I have played a few 3 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 1: professional sports, so I feel like I'm allowed to talk 4 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,599 Speaker 1: about women's sports. And one time I won an Olympic 5 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,079 Speaker 1: gold medal, so that's good to count for something.

Let's take a look around the grounds. 27 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: It's time for the rap within the wrap, my favorite 28 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 1: kind wrapping the Winter Olympics so far. So we've got 29 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: another medal for the Aussies, Jackie Narracott in the skeleton. 30 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: Her silver medal was not only the first medal Australia 31 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 1: has won in any sliding event, it also gave Australia 32 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 1: their greatest ever Winter Olympics medal hall. She added her 33 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: silver to Jakara Anthony's gold, Scottie James silver and Tess 34 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: Courty's bronze, taking the metal hall to four, more than 35 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: any other Winter Olympic Games. We need to get Jackie 36 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: Narracott on the podcast because her story is quite exceptional. 37 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: She actually admitted that the medal was a little bit 38 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: of a surprise. Funding for skeleton was discontinued in twenty fourteen, 39 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,119 Speaker 1: and she's leaned heavily on her husband and coach Don Parsons, 40 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: who was a bronze medalist in skeleton for Great Britain 41 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen. There's been some support from the Olympic 42 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: Winter Institute, which has helped a lot over the past 43 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: four years, but there have been, as they described, plenty 44 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: of maxed out credit cards and persistent rating of the 45 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: bank of Mum and Dad. Like most of the small nations, 46 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: Jackie estimated that it's cost her over one hundred thousand 47 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: dollars to pursue her dreams over the past four years. 48 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: Along with the financial pressure, there's been some pretty serious 49 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: and scary or a scary injury to contend with. It 50 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: was not long after the twenty eighteen Olympics she almost 51 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: had a career ending concussion at the track in Calgary. 52 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: Her symptoms were so severe for six months afterwards she 53 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: was still walking around the streets of her base in 54 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: Bath in the UK. She described it like she was drunk, 55 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: almost walking around because of the concussion symptoms. She could 56 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: barely walk, so the thought of throwing herself down the 57 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,679 Speaker 1: skeleton track was completely out of the question. Then COVID hit. 58 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: She skipped a number of big races to avoid the pandemic, 59 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: so then in January she came out one gold at 60 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: the World Cup event in Switzerland and shocked kind of 61 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: the whole skeleton world. 62 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 3: There. 63 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: She talked about the fact that she said, I finally 64 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: realized that my career wasn't going to be any worse 65 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: or better if I did finally get that medal, and 66 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: sure enough I let go of it and it happened, 67 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: which is no coincidence. I'm well aware of that fact. 68 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: She was quite incredible. We talked last week about Jakara Anthony, 69 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: who kind of was just in the zone, and I 70 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: got the same vibe watching Jackie. She just was super 71 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,119 Speaker 1: confident and she looked like she had it the whole time. 72 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: She was just focused and ready to go. She was 73 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: sliding it one hundred and eighteen kilometers per hour. She 74 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: was the leader after the first two runs, but Germany's 75 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: Hadna Nisa was a touch faster and the final two 76 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: trips down the hill, taking home the gold medal by 77 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: zero point six two seconds. 78 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 2: Super impressive stuff that one hundred and eighteen kilometers an 79 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 2: hour face first on a macus tray. 80 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 3: How do you feel about that? 81 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 2: Not? 82 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: Okay? It's like even the way they sprint, Like have 83 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: you watched how they sprint upright, but they have to 84 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: have a hand on the macca's tray, Like I don't 85 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: think I could sprint and bend down that low my 86 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: back not good enough of that. 87 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 2: No, no die, No, Bell broke off. 88 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 3: She's had a huge week in Beijing. 89 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 2: Her qualifying run in her individual snowboard cross event was 90 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 2: less than ideal. I love Bell's candid social media posts 91 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 2: after that run. She basically promised that she'd be better, 92 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 2: and she absolutely made good on that promise. She went 93 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 2: into those elimination races ranked eighteenth, so had plenty of 94 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 2: work to do. The way those races work is they're seeded, 95 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 2: so she was obviously up against some better snowboard crosses 96 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 2: being eighteenth ranked there. Yeah, she admitted straight after that 97 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 2: she had her worst time trail result ever in the sport, 98 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 2: so she had to dig deep and put a lot 99 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 2: of fight into it. She survived her first race, finished 100 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 2: a comfortable second, but then in the quarter final, as 101 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 2: can happen in this. 102 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,799 Speaker 3: Sport, it all got real crazy. 103 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 2: She was last heading into the final few bends, trailing 104 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 2: running world champion Charlotte Banks of Great Britain and American 105 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 2: Faye Jelini. As we said, snowboard cross is super unpredictable, 106 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 2: and just as it looked like it was all over bell, 107 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 2: the leading pair tangled slightly on one bend, opening the 108 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 2: door for the veteran Izzy to fly through then steal 109 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 2: a remarkable second place and a spot in the semifinal. Again, 110 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 2: the semi was pretty chaotic, saw her avoid another crash 111 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 2: and qualify for Sue's first ever big final at the 112 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 2: Olympics in snowboard cross. Unfortunately, she just it looked like 113 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 2: she missed the start slightly over those first few jumps 114 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 2: at the top, and she just found herself behind early 115 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 2: and wasn't able to make up the ground on the leaders. 116 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 2: She finished fourth out of four and again super honest 117 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 2: post race. I love her, love her chat. She just 118 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 2: straight out said fourth is shit house, It's so shit 119 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 2: the loser. 120 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 3: Of the big final. You missed the podium by that much? 121 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: Yeah for sure? 122 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 3: All right. 123 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 2: So, in some non Aussie Winter Olympic news, fifteen year 124 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 2: old Russian figure skater Camilla Believa is at the center 125 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 2: of a doping scandal in Beijing after testing positive for 126 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 2: trim ta zanden, which is an angina medication band in sports. 127 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 2: I believe it helps your blood vessels in your heart 128 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 2: expand therefore carrying more of the good things. The sample 129 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 2: was given in all the things. Yeah, the sample was 130 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 2: given in late December in Saint Petersburg, where she won 131 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 2: the Russian national championship, and sent to a wider approved 132 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 2: lab in Stockholm for analysis. There was a delay, unfortunately 133 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 2: in processing that sample, apparently i Stockholm. The lab advised 134 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 2: the authorities of the positive test on Monday, only hours 135 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 2: after the Russians had won a gold medal in the 136 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 2: team event that the fifteen year old had competed in. 137 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 2: So unfortunately, due to that delay, and they think that 138 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 2: the delay was obviously Christmas time, and a surge in 139 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 2: omicron variant cases of COVID nineteen that the Stockholm lad 140 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 2: was also taken care of, held up that analysis. So 141 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 2: she was immediately stood down placed under a provisional ban. 142 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 2: The Russian Olympic Committee then lodged a few appeals and 143 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 2: it's now sitting with the Court of Arbitration for Sport 144 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 2: to see whether they will allow her to compete in 145 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 2: the individual event which starts Tuesday. But obviously with that 146 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 2: hangover ahead, it's looking unlikely. 147 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: Let's go to some more positive news, the record breaking 148 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: kind of news. Dutch speed skater Iron Woost is doing 149 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: her best to beat father time. At thirty five years old, 150 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: she's competing in her fifth Olympics and has already made history. 151 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: Last week, she won the fifteen hundred meters with an 152 00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: Olympic record time of one fifty three twenty eight. This 153 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: was her twelfth Olympic medal, tying her as the third 154 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: most decorated Winter Olympian of all time. She could finish 155 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: the games tied for second all time after the women's 156 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: team pursuit event. Amazingly, her gold medal meant she became 157 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: the first athlete to win at least one individual gold 158 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: medal at five consecutive Olympics Summer or Winter, the first 159 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: of all time to ever do. That's so impressive. It's 160 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: an example of remarkable longevity. She became the youngest ever 161 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 1: Dutch winner of an Olympic gold medal in Turin by 162 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: winning the three thousand meters at the age of nineteen. 163 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: When she was asked about her career, she said, when 164 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: I was nineteen, it felt like a party. Everything was 165 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: so amazing. I felt like a child in a candy shop. 166 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: A lot of things happened to me during the last 167 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: sixteen years, so this one is more emotional. You overcome 168 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: so many things. The first time is the easiest one 169 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: to win. Winning for the fifth time is the hardest 170 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: one to win. I cannot say which Olympic gold is 171 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: more important to me. It's like having six children and 172 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: you have to pick which one is the most beautiful. 173 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: They all mean a lot to me. I love this 174 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 1: because people I often get the question Olympic gold or 175 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: AFOW Premiership, and I've used that like, don't make me 176 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: pick a favorite child. So five Olympic gold medal is 177 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: probably hard to choose. 178 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:19,559 Speaker 3: Oh for sure. 179 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 2: And there was a bit of commentary afterwards. She I 180 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 2: think she went because obviously with these kind of speed 181 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,319 Speaker 2: skating events, the fastest person competes last, so it's a 182 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 2: time thing, right. I think she raced fourth or fifth last, 183 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 2: so like, wasn't coming in kind of I think everyone's like, oh, 184 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 2: the old girl won last event. For her, wasn't necessarily 185 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 2: a big favorite. And she said herself, she said, look, 186 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,439 Speaker 2: I wasn't racing super well coming into this, but something 187 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 2: about the Olympic rings. I got out there and yeah, 188 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 2: I won gold because that's obviously what she does. 189 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: That's just what she does. It's so impressive. Another really 190 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: cool story that's just come out of Beijing. Aaron Jackson, 191 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: who's an American speed skater, has become the first black 192 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,559 Speaker 1: woman to win not only an individual speed skating medal, 193 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: but a gold one. She's also the first US athlete 194 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 1: to win gold in this event since nineteen ninety four. 195 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 1: But as you did some good behind the scenes research, 196 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: I think we also need to get her on the 197 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: podcast too. 198 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 3: Oh for sure. 199 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 2: She's started out on skates slash wheels career in roller derby. 200 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 3: Amazing, amazing it must have been. It was a bit 201 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 3: of a late research. 202 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 2: I didn't quite find her roller derby name, but we 203 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 2: will stay tuned people. 204 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: I feel like it'd be a good one all right. 205 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 3: In rugby league, we're back. 206 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 2: Friday night saw the NERLW All Stars match, which was 207 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 2: held in Sydney in front of as part of a 208 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 2: double header. There's probably good crowd of around ten thousand 209 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 2: people in to watch the ladies. It was a reversal 210 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 2: of last year's result, with Indigenous All Stars avenging that 211 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 2: humiliating defeat to the mariol Stars with a dominant eighteen 212 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 2: to eight win. Nineteen year old Indigenous All Stars winger 213 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 2: Jamie Chapman was judged best on Ground and was awarded 214 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 2: the Trishina Medal. Chapman scored two tries, including a length 215 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 2: of the field intercept try that came after the Mario 216 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 2: Stars looked destined to score following several repeat attacking sets. 217 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 2: The match was a tight contest from the start, but 218 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 2: the Indigenous All Stars led throughout and held on for 219 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 2: the victory. After the match, Chapman paid tribute to the 220 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 2: concept when the proud Camillaroy woman said she appreciated spending 221 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 2: plenty of time in All Stars Camp on the players 222 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 2: cultural history. She said, this year we spend a little 223 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 2: more time focusing on our culture, so we've got to 224 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 2: immerse ourselves in our culture, spend time with some Manchester's 225 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 2: dance practice and putting our totems into the dance. To 226 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 2: do that performance in front of our mob and our 227 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 2: families was an honor. I love that part that is 228 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 2: so intrinsically linked into this contest between in both the 229 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,199 Speaker 2: men's and the women's game. The way that some of 230 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 2: these young sporting stars actually get to spend some time 231 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 2: thinking and you know, learning about their cultural history is fantastic. 232 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think sport is such a cool way 233 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: for them to also educate other people as well for 234 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: people watching the game of footy too. I think it's 235 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:56,959 Speaker 1: really special. 236 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 237 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: In basketball, peoples have wrapped up their three games in Serbia, 238 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: finishing the tournament with two wins and a loss to 239 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: the hosts. They'd already qualified for the World Cup later 240 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: this year as we are hosting it on home soil, 241 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: but they gained some valuable game time on court together 242 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: during the tournament. Game one saw the Aussie's defeat Brazil 243 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 1: before coming up against home team Serbia in game two. 244 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: It was a tense match from the start. The last 245 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: time these two nations faced off was at the quarterfinals 246 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: at the Rio Olympics in an emotional thriller that saw 247 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: Serbia triumph seventy three to seventy one. I was at 248 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: that game and it was devastating. People were kind of 249 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: talking about the quarterfinal curse in Rio for a lot 250 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: of the team sports and it was Yeah, that was 251 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 1: a devastating one to watch. So I know this would 252 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: be an emotional fueled game for the Opals coming back 253 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: up against Serbia. They held a narrow lead late in 254 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: the second quarter when astray elbow from Steph Talbot was 255 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: deemed intentional. Upon review, the Polish ref deemed it to 256 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: a disqualifying foul and Talbot was ejected from the game. 257 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: There was a lot of talk that this may have 258 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: been an over the top call by the referee, but 259 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: that's beside the point here the Serbia. 260 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,719 Speaker 3: Your thoughts on this, look. 261 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: I'm going to come out and say the refereeing was 262 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 1: interesting at best excellent. 263 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 3: That's very political of you. Continue ha ha. 264 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: The Serbians put their noses in front early in the 265 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 1: third quarter and the Aussies just struggled to pull them back. 266 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,719 Speaker 1: Despite a fighting performance by Sammy Witcombe and a late 267 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: three from Beck Allen to cut the lead back to 268 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: five points, Serbia held on for a seventy eight to 269 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 1: seventy one victory. In Game three, the Opens were too 270 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: good for South Korea, comfortably winning seventy nine to sixty 271 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 1: one to round out their tournament. After Game two, Open's 272 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: coach Sandy Brondello addressed the talk around Liz Cambidge and 273 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: the Goat Lauren Jackson. She was very clear when speaking 274 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: after the Brazil match, saying we want players who are 275 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: committed to wearing the Green and gold. That's the most 276 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: important thing. Liz wasn't and that's okay. We support Liz 277 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,439 Speaker 1: and that she's helped us and had a great World 278 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: Cup in twenty eighteen, but it's changed now. My job 279 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: is to focus on the players we do have and 280 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: getting the right preparation. Unlike leading into Tokyo. I like 281 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: this statement because I think that there was a lot 282 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: of behavior that almost kind of have swept under the rug. 283 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: So I really liked that Liz. Sorry that Sandy has 284 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: called out Liz on this again, I don't really like 285 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: giving Liz a whole lot of airtime in this, but 286 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: I think it's really important that she's been called out 287 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: and Sandy has said, you're not contributing to the team culture, 288 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: so we actually don't want you as part of this team. 289 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 2: I just think it's refreshing to see a coach be honest, 290 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 2: you know, and to be able to be able to 291 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 2: to be honest in the media with where a player 292 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 2: is at. And you know, she summed it up really great. 293 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 2: We want players that want to play for Australia and 294 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 2: at this stage the actions and the words that Liz 295 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 2: is out there, she's not one of those players exactly. 296 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 2: In golf World number thirty hand of Green broke through 297 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 2: for her first big win on home soil on Sunday 298 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 2: with a commanding six stroke victory at the vic Open. 299 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 2: The tournament's been a groundbreakout when it comes to being 300 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 2: a mixed gender event where the men and women play 301 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 2: alongside each other. They actually play separate events as well, 302 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 2: separate competition so to speak. But it's kind of like 303 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 2: men's group pits off, women's group pits off alternatively, So yeah, 304 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 2: pretty unique on the world tour. The prize money in 305 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 2: twenty twenty two was also equal, and Green took home 306 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 2: four hundred and ten thousand dollars for her victory, which 307 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 2: was the same amount as men's winner Dimi Papadatos. Green 308 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 2: started the day with a five shot cushion over a 309 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 2: fellow Western Australian, Whitney hilly Up, but she got the 310 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 2: wobbles early after registering a couple of early bogies on 311 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 2: the front nine. She needed to dig deep on a 312 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 2: hot and windy day at thirteen B Beach, and she did, 313 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 2: showing her class. When the pressure came on, Green drained 314 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 2: three bird and a remarkable pass save on the sixteenth 315 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 2: to finish at thirteen under and claim the trophy. She 316 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 2: acknowledged the fact that she hadn't won at home and said, 317 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 2: it was really nice to finally have my name on 318 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 2: a proper trophy over here. And then vick Open was 319 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 2: her first ever professional event, so definitely was a special 320 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 2: moment for her post presentation. Apparently she'd had to make 321 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 2: good on a promise to Daniel Ricardo, so after her win, 322 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 2: Channeling the West was his famous showy celebration. 323 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 3: One of her own. 324 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 2: She removed the old golf shoe, filled it up with 325 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 2: shampers and gave us a showy, a golf showy. It 326 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 2: was done with poise and adequette and very golf like, 327 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 2: and I'm sure tasted horrible. 328 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: Horrible, And she was like, I'm not putting my shoe 329 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: back on after this. 330 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 2: No, why would you anyway? Why would you more golf showeyes? 331 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 2: I think it's I'm mom here for it. 332 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: In AFLW, the Adelaide Crows lost their first game of 333 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: the season on Sunday when an impressive Western Bulldogs outfit 334 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: edged them out eight one forty nine to seven six 335 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 1: forty eight. The Bulldogs never trailed and won away for 336 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 1: the first time since beating Adelaide at the same venue 337 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: in round one of twenty nineteen. They were led by 338 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 1: Ellie Blackburn and Kirsty Lamb and the Bulldogs dominated the 339 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: first half. They led by twenty four points in the 340 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: second quarter. The Doggies lost two players in the first 341 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: half to injury and the Crows were storming home late. 342 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: They trailed by fifteen early in the final quarter, but 343 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: goals to Ashley Woodland and Stevie Lee Thompson cut the 344 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: deficit to just three points. It was a hectic close 345 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 1: out of this game, so there were a couple more 346 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: Crows behinds, with Aaron Phillips falling just short from a 347 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: set shot and Kaylyn Gould having a close range kick 348 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 1: that was smothered. The Dogs were scrambling to prevent a 349 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: score after being pinned down in front of the Crow's goal, 350 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 1: and hold on they did. They hand at Adelaid their 351 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: first defeat of twenty twenty two and took themselves to 352 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: just outside the top six. Let's take a look at 353 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: the key story. 354 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 2: All right, it's stat time go bez eyes on sport 355 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 2: it is stat time. A recent report out of the UK, 356 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 2: undertaken by Future Sport they were working alongside the Women's 357 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,199 Speaker 2: Sports Trust, has recorded that domestic women's sport attracted a 358 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 2: record British broadcast audience of nearly thirty three million people 359 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty one. A lot of this was centered 360 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 2: around two domestic competitions that took place last year in 361 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 2: the UK, the first one being the one hundred Cricket 362 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 2: Tournament and the other one obviously being the FA Women's 363 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 2: Super League Soccer tournament. They were the two biggest drivers, 364 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 2: bringing in a combined eleven million new viewers to women's sport. 365 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 2: I think that new word is probably the important part. 366 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that's the cool part, is trying 367 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: to we're probably trying to strive for equality in a 368 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: lot of areas, but also recognizing that women's sport is 369 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,479 Speaker 1: a different product. So cool that we're getting those new viewers. 370 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,400 Speaker 1: And the report found that of the hundred's cricket tournament 371 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 1: four point nine million viewers, three point five million went 372 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: on to watch other women's sport. It also claims that 373 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: twenty five percent of viewers who watched England women's cricket 374 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: all the women's hundred last year did not watch any 375 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 1: of men's cricket on TV in twenty twenty one, which 376 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: is a pretty interesting stat to come out of that 377 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 1: and probably further pushing that idea that we can actually 378 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: create people who are fans of just women's sport alone. 379 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: They don't have to be men's sports fans who then 380 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: transition to watch the women. 381 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, and the soccer showed that too. So six point 382 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 2: two million people watched a live WSL broadcast in twenty 383 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 2: twenty one without watching a Premier League game that year. 384 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 3: So that's huge. 385 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like everyone in the UK watches 386 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 2: Premier League, so the fact that there's six point two 387 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 2: million of them that haven't but did watch a female 388 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 2: game amazing. 389 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:51,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's huge, isn't it. 390 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 3: Yeah? 391 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, So studies other studies have shown that there is 392 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,120 Speaker 1: actually a current trend of declining TV viewing hours across 393 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: all sport. However, women's sport has grown across both free 394 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 1: to air and pay TV channels in twenty twenty one. 395 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 1: We know that free to air is what we want. 396 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 1: We know that that's what's going to break down the 397 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: barriers for consuming women's sport, and the report states that 398 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: free to air broadcast brought in nineteen million new viewers 399 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: to women's sport. So the report talks about the fact 400 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: that it does still need to address building greater habit 401 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 1: and repeat viewership, an area which it does lag behind 402 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: in men's sport. And I think that's probably a representation 403 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: of the way that maybe it was from when people 404 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: were younger. Right growing up, you didn't see women's sport 405 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: on TV all the time. It wasn't part of your 406 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 1: habit that you might go to the pub every Friday 407 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: and watch women play sport on TV or whatever it was, 408 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,120 Speaker 1: and have your team. You might have supported a men's 409 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: club team and done the same thing. But this is 410 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: kind of a new era I find for people who 411 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: are fans of women's sport, where you actually can have 412 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: free to air access to your team or to your 413 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: club or to your country competing, so that you can 414 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: now become a regular viewer of it. 415 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 3: Would you agree, Yeah, absolutely. 416 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 2: I think the word habit that you said, use their 417 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 2: clothes is really important, and that comes and comes about 418 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 2: when you when you know where you can watch the game, 419 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 2: where you know that it's going to be on this time, 420 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 2: on this channel, and it's available to you. And I 421 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 2: think that part of that is not only making available 422 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 2: to but promoting the fact that it is going to 423 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 2: be on television. We need to be better at all 424 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 2: times of promoting ourselves and our product, and I think 425 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 2: that will definitely bring about that habit forming behaviors that 426 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 2: will help improve the repeat viewership numbers. 427 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, and just to wrap it up, I like this 428 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: quote from Tammy Parlor, the chief executive and co founder 429 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: of the Women's Sport Trust. She said, we know how 430 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: important these major events are in growing viewership figures, but 431 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: we want this growth to be sustainable, driving greater habit 432 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 1: amongst audiences to ensure women's sport continues to be visible, viable, 433 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: and unstoppable. 434 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 2: Oh. I like that is a hashtag visible, viable, unstoppable. 435 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that might be a newcamp mate. 436 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 3: That's nice, Tammy, I like it. I like it. 437 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: Let's take a look at what to watch. The Winter 438 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: Olympics finishes up this weekend, with the closing ceremony taking 439 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: place on Sunday.
