Titmas is the current Olympic champ, 177 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 2: Ladecki is a defending world champ, and sixteen year old 178 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 2: imposters I'm a Macintosh not an imposter at all. 179 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 3: Is the was the current world record holder. 180 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 2: They qualified one, two and three for the final, and 181 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 2: that world record was clearly going to be under some 182 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 2: serious threat. 183 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 3: Timmas just led the whole way it wasn't. 184 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: She just dominated. 185 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 3: It was like, idea, you to catch me. 186 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. I got a little bit nervous around the two 187 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: hundred meter mark because I was like, have you gone 188 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: out too hard? Too early? But she just sorry, I'm 189 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: stealing a story. But gosh, she just powered through the water, 190 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: didn't she. 191 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 2: She was, and she produced a breathtaking new world record 192 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 2: time of three minute fifty five point three eight seconds, 193 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 2: beating the previous mark by seven tenths of a second. 194 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 2: Such was her dominance of the race. She finished almost 195 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 2: three and a half seconds in front of the great 196 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 2: Katie Ladecki and in second and four and a half 197 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 2: seconds ahead of Macintosh, who finished fourth. 198 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: First woman in history to go sub three fifty six 199 00:08:58,920 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: as well. 200 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 3: Right, just outstanding. 201 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: She's a bloody beet, she told. 202 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 2: The nine Network after the race. I was just really 203 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 2: excited for this race. I've put in a lot of 204 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 2: work the last six weeks and I took a lot 205 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 2: away from the national trials. 206 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 3: I swam the way I wanted to. I knew I 207 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 3: had enough. 208 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 2: Time to turn that around, and I came in tonight 209 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 2: and just tried to be fearless and race again, and 210 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 2: it paid off. It's probably my most satisfying win. I 211 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 2: love that for her so good, she said, I feel 212 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 2: really over the moon to get that one. I've got 213 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 2: a fearless tattoo on my foot so I can see 214 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 2: that before I dive. 215 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: Oh so it's on the top of her foot. That's cool. 216 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. 217 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 2: The only way to win is to take it out 218 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 2: to see who had the most fight and who had 219 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 2: the most gas left in the tank. I'm happy that 220 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 2: it worked. Honestly, did not think about getting the world 221 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 2: record back. She definitely got it. 222 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: She absolutely got it. What would your tattoo on your 223 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: foot say if you were don't fall in? 224 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 3: It was quite fas what would say if you're an 225 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 3: Olympic swimmer. 226 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: If I was an Olympic swimmer, I'd probably say I 227 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: hate swimming. Breathe, breathe, just breathe in the real way. 228 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: The Aussie four by one hundred meter freestyle relay team 229 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: also broke some world records on their way to a gold. 230 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: On Night one, the team of Morio O'Callahan, Shanna jack 231 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: Met Harris and Emma mckeehon stopped the clock in three 232 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 1: minutes and twenty seven point nine to six seconds, a 233 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: solid two seconds ahead of the previous best time set 234 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 1: by the Aussies at Tokyo in twenty twenty one. Can 235 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: we talk about the fact that they've taken they're the 236 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,199 Speaker 1: best in the world, and they've taken two seconds off 237 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: their own time across a four hundred meter like that's. 238 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 3: A huge It's massive. 239 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 2: And I didn't get to see the the race live. 240 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 3: I was at Lilo last night.

That's taller 251 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:00,079 Speaker 2: than us. 252 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 1: That I'd like to think we're five to ten, but 253 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: we're not. We're almost five to ten. 254 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, she's a good height on her but sorry she 255 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 2: so I missed it, but I did watch the race 256 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 2: this morning and the commentator was kind of having a 257 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 2: bit of a oh, I'm McKee might get caught by 258 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 2: the world record time here. It's taken a little bit 259 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 2: of time off in that first fifty. No, she just 260 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 2: powered away from it like the world record line was 261 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 2: behind her feet. That is a huge, huge margin, like 262 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 2: you said in all by one hundred meter race. 263 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, amazing. They finished almost four seconds clear of the 264 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: second place USA. That's again outstands lovely, lovely, in part 265 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: due to a personal best of fifty two point two 266 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: from leadoff swimmer moly O'Callahan. The only negative of the 267 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,719 Speaker 1: evening was a disqualification of Kayleie McEwan after her two 268 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: hundred meter individual medley semifinal. This was a bit of 269 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: a weird one, wasn't it. Australian head coach Rowan Taylor 270 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: told Channel nine. They determined she rolled past the ninety 271 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: degrees onto her stomach on the backstroke to breaststroke turn. 272 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: They upheld it. I disagree one hundred percent. I don't 273 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: think it's definitive. They said they're standing by it. She's fine, 274 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: We're onto the next thing. So you're on your back, 275 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: which way's ninety degrees? What does she you got it? 276 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: Don't you have to out all the way over? I 277 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: don't understand it. 278 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 2: Elbow to the microphone there, Yeah, I don't either. Great, 279 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 2: I would imagine that you touch. I think you get 280 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 2: to do a stroke into the wall and as you're 281 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 2: going into the wall, you can start your turn. So 282 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 2: I'm assuming maybe she was too far past the ninety 283 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 2: degree on a way into the wall. 284 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: What's what's ninety degrees? Though? 285 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 3: Like a quarter, isn't it? 286 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: But no, where's the angle of ninety Where are you 287 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: talking about the ninety degree angle? Oh? 288 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 3: Look, I didn't have my protractor at the pulse. I'm unsure. 289 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: No, Like, which is it a part of her body 290 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 1: at ninety degrees? What's the ninety degree? 291 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,040 Speaker 3: I think it's like rolling onto a star. 292 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: Body going ninety degrees to the water. 293 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 3: I think, so, yeah, weird. I don't know. We've absolutely 294 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 3: made that up. 295 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 2: Okay, someone message us, Someone help us. 296 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: Someone fix us. The next thing, if anything. 297 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 3: Is going to be more gold, So yeah it is. 298 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: And dolphins, let's. 299 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 3: Be honest, Callie McEwan. 300 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 2: I mean that was the I am she probably would 301 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 2: have done really well in that, but it's the backstroke 302 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 2: events for her that she is absolutely red hot in 303 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 2: in some football. Well, it was just been an amazing 304 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 2: opening few. 305 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: Days, incredible history making record breaking. 306 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 2: Just yeah, I think I was pumped for this, but 307 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 2: I hadn't. I did not envisage how much this would 308 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 2: affect me. I think in a way like watching these crowds, 309 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 2: witnessing being amongst it. 310 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 3: It's just something else I think. 311 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 1: And I know we'll get into the numbers, but I 312 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: think the thing for me that's really blown me aways. 313 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: I always have known that Australian crowds will get behind 314 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 1: a successful Australian team. We know how much Australia love 315 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 1: the Matilda's. The fact that it was a sellout crowd 316 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: was not a surprise, but to me, the consistency of 317 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 1: crowds for nations that aren't on our home nations.

In front of 405 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: a record crowd at Eden Park in Auckland, Hannah Wilkinson 406 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 1: finished a clinical passage of ball movement, tapping in a 407 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: perfectly timed cross in the forty eighth minute. After the 408 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: one nil win, a very emotional New Zealand captain Ali 409 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: Riley said, it's the best night of my life with 410 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 1: the performance we deserved it. I know we came in 411 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 1: as underdogs. I know there was a lot of doubt, 412 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: a lot of articles being written saying how many times 413 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,120 Speaker 1: we haven't won a game, but we believed in ourselves 414 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,239 Speaker 1: the whole time. Riley also addressed the huge number of 415 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 1: former New Zealand players in the crowd saying I wasn't 416 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,360 Speaker 1: playing for me, I was playing for them. Oh, don't 417 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: get emotional cloths. I was playing for the ferns that 418 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: came before us and to inspire the ferns that will 419 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: come after me. In men so much for all of us. 420 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 1: You don't need much more motivation than that, do you 421 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: when you're running out in front of a crowd like that? 422 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 2: Too many sweaty eyeballs? Something like day five? Whoa following 423 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 2: hot on the heels from that epic start from the 424 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 2: Fern's news broke that Sam Kerr had injured a calf 425 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 2: for training the day prior and would miss the first 426 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 2: two matches of the World Cup. So we're walking into 427 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 2: the stadium at Homebush and just overhearing the chatter in general, 428 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 2: the general hubbub and every second phrase you ever heard 429 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 2: contain the word Sam Kerr and Kuf. 430 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,239 Speaker 3: It was just and was like, oh my god, I've 431 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 3: had about Samkur. 432 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 2: The record crowd was buzzing with about that shocking news 433 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 2: that she is the face of the tournament. 434 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 1: Absolutely she is. 435 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, was not going to be on the pitch Steph 436 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 2: Catley though she took the captain's armband, and she paid 437 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 2: tribute to her after the match, saying that the news 438 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 2: of Kerr's injury was one of the most heartbreaking moments 439 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 2: in her own career. 440 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: Wow. 441 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 3: She absolutely did Kur and the country proud. 442 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 2: Australia dominated the match, but a goal proved elusive in 443 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 2: the first half, despite some solid chances. Thankfully, not long 444 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 2: into the second half, Kyra Cooney Cross sent a diagonal 445 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 2: ball into the box and as the ball was heading 446 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,159 Speaker 2: towards Halee Razzo, she was clumsily brought down by Irish 447 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 2: player Marissa Shiva. The referee pointed to the spot and 448 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 2: Skipper Catley calmly smashed the ball home. 449 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: That left foot. 450 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 2: I could barely watch. To be honest, it's not gonna lie. 451 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 2: A lot of tension, so stressed. There are a few 452 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 2: nervy moments towards the end of the game, but the 453 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 2: Aussies held on to win one nil and bank the 454 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 2: very important three points. 455 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 3: Katlee Toll Channel nine. 456 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 2: Katie told Channel seven after the game, it's been a 457 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 2: long build up to this game and there has obviously 458 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 2: been a lot of anticipation, a lot of anxiety. That's 459 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 2: natural I think you could see that in moments we 460 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 2: were nervy and probably didn't play as calmly as we 461 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 2: normally do. And Island were fantastic. They put us under pressure, 462 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 2: played their corners really well and fair played to them. 463 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 2: There were some nervy moments, but we will look to 464 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 2: clean that up further in the tournament. I think they 465 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 2: did look like they were pretty anxious. 466 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: I agree a lot of pressure. Yeah, records were broken at. 467 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 3: At home too, while they're on the couch. 468 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: Oh is that we catch records? We weren't going New 469 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: Zealand to Australia their couch. We love couch records one 470 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: of my favorite records. Actually. Channel seven reported the game 471 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: reached four point eight eight million people, with an average 472 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 1: audience of one point nine seven million. The viewing audience 473 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: peaked at two point two eight million viewers. That average 474 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 1: audience beat the one point four to six million who 475 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,919 Speaker 1: watched the Matilda's take on Sweden at the Tokyo Olympics 476 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, which at the time was a 477 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 1: record for women's sports viewership in Australia. 478 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 2: So it smashed the new record, the old record, and 479 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 2: I think also with the Tokyo Olympics. It almost should 480 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 2: be like a little caveat in all of the records. 481 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 2: It was like record set whilst everyone was locked at 482 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 2: home and couldn't do anything else. 483 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: Very true. That's a great point. So subscriber service opt 484 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: To Sport Advisor don't release match specific figures daily, but 485 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: could report it was the most streamed women's ball game 486 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: in opt To sports history. Opta Sport VP of Product Development, 487 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 1: Clive Dickens said, it is really exciting. We had six 488 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: hundred licensed venues across the country, including sixty to eighty 489 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: council run live sites, all reported record crowds, and we 490 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: have an influx of venues seeking licenses today. I can 491 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 1: confidently predict that this is the baseline number. Everything goes 492 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 1: up from here. I wanted to chat about this bez 493 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 1: We've actually had a lot of comments and messages on 494 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: our social media, particularly on Instagram at the Female Athlete Project, 495 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: around the fact that so many of these games are 496 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: non free to air television. We agree, we understand the frustration, 497 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,439 Speaker 1: and we always are big promoters for it being on 498 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,360 Speaker 1: free to air, but I think it's really important in 499 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,439 Speaker 1: this scenario for people not to use that as a 500 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,719 Speaker 1: spiteful thing of I'm not going to watch it if 501 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,120 Speaker 1: I have to pay for it. If you think about 502 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 1: I don't work in broadcasts. But if you think about it, 503 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: they're going to approach it in one of two ways. 504 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 1: Either they're going to in future acknowledge the growth and 505 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: the trajectory women's sport and say, hey, we're going to 506 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: invest in this game put more games on free toware television, 507 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 1: or they'll take a look at the historic numbers for 508 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: the more people that actually watch it on op to sport, 509 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 1: the better it's going to be for the future of 510 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: the game, and platforms like Channel seven will get to 511 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 1: see those numbers as well and maybe put more games 512 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: on freeoware next time around. 513 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 3: Yeah. I couldn't agree more with you. 514 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 2: And without trying to be an ad for op to sport, 515 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 2: it's not a huge outlay for a month. 516 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 3: You can join up for the month and that's it. 517 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 2: And what a great little stat for opt sport to 518 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 2: actually record and keep is that that one month subscription 519 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 2: that a whole heap of people then canceled must have 520 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:38,360 Speaker 2: been for the Women's World Cup. 521 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. 522 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,400 Speaker 3: Great, Like that's exactly what I'm doing. Just quietly. 523 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:43,199 Speaker 1: I love it. 524 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 2: Joined up for the month, but yeah, because it's worth it. 525 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 2: It's not a huge outlay. If you can afford it, 526 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 2: it's definitely worth it and it does contribute to some 527 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 2: real concrete evidence that people want to consume female sport. 528 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 3: Love it. 529 00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 2: In netball, the new license in the sun Corps Super 530 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 2: Net bow leagu has been awarded. The eighth team, replacing 531 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 2: the Collingwood Magpies, will be a Melbourne based team owned 532 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 2: by Craig Hutchinson's Sports Entertainment Network and based in Southeast Melbourne. 533 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 2: The Big fod off a proposal from Netball Victoria that 534 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 2: was looking to start a regional team that would float 535 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 2: across Geelong, Bendigo or Ballarat but still play some metro games. 536 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 2: Neble Australia had planned on making the announcement by July fourth, 537 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 2: but admitted to the ABC last week it had been 538 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 2: too ambitious with that timeline. 539 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 3: They did, however, managed to. 540 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 2: Confirm the new admission before the Diamonds flew out to 541 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,719 Speaker 2: South Africa for the World Cup, giving the players some 542 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,120 Speaker 2: comfort around the structure of the competition for twenty twenty four. 543 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 2: Hutchison spoke to the media after the announcement. So I 544 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 2: believe they owned four NBL teams or four basketball teams 545 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 2: across NBL and WNBL. 546 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds about right. 547 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 3: So it's you know, they know what they're doing. 548 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 2: Yes, he said, commercially, this is a fantastic opportunity and 549 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 2: we're here for the long haul. 550 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,160 Speaker 3: It not working out is not something we've even considered. 551 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 3: I like that, Love that from Ukraig. 552 00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 2: They're looking to get off on the right foot with 553 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 2: strong ms around the fact they will sign English twenty 554 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 2: eighteen com Games winning coach Tracy Neville for the debut season. 555 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,399 Speaker 2: Nevill was an assistant with Outelaide Thunderburns this year, who 556 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 2: stormed their way to the championship after a rough ten 557 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 2: years at the bottom of the table. I imagine she 558 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,360 Speaker 2: will actually tracked a lot of good English players too. 559 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 1: If that's the case, very true. 560 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 2: The signing window for the new season is tipped to 561 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 2: open the day after the World Cup final on August seven, 562 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 2: provided the collective player agreement and team play agreements can 563 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 2: both be agreed to prior to that date. There is 564 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 2: chat that an interim agreement is being worked through after 565 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,160 Speaker 2: the long term deal suggested by Netble Australia that contained 566 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 2: no pay rise until the end of twenty twenty six 567 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 2: was rejected by the playing group. 568 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: In skating, skaters, Arisa True and Chloe Cavell are both 569 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: thirteen years old and from the Gold Coast. They also 570 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 1: both won their first gold medals at the X Games 571 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 1: in California over the weekend. Cavell won the women's street competition, 572 00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 1: becoming the youngest winner in the X Game street gating 573 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 1: discipline by beating a strong field, including Olympic gold medalist 574 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 1: Mimij Nashia of Japan. Here is some skate language for 575 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: you all. I know you're looking at me for a reason. Okay, 576 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: So Cavell needed to pull something out on her third 577 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: and final as she was sitting in the bronze medal position, 578 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: she pulled something out. All right, I'm ready. She's strung 579 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: together a heel flip down the four block of stairs 580 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: and a statement fifty to fifty kickflip ending with the 581 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 1: front side fifty to fifty down the double set of stairs. 582 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,880 Speaker 1: So I reckon, like we all know, a heelflip great 583 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: down the stairs. So like, does she go on the 584 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 1: rail now? She just jumps down the stairs. He'l flip 585 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 1: into a jump down the stairs. Great, then I don't 586 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: know what I know what a kickflip is. I don't 587 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: know what a fifty to fifty is fifty to fifty. 588 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 2: I think it's when you know, look, i'd absolutely be 589 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 2: making that up. I believe it's like foot position. 590 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that sounds about right. You're on one half 591 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: of the board, maybe on one edge of the board, 592 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. And then a front side is front 593 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: side when you go on the front wheels or is 594 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: that a grind down the rail of front side fifty 595 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: fifty down the double sit stairs. No one really knows, well, skaters, no, 596 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: not us. 597 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 2: The whole sentence, I think you know that. You sounded 598 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 2: like you definitely knew it. But I think the overall 599 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 2: vibe is that she'd be fully stoked with it. 600 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: And you know what she said when asked how she 601 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 1: planned to celebrate, She's responded, probably eat heaps of lollies 602 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: because she's thirteen years old, so she's not drinking beers. 603 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 1: She's eating lollies. It's amazing. Only hours later, Arisa True 604 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 1: claimed the women's vert title and became the first woman 605 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 1: Can you even call her a woman at thirteen years old, 606 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: like she's a baby. She is a child to land 607 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,199 Speaker 1: a seven twenty in X Games competition. We saw her 608 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 1: do it a couple of weeks ago in competition, but 609 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: that wasn't an X Games competition. Women's vert skating is 610 00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: now back in the X Games after a thirteen year hiatus, 611 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 1: and True is pushing the boundaries every time she competes. 612 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: Both skaters are in prime position to earn a place 613 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: in the Paris Olympic Games next year and be right 614 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 1: in the medals. 615 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 3: In some commonweuth Games news. 616 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 2: So last week Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews announced the twenty 617 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 2: twenty six Commoth Games would not go ahead as planned Victoria, 618 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,199 Speaker 2: the Victorian government confirmed the estimated costs had blown out 619 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,479 Speaker 2: from two point six billion to more than six billions 620 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 2: since the games are announced fourteen months ago, mind blowing. 621 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 2: The Komath Games Federation had struggled to find any cities 622 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 2: willing to bid for the Games, mainly due to concerns 623 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,919 Speaker 2: of rising costs and low returns, but Victoria agreed to 624 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 2: host the games when approached and pledged to take the 625 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 2: event to the regions. So they were going to build sport, sporting, 626 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 2: the Stadia and housing in Geelong, Bendigo, baler At, Gippsland 627 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 2: and Sheberton. Now I'm going to use that housing as 628 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 2: affordable housing afterwards. Sadly, just over a year after making 629 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 2: the announcement, Dan Andrews pulled the plug and left an 630 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 2: election promise to the Regents unfulfilled. There's obviously been a 631 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 2: lot in the news about this, a lot better and said, 632 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 2: I think the thing that the most damning evidence for 633 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 2: me is that the Victorian government apparently the initial budget 634 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 2: was just widely inaccurate. They'd failed to cost security and 635 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 2: transport as well as having how much as well as 636 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 2: how much having multiple athletes villagers would add to the 637 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 2: bottom line. 638 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: That's a bizarre mistake. You can miss those things out. 639 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 3: Security and transport too. These are twenty four hour requirements. 640 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 2: It's just yeah, I think really poor from the Victorian government, 641 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 2: really poor planning and unfortunately it's the athletes are going 642 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 2: to miss out. I think Petrie Thomas said she is 643 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 2: the Chef de Mission and she really statement in the 644 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 2: sett in part, this is a significant blow to the 645 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 2: hundreds of athletes and their support teams working towards qualification 646 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 2: for games here at home. 647 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 3: I'm thinking of them today. 648 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: I was just going to jump in with the fact 649 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: that it's the only is it only global sporting competition 650 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: where athletes with the disability can compete alongside gable bodied athletes. 651 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, and Ausie swimmer Ron Cruthers pointed this out on Twitter, 652 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 2: writing I love this from him. It's a great opportunity 653 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 2: to raise awareness for disabled sport. Seeing the games canceled 654 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 2: will suck for the state of inclusion. For some athletes. 655 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 2: A gold medal at Komalth Games means more than gold 656 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 2: medal at the Paralympics. Recognition and equality can mean more 657 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 2: than achievement. 658 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: Wow, that's a really cool statement from him. Let's take 659 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: a look at the key story. 660 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 2: So Change Our Game is Victorian government initiative that is 661 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 2: all about encouraging the sector to challenge gender stereotypes and 662 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 2: encourage more women and girls to reach their full potential. 663 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 2: They recently released a report titled the Value of You 664 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 2: Can Be what You Can See. 665 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 3: I like the way they've kind. 666 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 2: Of reversed the language into a positive light. Looking into 667 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 2: the gap in sponsorship for women's elite sport. The study 668 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 2: explored eight key sports in Australia, covering elite professional competitions, 669 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 2: national teams, and individual athletes. Through consultations, public financial disclosures, 670 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 2: consumers survey results, and market insights. 671 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: The report revealed that sponsorship of women elite sporting properties 672 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: outperform men's when it comes to brand awareness, brand consideration, 673 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: and customer conversion. Yet industry benchmarks show the value of 674 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: women's elite sport properties is currently only twelve percent of 675 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 1: the level of men's elite sport properties. My favorite key 676 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 1: finding from this report was that for every one dollar 677 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,959 Speaker 1: invested by a corporate sponsor into the visibility of women's 678 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: elite sport is supporting the realization of on average, seven 679 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: dollars twenty nine in customer value for that organization. So 680 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: a business puts in one dollar, they get out seven 681 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: dollars twenty nine. 682 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 3: No brainer, No brainer. I got no economics degree me, 683 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 3: but I reckon that's okay. 684 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 1: I'd say so good return on investment. Some of the 685 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: other key findings companies that have invested in elite women's 686 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: sport have sent an uplist uplift across key brand metrics, 687 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: including brand awareness up eight percent, brand consideration up six percent, 688 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: and customer conversion up five percent. Those numbers outperform men's 689 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: sponsor returns in all three metrics. Hugely, huge, huge Early 690 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: supporters of women's elite sport in Australia are benefiting from 691 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 1: more than six hundred and fifty million dollars in customer 692 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: value each year. Crazy. 693 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 3: It's so, it's just the numbers are there, they don't lie. 694 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 1: There remains a huge gap in investment, however, and the 695 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 1: report shows that achieving sponsorship parody in Australia would require 696 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: an uplift of more than one hundred and twenty five 697 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: million dollars per annum from intelligent companies willing to invest 698 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 1: in female athletes. That's exactly what they are, intelligent. 699 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 3: I definitely added that word in myself. 700 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 1: Oh, I agree, I imagined to change our game. 701 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 3: Agrees to Yeah. 702 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 2: So some key recommendations from the report are and these 703 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 2: common sense is of the Common Sense Podcast Number one. 704 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 2: Get in early and grow the women's elite sporting property too. 705 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 2: Commit to long term partnerships to realize the full value 706 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 2: of women's elite sport. I think that one's key for me. 707 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 2: Long term. Don't expect an instant return. Actually, no business 708 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 2: works that way totally. T FAT three maximize sponsorship leverage 709 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 2: to achieve greater brand exposure and improve return on investment 710 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 2: from women's elite sporting properties. The report finishes with a 711 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 2: call to action that highlights how a diversified media landscape 712 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 2: has altered how sponsorships can leverage their partnerships. But the 713 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 2: opportunities to capitalize on sponsorship properties remain and are likely 714 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 2: even greater than ever, And I think that is important. 715 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 2: We talk about how the media landscape has changed, but 716 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 2: that diversification I think probably even lends itself better to 717 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 2: female sports. So continued growth and huge value propositions make 718 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 2: investing in women's sport a more than compelling business case. 719 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 3: Do it? 720 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: Just get involved? 721 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, some great, really great numbers there from change our game, 722 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 2: and they're available on their website. 723 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 3: If you want to do a deep dive. 724 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 1: Let's take a look at what to watch. There is 725 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: so much sport to watch at the moment. 726 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 3: I've even left stuff out. 727 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, it's out of control.
