

82
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: She looked good like We know that she's such an

83
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: impressive shooter from the outside, but she's also so damaging

84
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: when she gets inside and plays in that post position.

85
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: The NBL competition, the NBO one competition isn't the highest standard,

86
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: so she's obviously going to dominate at that level.

87
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: I'd love to see her play a.

88
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: Bit of WNBL and then prepare well. And she's not

89
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: going to have time before the World Cup. So is

90
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: she going to have enough games at a high competition

91
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: level to play at the World Cup?

92
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 2: Will her body hold up?

93
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 3: I think yes, excellent, you've heard it here first shame.

94
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 3: Obviously the WNBA is about to start. They're playing preseason

95
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 3: matches at the moment. I know how restrict do the

96
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 3: WNBA roster numbers are that they You know, we've staw

97
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 3: that with Sharylie Hill last year as shame. It is

98
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 3: that way because it imagine a little kind of Seattle

99
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 3: storm loan period leading into leading into the World Cup.

100
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 3: Just seeing her back on that court with Sue Bird

101
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 3: and the future of the Boomers, the opals with.

102
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: Jane Melbourne as well.

103
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, as he said, Jade Melbourne's just been drafted to

104
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: Seattle as well. Yeah, you'd think someone who's Jersey has

105
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: been retired at Seattle. She's pretty She's one of the

106
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: best players to have ever played there. I think there

107
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: should be a bit of a Lee way.

108
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, exceptions made for goats. Goat exceptions all right. Rugby

109
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 3: union deep breath. The Fijiana drew upset full time champions

110
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 3: New so I was Wartors to take out the Super

111
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 3: W title at Melbourne's Amy Park over the weekend. First

112
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 3: of all, big shout out to the Fiji and fans

113
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 3: that were there. Obviously we were a two o'clock kickoff

114
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 3: on a Saturday. It was probably you know, the crowd

115
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 3: was good, but the noise that they made was outstanding,

116
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 3: really created an electric atmosphere. It was awesome for the

117
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 3: girls to play in front off and look, the Fijiana

118
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 3: women were exceptional. They pushed my girls all the way

119
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 3: and the game went right down to the wire. The

120
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 3: Drewer took a seventy to five lee early which funnily

121
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 3: enough was the halftime scorer when we played them during

122
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 3: the season. After punishing loose ball loss and executing a

123
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 3: great kick pass for two early tries, the Wartars looked

124
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 3: to stage to come back against the thrilling Figen attack,

125
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 3: with New Zealand import Natalie Dellamy crossing for a hat trip.

126
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 3: I mentioned to her after the game that she was

127
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 3: incentivized to get her line out throws on the money

128
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 3: because every time she did, we scored or she scored.

129
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 3: You know, as the hooker, she's thrown that line out

130
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 3: into our second rower. When she nails it, she gets

131
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 3: on the back of that driving mall and our girls

132
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 3: driving mall was exceptional on the weekend again, so we

133
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 3: were looking obviously to dominate that set piece and the

134
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 3: scrum and lineout were exceptional. Eugene player Vicar Matarugu was

135
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 3: sent to the simmin for ten minutes after infringing at

136
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 3: that rolling mall.

137
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 4: Wallaroo's Emily Chancellor.

138
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 3: And scrum half Really seven Batabasaga were exceptional at the breakdown,

139
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 3: winning turnovers to allow the Wartars much needed breathing room.

140
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 3: After a fast paced Fijiano attack, We're a task forward.

141
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 3: Ivagapani looked to be the key to key substitution as

142
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,679
Speaker 3: she crossed the trialine moments after entering the field of play.

143
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 2: However, an impressive solo.

144
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 3: Effort from Timamia Revisa placed the lead back in Fiji's

145
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: hand with nine minutes remaining. Mittelina Nakore sealed the win

146
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 3: minutes later to claim her own trip, much to the

147
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 3: light of that awesome crowd. The thirty two to twenty

148
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 3: six victory was Fijiana's maiden title in their first Super

149
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 3: W competition. The team were visibly emotional and celebrate together

150
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 3: through song and prayer at the end of the match,

151
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 3: which was another amazing moment really to be to be

152
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 3: there to watch them sing that him at the end

153
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 3: of the match. It was kind of made the loss

154
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 3: a little bit easier to take. There was, you know,

155
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 3: big up to that Fijiana team. They've spent nearly four

156
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 3: months now living together in the Gold Coast training full time,

157
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 3: all through some funding from DEFAT which is fantastic, and

158
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 3: they will now take that into a test match next

159
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 3: Friday night Friday week against the Wallaroos in Brisbane. So

160
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 3: interesting to see how the Walleries going against that team.

161
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think good to see the Fijiana girls having

162
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: more experience playing in this top level competition as a

163
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: fifteen aside team as well.

164
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's some really inspiring chat leading into the

165
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 3: match from their captain about in Fiji itself, you know,

166
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 3: the female game isn't very popular as the men's game is,

167
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 3: and how she just hoped that this was going to

168
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 3: inspire every young girl in Fiji to play some rugby.

169
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 4: So that was awesome.

170
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 2: That's really cool.

171
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: In netball, the national selectors have named the twenty twenty

172
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: two to twenty three origin Australian Diamonds squad of eighteen

173
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: athletes ahead of this year's Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. The

174
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: final squad can grow up to twenty two athletes, but

175
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: eighteen have been announced to date. The only first time

176
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: squad invitee of the list is the Queens and Firebirds

177
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: goal shooter and proud Nunga woman Danelle Wallam. If she's

178
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: selected in the Commonwealth Games team of twelve players, she'll

179
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 1: become just the third First Nations athlete to play for

180
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: the Australian national netball team. It was pretty cool her

181
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 1: quote when she was asked about the influence that she

182
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: might have on First Nation's youth, she said, you've got

183
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: to see it to be it. The fact that I

184
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: can be a person for them to look up to

185
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 1: and realize that they have a chance to make their

186
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: dreams come true is really important to me. A couple

187
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: of other standout selections include returning youngsters sunday A Yang,

188
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: Sophie Dwyer up the Giants, and Amy Parmenter as well.

189
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: From the Giants, Ash Brazil claims her spot. She stepped

190
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: away from Collingwood AFLW this year, which was a big

191
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: decision because she's an exceptional footy player as well. She

192
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: wanted to focus on netball leading into the Calm Games.

193
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: A couple of injuries coming back from last year. Liz Watson,

194
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: who had the navicular injury in her foot and Kira Austin,

195
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: who was an ACL rupture, both had really notable starts

196
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: their Super Netball season, so they've earned their return to

197
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 1: the squad after being crown champions of the Netball Quad

198
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: Series earlier this year. The currently ranked world number one

199
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: Diamonds team will be led by Captain Watson and Vice

200
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: Captain Steph wood Way.

201
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 3: In more netball, Round six of the Supernetbowl competition was

202
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 3: played over the weekend, with just one clash between the

203
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 3: top four sides, giving the leading teams an opportunity to

204
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 3: cement their place at the top and the bottom sides

205
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 3: the chance to create an upset. The Sunshine Coast Lightning

206
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 3: defeated defending champions New so far As Swift's at Ken

207
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 3: Roswell Arena sixty nine to sixty two. Although they stumbled

208
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 3: in the earlier rounds, the Lightning looked to be thriving

209
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 3: following consecutive victories against the previous two champs, overcoming the

210
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 3: Melbourn Vixen's last week with.

211
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 4: Steph Wood unusually quiet.

212
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 3: It was goal shooter Kara Conan forty eight goals at

213
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 3: ninety eight percent. The percentages from the shooters blow my mind.

214
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 2: It's so impressive.

215
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 3: It's really ninety eight percent. Like she must forty eight goals.

216
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 3: She's probably missed one with maths. Well, look that's a

217
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 3: real guess. Defender Tara Hinchcliffe. Let me just get the

218
00:10:55,520 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 3: Casio out. Defender Tara Hingchecliffe and teenager Bacheldor, who put

219
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 3: their side into the competition's top four. Swiss captain Maddy Proud,

220
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 3: although overlooked the Diamond squad, there were a few controversial Yeah.

221
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 4: They were un selections, non selections.

222
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

223
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 2: I was actually quite surprised by a couple of them.

224
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

225
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 3: Coach Kylie Byrne of the Lightning used almost every resource

226
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 3: available to her in the second half. She made a

227
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 3: huge nine changes in the third quarter, with the most

228
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 3: effective being the inclusion of Bacheldor. The rookie shot of

229
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 3: perfect seven from seven for the term, including four super shots.

230
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 3: The Collingwood Makepires have executed one of the biggest upsets

231
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 3: of the season, knocking off the Queensland Firebirds sixty seven

232
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 3: fifty nine in Brisbane.

233
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: To keep touch with the top four in extreme sports,

234
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: Let's go the X Games. Twelve year old prodigy Chloe

235
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: Cavell has won a bronze medal in the women's skateboard

236
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: street final at her first ever X Games event.

237
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 2: Chloe was clothed the flow as she's caught on the slab.

238
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: It was one of our first guests on the rat

239
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: last year, so I'll see if I can find that

240
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: episode for people who want to have a lit to

241
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: that she's a legend. The summer edition of the X

242
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: Games took place over the weekend in Japan for the

243
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: first time ever, The X Games Chiaba twenty twenty two

244
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: featured skateboard, BMX and motocross competitions over the weekend. As

245
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: a twelve year old, Chloe was competing in the open

246
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: age category. But the future of women's skateboarding is looking

247
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: pretty good if you think about the fact that she's

248
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: competing against I think it was a fourteen and a

249
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: fifteen year old for the podium spots, and we saw

250
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: a similar thing at the Tokyo Olympics. On the podium.

251
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: I think they were probably all under fifteen years of age.

252
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: Crazy. It's a bit scary, isn't it.

253
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 3: How good they are celebrating with some slushies of the

254
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 3: non alcohol variety afterwards sounds delicious.

255
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: Japan's Olympic bronze medalist Funa Nakayama was runner up to

256
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: Brazil's first time champion rays Alial, who at fourteen, took

257
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: silver at the Tokyo Olympics. Chloe could potentially represent Australia

258
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: at the twenty twenty four Olympic Games in Paris at

259
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: the age of fourteen and presents a serious metal chance

260
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: for our country in soccer.

261
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 3: Less than a month ago, ninety five hundred and fifty

262
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 3: three people filled out camp Now Stadium in Barcelona to

263
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 3: watch their women's team take down Real Madrid in the

264
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 3: Champions League quarters. The Barcelona women's team have now broken

265
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 3: their own world record for the biggest crowded a women's

266
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 3: sporting event, with ninety one, six hundred and forty eight

267
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 3: people turning up to camp Now Stadium to watch their

268
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 3: Champions League semi final against.

269
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 4: German opponents Wolfsburg.

270
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 3: Barcelona treated the fans to a genuine show obliterating its

271
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 3: German opponents five to one thanks to four first half goals.

272
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 3: Ballendor holder Alexia Putteez bagged a brace in the match,

273
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 3: and fellow Spanish star Jennifer Amosso was also on the

274
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 3: scoreset and again, once again, I got very much stuck

275
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 3: in a wormhole of reels from that game.

276
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,359
Speaker 4: It's just the scene of the god.

277
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 2: Is just something.

278
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: It's so special seeing a stadium with almost one hundred

279
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: thousand people.

280
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 3: It was live with movement and song and it was

281
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 3: just amazing. We're going it's a t fat school excursion planned.

282
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 3: That's happening for camp now.

283
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 2: Now, can we confirm? Is it brace? Two goals?

284
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 4: Yeah?

285
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: Why, it's like brackets? What does that mean?

286
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 4: I don't know.

287
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 2: It's two rackets? Is it?

288
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 4: I just made that up.

289
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 2: Let's take a look at the key story.

290
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 3: In tennis, Wimbledon has controversially banned Russian and Belarusian players

291
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 3: from upcoming from their upcoming tournament due to the severity

292
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 3: of the Ukrainian invasion. The decision was taken up nearly

293
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 3: two months of deliberations and legal advice, with Wimbledon concerned

294
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 3: about the image it would present in the circumstances of

295
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 3: such unjustified and unprecedented military aggression. It would be unacceptable

296
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 3: for the Russian regime to derive any benefits from the

297
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 3: involvement of Russian or Belarusian players with the championships.

298
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 4: That was the statement from Wimbledon.

299
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: So the women's players that are going to be affected

300
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: by this band include number four Arenyo Sablenka, who was

301
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: Wimbledon semi finalists last year, Victoria Azarenka, a former world

302
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: number one who was won the Australian Open twice, and

303
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: Anastasia pavlier Tchenkova, the French Open runner up last year.

304
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: The ATP and WA SO the Men's and Women's Tennis

305
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: Associations have expressed their disappointment with the decision. They stated,

306
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: our sport is proud to operate on the fundamental principles

307
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: of merit and fairness, where players compete as individuals to

308
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: earn their place in tournaments based on the ATP rankings.

309
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: We believe that today's unilateral decision by Wimbledon and the

310
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: LTA to exclude players from Russia and Belarus from this

311
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: year's British grass court swing is unfair and has the

312
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: potential to set a damaging precedent for the game. Discrimination

313
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: based on nationality also constitutes a violation of our agreement

314
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: with Wimbledon that states that play entry is based solely

315
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: on ATP rankings. Any cause of action in response to

316
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: this decision will now be assessed in consultation with our

317
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: board and member councils.

318
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 3: So Wimbledon have also introduced a complete ban of Russian media,

319
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 3: so meaning this is Championships will no longer be shown

320
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 3: on Russian TV, while publications from Russia and Belarus will

321
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 3: also be barred. The Dean Dories, Secretary of State for

322
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 3: Digital Culture, Media and Sport of the United Kingdom, welcome

323
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 3: the decision, saying whilst the withdrawal of individual athletes is

324
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 3: a complex issue, there is a bigger cause at stake.

325
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 3: The decision means Putin won't use the most iconic Grand

326
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 3: Slam in tennis to try to legitimize the horrors he's

327
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 3: inflicting on the Ukrainian people.

328
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 4: The right move.

329
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, So, I was just seeing a few differences of opinions.

330
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: I liked what tennis icon Billy Jean King shared in

331
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: a statement on Instagram. She said the decision of the

332
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: LTA and the AELTC regarding the Russian and Belarusian players

333
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: at this year's tournament was a difficult and complex undertaking,

334
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: and I appreciate the challenges and the pressures they are facing.

335
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: One of the guiding principles of the founding of the

336
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: WTA was that any girl in the world, if she

337
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: was good enough, would have a place to compete. I

338
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: stood by that in nineteen seventy three, and I stand

339
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: by that today. I cannot support the banning of individual

340
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: athletes from any tournament simply because of their nationality. Tennis

341
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: is stronger when we stand together, and our continued support

342
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: of the Tennis Plays for Peace initiative, which provides meaningful's

343
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 1: financial support and resources to Ukraine, needs to be our focus.

344
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on this one?

345
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the key thing that Billy Jane King

346
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 3: said there that resonates with me is simply because of

347
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 3: their nationality. I think it would be a totally different

348
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 3: situation if these players were out there actively supporting their

349
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 3: government or government loose use of of the word, their regime,

350
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,479
Speaker 3: and in fact, I know that a lot of them

351
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 3: actually spoke spoken out against the actions of Russia against Ukraine.

352
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 3: So that for me probably makes it a really tough

353
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 3: call by Wimbledon.

354
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think taking on board the different perspectives that

355
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: come out of it, if I were to be held

356
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: responsible in my sporting career for decisions that Scott Morrison

357
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: had been making, I'd be in a pretty disappointing place.

358
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 2: I'd say.

359
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's an interesting way to think about it,

360
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 3: because at least you have the chance in a couple

361
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 3: of weeks time to vote. You got to ask yourself

362
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 3: the question, when was the last time Russian had a

363
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 3: legitimate vote or against Vladimir Putin? He just continues to

364
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,479
Speaker 3: put himself in a position of power. So it is

365
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 3: I think it's a long boat to draw to say

366
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 3: that these tennis players should feel the punishment from Wimbledon

367
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 3: on behalf of what Putin's doing.

368
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: I think the one final piece I'll add on is

369
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: this discussion. A lot of the time, even on a post,

370
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: are a lot of people saying, don't mix sport in politics.

371
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,199
Speaker 1: I think that's I disagree with that sentiment because I

372
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: think we know the power that sport has in being

373
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: able to shape culture and society and people's attitudes, and

374
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: that's that's a big part of why we do what

375
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: we do with the Female Athlete Project from a gender

376
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: quality perspective. So there's a part of it where I

377
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: understand that it's an ability to make a statement. I

378
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: just don't think Putin's going to look at it and think, no,

379
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: I'm going to change my mind.

380
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 4: Now.

381
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 2: Is it a collective thing though?

382
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 1: If it's wimbed in and a whole range of different

383
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: things that continue to add up to the point where

384
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: it's going to make an impact, potentially it's.

385
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 4: A tough one.

386
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 3: And look, the other thing to take into consideration is

387
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 3: the fact that the media in Russia is so controlled.

388
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 3: Will they even notice, you know the Will the people

389
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 3: of Russia even be aware of it?

390
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 4: Make the big tennis fans?

391
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 3: Probably, But you know what's churned out in Russia from

392
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 3: the media is one say, quite one sided.

393
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at what to watch in netball.

394
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: The sun Corps Super Netball is halfway round seven and

00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 1: I forgot to mention at the start of the episode

403
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: that it was Anzac Cookies today.

404
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 4: Your baked goods, my baked goods. You've done well well.

405
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 3: We've got to stick with the holiday themes and celebrate
