WEBVTT - Australia's golden hour

0:00:01.080 --> 0:00:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Here at Two Good Sports, we would like to acknowledge

0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:05.520
<v Speaker 1>the traditional owners of the land on which we record

0:00:05.519 --> 0:00:08.880
<v Speaker 1>this podcast. There were Injurie people, this land was never seated,

0:00:09.080 --> 0:00:17.239
<v Speaker 1>always was, always will be Jah Dolla sport, tell me

0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:20.279
<v Speaker 1>we love sport. That is something that you have said

0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:23.000
<v Speaker 1>to me NonStop over our entire lives. But this morning

0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:24.040
<v Speaker 1>it's different.

0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:27.680
<v Speaker 2>This morning it hit differently. Welcome to Two Good Sports,

0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:31.760
<v Speaker 2>Green and Gold edition, your unofficial games podcast. And it

0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:35.040
<v Speaker 2>physically pained us to not have episodes over the weekend.

0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:37.920
<v Speaker 2>We were going to just come in here and press

0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:43.159
<v Speaker 2>record ourselves because it was the most unbelievable hour of

0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 2>power that we thought that we'd see in sport that

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:49.000
<v Speaker 2>happened over the weekend. But then Georgie me minutes ago

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:53.560
<v Speaker 2>we witnessed one of the greatest Games finals of all

0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:57.560
<v Speaker 2>times in the men's one hundred meter final, and my god,

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Noah Lyles, after all the build up after the sprint docco,

0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:04.240
<v Speaker 2>he did it, and we have a new hero in

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:05.520
<v Speaker 2>world track.

0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:09.319
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, we will get to Noah. But first of all,

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 1>dear listener, we will just have a little bit of

0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:14.400
<v Speaker 1>a summary about exactly what you have missed since the

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.040
<v Speaker 1>last time we chatted, because if we look at the

0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 1>medal tally in real time, Australia sits in number four silver.

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:25.200
<v Speaker 1>We're still number four twelve golds overall. Sorry I should

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 1>say that again, twelve everyone you're listening. I didn't want

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 1>to rush through that. Twelve golds, eleven silvers, eight bronzes,

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:37.520
<v Speaker 1>thirty one medals since we last spoke four golds, five silvers.

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:41.199
<v Speaker 2>Four bronze and Australia having twelve golds after day eight

0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:43.680
<v Speaker 2>of competition it's now day nine, but after day eight

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:46.679
<v Speaker 2>is the best that we've ever done at a Games.

0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 2>So we had eleven in Athens yea, and we had

0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 2>ten in Sydney. So the pantos So if you feel

0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:56.360
<v Speaker 2>like Ossie's are flying, it's because we are. Oh yeah,

0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:59.720
<v Speaker 2>we absolutely are. And we have made Australian track and

0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 2>field history. So we will be getting to that later,

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:04.520
<v Speaker 2>but for now, Noah last.

0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Yes, let's go back. Let's go back to where we

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:11.200
<v Speaker 1>started because Noah Lyles now, two good sports listeners who

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.080
<v Speaker 1>listen every single week will know that we have had

0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:16.760
<v Speaker 1>a kind of recent obsession with this man after the

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Sprint documentary series on Netflix, and I tell you what

0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:21.920
<v Speaker 1>didn't he live up to the hype, jommy, one of

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.960
<v Speaker 1>the greatest events you called it, that we have ever seen.

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 2>When his welcome was a fifty meter run. Yes, the life.

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:33.960
<v Speaker 2>He ran out to the crowd and put his arms

0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:36.920
<v Speaker 2>up and honestly was halfway down the track that he

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.720
<v Speaker 2>was about to compete on. I went, has any athlete

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 2>in history talked the talk before they walked the run? Yeah?

0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:45.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so.

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.640
<v Speaker 2>And just to give for those who haven't seen it,

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 2>please go back and have the better ten seconds of

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:54.760
<v Speaker 2>your life, because how close this was is they were separated.

0:02:55.080 --> 0:03:00.120
<v Speaker 2>He and Kashane Thompson were separated by five thousandth of

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:04.240
<v Speaker 2>a second one to eight In the men's one hundred

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:08.200
<v Speaker 2>meter final, who all ran under ten seconds, were separated

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.600
<v Speaker 2>by point one two of a second.

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:14.680
<v Speaker 1>It was the greatest men's one hundred meter final I

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:16.680
<v Speaker 1>think that I've ever seen. And I'm including some of

0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.640
<v Speaker 1>you sain Bolts totally races in that because those weren't close.

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.959
<v Speaker 1>I love them for completely different reasons because I got

0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:26.560
<v Speaker 1>to see bolt just absolutely leg it. But this was

0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:29.680
<v Speaker 1>one where we did not know who had won. The

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.519
<v Speaker 1>athletes didn't know who had won for so long.

0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:36.400
<v Speaker 2>Afterwards, fare a thought for the director who put a

0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 2>close up on Thompson. Yeah, so someone in real time

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.440
<v Speaker 2>has thought the Jamaicans got him here quick put a

0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:43.360
<v Speaker 2>close up on him.

0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.040
<v Speaker 1>But he else had thought who he'd won it? Noah

0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Lyles himself, Yes, he said. He went up to him

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.960
<v Speaker 1>and he was basically being like, congratulations, I think you've

0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:54.640
<v Speaker 1>got me. I think you've done it. And then you

0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 1>just see the complete switch where he sees that his

0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:00.040
<v Speaker 1>name is above Thompson's and he goes.

0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:01.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I thought he had it.

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm amazing.

0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:06.200
<v Speaker 2>And also Thompson who came out and basically his warm

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 2>up was to act like the Hulk. Oh yeah. And

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 2>that is why there are some moments Steorgy that just

0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 2>make you think, I love sport and you can get

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:17.919
<v Speaker 2>way down sometimes with some of the stories that we

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.279
<v Speaker 2>have to cover and we'll do an episode after the

0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:22.440
<v Speaker 2>games because it's too nuanced to talk about it now.

0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 2>But what we're seeing in women's boxing and just some

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.359
<v Speaker 2>of the storylines where you feel like there are no

0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 2>winners in this race. It just let you, as the spectator,

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:36.800
<v Speaker 2>sit there in complete anticipation and watch these people do

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:40.080
<v Speaker 2>the unthinkable and know that it was a culmination of

0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:44.480
<v Speaker 2>their life work and see a dream come true and

0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.760
<v Speaker 2>there is nothing nothing more magical.

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And I think that what makes Noah Lyle so

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 1>special is that you and I care about him so much.

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:53.599
<v Speaker 1>And he's not a story.

0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:57.560
<v Speaker 2>He's American. We're wired to feel otherwise.

0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 1>And we're like hoping that he wins above all, hope.

0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 1>I was so nervous. I was so anxious in the

0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:05.839
<v Speaker 1>lead up to that race. They also held them on

0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:08.120
<v Speaker 1>the start for a million years.

0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.920
<v Speaker 2>Before million years, we need to find out how many

0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:14.120
<v Speaker 2>times nine point seven eighty four goes into how long

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:15.359
<v Speaker 2>they had to wait on the blocks.

0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Honestly, it was such a great race. Everyone spare yourself

0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:22.320
<v Speaker 1>the nine point seven eight four seconds because what a

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.400
<v Speaker 1>time to be alive. And jelmy, I want to stay with.

0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:29.280
<v Speaker 2>The track because just before this event, Yeah, just before.

0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:34.680
<v Speaker 1>This event, we achieved something very very rare for Australia,

0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:38.279
<v Speaker 1>for Team Australia, and that was two medals in the

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:39.400
<v Speaker 1>one event.

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:44.560
<v Speaker 2>What so it's the first time since nineteen sixty eight

0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:47.560
<v Speaker 2>that Australia won two medals in the same track and

0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:50.640
<v Speaker 2>field event. I get if we count the way the

0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.040
<v Speaker 2>Americans do. We technically won the Hydro, We won the

0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:55.719
<v Speaker 2>Hygi and that was thanks to Nikola Olislagger's who you

0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.520
<v Speaker 2>remember won silver in Tokyo. So she backed it up

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:02.080
<v Speaker 2>back to back silver, which is incredible. And Eleanor Patterson,

0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:05.160
<v Speaker 2>who I feel like sometimes is lost in the wash

0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:07.719
<v Speaker 2>with how great Nikola is, but she is a star

0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 2>in her own right, and she died for bronze with

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.920
<v Speaker 2>the Ukrainian. It was very Australia Ukraine.

0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Isn't it?

0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:14.160
<v Speaker 2>Yes, isn't it?

0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Ukrainians very good at high jump, but also us two turns.

0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:21.839
<v Speaker 2>Out it is so Nikola's peeb is two point zero

0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:26.320
<v Speaker 2>three meters and so the jump that eventually won gold

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:29.720
<v Speaker 2>was two point zero two. So Nicola did clear out

0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:32.720
<v Speaker 2>two meters. And dear listener, if you're talking about these

0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:35.440
<v Speaker 2>sort of numbers at home, I find your tape measure,

0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:38.600
<v Speaker 2>get two meters out and mark it on something in

0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:41.640
<v Speaker 2>your house, and then imagine running and jumping over it,

0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:46.159
<v Speaker 2>because it is unbelievable what they achieve. And Nicola, you remember,

0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:49.480
<v Speaker 2>is the lovely, very spiritual girl that writes in her

0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:52.039
<v Speaker 2>diary after every jump, and what you see is what

0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:53.680
<v Speaker 2>you get. I swear if you break her open, there's

0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:57.799
<v Speaker 2>butterflies and rainbows. She is just such a wonderfully sweet,

0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:00.320
<v Speaker 2>positive person. She's been with the same coach since she

0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:04.840
<v Speaker 2>was twelve. She's so consistently performed on this stage, and

0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:07.320
<v Speaker 2>to see her so thrilled with back to back silver

0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.520
<v Speaker 2>in track and field for Australia just doesn't happen.

0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I would say that I think that our track team

0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:20.400
<v Speaker 1>has out achieved anything we've ever really imagined in the athletics. Yes,

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 1>for a long time, right.

0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:24.320
<v Speaker 2>Yes, well, I think it's I have to correct you

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.400
<v Speaker 2>only because field athletes get very.

0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Angry i'm referred to.

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.280
<v Speaker 2>But it is a thing because I think track, as

0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.400
<v Speaker 2>we've talked about today, is the glamour events. Yes, and

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:39.440
<v Speaker 2>all of Australia, all of Australian field, is going high there. Yeah, hey, guys,

0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:41.720
<v Speaker 2>you want a metal chance holding up the team, get

0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.000
<v Speaker 2>on our back. We are already carrying the shot put.

0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:46.560
<v Speaker 2>Why don't we just carry you as well? Because it

0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:48.480
<v Speaker 2>is going to be amazing and we still have so

0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:51.200
<v Speaker 2>many track athletes, see I'm doing it as well. We

0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:54.840
<v Speaker 2>still have so many field athletes left that have good chances.

0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:57.160
<v Speaker 2>But I think that it was amazing to see that

0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:00.160
<v Speaker 2>in the high jump, and again just wonderful athletes. It's

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:03.239
<v Speaker 2>wonderful competitors. And we do need to mention a quick

0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:05.560
<v Speaker 2>note to the women's eight hundred meters with Abby Caldwell

0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:09.320
<v Speaker 2>and Claudia Hollingsworth. Remember the name because she is only

0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:13.040
<v Speaker 2>nineteen and they both had valiant efforts in their debut,

0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:15.520
<v Speaker 2>bowing out in the semi final. But to reach a

0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:21.760
<v Speaker 2>semifinal at nineteen years of age, yeah, watch.

0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Out la very. Oh yes, I think that that is

0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:25.400
<v Speaker 1>one to watch. Jell me just to quick check in

0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:28.320
<v Speaker 1>welfare check how you doing, because athletics is your thing.

0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:30.280
<v Speaker 1>How you feeling? How's our hearts?

0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:34.680
<v Speaker 2>I physically leapt off the couch this morning, which is

0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:38.400
<v Speaker 2>very difficult to do twenty four weeks pregnant, like I

0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:42.360
<v Speaker 2>genuinely think I strained something. Watching the men's one hundred

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:48.360
<v Speaker 2>meters it is it lights me up, and it's every

0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:50.320
<v Speaker 2>now and then you have moments where you realize I

0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:52.120
<v Speaker 2>can't believe I get to talk about sport for a

0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:55.280
<v Speaker 2>living and I somehow pulled this off. I would be

0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:57.720
<v Speaker 2>talking to anyone who would listen today the way that

0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.080
<v Speaker 2>you and I have spoken off the top and it

0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.880
<v Speaker 2>is just a joy to watch and be a part of.

0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.480
<v Speaker 2>But it is very if the welfare check is am

0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:07.079
<v Speaker 2>I able to do anything else in life over the

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:07.480
<v Speaker 2>next week.

0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:11.640
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely absolutely not absolutely solutely. You're gonna say, people say hi,

0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:13.960
<v Speaker 1>and you'll be like, did you see Noah?

0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:18.440
<v Speaker 2>Please just don't don't look at me, don't talk to me.

0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:21.160
<v Speaker 2>So that is the track and field events overnight. But

0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:24.959
<v Speaker 2>again in swimming, we've wrapped up swimming. We almost almost

0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:27.959
<v Speaker 2>beat the US in the traditional way of counting gold.

0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:31.360
<v Speaker 2>We were one one less. But amazing to see Meg

0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:34.080
<v Speaker 2>Harris in the fifty meter freestyle just pull out all

0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.920
<v Speaker 2>the stops of PB to win silver, silver.

0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:39.760
<v Speaker 1>And I have to say, I feel like, dear listener,

0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:41.640
<v Speaker 1>if you're gonna watch anything back after Nola I was

0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:44.720
<v Speaker 1>winning the one hundred meters, then watch this race. Because

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:48.160
<v Speaker 1>Meg Harris's reaction to that silver medal, you'd think she'd

0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:51.320
<v Speaker 1>won fourteen golds like it was just pure joy. It

0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:54.200
<v Speaker 1>was shock. She couldn't believe it. She was in one

0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.520
<v Speaker 1>of the outside lanes, she was not in the middle.

0:09:56.600 --> 0:10:00.280
<v Speaker 1>Sarah shows from one once again, the incredible sprinter from.

0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:02.679
<v Speaker 2>She has been swimming for four hundred years.

0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Four thousand years. Yeah, it's actually really a personal attack

0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:07.400
<v Speaker 1>when you find out she's actually only thirty, so younger

0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:07.960
<v Speaker 1>than both of us.

0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:08.960
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, she's been.

0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Swimming since I was a child.

0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Does she need age to help her swim at fifty? Oh,

0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.400
<v Speaker 2>she's thirty. Cool, thank you. It's wild.

0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:19.120
<v Speaker 1>But Meg Harris, you may remember we have mentioned her

0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.760
<v Speaker 1>already on our Green and Gold edition of this podcast

0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:24.360
<v Speaker 1>because she won the gold in the four by one

0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:27.480
<v Speaker 1>hundred meter freestyle relay on like day one or two

0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:30.679
<v Speaker 1>of the games, right, and Jelmy was made the very

0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:34.120
<v Speaker 1>stude observation that she has a hearing disability.

0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:35.240
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and so she'd.

0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Had to teach herself about how to know when to

0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:40.079
<v Speaker 1>go in the realize, and the same thing counts. When

0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:42.800
<v Speaker 1>she's on the block. She will often go on go,

0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:45.760
<v Speaker 1>so it's like set, go, and then average athletes will

0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:48.040
<v Speaker 1>just go somewhere in between the set and the go,

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:52.320
<v Speaker 1>they'll already start to get the best advantage. But not

0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:54.240
<v Speaker 1>for Meg. She has to wait till the go and

0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:55.320
<v Speaker 1>she's still finished second.

0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:57.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so she said, basically, growing up, they had the

0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:59.640
<v Speaker 2>hearing test at school where they said, press the button

0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:02.640
<v Speaker 2>when you hear something, and they took the headphones off

0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:04.520
<v Speaker 2>her and she said, oh, are we going to start

0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:07.120
<v Speaker 2>and they said, oh, it's over. And that's how she

0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:09.480
<v Speaker 2>discovered that she needed hearing aids, and she said it's

0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:11.760
<v Speaker 2>been so helpful for her. But it was actually Kate

0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:15.720
<v Speaker 2>Campbell going, you've got someone who is actually legally death

0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.000
<v Speaker 2>and they think that it was nerveat damage that happened

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:20.440
<v Speaker 2>when she was a child. And yet, as you said,

0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.679
<v Speaker 2>taught herself, yeah to hear the starters. And she's like, well, gratefully,

0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:28.480
<v Speaker 2>everyone goes quiet, yes, And she's also said that, well,

0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:30.640
<v Speaker 2>the good thing is after a race, journalists tend to

0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.880
<v Speaker 2>ask one of three questions. So I kind of watched

0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.440
<v Speaker 2>their lips and try to guess which of the three

0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:40.160
<v Speaker 2>standard questions they've asked me. And sometimes I really stuff

0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.679
<v Speaker 2>up because in those loud stadium environments she can't hear.

0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:45.400
<v Speaker 1>I also think this was extra special because it was

0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:48.600
<v Speaker 1>an individual medal totally, and she's been such a great

0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 1>team player. She's been on so many relays in the heats,

0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:55.400
<v Speaker 1>she's been a heat swimmer, but this is hers out right,

0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:57.680
<v Speaker 1>and I think that that just hits a bit differently too.

0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:00.400
<v Speaker 1>We want another silver. Jemmy in the pool to wrap

0:11:59.920 --> 0:12:03.640
<v Speaker 1>the women's four by one hundred meter medley relay, little

0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:07.120
<v Speaker 1>known names, Molly O'Callahan, Kaylee McEwen in the water again,

0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Emma McKean.

0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:10.840
<v Speaker 2>And they jumped in with their full tracksuits on, which

0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:13.240
<v Speaker 2>you love to see because their swimmers they hold their

0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:16.160
<v Speaker 2>emotions so close to their chest the whole way through.

0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.439
<v Speaker 2>We saw that with Arnie and it was actually after

0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.439
<v Speaker 2>her final individual race that she let it out and went, oh,

0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:23.240
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I can talk about the gold that

0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.760
<v Speaker 2>I won on day one now and we're on day

0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:30.000
<v Speaker 2>eight of competition, because I haven't allowed myself to feel anything.

0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:33.400
<v Speaker 2>But can I just say, speaking of Arnie Molly O'Callahan

0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:38.960
<v Speaker 2>with the clutch, we were nowhere near silver when she

0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.080
<v Speaker 2>got in for the final leg of the women's four

0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:44.280
<v Speaker 2>by one hundred meter medley, and that freestyle leg was

0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:46.960
<v Speaker 2>unbelievable to watch. I implore you to go back because

0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:49.280
<v Speaker 2>again it was another silver that felt like a gold

0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:51.439
<v Speaker 2>because America they were running their own range.

0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:53.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, they were the only ones in the pool.

0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:53.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:57.120
<v Speaker 1>To be honest, did you have a moment of just dying.

0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:59.240
<v Speaker 1>I almost died when they jumped into the pool. I

0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:01.199
<v Speaker 1>know that they were alive, but I remember that time

0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:02.640
<v Speaker 1>when we jumped in the pool and then all hell

0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:04.840
<v Speaker 1>broke loose because it was like, are you just qualified now?

0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:10.120
<v Speaker 1>Like I can't, I'm the wounds are still rang, like

0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:12.360
<v Speaker 1>I know, you're fully clothed, and you're no longer in

0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:13.959
<v Speaker 1>the competition and everyone's out of the pool and it's

0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:14.760
<v Speaker 1>been a few minutes.

0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:17.840
<v Speaker 2>But part of me goes, just find another way to celebrate.

0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:20.880
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't hurt my heart, but we do need to mention.

0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.000
<v Speaker 2>So that is the last that we'll see it of

0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:27.600
<v Speaker 2>Emma McKean at this level of competition, and again just

0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:30.040
<v Speaker 2>another medal for her to add to her tally. She

0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:34.040
<v Speaker 2>has been a champion for so long and she'll be

0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:35.720
<v Speaker 2>the first to admit these are not the games that

0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.199
<v Speaker 2>she envisaged. She had a lot of challenges in the

0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:41.880
<v Speaker 2>last couple of years physically to get herself up, but

0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:43.920
<v Speaker 2>what a service she's provided.

0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:48.040
<v Speaker 1>She finishes her game's career with fourteen medals to her name,

0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:53.880
<v Speaker 1>almost decorated athlete at this level like it, it's incredible

0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:55.880
<v Speaker 1>what her legacy will be and I'm so excited that

0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:58.360
<v Speaker 1>I think it's quite a nice passing of the baton

0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:04.680
<v Speaker 1>see rele pun to Molly O'Callahan. What a way for

0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:06.720
<v Speaker 1>her to finish in a race that has the future?

0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:07.920
<v Speaker 2>Do you know what I mean? Totally?

0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:09.079
<v Speaker 1>It was very special.

0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:12.240
<v Speaker 2>They are the events that happened overnight, but we must

0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:15.160
<v Speaker 2>mention what's happened over the weekend, So we're going to

0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:15.760
<v Speaker 2>do that next.

0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Tell me you know that I like to daydream some things,

0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:26.480
<v Speaker 1>and sometimes I make outlandish statements like sat Kilda will

0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:33.360
<v Speaker 1>finish in the top four. Other times we are pi kick.

0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:36.280
<v Speaker 1>We are freaking psychic, and I am going to use

0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:38.960
<v Speaker 1>the hour of power that we witnessed over the weekend

0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:41.120
<v Speaker 1>to prove it, because you and I in the lead

0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:43.960
<v Speaker 1>up to our Green and Gold edition, recorded a few

0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:47.760
<v Speaker 1>episodes about athletes to watch, swimmers to watch, etcetera, etcetera,

0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:53.440
<v Speaker 1>among them Cameron McAvoy, Kaylee McEwen and Saya Sakakibara on

0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:55.920
<v Speaker 1>the BMX track and what did they do over the weekend?

0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:59.720
<v Speaker 2>My god, it aged well like French cheese, if you will,

0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:03.440
<v Speaker 2>aged well while I went for cheese rather than champagne.

0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:06.160
<v Speaker 2>No one will ever know However, let's circle back, because

0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:09.200
<v Speaker 2>it was arguably one of the better seventy seven minutes

0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:12.840
<v Speaker 2>of Australian sport you will ever witness. And I am

0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:16.120
<v Speaker 2>so cool. I am so grateful for pregnancy insomnia because

0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:18.000
<v Speaker 2>I didn't set my alarm, but I just happened to

0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:19.640
<v Speaker 2>be up and I was like, oh, I'll just watch this.

0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Can the man Macavoy winning the fifty meter freestyle After

0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:27.360
<v Speaker 2>all that he's been through, After the fact that he

0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:31.760
<v Speaker 2>said he's cut his training by ninety percent, the fact

0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:35.040
<v Speaker 2>that this is his fourth Games and he is finally

0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:39.680
<v Speaker 2>a top the podium, it was the most ridiculous thing

0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:41.960
<v Speaker 2>to watch. And all I could think of was he's

0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:45.320
<v Speaker 2>one of Georgie's yea of the one of Georgie, He's

0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:45.920
<v Speaker 2>one of mine.

0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.840
<v Speaker 1>I have followed him his entire career. I've said on

0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:51.160
<v Speaker 1>this podcast how much I love him. I've also said

0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:53.880
<v Speaker 1>how he only usually performs on a national level, maybe

0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:56.640
<v Speaker 1>a world championships, he never performs at the Games.

0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.400
<v Speaker 2>Well well, well, well, well, wellastenis he reckons?

0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the galithens And honestly, he said that he's going

0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.760
<v Speaker 1>to drop his program about exactly what he's been doing.

0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Because he got the biggest advertisement for it, which is

0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:10.400
<v Speaker 1>a gold medal and event that we have never ever

0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:11.200
<v Speaker 1>ever meddled.

0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:15.760
<v Speaker 2>He was so clever in every post race interview, just saying,

0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:19.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, I just think I've re revolutionized training and swimming.

0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:21.440
<v Speaker 2>I love him, so I just can't wait for everyone

0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:23.720
<v Speaker 2>to share my program. And I'm like, just drop your app,

0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:26.360
<v Speaker 2>just drop your axe, and he's going to break the world.

0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:28.280
<v Speaker 2>But the other thing about Cam and I know that

0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.040
<v Speaker 2>you'll love this because he's so wide like us, is

0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:32.760
<v Speaker 2>the first time that he saw the race back and

0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:34.360
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about fifty meters.

0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Yes, it's twenty one seconds.

0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:37.320
<v Speaker 2>He's sitting on the desk in the commentary and they're like,

0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:39.880
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna watch it back, and they watched it and

0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:42.040
<v Speaker 2>he goes, oh, the touch wasn't great.

0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:44.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I mean, I knew he'd be unhappy with that.

0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:45.120
<v Speaker 2>Hehi in real time.

0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:46.600
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh my god, he's gliding.

0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:51.160
<v Speaker 2>He's gliding. Also, you just won Games gold and you're like, oh,

0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:53.880
<v Speaker 2>I could have lifted on that. I'm better than that,

0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:57.160
<v Speaker 2>but he is. He's just it was spectacular. And then

0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:59.760
<v Speaker 2>so that was the first time that we've ever won

0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:03.440
<v Speaker 2>a medal in the fifty meter men's freestyle, and we

0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:05.960
<v Speaker 2>just start by doing it in gold. But if we're

0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:10.520
<v Speaker 2>going to talk about game's history, yeah, what was achieved

0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:12.720
<v Speaker 2>by a little lady called Kaylee McEwen.

0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:16.720
<v Speaker 1>She defended her title in the two hundred meter backstroke,

0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:19.280
<v Speaker 1>so that means that she won the double and she

0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:22.919
<v Speaker 1>backed up the double double. So in her career she

0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:24.960
<v Speaker 1>won the one hundred meters and the two hundred back

0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:27.879
<v Speaker 1>in Tokyo. She's backed that up with thee hundred meters

0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:31.840
<v Speaker 1>and two hundred meter golds in Paris. Her fourth career

0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:38.159
<v Speaker 1>individual gold medal goes to Kaylee McEwen. She was also

0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:40.480
<v Speaker 1>as she loves to do. We've talked about it already

0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:42.560
<v Speaker 1>in the Green and Gold edition. She did give up

0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:44.160
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a lead, but I would say

0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:48.000
<v Speaker 1>that she won comfortably in the end against her all

0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:52.680
<v Speaker 1>time rivals, Like it was such a wonderful, wonderful performance

0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:54.119
<v Speaker 1>and I didn't have to stress too much, which was

0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:54.480
<v Speaker 1>the best.

0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:58.399
<v Speaker 2>She's now edited her caption that she put online about this,

0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:00.840
<v Speaker 2>but initially it said on days Evan, I hit a

0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:04.560
<v Speaker 2>small milestone in my career becoming the first woman to

0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:06.800
<v Speaker 2>ever win the one hundred and two hundred meters backstroke

0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:10.280
<v Speaker 2>and no comments lit up being like, oh the old

0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:15.199
<v Speaker 2>game's history, is it? Kaylee? Like that's so her to

0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:16.680
<v Speaker 2>just play it down so much.

0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:20.359
<v Speaker 1>Oh my goodness, she is the coolest of cucumbers until

0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:22.240
<v Speaker 1>you get a celebrating and I love it. And then

0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:24.480
<v Speaker 1>she went back into the pool and won bronze, but

0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:26.800
<v Speaker 1>in an interesting way. I know there was a just qualification,

0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:29.400
<v Speaker 1>but accounts bronze in the two hundred meter im, which

0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:31.840
<v Speaker 1>was something that she was just trying out, just trying out,

0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:33.800
<v Speaker 1>but jelmy, you gave me the start that then I

0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:35.959
<v Speaker 1>think in every single event that she's ever raced at

0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:36.480
<v Speaker 1>a game.

0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:42.160
<v Speaker 2>She's medal. He's made what and it genuinely we talk

0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:44.440
<v Speaker 2>about Arnie a lot. Of course we talk about Emma,

0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:48.920
<v Speaker 2>but Kaylee needs to be in the conversation. Yes, of

0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:52.360
<v Speaker 2>our best swimmers of all time. So you're talking your

0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:56.480
<v Speaker 2>dorm phrases, your Shane Goulds, you're Ian Thorpe's. She is

0:18:56.600 --> 0:18:59.439
<v Speaker 2>in that phrasing. Yeah, for what she has achieved, and

0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:04.040
<v Speaker 2>perhaps because of her nature, because she is so joking

0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:08.399
<v Speaker 2>and fun and young, you forget just the severity of

0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:10.199
<v Speaker 2>the athlete that she is.

0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:14.040
<v Speaker 1>I also think though, it's even just the stroke itself. Yes,

0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:16.400
<v Speaker 1>like backstroke's not a sexy stroke, and I can say

0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:19.120
<v Speaker 1>that I was a former backstroker, so it's just not one.

0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:22.080
<v Speaker 1>It's not the free it doesn't get it doesn't get

0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:26.159
<v Speaker 1>the glory of that. However, her glory can nothing can

0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:28.280
<v Speaker 1>be taken away from it because she is one of

0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:30.160
<v Speaker 1>our goats, I have to say.

0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:33.639
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of goats, and I'm so glad that I just

0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:36.240
<v Speaker 2>kept talking about her leading into these games, being like,

0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:39.960
<v Speaker 2>I know no one cares about BMX racing, but say,

0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:43.400
<v Speaker 2>as the Khaki Bara and her story and the journey

0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:46.399
<v Speaker 2>of her family with her brother, Kai is going to

0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:49.440
<v Speaker 2>be one of the prevailing narratives of the games if

0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:52.760
<v Speaker 2>she can perform to reflect her number one world ranking

0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:54.639
<v Speaker 2>the way that we know that she can. And she

0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:58.159
<v Speaker 2>actually stammered at the World Championship, so she wasn't the

0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:00.440
<v Speaker 2>world champ so she said, well, I'm gonna have to win.

0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:03.600
<v Speaker 2>So coming into these Games, she had so much pressure

0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:06.000
<v Speaker 2>on herself to be able to do what she knew

0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:09.600
<v Speaker 2>that she could. It was the most comfortable heats watch

0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:13.080
<v Speaker 2>of all time. And then the final itself she started

0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:15.399
<v Speaker 2>from the inside lane, and it looked like she was

0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:17.480
<v Speaker 2>in a league of her own.

0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:21.879
<v Speaker 1>She was so fast, like so fast again. I didn't

0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:25.040
<v Speaker 1>have to feel too nervous before this, before this race,

0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:27.440
<v Speaker 1>because I knew what she had done. I'd had your

0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:30.560
<v Speaker 1>messages sending me all these texts being like, oh, I'm

0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:33.760
<v Speaker 1>losing it, Sia. Sire is looking good, Sia is looking comfortable,

0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:35.600
<v Speaker 1>so I's not even trying. I think Sia's gonna win.

0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Sire's new week really was she has not lost away race.

0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:42.040
<v Speaker 2>It was just watching the emotion wash over her. Oh

0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:45.600
<v Speaker 2>I can't her brother Kai in the stands who again,

0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:47.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure that you've all seen this story, but the

0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:50.040
<v Speaker 2>fact that he was in a coma for six weeks

0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:53.640
<v Speaker 2>and suffered a traumatic brain injury, and she was there

0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:56.400
<v Speaker 2>through all of it, and he suffered that doing BMX racing,

0:20:56.480 --> 0:21:00.760
<v Speaker 2>which Sire only got into because she was following Kai

0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:04.480
<v Speaker 2>around the way that sisters do. And for her to

0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:06.560
<v Speaker 2>stand up there and say I've been able to do

0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:10.119
<v Speaker 2>this for him, and to also drop three of the

0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:13.160
<v Speaker 2>better f bombs that you'll ever see in an interview

0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:15.679
<v Speaker 2>where she was like, let's just I knew, I just

0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:18.080
<v Speaker 2>had to effing go and then I effing.

0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Went and it was just the most effort and I.

0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Just thought, and you could see the emotion in that

0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:27.920
<v Speaker 2>interview slowly hit her with the gravity of what she'd done.

0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:31.639
<v Speaker 1>It was beautiful though. And I think that if you

0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:34.760
<v Speaker 1>watch that race, you watch the celebrations at the end,

0:21:35.720 --> 0:21:38.800
<v Speaker 1>if you don't cry or at least tear up, you

0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:41.320
<v Speaker 1>don't have a heart, like I'm sorry, you must be

0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:44.520
<v Speaker 1>a sociopath. Like it doesn't it doesn't register for me

0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:46.919
<v Speaker 1>how that's even possible. For me. It was the squeal.

0:21:47.520 --> 0:21:50.280
<v Speaker 1>So as soon as she crosses the line, she just

0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:54.880
<v Speaker 1>has this unbridled it's completely involuntary and she just starts

0:21:55.000 --> 0:21:58.680
<v Speaker 1>screaming and it's like she just cannot believe.

0:21:59.359 --> 0:22:01.400
<v Speaker 2>That was very accurate. And do you want the best

0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:04.359
<v Speaker 2>part is is that she said I screamed like a

0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:07.159
<v Speaker 2>little girl. And I was like, no, you won gold

0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:11.080
<v Speaker 2>like a girl. Yes, because it's our girls that are

0:22:11.080 --> 0:22:14.120
<v Speaker 2>holding us up. You won gold like an Australian female

0:22:14.160 --> 0:22:16.080
<v Speaker 2>at the moment, because they are the ones that are

0:22:16.119 --> 0:22:17.440
<v Speaker 2>just absolutely dominated.

0:22:17.520 --> 0:22:20.520
<v Speaker 1>And this point we still only had one gold from

0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:23.399
<v Speaker 1>a man, yes, and that was Cam Macavoyd, which had

0:22:23.400 --> 0:22:25.560
<v Speaker 1>happened in the same hour. Yes, previously we had an

0:22:25.560 --> 0:22:26.200
<v Speaker 1>out of anything.

0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:30.879
<v Speaker 2>It was again, it's just one of those stories that

0:22:31.119 --> 0:22:32.960
<v Speaker 2>reminds you of the power of sport and the fact

0:22:32.960 --> 0:22:34.560
<v Speaker 2>that we're going to glaze over the next thing I'm

0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:36.840
<v Speaker 2>about to say really upsets me, but we don't have time.

0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:40.920
<v Speaker 2>Arnie Tipmus winning silver in the women's eight hundred meters

0:22:40.920 --> 0:22:44.240
<v Speaker 2>and the way that she took it up to Katie Ledecki,

0:22:44.280 --> 0:22:48.520
<v Speaker 2>who has done the unthinkable to be the Games champion

0:22:49.200 --> 0:22:51.680
<v Speaker 2>back to back to back to back. So she has

0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:55.199
<v Speaker 2>been the best in the world the DECKI for twelve years.

0:22:55.720 --> 0:22:59.959
<v Speaker 1>Isn't that just mental? I mean, but Arnie was right there.

0:23:00.359 --> 0:23:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Arnie was right there, and she also swam I think

0:23:02.800 --> 0:23:03.920
<v Speaker 1>it was her fastest time.

0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:06.920
<v Speaker 2>It was an Oceania record. Yeah, So on day eight

0:23:07.040 --> 0:23:09.640
<v Speaker 2>of being absolutely buggered in her words.

0:23:09.400 --> 0:23:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Yes, she was going going for it, pushing Leadecki the

0:23:14.400 --> 0:23:18.680
<v Speaker 1>goat really of females, something that we've ever seen right

0:23:18.760 --> 0:23:21.200
<v Speaker 1>to the death. And also Arnie did point out, jelmy,

0:23:21.320 --> 0:23:23.760
<v Speaker 1>what you've done when she had started, she had been

0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:26.520
<v Speaker 1>watching Katie Leadecki win this race since Arnie was eleven,

0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:29.800
<v Speaker 1>that's how long Katie has dominated.

0:23:29.160 --> 0:23:32.160
<v Speaker 2>That she just kept with her. It was honestly one

0:23:32.160 --> 0:23:36.080
<v Speaker 2>of the more gutsy swims I've seen of the Games,

0:23:36.440 --> 0:23:38.359
<v Speaker 2>and it was a silver to me, that felt like gold,

0:23:38.400 --> 0:23:40.159
<v Speaker 2>and I just fell more in love with Annie if

0:23:40.160 --> 0:23:42.600
<v Speaker 2>that was possible, I know, just because of the effort

0:23:42.840 --> 0:23:45.199
<v Speaker 2>and what she dug deep to find.

0:23:46.080 --> 0:23:49.480
<v Speaker 1>I find that the photo at the end of that race,

0:23:49.640 --> 0:23:52.640
<v Speaker 1>when it's Arnie and Katie both holding hands, lifting their

0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:57.200
<v Speaker 1>hands the lmanship, that's what but that's girlhood. Just put

0:23:57.200 --> 0:23:58.840
<v Speaker 1>that on billboards, That's what that is.

0:23:59.280 --> 0:24:01.160
<v Speaker 2>And again we're just going to rattle through the rest

0:24:01.160 --> 0:24:04.359
<v Speaker 2>of the weekend results. Our mate Gray Morris, who won

0:24:04.480 --> 0:24:07.040
<v Speaker 2>silver in the windsurfing after knowing that he was going

0:24:07.080 --> 0:24:09.840
<v Speaker 2>to secure bronze at the very least, there was some

0:24:09.880 --> 0:24:12.719
<v Speaker 2>weather delays which Georgia he was in gold medal position

0:24:12.800 --> 0:24:15.120
<v Speaker 2>that if the weather was too bad that they never

0:24:15.119 --> 0:24:17.600
<v Speaker 2>got out there again. In the windsurfing, you would have

0:24:17.640 --> 0:24:20.000
<v Speaker 2>won gold. But in your classic Aussie style is at

0:24:20.000 --> 0:24:21.680
<v Speaker 2>twenty year old, He's like, I wanted to get out

0:24:21.680 --> 0:24:23.800
<v Speaker 2>there and actually have a crack, and they did, and

0:24:23.880 --> 0:24:25.359
<v Speaker 2>he eventually did.

0:24:25.880 --> 0:24:27.840
<v Speaker 1>And I think that this is the longest event Gelemy

0:24:27.880 --> 0:24:30.560
<v Speaker 1>and I've learned things, dear listener over the course of

0:24:30.600 --> 0:24:32.879
<v Speaker 1>our Green and Gold podcast. Maybe the longest event in

0:24:32.920 --> 0:24:36.399
<v Speaker 1>the history of the world. The same the windsurfing, so

0:24:36.680 --> 0:24:40.920
<v Speaker 1>many days of competition. But Gray Morris, just I mean

0:24:41.320 --> 0:24:42.880
<v Speaker 1>he's won a grave sorts, hasn't he?

0:24:42.880 --> 0:24:47.600
<v Speaker 2>He had very very good So it was our first

0:24:47.640 --> 0:24:50.359
<v Speaker 2>medal in the windsurfing since ninety two. He had to

0:24:50.440 --> 0:24:53.480
<v Speaker 2>raise ten thousand dollars himself to get to Paris due

0:24:53.520 --> 0:24:55.320
<v Speaker 2>to being the first Aussie mail to compete in the

0:24:55.359 --> 0:24:58.879
<v Speaker 2>Games since two thousand and four. And he just seems

0:24:58.920 --> 0:25:01.879
<v Speaker 2>to be this one wonderful character. Again only twenty and

0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:04.120
<v Speaker 2>we know sailors can sail for a very long time. Yeah,

0:25:04.200 --> 0:25:06.080
<v Speaker 2>so hopefully we look forward to seeing him in la

0:25:06.200 --> 0:25:08.360
<v Speaker 2>But just one of those amazing, amazing characters.

0:25:08.600 --> 0:25:11.960
<v Speaker 1>And tell me there was another gold of course over

0:25:12.000 --> 0:25:16.119
<v Speaker 1>the weekend from Team Australia, and it came from a team,

0:25:16.359 --> 0:25:20.680
<v Speaker 1>our tennis team, our duo Matt Ebden John Piers won

0:25:20.760 --> 0:25:24.480
<v Speaker 1>gold against Team USA, which also, as we always know,

0:25:24.600 --> 0:25:27.040
<v Speaker 1>just means that little bit more at the Games, you know,

0:25:27.160 --> 0:25:29.760
<v Speaker 1>it really does. They won in three sets, so they

0:25:29.800 --> 0:25:31.359
<v Speaker 1>did it the hard way. Take a look at this

0:25:31.640 --> 0:25:35.960
<v Speaker 1>actual scorecard, six seven seven six seven six.

0:25:35.840 --> 0:25:38.399
<v Speaker 2>Bomb vomit, bomb vommit.

0:25:38.920 --> 0:25:41.200
<v Speaker 1>But they held their nerve to pull off something that

0:25:41.240 --> 0:25:45.440
<v Speaker 1>we have not seen since nineteen ninety six, since.

0:25:45.440 --> 0:25:49.240
<v Speaker 2>The Woodies what the Woodies. And the one thing well

0:25:49.280 --> 0:25:51.320
<v Speaker 2>I light here is Matt Ebden and his story arc

0:25:51.359 --> 0:25:53.680
<v Speaker 2>at the Games, because you will remember that he got

0:25:53.720 --> 0:25:56.399
<v Speaker 2>subbed in when the Demon was like, oh you know what,

0:25:56.440 --> 0:26:00.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm actually too injured tingles in the single, So yeah,

0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:02.000
<v Speaker 2>we've got a spot here for I was and he's like,

0:26:02.040 --> 0:26:03.840
<v Speaker 2>I'll have a crack. Whom I against in the first round,

0:26:04.160 --> 0:26:07.479
<v Speaker 2>Novak Djokovic And to say that he got the floor

0:26:07.760 --> 0:26:11.119
<v Speaker 2>wiped the Serbian just what he's got clay still on

0:26:11.160 --> 0:26:14.760
<v Speaker 2>his nose from what was an absolute demoralization. And at

0:26:14.760 --> 0:26:16.880
<v Speaker 2>one point Matt Ebden went to the crowd and gave

0:26:16.920 --> 0:26:19.159
<v Speaker 2>his racket to a child and said, you want to

0:26:19.160 --> 0:26:22.840
<v Speaker 2>have a go, you want to try here? But then

0:26:23.000 --> 0:26:25.160
<v Speaker 2>in the beauty of the Games, and he has said

0:26:25.200 --> 0:26:28.440
<v Speaker 2>in an interview since how it started versus how it's going,

0:26:28.920 --> 0:26:30.960
<v Speaker 2>I've never wanted to be on a court less than

0:26:30.960 --> 0:26:33.720
<v Speaker 2>when I was getting absolutely smashed by the Joker. And

0:26:33.800 --> 0:26:38.240
<v Speaker 2>yet within a week in the same stadium. I'm now

0:26:38.280 --> 0:26:41.680
<v Speaker 2>an Olympic gold medalist and the two of them, they're warriors.

0:26:41.680 --> 0:26:44.399
<v Speaker 2>They're not those glamour tennis players that you see.

0:26:44.480 --> 0:26:47.800
<v Speaker 1>They've been on the circuit for very most of their lives,

0:26:47.880 --> 0:26:51.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, their mid thirties. They've got families being there

0:26:51.400 --> 0:26:54.879
<v Speaker 1>with the kids, celebrations with them on the court at

0:26:54.960 --> 0:26:57.919
<v Speaker 1>Roland Garros, I thought was so special again. Put that

0:26:58.000 --> 0:27:01.160
<v Speaker 1>on billboards, like them throwing their kids up in the air.

0:27:01.880 --> 0:27:06.320
<v Speaker 1>John Pierce's daughter Ellie in the stands at gold medal

0:27:06.359 --> 0:27:08.840
<v Speaker 1>point and she had her fingers crossed. I was just

0:27:08.880 --> 0:27:11.040
<v Speaker 1>and didn't let it go until they actually secured the

0:27:11.040 --> 0:27:13.439
<v Speaker 1>gold medal. They had four gold medal points. Can I

0:27:13.480 --> 0:27:15.960
<v Speaker 1>just say so, they're just actually testing us now. They

0:27:15.960 --> 0:27:18.520
<v Speaker 1>were having a laugh, but she had those little fingers

0:27:18.520 --> 0:27:21.160
<v Speaker 1>in the cross, just waiting for her dad to be like, yeah,

0:27:21.240 --> 0:27:21.720
<v Speaker 1>we want it.

0:27:21.760 --> 0:27:24.480
<v Speaker 2>And she had to get permissioned to not be at school.

0:27:24.760 --> 0:27:29.320
<v Speaker 1>I know, like it's honestly, honestly, it's such a glorious story.

0:27:29.680 --> 0:27:33.600
<v Speaker 1>But staying on those clay courts, gellmy this morning, I

0:27:33.640 --> 0:27:36.080
<v Speaker 1>know it's not green and gold, but Novak Djokovic did

0:27:36.080 --> 0:27:38.760
<v Speaker 1>pull off a singles win against Carlos al Karaz seven six,

0:27:38.840 --> 0:27:43.080
<v Speaker 1>seven six, and that makes him the oldest gold medalist

0:27:43.480 --> 0:27:46.560
<v Speaker 1>for men's tennis at thirty seven years of age. And

0:27:46.720 --> 0:27:50.000
<v Speaker 1>also he has called it the highlight of his career.

0:27:50.040 --> 0:27:52.560
<v Speaker 1>He said it's one of the things that it's one

0:27:52.560 --> 0:27:54.520
<v Speaker 1>of the achievements that has meant the most to him,

0:27:54.600 --> 0:27:58.560
<v Speaker 1>which over the course of Novak Djokovic's career, that is saying.

0:27:58.600 --> 0:28:03.240
<v Speaker 2>He's finally over his recollected what they call the Golden Slam, Yes,

0:28:02.560 --> 0:28:05.199
<v Speaker 2>the which I think they're meant to do it in

0:28:05.240 --> 0:28:07.679
<v Speaker 2>one calendar year for it to technically be a Golden Slam,

0:28:07.680 --> 0:28:09.520
<v Speaker 2>but it was the one thing that had been elusive

0:28:09.720 --> 0:28:11.760
<v Speaker 2>to him, and he got up there and said how

0:28:11.840 --> 0:28:13.800
<v Speaker 2>much are meant to Serbia? And he was taking on

0:28:14.240 --> 0:28:17.399
<v Speaker 2>kyls Hakaraz, who they just faced off at Wimbledon, so

0:28:17.400 --> 0:28:18.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure that they just keep looking at each other

0:28:18.960 --> 0:28:22.560
<v Speaker 2>being like hello you in the passing of the torch

0:28:22.640 --> 0:28:25.160
<v Speaker 2>and this time it did fall to Novak and again

0:28:25.240 --> 0:28:27.200
<v Speaker 2>his kids were in the stands. It was one of

0:28:27.240 --> 0:28:29.639
<v Speaker 2>those things where when you see someone who's been a

0:28:29.720 --> 0:28:33.280
<v Speaker 2>champion so often, especially on the ATV tour, but then

0:28:33.320 --> 0:28:36.400
<v Speaker 2>you see how different a gold medal means and how

0:28:36.400 --> 0:28:39.560
<v Speaker 2>proud he was to be bringing that home for Serbia.

0:28:39.840 --> 0:28:41.080
<v Speaker 2>It has to be one of the moments of.

0:28:41.000 --> 0:28:43.560
<v Speaker 1>The Games for someone who has won literally everything in

0:28:43.600 --> 0:28:46.800
<v Speaker 1>there to have that be the one thing that you

0:28:46.840 --> 0:28:50.160
<v Speaker 1>can't get a personality like joker. I believe hi when

0:28:50.160 --> 0:28:51.440
<v Speaker 1>you say it means more than anything else.

0:28:51.480 --> 0:28:54.040
<v Speaker 2>Totally our favorite two words that were allowed to say

0:28:54.120 --> 0:28:57.000
<v Speaker 2>only when they actually are guaranteed. Now we have guaranteed

0:28:57.040 --> 0:29:00.560
<v Speaker 2>medals coming up in the boxing, so thanks to Kitlin

0:29:00.640 --> 0:29:02.760
<v Speaker 2>Parker and Charlie Senior, we are going to get both

0:29:02.760 --> 0:29:06.560
<v Speaker 2>a men's and a women's at least bronze. Huge in

0:29:06.600 --> 0:29:08.520
<v Speaker 2>the boxing, so if you're not aware of the boxing

0:29:08.560 --> 0:29:10.440
<v Speaker 2>by the time they get to the semi final bouts

0:29:10.800 --> 0:29:11.800
<v Speaker 2>they both get silver.

0:29:12.160 --> 0:29:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's confusing, It is confusing, but it will talk

0:29:14.360 --> 0:29:16.320
<v Speaker 1>more about it when they actually secure their.

0:29:16.600 --> 0:29:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Great stories, particularly for Kate and Parker, that'll be the

0:29:18.760 --> 0:29:22.719
<v Speaker 2>first time that Australia has ever won a women's boxing

0:29:22.720 --> 0:29:25.360
<v Speaker 2>medal at a game. It's huge, so credible. We will

0:29:25.360 --> 0:29:27.880
<v Speaker 2>elaborate once we know where on the podium they sit.

0:29:27.960 --> 0:29:29.920
<v Speaker 2>But the fact that we have guaranteed medals. Make sure

0:29:30.120 --> 0:29:31.840
<v Speaker 2>that you watch their bouts as they are coming up.

0:29:31.880 --> 0:29:33.600
<v Speaker 2>But we're going to rattle through some other Aussie team

0:29:33.600 --> 0:29:35.640
<v Speaker 2>results the opals.

0:29:35.200 --> 0:29:40.160
<v Speaker 1>There they won. They defeated France. Huge, huge, This was

0:29:40.240 --> 0:29:43.160
<v Speaker 1>a must win game. They won. They are into the

0:29:43.200 --> 0:29:45.040
<v Speaker 1>next round and that was due or die, so that

0:29:45.160 --> 0:29:49.120
<v Speaker 1>is huge for them. Unfortunately, the Kooka bars.

0:29:48.920 --> 0:29:50.840
<v Speaker 2>I said, I had feels about our hockey and our

0:29:50.840 --> 0:29:53.040
<v Speaker 2>success and it was exactly at that moment that they

0:29:53.040 --> 0:29:56.120
<v Speaker 2>went to nil down in the quarterfinals to the Netherlands.

0:29:56.120 --> 0:29:58.200
<v Speaker 1>The AFP once again is waiting our time. Yeah, they

0:29:58.240 --> 0:29:59.440
<v Speaker 1>are coming for me.

0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Are going to push onto the water polo because the

0:30:01.680 --> 0:30:04.840
<v Speaker 2>sting is one another penalty shootout. They love to do

0:30:04.880 --> 0:30:08.240
<v Speaker 2>it dramatically, this time over world number two Hungry to

0:30:08.280 --> 0:30:10.400
<v Speaker 2>go top of their group, undefeated and to book a

0:30:10.440 --> 0:30:15.880
<v Speaker 2>spot into the quarterfinals. The Sharks our men's side, after

0:30:15.920 --> 0:30:18.920
<v Speaker 2>beating Serbia, who are the two time defending champions I

0:30:19.000 --> 0:30:23.160
<v Speaker 2>never don't mind, have then gone on to beat Hungary,

0:30:23.160 --> 0:30:26.240
<v Speaker 2>who are the most decorated in games history. In the

0:30:26.240 --> 0:30:29.120
<v Speaker 2>water polo. We can't overstate how well the water polo

0:30:29.200 --> 0:30:30.760
<v Speaker 2>is going. I'm not going to say that I smell

0:30:30.800 --> 0:30:32.400
<v Speaker 2>of gold in the water, don't. I'm not.

0:30:33.040 --> 0:30:34.320
<v Speaker 1>I didn't say it.

0:30:34.400 --> 0:30:37.840
<v Speaker 2>I didn't say it, So it's not happening. But we

0:30:37.880 --> 0:30:40.040
<v Speaker 2>are do what is happening after. We're going to tell

0:30:40.080 --> 0:30:45.720
<v Speaker 2>you what's coming up after the break.

0:30:53.800 --> 0:30:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh my goodness, jell me. I mean, we may as

0:30:58.360 --> 0:31:00.440
<v Speaker 1>well just stay awake, like I don't think there's any

0:31:00.440 --> 0:31:04.040
<v Speaker 1>point in us sleeping maybe ever again, because how could

0:31:04.080 --> 0:31:05.680
<v Speaker 1>we when there's so much action to watch.

0:31:05.800 --> 0:31:09.520
<v Speaker 2>I'll sleep when I'm dead, surrounded by the gold that

0:31:09.600 --> 0:31:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Australia may or may not win in track and field,

0:31:12.320 --> 0:31:14.840
<v Speaker 2>because we do have a stacked calendar coming up, and

0:31:14.840 --> 0:31:16.560
<v Speaker 2>we're only going to preview what's happening in the next

0:31:16.600 --> 0:31:19.680
<v Speaker 2>twenty four hours. But Curtis Marshall in the men's pole

0:31:19.720 --> 0:31:23.040
<v Speaker 2>vault again, I feel without Nina Kennedy, our Nikola Olislager's

0:31:23.360 --> 0:31:25.880
<v Speaker 2>we haven't really been focusing on Curtis. But he is

0:31:26.120 --> 0:31:29.400
<v Speaker 2>a dual Comwalth Games gold medalist. We know that he's

0:31:29.400 --> 0:31:31.440
<v Speaker 2>had an injured ankle coming into these meets, And why

0:31:31.440 --> 0:31:32.840
<v Speaker 2>don't we say injured like broken?

0:31:33.000 --> 0:31:35.400
<v Speaker 1>We mean he's pole vaulting with a broken out like

0:31:35.440 --> 0:31:39.120
<v Speaker 1>a like such an awful awful injury. I'm pretty sure

0:31:39.120 --> 0:31:41.520
<v Speaker 1>he had necrosis with that ankle injury, and that it's

0:31:41.600 --> 0:31:43.600
<v Speaker 1>all I know is that necro means something to do

0:31:43.640 --> 0:31:45.400
<v Speaker 1>with dead so dead skin and that's not good.

0:31:45.520 --> 0:31:48.360
<v Speaker 2>But he is in action at three am tomorrow, So

0:31:48.400 --> 0:31:51.680
<v Speaker 2>get around that. Tory lewis in the reperchide round of

0:31:51.720 --> 0:31:54.200
<v Speaker 2>the two hundred meters and I will say she recorded

0:31:54.200 --> 0:31:57.160
<v Speaker 2>a PB and still didn't make it through her heat.

0:31:57.840 --> 0:32:01.320
<v Speaker 2>That is just how competitive track and field is. It's unbelievable.

0:32:01.440 --> 0:32:03.479
<v Speaker 1>And tell me me, I would like you to explain

0:32:03.560 --> 0:32:06.440
<v Speaker 1>to me and the listeners what repor charge means, because

0:32:06.440 --> 0:32:08.720
<v Speaker 1>I've been hearing it's thrown around on the coverage a lot,

0:32:08.760 --> 0:32:09.840
<v Speaker 1>and I got no Ouda out.

0:32:09.960 --> 0:32:11.840
<v Speaker 2>So it is the inaugural Games where they've brought in

0:32:11.840 --> 0:32:13.920
<v Speaker 2>the reper charge for track and field. It only happens

0:32:13.960 --> 0:32:16.400
<v Speaker 2>in the hurdles, the two hundred, four hundred, eight hundred

0:32:16.400 --> 0:32:20.200
<v Speaker 2>and fifteen hundred and Georgie. You'll remember previously at Games

0:32:20.640 --> 0:32:23.920
<v Speaker 2>you would have automatic qualification for the best performers in

0:32:23.920 --> 0:32:26.120
<v Speaker 2>each heat, yes, or where you finish where you finish,

0:32:26.120 --> 0:32:27.800
<v Speaker 2>and then they would sort of wait, could there be

0:32:27.880 --> 0:32:32.280
<v Speaker 2>left over spots to decide those places on times, so

0:32:32.320 --> 0:32:34.560
<v Speaker 2>you'd have to be the best placed third person across

0:32:34.880 --> 0:32:37.320
<v Speaker 2>a lot of heats and rights to progress, whereas now

0:32:37.520 --> 0:32:41.040
<v Speaker 2>they have automatic qualification for so many maybe the first two,

0:32:41.320 --> 0:32:43.640
<v Speaker 2>and it is different for all of these events. And

0:32:43.720 --> 0:32:47.160
<v Speaker 2>then they have another race called the reper charge, which

0:32:47.280 --> 0:32:51.520
<v Speaker 2>essentially is giving all athletes a second chance. So if

0:32:51.560 --> 0:32:55.000
<v Speaker 2>you finish last in your heat doesn't matter, you still

0:32:55.000 --> 0:32:57.920
<v Speaker 2>have a chance at the reper charge. Again, it's the

0:32:57.920 --> 0:32:59.520
<v Speaker 2>first time that it's been brought in. It's been a

0:32:59.560 --> 0:33:02.200
<v Speaker 2>little bit controversial because then and we saw this with

0:33:02.240 --> 0:33:05.080
<v Speaker 2>the women's eight hundred meters, in order to go through

0:33:05.600 --> 0:33:08.480
<v Speaker 2>into the semifinals with the reper charge, you needed to

0:33:08.560 --> 0:33:12.120
<v Speaker 2>win your heat, which naturally there's going to be stronger

0:33:12.400 --> 0:33:14.200
<v Speaker 2>some of the heats are going to have stronger fields.

0:33:14.680 --> 0:33:17.680
<v Speaker 2>So is that fair? I personally like it because the

0:33:17.680 --> 0:33:20.280
<v Speaker 2>other thing is a sudden death. I like it because

0:33:20.320 --> 0:33:22.040
<v Speaker 2>it just adds more more races.

0:33:22.040 --> 0:33:24.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, it adds more races, but also imagine if you

0:33:24.400 --> 0:33:26.720
<v Speaker 1>somehow ended up on the podium after having to fight

0:33:26.760 --> 0:33:29.840
<v Speaker 1>your way through the reper charge, Like what a story.

0:33:30.560 --> 0:33:32.960
<v Speaker 2>You're doing it the hard way, and that's the love

0:33:33.040 --> 0:33:35.000
<v Speaker 2>it That's the other thing too, is they're saying it's

0:33:35.040 --> 0:33:37.560
<v Speaker 2>motivating athletes to want to just get through in their heat,

0:33:38.040 --> 0:33:40.600
<v Speaker 2>especially if you're looking at something like a fifteen hundred meters.

0:33:40.920 --> 0:33:43.440
<v Speaker 2>It means that you don't have to race again. So

0:33:43.480 --> 0:33:45.760
<v Speaker 2>there is an advantage for those athletes that do well

0:33:45.760 --> 0:33:46.160
<v Speaker 2>in their.

0:33:46.000 --> 0:33:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Head, they want to have fast heats, not cruising on you,

0:33:48.000 --> 0:33:50.560
<v Speaker 1>not just going oh yeah, I'm just not the older

0:33:50.640 --> 0:33:53.240
<v Speaker 1>over one hundred meters, just looking down the line, which

0:33:53.320 --> 0:33:54.240
<v Speaker 1>blows my mind.

0:33:54.320 --> 0:33:57.520
<v Speaker 2>Noah allows no Las have to mention him again. We

0:33:57.560 --> 0:34:01.040
<v Speaker 2>are talking about a fox in the canoe slalam, but

0:34:01.200 --> 0:34:05.360
<v Speaker 2>this time it's not our girl Jess, because it's got

0:34:05.440 --> 0:34:07.200
<v Speaker 2>through no waymy.

0:34:07.200 --> 0:34:09.920
<v Speaker 1>She has a chance to meddle in the kayak cross,

0:34:09.960 --> 0:34:12.520
<v Speaker 1>or as I call it, the extreme kayak.

0:34:13.000 --> 0:34:15.160
<v Speaker 2>I would I cannot begin to tell you how much

0:34:15.160 --> 0:34:17.640
<v Speaker 2>I would capsize if someone dropped me from that height

0:34:17.680 --> 0:34:20.640
<v Speaker 2>in a boat into the water. I've just watched the start, Just.

0:34:20.600 --> 0:34:22.839
<v Speaker 1>Watch the start. But then what I've learned is they

0:34:22.880 --> 0:34:26.719
<v Speaker 1>go underwater, they submerge themselves and do like a full

0:34:26.760 --> 0:34:27.799
<v Speaker 1>three sixty.

0:34:27.520 --> 0:34:29.360
<v Speaker 2>And it's a contact sport. They whack each other, they

0:34:29.480 --> 0:34:33.000
<v Speaker 2>hit each other. It's their paddles extreme. But the quarterfinals

0:34:33.040 --> 0:34:36.040
<v Speaker 2>are going to be happenying just before midnight than the

0:34:36.080 --> 0:34:39.760
<v Speaker 2>semifinals at quarter past and then at one am the final.

0:34:39.840 --> 0:34:42.400
<v Speaker 2>But if we do see another Fox on the podium,

0:34:43.000 --> 0:34:43.799
<v Speaker 2>what what done?

0:34:43.960 --> 0:34:48.759
<v Speaker 1>That's incredible, That's insane. If that happens. Also tomorrow the

0:34:48.960 --> 0:34:53.360
<v Speaker 1>surfing gelmy three thirty six am. I know that it's early,

0:34:53.560 --> 0:34:55.360
<v Speaker 1>but that's already up watching.

0:34:56.200 --> 0:34:57.600
<v Speaker 2>You haven't even contact sleep.

0:34:57.920 --> 0:35:01.840
<v Speaker 1>So this is the semifinals inter and we have Jack Robinson,

0:35:01.920 --> 0:35:03.839
<v Speaker 1>our great hope, who was up.

0:35:03.760 --> 0:35:06.400
<v Speaker 2>Against Gabriel Medina.

0:35:06.600 --> 0:35:09.719
<v Speaker 1>Pretty solid surfer, pretty solid surfer, gave me the best

0:35:09.760 --> 0:35:11.239
<v Speaker 1>in the world. If you don't know who he is,

0:35:11.400 --> 0:35:14.560
<v Speaker 1>just think about that incredible photo that you've seen over

0:35:14.560 --> 0:35:16.080
<v Speaker 1>the last couple of weeks.

0:35:15.920 --> 0:35:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Where he's levitating in his hands in the air next

0:35:17.960 --> 0:35:21.200
<v Speaker 2>to a serf. He is. It's going to be hard

0:35:21.200 --> 0:35:22.719
<v Speaker 2>for Jack, but you've just got to You've got to

0:35:22.760 --> 0:35:25.000
<v Speaker 2>ride the wave. Who knows because a gold medal match

0:35:25.160 --> 0:35:28.600
<v Speaker 2>will be at six forty five in the morning, So

0:35:28.719 --> 0:35:31.000
<v Speaker 2>if he does progress, you'll be able to wake up

0:35:31.000 --> 0:35:33.240
<v Speaker 2>and have your weedies and watch that the undefeated hockey

0:35:33.320 --> 0:35:36.480
<v Speaker 2>rus have a quarter final meeting with China tonight.

0:35:36.640 --> 0:35:37.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm nervous.

0:35:37.280 --> 0:35:38.960
<v Speaker 2>That's at six pm. I'm not even going to talk

0:35:38.960 --> 0:35:40.799
<v Speaker 2>about how I feel about our chances because that has

0:35:40.800 --> 0:35:41.359
<v Speaker 2>not gone well.

0:35:41.440 --> 0:35:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Right, that's right in the hockey sofar. Doing that, you.

0:35:44.080 --> 0:35:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Rus and just to round it out because we don't

0:35:48.000 --> 0:35:49.799
<v Speaker 2>mention her, then we're going to get a taser. But

0:35:49.880 --> 0:35:53.720
<v Speaker 2>Simone Biles is gunning for more history. In the beam final,

0:35:54.719 --> 0:35:55.720
<v Speaker 2>say you'll be watching.

0:35:55.800 --> 0:35:58.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll be watching because it's at a very friendly time.

0:35:58.040 --> 0:36:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Eight thirty six. She takes to the balance for the

0:36:00.440 --> 0:36:05.680
<v Speaker 1>final and then the floor final ten twenty tonight, so

0:36:05.800 --> 0:36:10.040

<v Speaker 2>She's won her seventh Games gold.

0:36:12.280 --> 0:36:14.280
<v Speaker 1>In the in the vaults, the vault, which is insane.

0:36:15.640 --> 0:36:17.920
<v Speaker 1>can do. That Your chenko whatever, it is her special thing.

0:36:17.920 --> 0:36:20.240
<v Speaker 1>It'll because it's now the Biles too. It's the most

0:36:20.280 --> 0:36:23.279
<v Speaker 1>like your chenko can go out of bills in but
