Speaker 1: Here at Two Good Sports, we would like to acknowledge

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: the traditional owners of the land on which we record

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 1: this podcast. There were Injurie people, this land was never seated,

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: always was, always will be Jah Dolla sport, tell me

Speaker 1: we love sport. That is something that you have said

6
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: to me NonStop over our entire lives. But this morning

7
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: it's different.

8
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: This morning it hit differently. Welcome to Two Good Sports,

9
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: Green and Gold edition, your unofficial games podcast. And it

10
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 2: physically pained us to not have episodes over the weekend.

11
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: We were going to just come in here and press

12
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 2: record ourselves because it was the most unbelievable hour of

13
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: power that we thought that we'd see in sport that

14
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: happened over the weekend. But then Georgie me minutes ago

15
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 2: we witnessed one of the greatest Games finals of all

16
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: times in the men's one hundred meter final, and my god,

17
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 2: Noah Lyles, after all the build up after the sprint docco,

18
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: he did it, and we have a new hero in

19
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: world track.

20
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: Oh yes, we will get to Noah. But first of all,

21
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: dear listener, we will just have a little bit of

22
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: a summary about exactly what you have missed since the

23
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: last time we chatted, because if we look at the

24
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: medal tally in real time, Australia sits in number four silver.

25
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: We're still number four twelve golds overall. Sorry I should

26
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: say that again, twelve everyone you're listening. I didn't want

27
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: to rush through that. Twelve golds, eleven silvers, eight bronzes,

28
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: thirty one medals since we last spoke four golds, five silvers.

29
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 2: Four bronze and Australia having twelve golds after day eight

30
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 2: of competition it's now day nine, but after day eight

31
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 2: is the best that we've ever done at a Games.

32
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: So we had eleven in Athens yea, and we had

33
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: ten in Sydney. So the pantos So if you feel

34
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 2: like Ossie's are flying, it's because we are. Oh yeah,

35
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: we absolutely are. And we have made Australian track and

36
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: field history. So we will be getting to that later,

37
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: but for now, Noah last.

38
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: Yes, let's go back. Let's go back to where we

39
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: started because Noah Lyles now, two good sports listeners who

40
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: listen every single week will know that we have had

41
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: a kind of recent obsession with this man after the

42
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: Sprint documentary series on Netflix, and I tell you what

43
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: didn't he live up to the hype, jommy, one of

44
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: the greatest events you called it, that we have ever seen.

45
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: When his welcome was a fifty meter run. Yes, the life.

46
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: He ran out to the crowd and put his arms

47
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 2: up and honestly was halfway down the track that he

48
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 2: was about to compete on. I went, has any athlete

49
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: in history talked the talk before they walked the run? Yeah?

50
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: I don't think so.

51
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 2: And just to give for those who haven't seen it,

52
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: please go back and have the better ten seconds of

53
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: your life, because how close this was is they were separated.

54
00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 2: He and Kashane Thompson were separated by five thousandth of

55
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 2: a second one to eight In the men's one hundred

56
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: meter final, who all ran under ten seconds, were separated

57
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: by point one two of a second.

58
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: It was the greatest men's one hundred meter final I

59
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: think that I've ever seen. And I'm including some of

60
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: you sain Bolts totally races in that because those weren't close.

61
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 1: I love them for completely different reasons because I got

62
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: to see bolt just absolutely leg it. But this was

63
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: one where we did not know who had won. The

64
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 1: athletes didn't know who had won for so long.

65
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: Afterwards, fare a thought for the director who put a

66
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: close up on Thompson. Yeah, so someone in real time

67
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: has thought the Jamaicans got him here quick put a

68
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: close up on him.

69
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: But he else had thought who he'd won it? Noah

70
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: Lyles himself, Yes, he said. He went up to him

71
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: and he was basically being like, congratulations, I think you've

72
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: got me. I think you've done it. And then you

73
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: just see the complete switch where he sees that his

74
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 1: name is above Thompson's and he goes.

75
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: Oh, I thought he had it.

76
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: I'm amazing.

77
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: And also Thompson who came out and basically his warm

78
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: up was to act like the Hulk. Oh yeah. And

79
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: that is why there are some moments Steorgy that just

80
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: make you think, I love sport and you can get

81
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 2: way down sometimes with some of the stories that we

82
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 2: have to cover and we'll do an episode after the

83
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: games because it's too nuanced to talk about it now.

84
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: But what we're seeing in women's boxing and just some

85
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 2: of the storylines where you feel like there are no

86
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: winners in this race. It just let you, as the spectator,

87
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 2: sit there in complete anticipation and watch these people do

88
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 2: the unthinkable and know that it was a culmination of

89
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 2: their life work and see a dream come true and

90
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 2: there is nothing nothing more magical.

91
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that what makes Noah Lyle so

92
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: special is that you and I care about him so much.

93
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: And he's not a story.

94
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: He's American. We're wired to feel otherwise.

95
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: And we're like hoping that he wins above all, hope.

96
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: I was so nervous. I was so anxious in the

97
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: lead up to that race. They also held them on

98
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: the start for a million years.

99
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 2: Before million years, we need to find out how many

100
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: times nine point seven eighty four goes into how long

101
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 2: they had to wait on the blocks.

102
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: Honestly, it was such a great race. Everyone spare yourself

103
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: the nine point seven eight four seconds because what a

104
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: time to be alive. And jelmy, I want to stay with.

105
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 2: The track because just before this event, Yeah, just before.

106
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: This event, we achieved something very very rare for Australia,

107
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: for Team Australia, and that was two medals in the

108
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: one event.

109
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 2: What so it's the first time since nineteen sixty eight

110
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: that Australia won two medals in the same track and

111
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: field event. I get if we count the way the

112
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 2: Americans do. We technically won the Hydro, We won the

113
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 2: Hygi and that was thanks to Nikola Olislagger's who you

114
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 2: remember won silver in Tokyo. So she backed it up

115
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 2: back to back silver, which is incredible. And Eleanor Patterson,

116
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 2: who I feel like sometimes is lost in the wash

117
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 2: with how great Nikola is, but she is a star

118
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 2: in her own right, and she died for bronze with

119
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 2: the Ukrainian. It was very Australia Ukraine.

120
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: Isn't it?

121
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 2: Yes, isn't it?

122
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: Ukrainians very good at high jump, but also us two turns.

123
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 2: Out it is so Nikola's peeb is two point zero

124
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: three meters and so the jump that eventually won gold

125
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 2: was two point zero two. So Nicola did clear out

126
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 2: two meters. And dear listener, if you're talking about these

127
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: sort of numbers at home, I find your tape measure,

128
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 2: get two meters out and mark it on something in

129
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 2: your house, and then imagine running and jumping over it,

130
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 2: because it is unbelievable what they achieve. And Nicola, you remember,

131
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 2: is the lovely, very spiritual girl that writes in her

132
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 2: diary after every jump, and what you see is what

133
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 2: you get. I swear if you break her open, there's

134
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,799
Speaker 2: butterflies and rainbows. She is just such a wonderfully sweet,

135
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 2: positive person. She's been with the same coach since she

136
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 2: was twelve. She's so consistently performed on this stage, and

137
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 2: to see her so thrilled with back to back silver

138
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: in track and field for Australia just doesn't happen.

139
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: I would say that I think that our track team

140
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: has out achieved anything we've ever really imagined in the athletics. Yes,

141
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: for a long time, right.

142
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 2: Yes, well, I think it's I have to correct you

143
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: only because field athletes get very.

144
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: Angry i'm referred to.

145
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 2: But it is a thing because I think track, as

146
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 2: we've talked about today, is the glamour events. Yes, and

147
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 2: all of Australia, all of Australian field, is going high there. Yeah, hey, guys,

148
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 2: you want a metal chance holding up the team, get

149
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: on our back. We are already carrying the shot put.

150
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 2: Why don't we just carry you as well? Because it

151
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 2: is going to be amazing and we still have so

152
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 2: many track athletes, see I'm doing it as well. We

153
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 2: still have so many field athletes left that have good chances.

154
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 2: But I think that it was amazing to see that

155
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 2: in the high jump, and again just wonderful athletes. It's

156
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,239
Speaker 2: wonderful competitors. And we do need to mention a quick

157
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 2: note to the women's eight hundred meters with Abby Caldwell

158
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 2: and Claudia Hollingsworth. Remember the name because she is only

159
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 2: nineteen and they both had valiant efforts in their debut,

160
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 2: bowing out in the semi final. But to reach a

161
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 2: semifinal at nineteen years of age, yeah, watch.

162
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: Out la very. Oh yes, I think that that is

163
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: one to watch. Jell me just to quick check in

164
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: welfare check how you doing, because athletics is your thing.

165
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: How you feeling? How's our hearts?

166
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 2: I physically leapt off the couch this morning, which is

167
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 2: very difficult to do twenty four weeks pregnant, like I

168
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 2: genuinely think I strained something. Watching the men's one hundred

169
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: meters it is it lights me up, and it's every

170
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 2: now and then you have moments where you realize I

171
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 2: can't believe I get to talk about sport for a

172
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 2: living and I somehow pulled this off. I would be

173
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 2: talking to anyone who would listen today the way that

174
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,080
Speaker 2: you and I have spoken off the top and it

175
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 2: is just a joy to watch and be a part of.

176
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 2: But it is very if the welfare check is am

177
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 2: I able to do anything else in life over the

178
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: next week.

179
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely not absolutely solutely. You're gonna say, people say hi,

180
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: and you'll be like, did you see Noah?

181
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 2: Please just don't don't look at me, don't talk to me.

182
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 2: So that is the track and field events overnight. But

183
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 2: again in swimming, we've wrapped up swimming. We almost almost

184
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 2: beat the US in the traditional way of counting gold.

185
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: We were one one less. But amazing to see Meg

186
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 2: Harris in the fifty meter freestyle just pull out all

187
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 2: the stops of PB to win silver, silver.

188
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: And I have to say, I feel like, dear listener,

189
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: if you're gonna watch anything back after Nola I was

190
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: winning the one hundred meters, then watch this race. Because

191
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: Meg Harris's reaction to that silver medal, you'd think she'd

192
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: won fourteen golds like it was just pure joy. It

193
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: was shock. She couldn't believe it. She was in one

194
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: of the outside lanes, she was not in the middle.

195
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: Sarah shows from one once again, the incredible sprinter from.

196
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 2: She has been swimming for four hundred years.

197
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: Four thousand years. Yeah, it's actually really a personal attack

198
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: when you find out she's actually only thirty, so younger

199
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: than both of us.

200
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 2: And I was like, she's been.

201
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: Swimming since I was a child.

202
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 2: Does she need age to help her swim at fifty? Oh,

203
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: she's thirty. Cool, thank you. It's wild.

204
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: But Meg Harris, you may remember we have mentioned her

205
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: already on our Green and Gold edition of this podcast

206
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: because she won the gold in the four by one

207
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: hundred meter freestyle relay on like day one or two

208
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: of the games, right, and Jelmy was made the very

209
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: stude observation that she has a hearing disability.

210
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 2: Yes, and so she'd.

211
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: Had to teach herself about how to know when to

212
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 1: go in the realize, and the same thing counts. When

213
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: she's on the block. She will often go on go,

214
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: so it's like set, go, and then average athletes will

215
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: just go somewhere in between the set and the go,

216
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: they'll already start to get the best advantage. But not

217
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: for Meg. She has to wait till the go and

218
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: she's still finished second.

219
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, so she said, basically, growing up, they had the

220
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: hearing test at school where they said, press the button

221
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 2: when you hear something, and they took the headphones off

222
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: her and she said, oh, are we going to start

223
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 2: and they said, oh, it's over. And that's how she

224
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 2: discovered that she needed hearing aids, and she said it's

225
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: been so helpful for her. But it was actually Kate

226
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 2: Campbell going, you've got someone who is actually legally death

227
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: and they think that it was nerveat damage that happened

228
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 2: when she was a child. And yet, as you said,

229
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 2: taught herself, yeah to hear the starters. And she's like, well, gratefully,

230
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 2: everyone goes quiet, yes, And she's also said that, well,

231
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 2: the good thing is after a race, journalists tend to

232
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 2: ask one of three questions. So I kind of watched

233
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 2: their lips and try to guess which of the three

234
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 2: standard questions they've asked me. And sometimes I really stuff

235
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 2: up because in those loud stadium environments she can't hear.

236
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: I also think this was extra special because it was

237
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: an individual medal totally, and she's been such a great

238
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: team player. She's been on so many relays in the heats,

239
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: she's been a heat swimmer, but this is hers out right,

240
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: and I think that that just hits a bit differently too.

241
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: We want another silver. Jemmy in the pool to wrap

242
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: the women's four by one hundred meter medley relay, little

243
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: known names, Molly O'Callahan, Kaylee McEwen in the water again,

244
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: Emma McKean.

245
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 2: And they jumped in with their full tracksuits on, which

246
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 2: you love to see because their swimmers they hold their

247
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 2: emotions so close to their chest the whole way through.

248
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 2: We saw that with Arnie and it was actually after

249
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 2: her final individual race that she let it out and went, oh,

250
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 2: I feel like I can talk about the gold that

251
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 2: I won on day one now and we're on day

252
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 2: eight of competition, because I haven't allowed myself to feel anything.

253
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 2: But can I just say, speaking of Arnie Molly O'Callahan

254
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 2: with the clutch, we were nowhere near silver when she

255
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 2: got in for the final leg of the women's four

256
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 2: by one hundred meter medley, and that freestyle leg was

257
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 2: unbelievable to watch. I implore you to go back because

258
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 2: again it was another silver that felt like a gold

259
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 2: because America they were running their own range.

260
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they were the only ones in the pool.

261
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

262
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: To be honest, did you have a moment of just dying.

263
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: I almost died when they jumped into the pool. I

264
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 1: know that they were alive, but I remember that time

265
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: when we jumped in the pool and then all hell

266
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: broke loose because it was like, are you just qualified now?

267
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: Like I can't, I'm the wounds are still rang, like

268
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: I know, you're fully clothed, and you're no longer in

269
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 1: the competition and everyone's out of the pool and it's

270
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: been a few minutes.

271
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 2: But part of me goes, just find another way to celebrate.

272
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 2: It doesn't hurt my heart, but we do need to mention.

273
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 2: So that is the last that we'll see it of

274
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 2: Emma McKean at this level of competition, and again just

275
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 2: another medal for her to add to her tally. She

276
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: has been a champion for so long and she'll be

277
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 2: the first to admit these are not the games that

278
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 2: she envisaged. She had a lot of challenges in the

279
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 2: last couple of years physically to get herself up, but

280
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 2: what a service she's provided.

281
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: She finishes her game's career with fourteen medals to her name,

282
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: almost decorated athlete at this level like it, it's incredible

283
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: what her legacy will be and I'm so excited that

284
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: I think it's quite a nice passing of the baton

285
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: see rele pun to Molly O'Callahan. What a way for

286
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: her to finish in a race that has the future?

287
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean? Totally?

288
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 1: It was very special.

289
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 2: They are the events that happened overnight, but we must

290
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 2: mention what's happened over the weekend, So we're going to

291
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 2: do that next.

292
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: Tell me you know that I like to daydream some things,

293
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: and sometimes I make outlandish statements like sat Kilda will

294
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: finish in the top four. Other times we are pi kick.

295
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: We are freaking psychic, and I am going to use

296
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: the hour of power that we witnessed over the weekend

297
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: to prove it, because you and I in the lead

298
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: up to our Green and Gold edition, recorded a few

299
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: episodes about athletes to watch, swimmers to watch, etcetera, etcetera,

300
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: among them Cameron McAvoy, Kaylee McEwen and Saya Sakakibara on

301
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: the BMX track and what did they do over the weekend?

302
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 2: My god, it aged well like French cheese, if you will,

303
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 2: aged well while I went for cheese rather than champagne.

304
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 2: No one will ever know However, let's circle back, because

305
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 2: it was arguably one of the better seventy seven minutes

306
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 2: of Australian sport you will ever witness. And I am

307
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 2: so cool. I am so grateful for pregnancy insomnia because

308
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 2: I didn't set my alarm, but I just happened to

309
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 2: be up and I was like, oh, I'll just watch this.

310
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 2: Can the man Macavoy winning the fifty meter freestyle After

311
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 2: all that he's been through, After the fact that he

312
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 2: said he's cut his training by ninety percent, the fact

313
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 2: that this is his fourth Games and he is finally

314
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 2: a top the podium, it was the most ridiculous thing

315
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 2: to watch. And all I could think of was he's

316
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 2: one of Georgie's yea of the one of Georgie, He's

317
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 2: one of mine.

318
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: I have followed him his entire career. I've said on

319
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: this podcast how much I love him. I've also said

320
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: how he only usually performs on a national level, maybe

321
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: a world championships, he never performs at the Games.

322
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 2: Well well, well, well, well, wellastenis he reckons?

323
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, the galithens And honestly, he said that he's going

324
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: to drop his program about exactly what he's been doing.

325
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: Because he got the biggest advertisement for it, which is

326
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: a gold medal and event that we have never ever

327
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: ever meddled.

328
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 2: He was so clever in every post race interview, just saying,

329
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 2: you know, I just think I've re revolutionized training and swimming.

330
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 2: I love him, so I just can't wait for everyone

331
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: to share my program. And I'm like, just drop your app,

332
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 2: just drop your axe, and he's going to break the world.

333
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 2: But the other thing about Cam and I know that

334
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 2: you'll love this because he's so wide like us, is

335
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 2: the first time that he saw the race back and

336
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 2: we're talking about fifty meters.

337
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: Yes, it's twenty one seconds.

338
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 2: He's sitting on the desk in the commentary and they're like,

339
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 2: we're gonna watch it back, and they watched it and

340
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 2: he goes, oh, the touch wasn't great.

341
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: Oh, I mean, I knew he'd be unhappy with that.

342
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 2: Hehi in real time.

343
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, he's gliding.

344
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: He's gliding. Also, you just won Games gold and you're like, oh,

345
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 2: I could have lifted on that. I'm better than that,

346
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 2: but he is. He's just it was spectacular. And then

347
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 2: so that was the first time that we've ever won

348
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 2: a medal in the fifty meter men's freestyle, and we

349
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 2: just start by doing it in gold. But if we're

350
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 2: going to talk about game's history, yeah, what was achieved

351
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 2: by a little lady called Kaylee McEwen.

352
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: She defended her title in the two hundred meter backstroke,

353
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: so that means that she won the double and she

354
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 1: backed up the double double. So in her career she

355
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: won the one hundred meters and the two hundred back

356
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: in Tokyo. She's backed that up with thee hundred meters

357
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: and two hundred meter golds in Paris. Her fourth career

358
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 1: individual gold medal goes to Kaylee McEwen. She was also

359
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: as she loves to do. We've talked about it already

360
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: in the Green and Gold edition. She did give up

361
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 1: a little bit of a lead, but I would say

362
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: that she won comfortably in the end against her all

363
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: time rivals, Like it was such a wonderful, wonderful performance

364
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: and I didn't have to stress too much, which was

365
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: the best.

366
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 2: She's now edited her caption that she put online about this,

367
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 2: but initially it said on days Evan, I hit a

368
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 2: small milestone in my career becoming the first woman to

369
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 2: ever win the one hundred and two hundred meters backstroke

370
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 2: and no comments lit up being like, oh the old

371
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 2: game's history, is it? Kaylee? Like that's so her to

372
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 2: just play it down so much.

373
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, she is the coolest of cucumbers until

374
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: you get a celebrating and I love it. And then

375
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: she went back into the pool and won bronze, but

376
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: in an interesting way. I know there was a just qualification,

377
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 1: but accounts bronze in the two hundred meter im, which

378
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: was something that she was just trying out, just trying out,

379
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: but jelmy, you gave me the start that then I

380
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,959
Speaker 1: think in every single event that she's ever raced at

381
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: a game.

382
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 2: She's medal. He's made what and it genuinely we talk

383
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 2: about Arnie a lot. Of course we talk about Emma,

384
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 2: but Kaylee needs to be in the conversation. Yes, of

385
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 2: our best swimmers of all time. So you're talking your

386
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 2: dorm phrases, your Shane Goulds, you're Ian Thorpe's. She is

387
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 2: in that phrasing. Yeah, for what she has achieved, and

388
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 2: perhaps because of her nature, because she is so joking

389
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 2: and fun and young, you forget just the severity of

390
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 2: the athlete that she is.

391
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: I also think though, it's even just the stroke itself. Yes,

392
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 1: like backstroke's not a sexy stroke, and I can say

393
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 1: that I was a former backstroker, so it's just not one.

394
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: It's not the free it doesn't get it doesn't get

395
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 1: the glory of that. However, her glory can nothing can

396
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: be taken away from it because she is one of

397
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 1: our goats, I have to say.

398
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 2: Speaking of goats, and I'm so glad that I just

399
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 2: kept talking about her leading into these games, being like,

400
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 2: I know no one cares about BMX racing, but say,

401
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 2: as the Khaki Bara and her story and the journey

402
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 2: of her family with her brother, Kai is going to

403
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 2: be one of the prevailing narratives of the games if

404
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 2: she can perform to reflect her number one world ranking

405
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 2: the way that we know that she can. And she

406
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 2: actually stammered at the World Championship, so she wasn't the

407
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 2: world champ so she said, well, I'm gonna have to win.

408
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 2: So coming into these Games, she had so much pressure

409
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 2: on herself to be able to do what she knew

410
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 2: that she could. It was the most comfortable heats watch

411
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 2: of all time. And then the final itself she started

412
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 2: from the inside lane, and it looked like she was

413
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 2: in a league of her own.

414
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: She was so fast, like so fast again. I didn't

415
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: have to feel too nervous before this, before this race,

416
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: because I knew what she had done. I'd had your

417
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: messages sending me all these texts being like, oh, I'm

418
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: losing it, Sia. Sire is looking good, Sia is looking comfortable,

419
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: so I's not even trying. I think Sia's gonna win.

420
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: Sire's new week really was she has not lost away race.

421
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 2: It was just watching the emotion wash over her. Oh

422
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 2: I can't her brother Kai in the stands who again,

423
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 2: I'm sure that you've all seen this story, but the

424
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 2: fact that he was in a coma for six weeks

425
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 2: and suffered a traumatic brain injury, and she was there

426
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 2: through all of it, and he suffered that doing BMX racing,

427
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 2: which Sire only got into because she was following Kai

428
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 2: around the way that sisters do. And for her to

429
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 2: stand up there and say I've been able to do

430
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 2: this for him, and to also drop three of the

431
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 2: better f bombs that you'll ever see in an interview

432
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 2: where she was like, let's just I knew, I just

433
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 2: had to effing go and then I effing.

434
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 1: Went and it was just the most effort and I.

435
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 2: Just thought, and you could see the emotion in that

436
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 2: interview slowly hit her with the gravity of what she'd done.

437
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 1: It was beautiful though. And I think that if you

438
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: watch that race, you watch the celebrations at the end,

439
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: if you don't cry or at least tear up, you

440
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: don't have a heart, like I'm sorry, you must be

441
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: a sociopath. Like it doesn't it doesn't register for me

442
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 1: how that's even possible. For me. It was the squeal.

443
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: So as soon as she crosses the line, she just

444
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 1: has this unbridled it's completely involuntary and she just starts

445
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: screaming and it's like she just cannot believe.

446
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 2: That was very accurate. And do you want the best

447
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 2: part is is that she said I screamed like a

448
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 2: little girl. And I was like, no, you won gold

449
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 2: like a girl. Yes, because it's our girls that are

450
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 2: holding us up. You won gold like an Australian female

451
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 2: at the moment, because they are the ones that are

452
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 2: just absolutely dominated.

453
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: And this point we still only had one gold from

454
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: a man, yes, and that was Cam Macavoyd, which had

455
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: happened in the same hour. Yes, previously we had an

456
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: out of anything.

457
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 2: It was again, it's just one of those stories that

458
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 2: reminds you of the power of sport and the fact

459
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 2: that we're going to glaze over the next thing I'm

460
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 2: about to say really upsets me, but we don't have time.

461
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 2: Arnie Tipmus winning silver in the women's eight hundred meters

462
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 2: and the way that she took it up to Katie Ledecki,

463
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 2: who has done the unthinkable to be the Games champion

464
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 2: back to back to back to back. So she has

465
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 2: been the best in the world the DECKI for twelve years.

466
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,959
Speaker 1: Isn't that just mental? I mean, but Arnie was right there.

467
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: Arnie was right there, and she also swam I think

468
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: it was her fastest time.

469
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 2: It was an Oceania record. Yeah, So on day eight

470
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 2: of being absolutely buggered in her words.

471
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: Yes, she was going going for it, pushing Leadecki the

472
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: goat really of females, something that we've ever seen right

473
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: to the death. And also Arnie did point out, jelmy,

474
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: what you've done when she had started, she had been

475
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: watching Katie Leadecki win this race since Arnie was eleven,

476
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: that's how long Katie has dominated.

477
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 2: That she just kept with her. It was honestly one

478
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 2: of the more gutsy swims I've seen of the Games,

479
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 2: and it was a silver to me, that felt like gold,

480
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 2: and I just fell more in love with Annie if

481
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 2: that was possible, I know, just because of the effort

482
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,199
Speaker 2: and what she dug deep to find.

483
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: I find that the photo at the end of that race,

484
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: when it's Arnie and Katie both holding hands, lifting their

485
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: hands the lmanship, that's what but that's girlhood. Just put

486
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: that on billboards, That's what that is.

487
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 2: And again we're just going to rattle through the rest

488
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 2: of the weekend results. Our mate Gray Morris, who won

489
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 2: silver in the windsurfing after knowing that he was going

490
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 2: to secure bronze at the very least, there was some

491
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,719
Speaker 2: weather delays which Georgia he was in gold medal position

492
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 2: that if the weather was too bad that they never

493
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 2: got out there again. In the windsurfing, you would have

494
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 2: won gold. But in your classic Aussie style is at

495
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 2: twenty year old, He's like, I wanted to get out

496
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 2: there and actually have a crack, and they did, and

497
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 2: he eventually did.

498
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: And I think that this is the longest event Gelemy

499
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: and I've learned things, dear listener over the course of

500
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 1: our Green and Gold podcast. Maybe the longest event in

501
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: the history of the world. The same the windsurfing, so

502
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: many days of competition. But Gray Morris, just I mean

503
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 1: he's won a grave sorts, hasn't he?

504
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 2: He had very very good So it was our first

505
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 2: medal in the windsurfing since ninety two. He had to

506
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 2: raise ten thousand dollars himself to get to Paris due

507
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 2: to being the first Aussie mail to compete in the

508
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 2: Games since two thousand and four. And he just seems

509
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 2: to be this one wonderful character. Again only twenty and

510
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 2: we know sailors can sail for a very long time. Yeah,

511
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 2: so hopefully we look forward to seeing him in la

512
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 2: But just one of those amazing, amazing characters.

513
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: And tell me there was another gold of course over

514
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: the weekend from Team Australia, and it came from a team,

515
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: our tennis team, our duo Matt Ebden John Piers won

516
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: gold against Team USA, which also, as we always know,

517
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: just means that little bit more at the Games, you know,

518
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: it really does. They won in three sets, so they

519
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: did it the hard way. Take a look at this

520
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: actual scorecard, six seven seven six seven six.

521
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 2: Bomb vomit, bomb vommit.

522
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: But they held their nerve to pull off something that

523
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: we have not seen since nineteen ninety six, since.

524
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 2: The Woodies what the Woodies. And the one thing well

525
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 2: I light here is Matt Ebden and his story arc

526
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 2: at the Games, because you will remember that he got

527
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 2: subbed in when the Demon was like, oh you know what,

528
00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 2: I'm actually too injured tingles in the single, So yeah,

529
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 2: we've got a spot here for I was and he's like,

530
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 2: I'll have a crack. Whom I against in the first round,

531
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,479
Speaker 2: Novak Djokovic And to say that he got the floor

532
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 2: wiped the Serbian just what he's got clay still on

533
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 2: his nose from what was an absolute demoralization. And at

534
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 2: one point Matt Ebden went to the crowd and gave

535
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 2: his racket to a child and said, you want to

536
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 2: have a go, you want to try here? But then

537
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 2: in the beauty of the Games, and he has said

538
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 2: in an interview since how it started versus how it's going,

539
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 2: I've never wanted to be on a court less than

540
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 2: when I was getting absolutely smashed by the Joker. And

541
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 2: yet within a week in the same stadium. I'm now

542
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 2: an Olympic gold medalist and the two of them, they're warriors.

543
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 2: They're not those glamour tennis players that you see.

544
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: They've been on the circuit for very most of their lives,

545
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: you know, their mid thirties. They've got families being there

546
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: with the kids, celebrations with them on the court at

547
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 1: Roland Garros, I thought was so special again. Put that

548
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: on billboards, like them throwing their kids up in the air.

549
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: John Pierce's daughter Ellie in the stands at gold medal

550
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: point and she had her fingers crossed. I was just

551
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: and didn't let it go until they actually secured the

552
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 1: gold medal. They had four gold medal points. Can I

553
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: just say so, they're just actually testing us now. They

554
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: were having a laugh, but she had those little fingers

555
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 1: in the cross, just waiting for her dad to be like, yeah,

556
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: we want it.

557
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 2: And she had to get permissioned to not be at school.

558
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: I know, like it's honestly, honestly, it's such a glorious story.

559
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: But staying on those clay courts, gellmy this morning, I

560
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: know it's not green and gold, but Novak Djokovic did

561
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: pull off a singles win against Carlos al Karaz seven six,

562
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: seven six, and that makes him the oldest gold medalist

563
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: for men's tennis at thirty seven years of age. And

564
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: also he has called it the highlight of his career.

565
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: He said it's one of the things that it's one

566
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: of the achievements that has meant the most to him,

567
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: which over the course of Novak Djokovic's career, that is saying.

568
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 2: He's finally over his recollected what they call the Golden Slam, Yes,

569
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,199
Speaker 2: the which I think they're meant to do it in

570
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 2: one calendar year for it to technically be a Golden Slam,

571
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 2: but it was the one thing that had been elusive

572
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 2: to him, and he got up there and said how

573
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 2: much are meant to Serbia? And he was taking on

574
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 2: kyls Hakaraz, who they just faced off at Wimbledon, so

575
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 2: I'm sure that they just keep looking at each other

576
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 2: being like hello you in the passing of the torch

577
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 2: and this time it did fall to Novak and again

578
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 2: his kids were in the stands. It was one of

579
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 2: those things where when you see someone who's been a

580
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 2: champion so often, especially on the ATV tour, but then

581
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 2: you see how different a gold medal means and how

582
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 2: proud he was to be bringing that home for Serbia.

583
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 2: It has to be one of the moments of.

584
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: The Games for someone who has won literally everything in

585
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: there to have that be the one thing that you

586
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: can't get a personality like joker. I believe hi when

587
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: you say it means more than anything else.

588
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 2: Totally our favorite two words that were allowed to say

589
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 2: only when they actually are guaranteed. Now we have guaranteed

590
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 2: medals coming up in the boxing, so thanks to Kitlin

591
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 2: Parker and Charlie Senior, we are going to get both

592
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 2: a men's and a women's at least bronze. Huge in

593
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 2: the boxing, so if you're not aware of the boxing

594
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 2: by the time they get to the semi final bouts

595
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 2: they both get silver.

596
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's confusing, It is confusing, but it will talk

597
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: more about it when they actually secure their.

598
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 2: Great stories, particularly for Kate and Parker, that'll be the

599
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,719
Speaker 2: first time that Australia has ever won a women's boxing

600
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 2: medal at a game. It's huge, so credible. We will

601
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 2: elaborate once we know where on the podium they sit.

602
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 2: But the fact that we have guaranteed medals. Make sure

603
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 2: that you watch their bouts as they are coming up.

604
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 2: But we're going to rattle through some other Aussie team

605
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 2: results the opals.

606
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: There they won. They defeated France. Huge, huge, This was

607
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: a must win game. They won. They are into the

608
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: next round and that was due or die, so that

609
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: is huge for them. Unfortunately, the Kooka bars.

610
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 2: I said, I had feels about our hockey and our

611
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 2: success and it was exactly at that moment that they

612
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 2: went to nil down in the quarterfinals to the Netherlands.

613
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: The AFP once again is waiting our time. Yeah, they

614
00:29:58,240 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: are coming for me.

615
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 2: Are going to push onto the water polo because the

616
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 2: sting is one another penalty shootout. They love to do

617
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 2: it dramatically, this time over world number two Hungry to

618
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 2: go top of their group, undefeated and to book a

619
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 2: spot into the quarterfinals. The Sharks our men's side, after

620
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 2: beating Serbia, who are the two time defending champions I

621
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 2: never don't mind, have then gone on to beat Hungary,

622
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 2: who are the most decorated in games history. In the

623
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 2: water polo. We can't overstate how well the water polo

624
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 2: is going. I'm not going to say that I smell

625
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 2: of gold in the water, don't. I'm not.

626
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: I didn't say it.

627
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 2: I didn't say it, So it's not happening. But we

628
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 2: are do what is happening after. We're going to tell

629
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 2: you what's coming up after the break.

630
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, jell me. I mean, we may as

631
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: well just stay awake, like I don't think there's any

632
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: point in us sleeping maybe ever again, because how could

633
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: we when there's so much action to watch.

634
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 2: I'll sleep when I'm dead, surrounded by the gold that

635
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 2: Australia may or may not win in track and field,

636
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 2: because we do have a stacked calendar coming up, and

637
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 2: we're only going to preview what's happening in the next

638
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 2: twenty four hours. But Curtis Marshall in the men's pole

639
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 2: vault again, I feel without Nina Kennedy, our Nikola Olislager's

640
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 2: we haven't really been focusing on Curtis. But he is

641
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 2: a dual Comwalth Games gold medalist. We know that he's

642
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 2: had an injured ankle coming into these meets, And why

643
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 2: don't we say injured like broken?

644
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: We mean he's pole vaulting with a broken out like

645
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: a like such an awful awful injury. I'm pretty sure

646
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: he had necrosis with that ankle injury, and that it's

647
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: all I know is that necro means something to do

648
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: with dead so dead skin and that's not good.

649
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 2: But he is in action at three am tomorrow, So

650
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 2: get around that. Tory lewis in the reperchide round of

651
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 2: the two hundred meters and I will say she recorded

652
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 2: a PB and still didn't make it through her heat.

653
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 2: That is just how competitive track and field is. It's unbelievable.

654
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,479
Speaker 1: And tell me me, I would like you to explain

655
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: to me and the listeners what repor charge means, because

656
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: I've been hearing it's thrown around on the coverage a lot,

657
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: and I got no Ouda out.

658
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 2: So it is the inaugural Games where they've brought in

659
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 2: the reper charge for track and field. It only happens

660
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 2: in the hurdles, the two hundred, four hundred, eight hundred

661
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 2: and fifteen hundred and Georgie. You'll remember previously at Games

662
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 2: you would have automatic qualification for the best performers in

663
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 2: each heat, yes, or where you finish where you finish,

664
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 2: and then they would sort of wait, could there be

665
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 2: left over spots to decide those places on times, so

666
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 2: you'd have to be the best placed third person across

667
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 2: a lot of heats and rights to progress, whereas now

668
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 2: they have automatic qualification for so many maybe the first two,

669
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 2: and it is different for all of these events. And

670
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 2: then they have another race called the reper charge, which

671
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 2: essentially is giving all athletes a second chance. So if

672
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 2: you finish last in your heat doesn't matter, you still

673
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 2: have a chance at the reper charge. Again, it's the

674
00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 2: first time that it's been brought in. It's been a

675
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 2: little bit controversial because then and we saw this with

676
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 2: the women's eight hundred meters, in order to go through

677
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 2: into the semifinals with the reper charge, you needed to

678
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 2: win your heat, which naturally there's going to be stronger

679
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 2: some of the heats are going to have stronger fields.

680
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 2: So is that fair? I personally like it because the

681
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 2: other thing is a sudden death. I like it because

682
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 2: it just adds more more races.

683
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: Well, it adds more races, but also imagine if you

684
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: somehow ended up on the podium after having to fight

685
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: your way through the reper charge, Like what a story.

686
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 2: You're doing it the hard way, and that's the love

687
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 2: it That's the other thing too, is they're saying it's

688
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 2: motivating athletes to want to just get through in their heat,

689
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 2: especially if you're looking at something like a fifteen hundred meters.

690
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 2: It means that you don't have to race again. So

691
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 2: there is an advantage for those athletes that do well

692
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 2: in their.

693
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: Head, they want to have fast heats, not cruising on you,

694
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: not just going oh yeah, I'm just not the older

695
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: over one hundred meters, just looking down the line, which

696
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: blows my mind.

697
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 2: Noah allows no Las have to mention him again. We

698
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 2: are talking about a fox in the canoe slalam, but

699
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 2: this time it's not our girl Jess, because it's got

700
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 2: through no waymy.

701
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: She has a chance to meddle in the kayak cross,

702
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: or as I call it, the extreme kayak.

703
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 2: I would I cannot begin to tell you how much

704
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 2: I would capsize if someone dropped me from that height

705
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 2: in a boat into the water. I've just watched the start, Just.

706
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 1: Watch the start. But then what I've learned is they

707
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: go underwater, they submerge themselves and do like a full

708
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: three sixty.

709
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 2: And it's a contact sport. They whack each other, they

710
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 2: hit each other. It's their paddles extreme. But the quarterfinals

711
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 2: are going to be happenying just before midnight than the

712
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,760
Speaker 2: semifinals at quarter past and then at one am the final.

713
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 2: But if we do see another Fox on the podium,

714
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 2: what what done?

715
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: That's incredible, That's insane. If that happens. Also tomorrow the

716
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 1: surfing gelmy three thirty six am. I know that it's early,

717
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 1: but that's already up watching.

718
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 2: You haven't even contact sleep.

719
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 1: So this is the semifinals inter and we have Jack Robinson,

720
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:03,839

Speaker 1: Pretty solid surfer, pretty solid surfer, gave me the best

723
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: in the world. If you don't know who he is,

724
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: just think about that incredible photo that you've seen over

725
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks.

726
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 2: Where he's levitating in his hands in the air next

727
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 2: to a serf. He is. It's going to be hard

728
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 2: for Jack, but you've just got to You've got to

729
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,000

Speaker 2: That's at six pm. I'm not even going to talk

736
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 2: about how I feel about our chances because that has

737
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 2: not gone well.

738
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,920

750
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: can do. That Your chenko whatever, it is her special thing.

751
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,240
Speaker 1: It'll because it's now the Biles too. It's the most

752
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 1: like your chenko can go out of bills in but

753
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: files in. If you've made it this far, well done,

754
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: because it has been a monster weekend to recap a

755
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: monster overnight. And again, if you feel like Australia are

756

Speaker 1: games ever.

763
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 2: Don't. We can't. It's it's very early. It's very early,

764
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 2: and the fact that we to get I don't know,

765
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 2: five six more gold for that to be the case

766
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 2: makes me very uncomfortable. But Georgie love you know what

Speaker 2: our fun fact is going to be that it was

768
