Now, for those of us not too 57 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 3: familiar with skeleton, it's a sliding sport where single riders 58 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 3: run as fast as they can before jumping on a 59 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 3: tiny sled and hurling themselves down an icy track face down, headfirst. 60 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a thing. 61 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 3: Elite writers experience accelerations up to five g's and reach 62 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 3: speeds over one hundred and thirty k's per hour. Nara Cott, 63 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 3: who was a twenty eighteen Olympian, had an epic first run, 64 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,119 Speaker 3: breaking the track record in Saint Meritz with a time 65 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 3: of one minute. 66 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: And time is always hard to read. 67 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 3: One minute eight point seven two seconds, right, wow, welcome well. Narrencott, 68 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 3: who was a twenty eighteen Olympian, had an epic first run, 69 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 3: breaking the track record in Saint Maritz with a time 70 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 3: of one minute eight point seven two seconds. Her lightning 71 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 3: quick first run meant she went last in the second run, 72 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 3: but the pressure had no effect on the Aussie who 73 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 3: secured the gold with the second fastest run of the round. 74 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 3: Naracott was ecstatic with a result and took the opportunity 75 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 3: to call for more exposure and greatest support when she 76 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 3: said after the race, I really hope this might be 77 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 3: the catalyst to get a few more girls in the 78 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 3: sport and hopefully some more funding so we can have 79 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 3: a coach and be competitive. We are proving this year 80 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 3: that we have the athletes, it's just having the foundations 81 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 3: behind us to give us a chance. They mustn't have 82 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 3: a coach number one, and number two, your thoughts chlo 83 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 3: on jumping on a sled for your next sport. 84 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: Yeah nah, I don't think so.

Just 94 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: prior to this, she became the third woman in history 95 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: to nail the Oh what. 96 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 2: Did she do the full full, full. 97 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 1: Triple twisting back.

She talked about the fact that 107 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: she he's been putting in work on the triple for 108 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 1: a few seasons now, and she's always really grateful for 109 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: the experience that she has when things start to get tough. 110 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: Fellow Ossie Danielle Scott almost made it a double podium 111 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,799 Speaker 1: for Australia, finishing in fourth place after attempting her first 112 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: ever full full full in competition, which scored eighty point 113 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: twenty seven points after having a bit of trouble with 114 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: her landing.

Cody noted that the front side. 124 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:57,239 Speaker 3: Three three sixties, yes, we'll go with yes. The front 125 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 3: side ten eighty is new for tests. She said she 126 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 3: learned it a few months ago the Prime Parks in 127 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 3: Stubai and she was super stoked to bust it out 128 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 3: in competition over the weekend. Her second run saw her 129 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 3: score eighty six point one eight and finish a huge 130 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 3: seven points in front of Austrian Anne Gasa, who is 131 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 3: the defending Olympic Big Air champion. Cody's second run was 132 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 3: again like Laura Peal, so exceptional. It was the biggest 133 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 3: score across both the men's and women's finals at the 134 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 3: LAS Open. They now head off those kind of ex 135 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 3: gamy people to Aspen to do some more. 136 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 2: Ten eighties in Aspen before the Olympics. 137 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: Amazing in AFLW Season six is here and there's plenty 138 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: to chat about from the first two rounds. Unfortunately, Round 139 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: one was pretty well overshadowed by three star players from 140 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: their respective teams unfortunately rupturing their ACL ligaments. So we 141 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: had Izzy Huntington at the Bulldogs, Brie Davy at Collingwood, 142 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: and Brisbane Lions player Kate Lutkins who all went down 143 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: in the same round. It was really hard to watch. 144 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: It was quite heartbreaking. Good friends with a couple of 145 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: those girls and seeing them go down. Is he had 146 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: done her third aclbr he had done her second and 147 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: it's a first for Kate, so obviously season ending injury 148 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: is going to have to go in for surgery to 149 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: have it to have it repaired and go through a 150 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: pretty lengthy rehab process, and there's been a lot of 151 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: talk about it that kind of overshadowed that first round, 152 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: a lot of people coming in with a whole range 153 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: of different opinions about what it was. Is it the 154 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: part time nature, is it a physiological thing, is it 155 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: the time of year. I think it's really interesting to 156 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: see the way Aaron Phillips talked about it. So she 157 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: was on an AFLW podcast and she talked about the 158 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: fact that she started working full time hosting morning radio Breakfast, 159 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: and she talked about the fact that this is the 160 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: first time she's had a full time job outside of 161 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: just being an athlete. So throughout her entire career as 162 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: a basketballer, she could devote all of her time to 163 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: do that. So she's talked about the fact that having 164 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: to start working to really set herself up to do 165 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: something after football, it's been really bloody tough. She's joined 166 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: a number of players calling for AFLW to shift a 167 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: genuine full time program and said that I honestly believe 168 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: that when it does become a full time role, I'm 169 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: not saying that ACLS would never be a part of sport. 170 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: That's just not how it works. But I do feel 171 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: very confident in that if girls were given the opportunity 172 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: to play year round and put the time and effort 173 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: and money and practice into their body, just purely being 174 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: paid as an athlete, you've got to believe there's going 175 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: to be less injuries. There's also been some discussion around 176 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: the start date of the AFLW season, with Phillips feeling 177 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: that the perfect time to commence would be in October, 178 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,439 Speaker 1: almost immediately after the men's AFLW season finishes. It might 179 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: clear a bit of space for the footy market, so 180 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: it's not competing against as many sports for airtime. Wherever 181 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: is he going to see the Australian Open about to start, 182 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: which the AFLW is going to have to compete with 183 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: as well, and a lot of time there's hard cricket 184 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: pitches in the way. 185 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, tell us about the hard cricket pitch. Clough had 186 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 3: a bit of a fight with one in Mackay. 187 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, so round one I kind of almost our legs 188 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: taken out and did a bit of a tumble and 189 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: landed directly on it, and my ac joint in my 190 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: shoulder has not been happy since so I would love 191 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: to play at a time of view when there's no 192 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: cricket pitches in the middle of the ground, because being 193 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: a midfielder in the AFLW, getting tackled onto a cricket 194 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: pitch is not fun. 195 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 3: No, And it's interesting, you know, doing the research leading 196 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 3: into this first step back from a bit of a break, 197 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 3: I was struck by how much amazing women's sport is 198 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 3: happening at this time of the year. You know that 199 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 3: we've got obviously the AFLW, We've got the A League 200 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 3: Women's We've got obviously netball happening overseas WBL WNBL. There's 201 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 3: a lot going on and it is traditionally a time 202 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 3: and when you add in tennis and cricket, obviously it 203 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 3: tends to be a time where people are on holidays. 204 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 3: It aren't necessarily as engaged with their normal every day. 205 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 2: I understand the need for clear air feel that, but 206 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 2: I also. 207 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 3: Think that maybe it's time we give the girls the 208 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 3: chance to play in the season and no more cricket 209 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 3: pitches In netball. 210 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 2: The Diamonds are inaction in the UK. 211 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 3: They've opened their quad series between Australian and His zeal 212 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 3: And England and South Africa with a win. It was 213 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 3: the shooting combination of Steph Wood and Gretel Boweta that 214 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 3: impressed and helped the Diamonds to a significant fifty three 215 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 3: to thirty nine victory on Sunday morning, big win over 216 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 3: the Kiwi's. 217 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 2: We love that big win. 218 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 3: Boyd absolutely crushed her trial on the goal shooter's bib, 219 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 3: missing just two goals in her sixty minutes of game time. 220 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 3: She drained thirty one of her thirty three attempts, converting 221 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 3: at ninety four percent, but proved nearly impossible to contain, 222 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 3: drawing on her basketball experience to produced layups, impressive aurial 223 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 3: skills and creative ballwork that kept the Kiwi's guessing. So 224 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 3: she's previously played in the goal attack position, she shifted 225 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 3: into the shooting circle for the return of vice captain 226 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 3: Steph Wood, who also contributed on the scoreboard with nineteen 227 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 3: goals at eighty six percent accuracy. 228 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 2: The Wood and Boweta experience. 229 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 3: Was so successful it forced the Silver Ferns to try 230 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 3: and shift their defensive shape and tactics in an attempt 231 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 3: to shut down the Aussie pair. The Diamonds backed up 232 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 3: their Round one win with another dominants play against South 233 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 3: Africa on Monday morning. The sixty to forty wins sees 234 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,319 Speaker 3: the Diamonds secure their place in the final of the 235 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,079 Speaker 3: quad series after England beat the Silver Ferns forty nine 236 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 3: to forty six. The Aussies will face off against the 237 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 3: host England on Wednesday morning our time in the final 238 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 3: round matches before going cup hunting on Thursday. 239 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: In basketball, I can't really believe that we're nearly at 240 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: the halfway point of the WNBL season. It's been very 241 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: heavily impacted by old mate COVID nineteen that's impacted a 242 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: huge amount of the team. So we've seen, unfortunately a 243 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: lot of games canceled and postponed because too many members 244 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: of the respective teams have tested positive or been close 245 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: contacts and haven't been able to get the numbers together 246 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: to play. But the positive news big news was a 247 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: mammoth record for Kelly Wilson, who, in her nineteenth season, 248 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: played her four hundredth game of WNBL last week and 249 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: never before reached milestone in the league. Wilson has returned 250 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: from having a kid and she was as humble as ever. 251 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: She was actually a little bit uncomfortable about all the 252 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: fan fair about her ticking off this achievement, But the 253 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: fact that she's had a kid come back in her 254 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: nineteenth season, that's like, that is some seriously impressive longevity there. 255 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,319 Speaker 2: Longevity absolutely, which is handy in basketball. 256 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, it really is. 257 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 3: On and off, you know, long limbs long. Sorry, that's 258 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 3: my first bad joke. 259 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: Luckily you're still on probation. In the four hundredth game, 260 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: Unfortunately for Kelly, the UC Capitals couldn't get it done 261 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: on the court, going down to the perth Links sixty 262 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: nine to eighty eight. 263 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 3: In athletics, our great friend Jess Hall just keeps getting better. 264 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 3: Over the weekend, she smashed a twenty one year old 265 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 3: record at an indoor event in Texas. I broke the 266 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 3: Australian three thousand meter indoor record, running eight minutes, thirty 267 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 3: nine points seventy nine seconds, smashing Benina Willis's record by 268 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 3: almost three seconds. The lining quick run means Jess has 269 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 3: qualified for the World Athletics Indoor Championships, which will be 270 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 3: held in Belgrade, Serbia, starting on the eighteenth of March. 271 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the key story in soccer. 272 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 1: The Matildas are currently preparing for the Asian Cup that 273 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: kicks off this Friday. Throughout the forty seven year history 274 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: of the competition, women's teams have not received any prize 275 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: money for their efforts. For the first time, in twenty 276 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: twenty two, the champion of the AFC Women's Asian Cup 277 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: will receive a prize perse of US one million dollars 278 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: about one point four million Australian while the runners up 279 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: and losing semi finalists will earn US five hundred k 280 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: and US one fifty k respectively. 281 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 3: So in direct comparison, at the twenty nineteen Men's Asian 282 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 3: Cup in the IE, the total prize plot for the 283 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 3: teams was US fourteen point eight million, with the winning 284 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 3: team receiving US five million and the runners up receiving 285 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 3: US three million dollars. 286 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 2: Each of the twenty four teams, including the. 287 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 3: Soccer Who's actually received US two hundred thousand dollars just for. 288 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: We've seen it in the World Cup in particular, we 289 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: saw the US women's soccer team with their massive call 290 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: out and their strike for equal pay, and a lot 291 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,599 Speaker 1: of fans across the globe, particularly in the US, but 292 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: across the Globe got behind this movement that I think 293 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: the US women were kind of at the forefront ofp 294 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: throughout the World Cup, and unfortunately this Asian Cup example 295 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: is another one where like the fact that it's twenty 296 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: twenty two and it's the first time they're receiving prize money, 297 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: and I think they've probably tried to spin it in 298 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: a positive light like the women are finally getting paid, 299 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: but there's still a really significant difference in the amount 300 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: of prize money that's being distributed between the men's and 301 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: the women's. 302 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 3: And let's think about the teams competing at this Asian 303 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 3: Cup that there then becomes a complete out of pocket 304 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 3: expense for all of those associations throughout Asia. Look, I 305 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 3: don't know if the top of my head, but I 306 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 3: can imagine there'd big teams that haven't attended in the 307 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 3: past because they literally can't afford to. 308 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, correct, we do love stats. Usually we don't love 309 00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: this stat But another sobering figure, I guess to demon's 310 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: straight this inequality. fIF I'm going to double the women's 311 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: World Cup prize pot to US sixty million dollars for 312 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty three World Cup. That's going to excitingly 313 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: be held on Australian and New Zealand soil, while the 314 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: pot for this year's Men's World Cup in Qatar has 315 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: been boosted to US four hundred and forty million dollars, 316 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: with the single team that wins the men's tournament pocketing 317 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: US fifty million dollars, almost the entire pot that the 318 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: women's competition will distribute to each of its thirty two 319 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: participating nations. There's a long way to go. 320 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 3: There's some big numbers there and there's a big gap 321 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 3: in between those big numbers. 322 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're working on an analogy. This might be an 323 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: Instagram real soon because there's there's absolutely some this needs 324 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: to be addressed and I think sometimes people who don't 325 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: understand why funding and prize money is so important, why 326 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: the equality of that is so important. Yeah, it's got 327 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: huge implications for years to come. Now it's time for 328 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: the budget smuggler ice bath. 329 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 3: The Nutrigain series kicked off over the weekend at North 330 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 3: Bondai Beach.

It's freezing down there, so 344 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 5: I'm still not sure how I got to pursue that 345 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 5: as my main sport and passion. I started as a 346 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 5: nipper when my sister joined the sport. I was more 347 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 5: of a summer and runner growing up, but up into 348 00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 5: year twelve, I did athletics, cross country, water polo, hockey, 349 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 5: swimming and surf life saving, so I didn't really kind 350 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 5: of specialize until I finished school. I moved up to 351 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 5: the Gold Coast to study and that's when I really 352 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 5: started to kind of pursue surf life saving and Iron 353 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 5: Woman racing. 354 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: What was it about the sport that drew you in 355 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 1: once you're up on the Gold Coast. 356 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 5: What I loved about it most when I was younger 357 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 5: was probably that I made really good friends down at 358 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 5: Ocean Grove and at the beach, and I just used 359 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,360 Speaker 5: to love going down to the beach, baked out every 360 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 5: afternoon to. 361 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 4: Try and drive me down just so that I could 362 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:31,360 Speaker 4: see my friends. 363 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 5: But then after that, I think what I really love 364 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 5: about it the most is just being out in the 365 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 5: ocean and being in the surf. And I love sport, 366 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 5: but kind of pool swimming to me wasn't as exciting, 367 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,239 Speaker 5: And so I love how every day's a little bit 368 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 5: different and you never know what you're going to get. 369 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 1: When you were young, did you see it being a 370 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 1: viable option for you as an athlete? Like, did you 371 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: see the pathways that were in place for you to 372 00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 1: become an iron Woman? No? 373 00:17:59,119 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 4: Absolutely not. 374 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 5: I thought I knew that there was the kind of 375 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 5: professional nut screen iron Woman series happening, but I grew 376 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 5: up without social media, so I didn't really know what 377 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 5: was going on, and usually when it was on TV, 378 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 5: I was out doing sport myself, and so I kind 379 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 5: of had the dream of making the Iron Woman series. 380 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 5: But my goal was to go up to the Gold 381 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 5: Coast do University and dabble in a little bit of 382 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 5: Iron Woman racing and then as soon as I finished 383 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 5: my studies, move back and get a quote, proper job 384 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 5: and that would be it. 385 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 4: And here I am. 386 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 5: I'm thirty one and I've been racing for thirteen years 387 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,199 Speaker 5: in the Ironman series. 388 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: That's very cool. You've made a good life out of it. 389 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,880 Speaker 1: You've done very well and you've had a great start 390 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: over the weekend racing in bond Die at Bondai Beach, 391 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: so took out gold in round one, silver and round 392 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: two and then prepared for round three, but because of 393 00:18:55,440 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: the tsunami warning that's been postponed. Can you talk us 394 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: through the first two rounds and how were you performed there? 395 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, I was just feeling really good. 396 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 5: The weekend before I also raced in North Pond out 397 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 5: the Summer of Surf, which is another event, and I 398 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 5: won that one, so I was kind of just feeling 399 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 5: really good. I've done a fair bit of training, as 400 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 5: we all do, but yeah, fair bit of training with 401 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 5: Northcliff and my coach, Bloody, we've got a really good 402 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 5: group of girls there, so we all push each other 403 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 5: and just heading into round one, I was feeling good 404 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 5: at seeing Duro. So we do two iron women in 405 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 5: a row, which is board swim ski in an M shape. 406 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 5: We go in and out of the break twice for 407 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 5: each leg and we do that twice in a row. 408 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,439 Speaker 5: So it's kind of forty forty five minutes of continuous racing. 409 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 5: So yeah, I was looking forward to that one the 410 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 5: most and I just happened to win it, which I 411 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 5: was immutally happy about. I was probably a little bit 412 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 5: lucky at one point made a really good decision to 413 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,679 Speaker 5: pull ahead, and in surf, when you can get a 414 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 5: bit of a gap with the wave breaking, it does 415 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 5: make it a little bit easier to keep pulling ahead. 416 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 5: And in this second round it was really really short 417 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 5: sharp racing. We had it was called wavecross, a lot 418 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 5: of different racing formats that we did and people were 419 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,159 Speaker 5: eliminated and so the last race it was four of 420 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 5: us in there and Lana Wood Rogers one. I got second, 421 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 5: but it was really short, sharp and closer racing. 422 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: And so what is going to happen? So because of 423 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,199 Speaker 1: the postponement, not exactly sure what's going to happen with 424 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: round three and then still to come will also be 425 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: rounds four, five, and six. So what will that look 426 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: like from your end? 427 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was crazy waking up and all being nervous. 428 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 5: You do your pre race warm up and have your 429 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 5: food and everything set to go, and then the tsunami 430 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 5: warning came and we were told that we couldn't race. 431 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 5: So it was pretty disappointing, especially kind of when I 432 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 5: was feeling really good. 433 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 4: So I actually have no idea when that one is 434 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:51,919 Speaker 4: going to be happening. 435 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 5: I don't think that they've quite figured that one out yet, 436 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 5: so all the athletes are kind of just waiting to hear. 437 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 5: But rounds four, five, and six will definitely be on 438 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 5: well hopefully depending. 439 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 4: Everything else going on in the ocean. 440 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 5: But the fourth, fifth, and sixth of February on the 441 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 5: Gold Coast at Kara And interested. 442 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: To know, looking at the Iron Series as a sport, 443 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: obviously competing as a female athlete throughout your career, have 444 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: you noticed major differences between the men and women or 445 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: any specific experiences. Has it improved or how does that 446 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: look like from your end? 447 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm really proud to say now that it's very 448 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,919 Speaker 5: even we all race for the same prize money, we 449 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 5: all have the same airtime. 450 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 4: It's probably one of the things that I love about. 451 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 5: Our sport is it is very even between males and females. 452 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 5: It wasn't always that way when I was first in 453 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 5: the sport. We raced for slightly different prize money in 454 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 5: different events and also less distances, so we might do 455 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,959 Speaker 5: two irons when the men might do three, and that 456 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 5: kind of thing. And there were some female athletes before 457 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 5: me who were the one that we're kind of championing 458 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 5: that to change, and luckily it has or thankfully it 459 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 5: has been able to change. And I think now we 460 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 5: really do show that we are, you know, the same 461 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 5: in the way that we race and how we apply 462 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 5: ourselves and how we train so and we're all really 463 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 5: good friends and train together. 464 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 4: So it's great and it's how it should be. 465 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. I love that. I think there's plenty of 466 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: other sports that could follow suits. So that's really cool 467 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: to hear the way that there's a quality across the board. 468 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: That's awesome.
