Speaker 1: week before heading off to compete in the Well in

00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: the Paris Olympics. Amazingly and they'll be the Northern territories

Speaker 1: only representatives at the Games. Now joining us in the

Speaker 1: studio to tell us a bit more is the NT

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 1: Hockey CEO Jason Butcher.

9
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: Good morning to you.

10
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 3: Morning Katie. How are you?

00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 2: Yeah? Really good?

00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: Lovely to have you in the studio and lovely to

13
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: find out a bit more about what's happening with hockey.

14
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 2: It sounds like we are going great guns.

15
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, exciting times. Last night the Hockey rus and the

16
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 4: Kokobar has both won their last games. So we've got

17
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 4: Jeremy Hayward and Brook Paris and Tom Wickham Alice rings

18
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 4: Boy in those teams and those teams are named on

19
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 4: July the first. And Leon Hayward of course, the brother

20
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 4: of Jeremy, who plays for the Blacksticks New Zealand part

21
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 4: of a dual passport arrangement. He's also played for Australia

22
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 4: as well, though they won their nation Nation Cup, which

23
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 4: is a tournament I think in Poland. So they won

24
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 4: their first tournament for over ten years, I think so.

25
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 3: And he was the star of the show in the shootout.

26
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 3: How was it?

27
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, that is so like, it's so I reckon.

28
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 1: It's so incredible to see Territorians doing well on any

29
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: national stage or international stage. But then when you look

30
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: at sport, we seem to do so incredibly well when.

31
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: It comes to hockey.

32
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, we have an amazing heritage, especially at the Olympics,

33
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 4: but also other high profile events like the World Cup

34
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 4: and so forth. But to have four right now, and

35
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 4: also with Tom Wickham who's born and bred sort of

36
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 4: Alice Springs boys pretty exciting. And for three of them

37
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 4: it's their second Olympics and for Brook its potentially her third.

38
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,839
Speaker 3: So these guys are an amazing part of our story

39
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 3: and Territory sport in general.

40
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: They truly are.

41
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: I hosted the Northern Territory Sports Awards, not this year

42
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: but last year and hockey was just representing, like gott

43
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: to say, doing incredibly well at those awards.

44
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was an amazing night. Yeah, we had a

45
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 4: clean up night some young up and comers as well. Yeah,

46
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 4: that was a very and that's sort of been our

47
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 4: history as well. It's part of what we're really proud

48
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 4: of that heritage.

49
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: So tell me when do they leave for Paris?

50
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 3: My understanding is they go home now.

51
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 4: Teams are named on July the first, so that gets

52
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 4: this is the stressful time.

53
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 3: Have you ever been in Perth when this is all

54
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 3: going on?

55
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 4: We're the national program space and I think they fly

56
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 4: back to the area. I'm not sure if they go

57
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 4: straight to Paris on the seven eighth.

58
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, right now, you were the assistant coach of the

59
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: hockey is right long time ago. But yes, like you

60
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: would know the stress that those athletes are. It would

61
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: be a lot of pressure, a lot of fun, you know,

62
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: I want you there and throughout the games, but it

63
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: would also be a lot of stress.

64
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: I would imagine.

65
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, it gets stressful now because everything's out of their hands.

66
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 4: They're also trying to make sure they don't get any

67
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 4: little injuries at training soft tittuo injuries.

68
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 3: Timing is everything.

69
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 4: But most of their work is done and of course

70
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 4: they got to train and live together and they're all

71
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 4: best friends. They travel around the world together and they're

72
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 4: fighting for something they've been fighting for since our little

73
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 4: kids and they can't all go, so is stressful.

74
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: It's a hard part, hey, and you're fighting against your mates,

75
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: people that you want to see do well also, but

76
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: you want to see yourself do well.

77
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's confusing and complicated.

78
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 2: It would be.

79
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: That's a hard thing about team sport, right, like individual

80
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: sports tough as well though in that scense.

81
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: But yeah, it will be hard going for them.

82
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a big prize and both of our teams

83
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 4: are in good positions. They're both on top of the

84
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 4: pro league ladders and are ranked fourth in the world

85
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 4: and playing good hockey.

86
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 3: So they're not just going to the Olympics, they're a

87
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 3: chance to win.

88
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:29,279
Speaker 2: Yeah.

89
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: Well, look as the Paris Games get underway, we might

90
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: have to have some more regular catchups with you to

91
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: hear how the hockey's going.

92
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 2: I reckon.

93
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it would be amazing.

94
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: Now we also know that in some pretty exciting hockey

95
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: news that the SRA Territory Stingers are set to face

96
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: the reigning Hockey One champions, the Brisbane Blaze. It's a

97
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: rematch that's happening in Darwin in September. This sounds pretty

98
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: awesome as well.

99
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we're on a three year journey to get

100
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 4: back in the league. We haven't been in the league

101
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 4: since twenty eighteen, and you know, we're currently in in

102
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 4: a submission or tender process to get our license back.

103
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 4: And so what we basically started is hosting our own

104
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 4: event preceding the league and inviting teams here so that

105
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 4: our senior players get a chance to play, get exposed

106
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 4: to that level, and also we get to stress test

107
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 4: ourselves in terms of hosting games and events at that level,

108
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 4: ready hopefully for next year.

109
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, and so what does it sort of take

110
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: to get back into the league.

111
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 4: The whole process is around facility and playing list and

112
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 4: your capacity to deliver the events and a whole range

113
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 4: of things about your cultural significance. So they've tended this

114
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 4: to the whole of Australia. So it's a big process.

115
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 4: We we're in the we find out on June the

116
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 4: twentieth where we're at with the second part of the process,

117
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 4: which we're confident of getting through. We submitted a forty

118
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 4: five page document which give you an idea of the

119
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 4: level of DTA YEA and then after we hopefully get

120
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 4: that not on June the twentieth, we'll go the last

121
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 4: phase of the process and we expect to get in

122
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 4: interrogated dumb.

123
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 3: It's through that and make our case.

124
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 4: But we have a really strong case with some great support,

125
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 4: so we're very confident.

126
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: And how like, how big a deal will it be

127
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: for the Northern Territory and for Darlin?

128
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 3: I think it's massive.

129
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 4: We have this missing generation who haven't had that opportunity

130
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 4: to be exposed to that level or even to aspire

131
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 4: to that level. And I'm a big believer that the

132
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 4: aspirational piece not just a connection to pathway. It's important

133
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 4: because we won't have another Brook or Jeremy or Leon

134
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 4: or Tom if these kids can't get to play that

135
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 4: level because it can't get selected. But what's changed over

136
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 4: the last twelve eighteen months with this, with the singers

137
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 4: coming back into vogue and we're having events and.

138
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 3: We're talking about it and rebranding.

139
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 4: The whole thing is the energy and the aspirational level

140
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 4: and our people has changed because of that. So hopes

141
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 4: and dreams are always going to be part of sport,

142
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 4: right and it has to be what's given us a

143
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 4: bit of a heartbeat again, Yeah, it.

144
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: Has to be and then when you think about the

145
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: young ones sort of coming up through the ranks, seeing

146
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: like you touched on, you know, those pathways and having

147
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: those pathways, it makes a big deal, right.

148
00:05:59,120 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 3: It's massive.

149
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 4: Talking to two of our hundred thirteen boys last night,

150
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 4: I was at the stadium and they were talking about

151
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 4: what's happening, where are we at? And you can see

152
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 4: the glint in their eyes like they're thinking ahead of

153
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 4: like going, we want our team back and we won't

154
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 4: be able to have the chance to work hard to

155
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 4: play on that stage.

156
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: Yep. Yeah, absolutely, And I'm a big supporter of young

157
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: people in sport and having those pathways forward, no matter

158
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: what sport it is. But hockey's a tremendous sport. And

159
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: I run around Mara. I was saying this to you

160
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: all fair. I run around Marara a lot while my

161
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: kids are at different sports in the afternoons, and jeez,

162
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: you see lots of them flowing into hockey.

163
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 2: At the moment. Your numbers must be going well, aren't they.

164
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've had a.

165
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 4: Big pick up in the under eight under tens. We

166
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 4: even have an under six program now called the Jellies,

167
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 4: which is homage to the Stingers.

168
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 3: Which yes, very very cute.

169
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 4: So yeah, that space has been a space we've invested

170
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 4: really heavily into. And of course there's some media that

171
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 4: went out last night I think around our push to

172
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,799
Speaker 4: get Alice Springs back up and running again as well.

173
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 4: So that's a big part of our story that we're pushing.

174
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: So is there a compinallis at the moment or is

175
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: it about to get back underway?

176
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 4: So the senior comp's been stable and the juniors is

177
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 4: the thing that hasn't been in place for over a decade.

178
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 4: And so we had a gala day with over one

179
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 4: hundred kids a month last month, and we have programs

180
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 4: in the schools and regional communities and we're pushing really

181
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 4: hard to be visible and to provide opportunities and accessibility

182
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 4: for people to be a part of hockey again.

183
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, good stuff.

184
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: So in Central Australia it sounds like you are like

185
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: you're really sort of pushing to get that back underway.

186
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 3: It's really important to us.

187
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 4: Out of Springs has been a really strong part of

188
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 4: our history since our inception as a sport, our affiliation

189
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 4: with Hockey Australia, and you know, it's not just about

190
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 4: having regional centers where hockey is thriving. You know, in

191
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 4: two thousand and three we won the under eight national

192
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 4: Championship so div one like unheard we won the Grand

193
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 4: Final three nil, so we killed it where Des Abbott

194
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 4: and Joel Carroll and these guys came from. But in

195
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 4: that team, the story that people often don't hear about

196
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 4: is that six those boys from Alice Springs. Yeah, now

197
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 4: that's pretty amazing when we're talking about Australia is one

198
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 4: of the strongest nations in the world. Hockey is a

199
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,559
Speaker 4: big sport globally, mass participation, and we win a national

200
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 4: championship at that level with six hour Springs kids.

201
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: Wow, that's actually unbelievable, is I know, you know for

202
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people who are involved in sport, particularly

203
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: if you take your kids away for the nationals or

204
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: if you know, you will understand just how unheard of

205
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: that is.

206
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

207
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well we have zero point zero two percent of

208
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 4: the hockey population in Australia, so we know we go

209
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 4: to these gunfights with a butter knife, but historically we've

210
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 4: done pretty good with that.

211
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: Well, and you know the other part of it is

212
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: some of these some of the different squads that you

213
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: compete against. They're training together for weeks and months ahead

214
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: and then we bring in, you know, our kids from

215
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: Alice Springs, our kids from Darwin, our kids from Catherine

216
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: and they all get chucked in a team together and

217
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: give it a red hot guy.

218
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, we do a pretty good job of that decentralized

219
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 4: notion of teams because we have imports at times as well,

220
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 4: so we've always done pretty well with that. But yeah,

221
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 4: of course where there's lots of things we're up against.

222
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 4: But you know, that's been one of the strengths of

223
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 4: hockey is our ability to put that together and not

224
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 4: just a ten national championships, but go to Div one

225
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 4: tournaments against the best of the best and quite often

226
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 4: do pretty well.

227
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

228
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 2: Good, that's really good to hear. Hey, I know that hockey.

229
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: And he's also partnering with the Australian Olympic Committee and

230
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,479
Speaker 1: Hockey Australia for a two week program in October.

231
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 2: What does that involve.

232
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, So Hockey Australia been really supportive of our what

233
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 4: we're investing in Nallo Springs, so they've been part of

234
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 4: this resurgence right from the start, which has been amazing

235
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 4: and the AOC's involvement is connected to their Olympic program,

236
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 4: so after Paris, bringing Olympians into regional centers and underserved

237
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 4: communities and essentially selling that message and spending time as

238
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 4: mentors with these kids.

239
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 3: So we're just tying that in and we're.

240
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 4: Hopeful it's Brooke, Jeremy or so forth and Tom going

241
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 4: back home to Alas Springs. But yeah, Ac how he's

242
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 4: been working closely with us to put what we're doing

243
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 4: already in place, but also for us to have a

244
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 4: bit of an event and to sell the Olympics after

245
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 4: we hopefully have some success.

246
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, such a good thing to do. Well, it is
