We were telling you you got 57 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 2: to watch her because Tony Hawker said some incredible things 58 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 2: about her. 59 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: We were telling you to watch her. 60 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 3: She thinks no one's ever done before the X Games. 61 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 5: But you also think she's fourteen, How is she going 62 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 5: to go on the biggest stage? 63 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: Fine, now done? 64 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, she just had the absolute poise and the absolute 65 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 2: dare I say chill of a skateboarder. 66 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 5: So she is just fourteen years and eighty six days old. 67 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 5: And the reason why we mentioned the days is that 68 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 5: she is our youngest ever Games medalist for Australia ever 69 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 5: ever ever. And the other top are all swimmers man 70 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 5: from a long time ago. The most recent was Lisa 71 00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 5: Jones in two thousand, yes. 72 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 2: Which to me feels like yesterday, and I remember so 73 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 2: vividly seeing her achieve amazing things on the world stage. 74 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 2: Liesel Jones, because you're right, I am a swimmer, so 75 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 2: obviously I followed her career very closely. But Arissa True 76 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 2: is literally a third of Liesel's size. 77 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 1: Like she's fourteen going on she was, she really is. 78 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 2: She's so diminutive, diminutive, but she has the power of 79 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 2: someone much much older, and also the discipline for this event, 80 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 2: the Women's Park Final. She get three runs. Yes, the 81 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 2: first run she falls, so that count. That doesn't count. 82 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 2: She can get some points, she gets a score, but really, 83 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 2: you're not gonna wing gold with that. 84 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 3: Most fourteen year olds cry to their parents, that's right on, go. 85 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 5: I stuffed it. I don't want to go again. Yeah, 86 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 5: that's how I would have gone at fourteen. 87 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 2: Arissa dusted off those really amazing pink kneepads and pink helmet. 88 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: Don't think I have not noticed them. Arissa loved it. 89 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 3: I making safety cool. Yes, we love that. 90 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: We love that. 91 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 2: And then in her second run she posted ninety point 92 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 2: one one, very good, very very solid, but that meant 93 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 2: she had one run left that wasn't putting her in 94 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 2: the lead, the ninety point one one. 95 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 3: And her coach Trevor said, just. 96 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 5: Leave it all out there, you young child, and by god, 97 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 5: she did. And she said she had both speed and execution, 98 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 5: and up until that point a lot of them had one, 99 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 5: but not the other. The competitors, but the ninety three 100 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 5: point one point eight and then she did what we're 101 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 5: calling a Jess fox, which is being the goal position 102 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 5: and have to wait and see if anyone was going 103 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 5: to take it. 104 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 3: But Georgie, this. 105 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 5: Blows my mind because she is, as we've mentioned, fourteen. 106 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 5: Hiraki Kokona, who came second from Japan is fifteen, yes, 107 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 5: and Sky Brown, veteran of the sport, sixteen and the 108 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 5: other two it is their second games. Is what is 109 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,799 Speaker 5: She can't stay in the village because she's too young. 110 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 2: She is too young to go to the village. She 111 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 2: has a chaperone over there. She's staying in a hotel. 112 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 5: Of which she said, at least I don't have to 113 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 5: sleep on the cardboard beds, but she'd be the only 114 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 5: weight that would make comfortable. 115 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 2: You're fourteen, fourteen, you are fourteen, And this is what 116 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 2: I did really love. I know I have said on 117 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 2: this podcast this time around. You know, I've said a 118 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 2: few things about the skateboarding, but what I loved about 119 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 2: its inclusion in Tokyo was the camaraderie between us, all 120 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 2: of the competitors, and that happened again today. What we 121 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 2: saw when Arissa was waiting and she was looking at 122 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,119 Speaker 2: each of her competitors and some fell again, some didn't 123 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 2: post as good scores. When I say some all of 124 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,919 Speaker 2: them because she was on top. But there really was 125 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 2: this great, genuine sense of love for one another and 126 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 2: it was like they were all proud of each other 127 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 2: because yes, these girls are young, but also they still 128 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 2: travel the world because skateboarding is a legitimate sport, yes, 129 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 2: and it is very very competitive. 130 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 5: We use the term girlhood and that's been used to 131 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 5: describe what we saw in the gymnastics, with them both 132 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 5: bowing down to who came first. But these are genuine girls. 133 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 5: Actually they're very very young, young adults. And the fact 134 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 5: that they're able to have these friendships that hopefully competing 135 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 5: for as long as I don't know Tony Hawk did 136 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 5: because Tony Hawk is still there, and he gave this 137 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 5: amazing quote about Arissa saying, I think she's leading the 138 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 5: way of what is possible in skateboarding and women's skateboarding, 139 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 5: and it's basically just said, we're lucky to have her. 140 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, definitely, and she is again, we can't impress 141 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 2: enough fourteen years of age, so we're going to have 142 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 2: her on this world stage for a very very long time. 143 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: What I love about Arissa is that she just loves. 144 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 2: The sport so much. Yes, this is her life. The 145 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 2: two cannot be. They're inextricable. 146 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 1: At the moment. 147 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 2: She goes to a skate school, so she's not your 148 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 2: regular fourteen year old. 149 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: She's a cool fourteen year old. 150 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 5: I have told you that she's a gold medalist. I 151 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 5: think she has no trouble making friends at this school. 152 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 2: They go to skate school on the Gold Coast, and 153 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 2: essentially the structure of their day is something like an 154 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 2: average day. They would do regular studies for three hours 155 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 2: and then they would head to the park and they 156 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 2: do four hours of skateboard coaching and so they are learning, 157 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 2: they are training. And then after that, once school's finally out, 158 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 2: when that bell goes and they're like, oh few big day, 159 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 2: they head back to the skate rink and they just 160 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 2: continue skating.

And I remember when I 185 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 2: was watching this event, the commentators they did point out 186 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 2: that one of the girls competing in the park she 187 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 2: already has a pet duck and it's. 188 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: Named Richard, Richard the Duck. 189 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 3: Well, here you go. 190 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 5: So she got it froone else with a duck in 191 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 5: a way that when we were fourteen and had Tamagotch's 192 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 5: and has decided that she'd like one. 193 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: And you don't have time, baby, I got too many 194 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 1: old busy You're too busy. 195 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 5: And again one of the questions it was asked for 196 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 5: her is like, you know, you've conquered the world.

And again she's represented Australia so. 203 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 2: Well and as we mentioned, doing things that no one 204 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 2: else in the sport can do. The reason that we 205 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 2: did talk about her and the lead up to the 206 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 2: Games was because back in April she became the first 207 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 2: woman ever to land a nine hundred degree spin in competition. Like, hello, Hello, 208 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 2: she's incredible. 209 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 5: And even more scarily is that she's like, Oh, I 210 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 5: really hope Burt's involved in LA, And in my head, I'm. 211 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 3: Like, vert Bert, who's Burt? Burt is the vertical ramp, 212 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 3: which is a pet event? 213 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 1: Yes, like the half pipe? 214 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 5: Right, So LA, of all of all games, is going 215 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,559 Speaker 5: to be the likely one to add more to skateboarding. 216 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 3: Yes, so we could see her do a Jess Fox 217 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 3: and double dip. 218 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 2: Oh one thousand percent. I think that she will. I 219 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 2: think that she will also speaking of just wonderful, wonderful 220 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 2: performances that I'm so glad that have happened, you know, 221 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 2: like it was wonderful to see Arisa true and what 222 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 2: she achieved and to see her on that dice and 223 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 2: how happy she was and how gorgeous she was. Something 224 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 2: that felt like gold, and something that felt like a 225 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 2: gold winning performance was the Australian sprint team in the 226 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 2: cycling the track cycling we are here, the team of 227 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 2: Matthew Glitzer, Lee Hoffman and Matthew Richardson won bronze overnight. 228 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 5: It was giving when Boomers won the bronze and it 229 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 5: was rose gold. 230 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 3: Yes, this felt like rose gold. 231 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 5: And to see Matt Glitzer after the event say, you know, 232 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 5: we've come forth so many times and he's not lying 233 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 5: because since Athens in two thousand and four in this 234 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 5: event they have been fourth. Then in Beijing, fourth, London, fourth, 235 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 5: Rio fourth, Tokyo fourth. 236 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 4: They get to Paris and they finally finally get to 237 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 4: stand on the podium and understandably they are pumped, but 238 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 4: mac Glitzer in particular has such an amazing story. 239 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 2: This is why we love the games, because when it 240 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 2: comes to storylines like this, you just think this can't 241 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 2: be real. So Matt Glitzer has been a part of 242 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,079 Speaker 2: this team for decades now, he's thirty one. 243 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: How old are we thirty one? 244 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 5: He's one of the most Evarissa, she needs a chaperone. 245 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 2: Again, he's one of the most experienced on the team, 246 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 2: and he's had a difficult time to get to where 247 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 2: he is. In twenty seventeen, his former coach Gary West 248 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 2: lost his battle with Mode on your Own disease, so 249 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 2: he obviously took that very very personally, very very hard, 250 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 2: had to overcome that. Twenty nineteen, Matt himself is diagnosed 251 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 2: with thyroid cancer and immediately starts undergoing treatment. He recovers 252 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 2: from that, he's in remission, and then in twenty twenty 253 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 2: so on the lead up to the Tokyo Games, he 254 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 2: tears his calf and you think how much can one 255 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 2: person take? And along with that, we're seeing the results 256 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 2: of fourth, fourth, fourth, fourth and fourth by just like 257 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,959 Speaker 2: we're still talking, you know, one hundreds and tens of 258 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,959 Speaker 2: seconds and fourth in the world, in the world, in 259 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 2: the world, but he said that there were three things 260 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 2: that kept him going because he seriously considered retiring after Tokyo. 261 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 2: Three things. Number one, his wife, Nikki and all of 262 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 2: her support. Number two his teammates. He genuinely is very 263 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 2: excited about this team in particular. And number three that 264 00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 2: elusive medal. 265 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: Oh, and he's got it. 266 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 5: And he was really emotional in the interview afterwards, and 267 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,439 Speaker 5: he said, I know the media and a lot of 268 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 5: people back home put a lot of emphasis on gold, 269 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 5: but I can't begin to tell you how much this 270 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 5: feels like gold. 271 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's so wonderful. 272 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 2: And if anyone is still thinking, oh my gosh, like 273 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,559 Speaker 2: a bronze, what's bronze, go back and look up Jordan 274 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 2: Chiles's reaction to her winning bronze and oh my god, 275 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 2: I was so being She was so excited, And that 276 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 2: was the spirit that Matt Glatz had brought to this 277 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 2: team as well. 278 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,839 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's wonderful, and it's about those stories and those 279 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 5: journeys of almost giving up but deciding to have another 280 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 5: crack and the comeback. 281 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: It's sozzy. 282 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 2: That's why we think we're the number three superpower in 283 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 2: the world. 284 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:40,839 Speaker 3: We absolutely are. 285 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 5: And again we've gone skateboarding, cycling, but we're going to 286 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 5: go back to like one of the cool kids on 287 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 5: the block in surfing.

She did 331 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: point out that it was really she's got a cool now, 332 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: I know, yeah right. 333 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 2: She pointed out that it was a difficult event to 334 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 2: compete in over there in Tahiti because the athletes themselves, 335 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 2: they had delays because there was no swell. 336 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: They had delays because there was dead lease. 337 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 2: Well then Jack also injured his foot really quite badly. 338 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: He had stitches. That was really worrying. 339 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 2: It was an achilles injury almost, so he was coming 340 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 2: back from that as well. And then in the final 341 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 2: he was up against the Tahitian local in Kooley Vast, 342 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 2: so it was there are layers, there are so many layers. Again, 343 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 2: the surf wasn't amazing. There was only three waves. I 344 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 2: think Jack got one of them, Coolly got the other two. 345 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 2: He's the local. 346 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 5: So I feel control the controllers bring in a simulator. 347 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: I know how you feel. 348 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 2: But it is a wonderful result. Our actual real life 349 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 2: silver surfer who now gets to take that silver medal home. 350 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 2: But he gets to take that silver Metal home to 351 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 2: his seven month old son z In, which really does 352 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 2: just sum upsurfing as well, doesn't it Little Zen? 353 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, it can be his YouTube tol Zen Robinson. 354 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 5: All right, let's calculate how many games until he's fourteen 355 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 5: and just lock it in, lock it in. 356 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 3: That is that's unbelievable. But we are heading to the. 357 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 5: Track because s Hull, another athlete that we previewed, was 358 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 5: in action for the first time and we talked about her. 359 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 5: Of course having the world record now in the two 360 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 5: thousand meters and competing in the fifteen hundred. Both she 361 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 5: and Georgia Griffith made it very easy going into the semifinal. 362 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 5: Lindon Hall, who previous to this, it was almost like 363 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 5: Linden Hall and Jess Hull were mentioned in the same breath, 364 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 5: the turk of them. She tore her calf ten days 365 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 5: before competition, still competed and she is going to be 366 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 5: going into the reper change. So the fact that she's 367 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 5: even had a crack is very Australian of verse. So 368 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 5: looking forward to seeing that race holder finished fifth in 369 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 5: the four hundred meters semi final, which I think is. 370 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: That's massive, huge, that's massive. 371 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 5: Australian's getting into semi finals of track is a massive. 372 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 2: He was only eighteen, so think about la. We talked 373 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 2: about Claudia Hollingsworth in the eight hundred meters, also eighteenth, 374 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 2: also eighteen, and we were saying that this is experience 375 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 2: for them. Tory Lewis, this is experience that they are 376 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 2: going to take into the next Games in four years time. 377 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 3: Tory Lewis, who was still celebrating her with in the 378 00:16:59,200 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 3: reper charge. 379 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: We love those reper charges. We love, love love. 380 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 2: I also want to make quick mention Alana Yukitchi. We 381 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 2: also mentioned yesterday finished seventh in the four hundred meter 382 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 2: hurd or semi final. So again wonderful that we are 383 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 2: competing and doing so well in the semis. But very 384 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 2: special mention to our girl. She's American, but we're still 385 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 2: calling her that. Gabby Thomas, who won the two hundred 386 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 2: meter women's final this morning. 387 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: She is one of the stars of sprint. 388 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:27,679 Speaker 3: I was about to. 389 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 5: Say for anyone playing along at home, as soon as 390 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 5: we say one of ours. 391 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 3: They were a feature in the spring dot co is 392 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 3: anyone more marketable? 393 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 2: No, no, she's not, Jemmy. She has a master's in 394 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 2: public health from Harvard. So just in the you know, 395 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 2: her spare time. She's been studying at Harvard, and she's 396 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 2: got this gold now in the two hundred. Think she's hideous. Oh, 397 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 2: she's so gorgeous. In another life, I'll come back as 398 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 2: Gabby Thomas. 399 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 3: Look it's up there. Yeah, it's up there. 400 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: Yeah. 401 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 5: If you were going to come back as an athlete 402 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 5: that everyone loves, you'd probably come back as Patty Mills. 403 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and I mean our Boomers. 404 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 5: They were gallant, and by gallant, I mean in overtime 405 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 5: going down to Serbia to end their campaign for another medal. However, 406 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 5: my goodness, did Patty just put on one of the 407 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 5: great performances. 408 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 2: Some of his clutch shots. I stayed up to watch 409 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 2: this game. So if I'm sounding a little bit sluggish, 410 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 2: dear listener, I'm blaming the Boomers. But the clutchest of 411 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 2: shots there was literal. I think there was literally one 412 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 2: point four seconds left on which. 413 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 3: In basketball could be three days. 414 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 2: You're so right, you are right there, you are right 415 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 2: there when Patty sunk a basket to tie the game, 416 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 2: to send it to overtime, and I. 417 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: Honestly was like we're doing it. 418 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 2: We're doing Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness, I'm gonna 419 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 2: have to stay up another five minutes or. 420 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 5: He was on the floor horizontal by the time it 421 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 5: actually went through the bathroom. 422 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he was off bound. Drama, Oh so 423 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 2: much drama. But it was one of those ones that 424 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 2: if we beat Serbia, I would have to do something special. 425 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,919 Speaker 1: And we almost got there. We almost got there. Patty 426 00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: was carrying us. 427 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 2: But what I loved see so we lost to Sabbia 428 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 2: ninety five to ninety in overtime. What I love to 429 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 2: see was the emotion from Josh Giddy after the game. Yes, 430 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 2: because he was crying, so you could see just how 431 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 2: much it means to him and can I just say 432 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 2: no shade. But we don't always see that with the 433 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 2: young basketballers who hardly you know, the world at their 434 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 2: feet when it comes to representing this country. 435 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 5: Oh, we've seen a history of that, and it really 436 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 5: has been the likes of Paddi Mills and Joe Ingles, who, 437 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 5: of course they've read that we know that this is 438 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 5: going to be their last campaign. 439 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 3: It's very very unlikely that they'll. 440 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 5: Hang on for LA and they're five times that they've 441 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 5: represented the Boomers at this level and to see that 442 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 5: they've passed on that love for what it means to 443 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 5: someone like a Josh Giddy, especially when you know, you 444 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 5: think back through history and someone like Ben Simmons, who 445 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 5: we were all so excited to see potentially step up 446 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 5: and it was just not something happen that he prioritized 447 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 5: when he was on a thirty odd million dollar contract 448 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 5: in the NBA. 449 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:56,679 Speaker 3: There is that feeling of. 450 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 5: What if I get injured, But now it means so 451 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 5: much to them that you see an emotional Josh Giddy 452 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 5: and you go, mate, we'll take you twenty five points 453 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 5: in this game and we'll just roll that over. 454 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I really I did. That was what stood out 455 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: for me. 456 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 2: Ye mean, other than Patti Mills's heroics as per as per. 457 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: Other results the Stingers.

We dear listeners, 529 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 5: if you go back through the archives and type in 530 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 5: Peter Bowl. We did an episode on the story arc 531 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 5: of the fact that he was on the back page 532 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:56,199 Speaker 5: of papers around the country bring branded a cheat and 533 00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 5: was eventually exonerated.

Bring your own 562 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 5: ala high jump. But it's going to be a very 563 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 5: very long final. 564 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,439 Speaker 2: Yes, and I think remember reminder everyone, Nina Kennedy reigning 565 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 2: world jam. 566 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 1: We are very very very. 567 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 5: Likely at her last five international meets has come first. 568 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, so we're like, we're not putting them off. No, 569 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 2: but g she looks like she would never do that. 570 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 2: Matt Denny, also gold contender in the final of the 571 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,919 Speaker 2: men's discus throw. And as we've said, he's so cool, 572 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 2: his personality personified, like we hope that he can. 573 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 1: I just want to see the celebration. 574 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 5: He was spitting the discus on his finger yesterday at 575 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:51,639 Speaker 5: one points. 576 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 2: He's the cool, like he's the best. He's the one 577 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 2: that you go of all the athletes. If you put 578 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 2: him in a lineup, right, and we're taking Peter Bowl 579 00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 2: out because obviously you'd make a B line for him, 580 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 2: But if we put him in a line and we go, 581 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 2: who would you like to be friends with it's Matt 582 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 2: Denny one hundred percent, it's Mat Denny, like he would 583 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 2: win that. 584 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: So that's at four twenty five a m.

Yeah, you're so right. 589 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 2: And I've got that a rational fear that like whenever 590 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 2: the javelin's happening, that someone's just going to get skewed 591 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,719 Speaker 2: on the field. Like I know that doesn't happen at 592 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 2: these type of events, but you know when because it's 593 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 2: all happening at once, everything everywhere. 594 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 3: All that, they're pretty accurate, they are pretty accurate. I 595 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 3: think the cars are the most endangerous. But I've got 596 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 3: to remind us be the problem. 597 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: I'm not competing. 598 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 3: With Matt Wrn. 599 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 5: We mentioned that we have a guaranteed medal our favorite 600 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 5: phrase in the men's dinghy final, but it was postponed 601 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 5: due to lack of win in Marseille. We've seen that 602 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 5: be a consistent problem. So it was expected to compete 603 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 5: around nine fifteen tonight and the. 604 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 3: Opals the Oples can do what the Boomers couldn't. 605 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: George, I know they're taking on Serbia. 606 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 2: Now, the good thing is that Serbia is ranked actually 607 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 2: lower than the Oples in the world ranking, so I 608 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 2: think theyre about seven places below them. 609 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 5: If there's a coal yo kitchen a skirt, I'm gonna stuck. 610 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 3: You're not allowed to beat this to. 611 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: Play yo kitch.
