1
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to the RAP, a weekly podcast covering women's sports news.

2
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 2: Meles, what have we got this week?

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 3: We're going to kick off around the grounds with some

4
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 3: non Olympic news, Rugby league boycotting the World Cup, the

5
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 3: netball season suspended, and Minji Lee winter first golf Major.

6
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: For our key story, we'll look at the Norwegian beach

7
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: handball team who were fined for wearing shorts instead of

8
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: bikini bottoms.

9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: And then Millie, we get to chat ol Olympics. Oh my,

10
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: what a few days it's been. I can't wait one word, Arnie.

11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 3: I have so much to say about that woman and

12
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 3: everything we've seen this week, but we'll probably chat through

13
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 3: it in the episode. So let's take a look around

14
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 3: the grounds.

15
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: In rugby league, the Australian Rugby League Commission and the

16
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: New Zealand Rugby League have requested the twenty twenty one

17
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: Rugby League World Cup in England to be postponed twelve months,

18
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: citing player world and safety concerns over COVID nineteen. They've

19
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: advised the organizers that they will be boycotting the tournament,

20
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: which is scheduled to be held in October and November

21
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: this year. This means both the men's and women's teams

22
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: from each country will miss out on the World Cup.

23
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: Should organize as proceed as planned, the Jillarus and Kiwi

24
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: Ferns could play each other at the end of the

25
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: year to make up for not taking part in this

26
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: year's World Cup. The NROLW clubs are seeking more clarity

27
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: around what this season looks like for them given the

28
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: current COVID outbreak. The girls have talked a lot about

29
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: how much they've sacrificed so far in the competition. The

30
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: league has expanded in really good news to include six

31
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: teams rather than the previous four teams, but the girls

32
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: are really hoping that it continues to expand the length

33
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: of the season rather than taking backward steps because of COVID.

34
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 3: In Netbaal, there were no games last weekend as the

35
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 3: teams all made a crazy dashed Queensland from Adelaide to

36
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 3: ensure they could finish the comp It was decided that,

37
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 3: given the huge disruption COVID has caused over the last

38
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 3: few weeks, that all matches will be suspended and the

39
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 3: final three rounds are rescheduled. The revamped draw will see

40
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 3: midweek matches for round twelve, with double headers to be

41
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 3: played at Brisbane's Nissan Arena on Tuesday, the twenty seventh

42
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 3: of July and Wednesday, the twenty.

43
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: Eighth of July.

44
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 3: Round thirteen and fourteen will be played out over the

45
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 3: ensuing ten days, with final schedule to start on Saturday,

46
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 3: the fourteenth of August. All matches will be broadcast on

47
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 3: the Nine network or Telstra TV and via the Netball

48
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 3: Live app, meaning fans across the country can watch the

49
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 3: world's best netball league live as it gets down to

50
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 3: the business end of the season.

51
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: In golf, Australia's Minji Lee overturned a seven shot deficit

52
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: before beating South Korea's Geong and Lee six in a

53
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 1: playoff to win her first major title in the Even Championship.

54
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: Lee carded a final round of sixty four to set

55
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 1: the clubhouse target of eighteen under par and briefly held

56
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: a two shot lead when she made a fourth birdie

57
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: in the last five holes. She wrapped it up by

58
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 1: lipping out for eagle before tapping in for a winning birdie. Look,

59
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: there's a lot of words in there that didn't make

60
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: a lot of sense to me, but for those who

61
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: don't play a whole lot of golf. A birdie means

62
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: you score one stroke under par, while an eagle is

63
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: a score of two under par.

64
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: So that's really good. I think it is. I don't

65
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 2: really know, but it sounds good. Mills. It's time let's

66
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: jump into the Olympics. Yes, my favorite.

67
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 3: Starting off with soccer, the Matilda's got their Olympic campaign

68
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 3: off to a great start defeating the Football Ferns two

69
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 3: to one on Wednesday night. Sam Kerr set up to

70
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 3: Miki Yellop who found the back of the net before

71
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 3: Steph Katlee Corner connected a wonderful header from sam Kerr.

72
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 3: Australia then took on Sweden for Game two. This game

73
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 3: was always going to be a challenge for the Matildas,

74
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 3: with the Swedes having rolled the highly fancied US team

75
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 3: two days earlier three zip. Sam Kerr was again in

76
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 3: fine form, scoring two goals, but it wasn't enough against

77
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 3: the Swedes four. Next up, the Aussies face the US

78
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 3: in their final pool match on Tuesday night and we

79
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 3: will see them advance, but anything less than all three

80
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 3: points may have the Matilda's looking to other results to

81
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 3: qualify for the quarterfinals. As one of the two best

82
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 3: third place finishers in softball. Australia opened the Tokyo Olympics

83
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 3: with a crushing eight one loss to Japan, the Rio

84
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 3: twenty sixteen gold medalists. They rallied back, defeating Italy one

85
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 3: nil and a nail biter.

86
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 2: On Thursday.

87
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 1: Australia looked much more comfortable with their single run by

88
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: Jade Wall in the second innings. The Assi's played arguably

89
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: their best game of the tournament against world number one

90
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: American team, but went down two to one in the

91
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: extra eighth innings. The scores were locked at nil all

92
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: after seven innings, but the Americans managed to get two

93
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: runners across home base in the extra eighth inning to

94
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: win a nail bitter.

95
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 3: In tennis, the Aussies haven't fared well in the women's

96
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 3: singles in Tokyo, with both Sam Stoza and world number

97
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,239
Speaker 3: one Ash Barty going down in their first round single

98
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 3: matches over the weekend. Quite a big loss for Ashbarti,

99
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 3: I think coming off the back of Wimbledon, it was

100
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,559
Speaker 3: quite a shock to see her out in the first

101
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 3: singles round. She mentioned that she just felt a little

102
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 3: bit erratic and she kind of I think was a

103
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 3: bit thrown by the fact that she really didn't get

104
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 3: make enough balls in the game. But they'll now both

105
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 3: turn their attention to the doubles, where Barty will partner

106
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 3: with Storm Sanders and Stoz are with Ellen Prez.

107
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: Surfing made its Olympic debut over the weekend and the

108
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: Aussie team powered through the first round with heat victories

109
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: to both Steph Gilmour and Sally Fitzgibbons. Both surfers went

110
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: straight through to round three after winning their heats at

111
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: Surugasaki Beach in each in Amea, which is about a

112
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: two hour drive from downtown Tokyo. Round one saw pretty

113
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: small beach break conditions, but with a potential typhoon offshore,

114
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: there's hope that the swell size will kick up over

115
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: the next few days. Round three on Monday mornings sadly

116
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: saw Steph get knocked out after she was beaten by

117
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: South Africa's Bianca buden Dag. You could see how visibly

118
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: upset Steph was after losing that one. I think she

119
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: would have been incredibly disappointed with that result. Sally fits

120
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: won her heat. It's paul in a dough of France

121
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: and is now headed to the quarterfinals.

122
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 3: In swimming, Australia's first gold medal was won in the

123
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 3: pool on Sunday, and it came from the women's four

124
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 3: by one hundred meter freestyle relay team, who absolutely blew

125
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 3: every other country out of the water. The relay team,

126
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 3: consisting of Brontie Campbell, Meg Harris, Emma mckehon and Kate Campbell,

127
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 3: set a new world record, shaving three tenths of a

128
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 3: second off their previous best to break the three point

129
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 3: thirty mark for the first time in history, stopping the

130
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 3: clock at three twenty nine sixty nine. What a race

131
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 3: this was, Chloe. I honestly, I think probably we could

132
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 3: speak for most of Australia that they were Probably everyone

133
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 3: was up on their feet screaming at the television. Well,

134
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 3: I surely was. It was incredible.

135
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 2: It was so cool.

136
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: It was reminding me like back in the day when

137
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: when Thorpe used to swim in the relay, like yes, yeah,

138
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: it felt like a history making moment and the fact

139
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: that they yeah, they've done it three times in a

140
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: row is absolutely huge.

141
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. So they've won that Olympic gold at London twenty

142
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 3: twelve and in Rio twenty sixteen, and Kate Campbell has

143
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 3: been a member of that team in all three of

144
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 3: those gold medal winning teams. It was pretty awesome to see.

145
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 3: Obviously there was the older competitors like Kate Campbell, obviously

146
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 3: Brontie Campbell ed and mckad been around for a while.

147
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 3: But in the heats, obviously there was Meg Harris who

148
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 3: competed in the final, but also who's ad is nineteen

149
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 3: years old, and then the heats for the four by

150
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 3: one hundred relay was also seventeen year old Molly O'Callaghan,

151
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 3: who is the youngest member of the Australian Olympic team

152
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 3: for Tokyo. So just awesome to see this younger group

153
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 3: of athletes coming through the ranks under these the likes

154
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 3: of Kate Campbell. Awesome to see that next generation.

155
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 2: Talking about that next generally Arion Titmas. Holy Molly.

156
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: She is twenty years old and she absolutely smashed her

157
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: Olympic debut. She won the four hundred meter freestyle event,

158
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: beating her US rival Katie Lidecki. Talk me through your

159
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: emotions in this race.

160
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 3: Honestly, I think it was like I was sweating. Afterwards,

161
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 3: I felt like I had done it exercise. I was

162
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:07,239
Speaker 3: so stressed, but it was I don't and it's funny.

163
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 3: I screamed at the television, like they can hear me.

164
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 3: I'm like, come on, but I think yeah, as it's

165
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 3: similar with the four x one hundred meter relay, I

166
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 3: think everyone in Australia was rallying behind arian as she

167
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 3: took on Katie and it was just an incredible race

168
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 3: to watch her and her coach, Dean Boxel. They put

169
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: so much time into their preparation and it's cool to see.

170
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 3: I guess there's obviously different strategies with how people go out,

171
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 3: especially for a race like a four hundred, which is

172
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 3: obviously that kind of middle length. It's not a long

173
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 3: paced event, where with the fifteen hundred or the eight hundred,

174
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 3: it's not really your typical sprint event. So it's really

175
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 3: that middle distance and seeing obviously Katie led probably six

176
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 3: out of the eight laps of that race and it

177
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 3: wasn't until probably that last seventy five meters when Ariane

178
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 3: really took over, So it was just incredible to watch.

179
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 3: I think her coming hard, coming home hard in that

180
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 3: last few meters was just incredible.

181
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I loved the live cross to the family

182
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: back home watching and they were just all in tears.

183
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: I was in tears, but they were in more tears.

184
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 2: That's a good sentence. Her granny and the grandpa on

185
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: the couch. Oh, they were beautiful.

186
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 1: But it was so cool to see like you just

187
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: knew that they knew how much hard work could gone

188
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: into that gold medal.

189
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 2: I think that was really special.

190
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

191
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

192
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 3: And finally in canoe slalom, Jess Fox has kicked off

193
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 3: her Olympic campaign. This is her third Olympic Games. She's

194
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 3: obviously got her bronze and silver, so there's a lot

195
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 3: of not I don't want to say pressure on to

196
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 3: win gold this time around, but I think a lot

197
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 3: of Australia is rallying behind Jess to win that gold medal.

198
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 3: She had the two heat events on Sunday. The K

199
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 3: one she qualified first overall. She finished second in the

200
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 3: first run and then first overall in the second run

201
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 3: of the heats. She definitely looked a little bit more

202
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 3: I think relaxed on the on the course the second

203
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 3: time around. I think the fact that they don't get

204
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 3: to practice on the course before they jump on it

205
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 3: blows my mind because I don't know how they managed

206
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 3: to pull themselves through a giant spa bath, A spa bath,

207
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 3: as I like to describe what it looks like. Yeah, yeah,

208
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 3: So she obviously looked a lot more comfortable on that

209
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 3: second run through, and her competitor Rikarda Funk looked very,

210
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 3: very composed as well. So Tuesday's final will be interesting

211
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 3: seeing Funk and Fox golf against each other, but obviously

212
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 3: rallying behind Jess and really hope she can get the

213
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 3: gold in this one.

214
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the key story. So, the

215
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: Norwegian women's beach handball team have protested against the European

216
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 1: Handball Federation's rules that they have to wear bikini bottoms

217
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: during competition. They've instead chosen to wear shorts. The federation

218
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: were not impressed and I have since fined each of

219
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: the players one hundred and fifty euros, which is about

220
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy seven dollars per player, for wearing

221
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: shorts instead of the required bikini bottoms against Spain at

222
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: the European Beach Handball Championships in Bulgaria. The girls took

223
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: to social media and have achieved have received a huge

224
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: amount of support from all across the world, people claiming

225
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: that these girls should have every right to choose what

226
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: they want to wear in competition. These words that it's

227
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: actually really gross, these words that specify the bikinis. Female

228
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: athletes must wear bikini bottoms with a close fit and

229
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: cut on an upward angle towards the top of the leg.

230
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: The side width must be a maximum of ten centimeters.

231
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 2: That is disgusting.

232
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's gross. So I love what these girls

233
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: have done. And the coolest part is that Pink, the singer,

234
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: the one with Pink Hare, has offered to pay the

235
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: fine handed to the beach handball team. I also loved

236
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 1: that it's hamball. Did you ever play that in p

237
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: because that was definitely.

238
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 3: The best sport?

239
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: Was great, But Pink took it to it out and

240
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: said she will offer to pay the fine. So it's

241
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: been really cool to see the way that that's kind

242
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 1: of taken off around the world and the amount of

243
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 1: support that these girls have received.

244
00:11:59,600 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

245
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

246
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 3: In a kind of similar but different story, Germany's female

247
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 3: gymnast stood out from the other Tokyo Olympic competitors on

248
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 3: Sunday during a team qualifying round by wearing unitards rather

249
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 3: than traditional leotards. They first wore the bodysuits in competition

250
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 3: during the European Championships in April, when the German Gymnastics

251
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 3: Federation said the choice of apparel was meant to counteract

252
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 3: the sexualization in the sport. Germany's Elizabeth Sitz said, we

253
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 3: wanted to show that every woman, everybody should decide what

254
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 3: to wear. I think this is really powerful seeing I

255
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 3: saw the image of these girls and I think it's

256
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 3: so true. Like there's so many uniforms, and we've talked

257
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 3: about this across the podcast on numerous occasions about these

258
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 3: I guess outdated uniforms that women are I guess forced

259
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 3: to wear in sport, and it's awesome to see these

260
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 3: girls empowering hopefully other women to do the same thing

261
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 3: and gymnastics if they're not comfortable wearing the leotards, and

262
00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 3: I think it's incredibly I actually share this story wry

263
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 3: about the Beach Handball team by so many people, and

264
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 3: I think it was going very viol on viral on

265
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 3: social media, and it's just I think it's the same

266
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 3: thing of these organizations kind of I guess policing and

267
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 3: controlling women's bodies, and it's so disappointing to constantly see

268
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 3: the scene where women can't just go out there and

269
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 3: feel comfortable in what they're wearing to perform their best.

270
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 3: It comes down to what they have to wear. I think, yeah,

271
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 3: it's just so outdated.

272
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 2: Give women the choice. Absolutely, let's take a look at

273
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 2: what to watch.

274
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 3: So, in a bit of a different news to the Olympics,
