1
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 1: Welcome to The Rap, a weekly podcast about women's sports

2
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: news and the big stories. Every episode will cover what's

3
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: happened over the weekend, a favorite story, and what to

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 1: watch in the coming week. My name is Chloe Dalton.

5
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 1: I'm an Olympic gold medalist in rugby seppens and an

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: AFLW player. I'm joined by my co host, Millie Dawson.

7
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: Milli is an athlete manager who works with some of

8
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: Australia's top female athletes. Hello Melicin, Hello Chloe.

9
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 2: How has your as a long weekend been.

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: It's been lovely. Our producer Bailey is drinking a Milo

11
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: right now and I'm really jealous. I'm not. My Easter

12
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: was great. Meals we had you included a Mexican feast.

13
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: It's not really Easter themed, but it was delicious. Yeah,

14
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: it was delicious.

15
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 2: I made Klipino poppers and Chloe made delicious grilled halloomi

16
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: to go with the fish Tarkers.

17
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: So props to you.

18
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: You did almost get an oil burn at the time

19
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 2: of cooking.

20
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: It was stressful. It was like right my eye and

21
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: I thought it could have been the end. Dangerous, dangerous.

22
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: Coming up in today's episode will be joined by middle

23
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 2: distance runner Lyndon Hall, who has recently qualified for Tokyo

24
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: and become the first Australian female to run sub four

25
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 2: minutes in the fifteen hundred meter.

26
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: But first let's take a look around the grounds.

27
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: In soccer, FIFA has announced the nine host cities for

28
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: the World Cup to take place in Australia and New

29
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: Zealand from the tenth of July to the twentieth of

30
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 2: August in twenty twenty three. The Football Australia President has

31
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: claimed that the FIFA World Cup will be the biggest

32
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: sporting event on Australian soil since the Sydney two thousand Olympics.

33
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 1: So the final is going to be held at Sydney's

34
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: Stadium Australia. I've looked it up and it's got a

35
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: capacity of eighty three thousand, five hundred people. We can't

36
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: break the cricketers record, but I reckon people should block

37
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: their calendars out so we can try and fill that

38
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: stadium absolutely. In rally car driving, Australian Molly Taylor has

39
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: claimed victory in the inaugural race of the Extreme E

40
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: off road Racing Series in Saudi Arabia. Taylor, who was.

41
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: The first ever a female winner of the Australian Rally

42
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 2: Championships race. Alongside Swedish three time World rally Cross champion

43
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 2: Johann Christofferson. They finished twenty three seconds clear of the

44
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: Andretti United team in the final two lap race around

45
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: the Desert course.

46
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: If you haven't watched it before, it's sick. I was

47
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: watching some videos on YouTube and you can check out

48
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: Molly's in sta At Molly Underscore Rally.

49
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: In tennis, Ash Barty has won the Miami Open, taking

50
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 2: out the final against Canadian Bianca Andrescue. This is her

51
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 2: second consecutive win in Miami, after taking out the event

52
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen. This win will hold Barty in the

53
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: number one spot after taking out the one thousand ranking

54
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 2: points that come along with winning a WTA Premier mandatory event.

55
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of controversy I guess around Ash

56
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: holding onto that number one spot because she didn't play

57
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: a lot of tennis during the COVID nineteen pandemic. I

58
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: think that she's held the number one spot for the

59
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: last seventy weeks despite not playing any international games last year.

60
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: But this has probably been a big statement in rejecting

61
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: that criticism and I know Ash since then has come

62
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: out and said that she's earned it, She's proved it

63
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: with the work that her and her team have done.

64
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: And if you look at number two Naomi Osaka, she

65
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: had a chance to actually take that number one ranking

66
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: in Miami, but she crashed out in the semifinals.

67
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: In cricket, the Australian women have won the first of

68
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 2: three One Day Internationals against New Zealand by six wicket.

69
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 2: Australia now has a winning streak of twenty two, overtaking

70
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: Ricky Ponting's two thousand and three men side for the

71
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: longest run of victories in any form of international cricket.

72
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: A couple of half centuries from Elisa Healy, who had

73
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: sixty five and Elise Perry with fifty six were integral

74
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: in the win, while Meghan Shoot took four wickets off

75
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: thirty two balls and Nicola Kerrey three wickets from thirty

76
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: four as Australia restricted New Zealand to two hundred and

77
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: twelve all app.

78
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: In netball, reigning champs the Melbourne Vixens have been dealt

79
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: a massive blow after co captain Liz Watson was forced

80
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: to undergo a he's an ending surgery on her foot.

81
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: This is a really big loss. Liz is obviously a

82
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: really big part of that Melbourne Vixen's team who won

83
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: last year, but also was a captain of the Australian

84
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: team when they took on New Zealand last month. Over

85
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: in New Zealand, she's been managing a long standing injury

86
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: in her foot for the duration of her career, so

87
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: wishing her the best of luck with her recovery.

88
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 2: In CrossFit, Tia Claire Toomey, by no surprise, has taken

89
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 2: out the number one spot worldwide in the CrossFit Open,

90
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 2: which has taken place over the last three weeks. Carra

91
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 2: Saunders has also finished in third place. Athletes will begin

92
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 2: the quarterfinal round this weekend.

93
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: Go the Aussies and finally, in sailing, West Australians Nina

94
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: Durwood and Monique Devrees have qualified for Tokyo in the

95
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: four seventy pairs. Yes, girls, let's take a look at

96
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: the key story.

97
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 2: In hockey, Katrina Powell has been appointed as the Hockey

98
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 2: Ruse first female head coach since Colleen Quinn in nineteen

99
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: seventy eight. Powell is a double Olympic gold medalist as

100
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 2: a men member of the iconic Atlanta nineteen ninety six

101
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 2: and Sydney two thousand teams, she scored one hundred and

102
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: forty one goals in two hundred and fifty two appearances

103
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: for Australia before moving into coaching in two thousand and five.

104
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 1: She's got her work cut out for It's only a

105
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: few months until the Tokyo twenty twenty well twenty twenty

106
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: one Olympic Games. I think about less than four months

107
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: time to go now before it kicks off on July

108
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: the twenty third. She's taking over from previous coach Paul Gadoin,

109
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: who resigned earlier this month, along with a lot of

110
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: other Hockey Australia employees. After there's been a lot of

111
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,239
Speaker 1: complaints within the squad from current and past players who've

112
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: talked a lot about the culture that there's been bullying,

113
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 1: body shaming and overall quite a toxic culture.

114
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 2: There was actually an independent inquiry into these allegations of

115
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 2: toxic culture within the women's hockey team, which was launched

116
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: by the governing body in December last year.

117
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: I think it's some pretty concerning allegations that have come

118
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: out of it. It's obviously taken a of courage for

119
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: those girls to come forward and to say something like that,

120
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: particularly when selection is on the line for a lot

121
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: of those girls. But really hoping that Hockey Australia, the

122
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: people at the top are going to put the right

123
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: things in place and having a new coach is hopefully

124
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: a step in the right direction to change some of

125
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: that culture that's unfortunately shaped that program. Yeah.

126
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,679
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and I think ultimately culture will affect the outcome

127
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 2: of how these girls are playing. If they're not in

128
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: a good headspace and the culture of the team is

129
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 2: not up to a good standard, that can definitely impact

130
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 2: how they're playing. So hopefully this fresh start with Katrina

131
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 2: Power will be a step in the right direction, especially

132
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: leading into Tokyo.

133
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: Now it's time for the presser.

134
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: Victorian middle distance runner Lynden Hall has become the first

135
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: Australian female to run sub four minutes in the fifteen

136
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 2: hundred meter, clocking three fifty nine sixty seven to reclaim

137
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 2: the Australian record at the baux Field Classic over the weekend.

138
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: We've got Linden on the line with us Now, Linden,

139
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: congratulations on such an incredible run to feel crossing the

140
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: line and then realizing that you'd gone sub for.

141
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 3: Oh, thank you so much.

142
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a little bit surreal because the clock

143
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 4: didn't actually stop, so I had to wait for, you know,

144
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 4: the announcer to actually read it out. And I was like, oh,

145
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 4: I'm fairly sure it was fifty nine, but you know,

146
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 4: I've been tricked by a clock before, so I was

147
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 4: kind of bracing myself and yeah, kind of the other

148
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 4: girls all sort of came over when they announced it,

149
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 4: and it was really cool to have all the other

150
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 4: Australian girls around and to celebrate with them and with Ellie,

151
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 4: who was the pacemaker, which obviously just was absolutely crucial

152
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 4: in setting up the race to be as fast as

153
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 4: it was. Yeah, I didn't really know what to do

154
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 4: with myself though. I was like, should I cry?

155
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 3: Should I Like, I just didn't know.

156
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 4: I just kept moving my hands everywhere, like, oh what

157
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 4: I do now?

158
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

159
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 3: I think some people were just like, just just come

160
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 3: and have a hut, come hug.

161
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: That's always good. So you mentioned that you're Ellie for

162
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: the first eight hundred meters, and then you ran the

163
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: last seven hundred meters on your own. Was that part

164
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: of the plan heading into the race, And did you

165
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: start to get a feeling that you were running a

166
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: pretty quick time when you were getting closer to the

167
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: finish line.

168
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I guess the real aim of running the

169
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 4: race was trying to run under four minutes because the

170
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 4: other weather was perfect and we were able to have

171
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 4: your Ellie pacers through the first eight hundred, but kind

172
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 4: of Yeah, was very much prepared for the last seven

173
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 4: hundred to kind of be on my own, so you know,

174
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 4: definitely thought about how that was going to play out

175
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 4: and had some strategies, you know, to make sure I

176
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 4: stayed on task and didn't get distracted or you know,

177
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 4: stayed focused, I guess. And the box Fill meet was

178
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 4: great because they let everyone just onto the track, so

179
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 4: down the back straight everyone was sort of up to

180
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 4: the lane three and four just it was like just

181
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 4: a tunnel of noise down the back straight, which is

182
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 4: probably like the main reason I got there because yeah,

183
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 4: I pretty much ran exactly what I had to do

184
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 4: on that line laugh, which was Yeah, a bit of

185
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 4: a tough ask.

186
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 3: I think. When I saw the clock with four hundred

187
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 3: to go, I was like, oh, it could happen.

188
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 4: I guess, and then yeah, that backstraight just really got

189
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 4: me home.

190
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: I think that's really cool. You've already qualified for both

191
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: the eight hundred and fifteen hundred in Tokyo. Does the

192
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: schedule allow you to compete in both events?

193
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 3: Sadly, no, you almost could.

194
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 4: If you were prepared to not do that, not you know,

195
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 4: make a final in the eight hundred, then you could

196
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 4: do it. You might just be a bit tired for

197
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 4: the fifteen hundred, but I mean, obviously making an eight

198
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 4: hundred final would be a really, really tall ask for me.

199
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 4: But I just don't think I could line up, you know,

200
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,599
Speaker 4: kind of already selling myself short in that sense of

201
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 4: being like, oh, I'm not trying to make the final here,

202
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 4: I'm just here for a good time. I sort of, yeah,

203
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 4: I don't really feel like I could do that, and

204
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 4: I'd rather just kind of go all in on the

205
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 4: fifteen hundred and do one thing properly.

206
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: I guess, Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. What

207
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: is it week look like for you? Are you able

208
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: to train full time or do you have to balance

209
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: both work and training.

210
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 4: At the moment, I'm just pretty much training full time,

211
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 4: which is really really lucky. I guess it's you know,

212
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 4: it means I can get everything done and you know,

213
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 4: recover enough and all of those important things. So yeah,

214
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 4: probably a really lucky position to be well supported to

215
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 4: be able to do that at the moment.

216
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: What does preparation look like now for the next few

217
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: months leading up to Tokyo. It's actually not far away

218
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: at all.

219
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 3: No, it's actually scary close.

220
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 4: I sort of still feel like it's February.

221
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 1: Yeah.

222
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, So we've got our nationals in like ten days

223
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 4: or something up in Sydney, so that'll sort of be

224
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 4: the official selection trials for the Olympics for US, and

225
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 4: then that'll sort of be the I guess, the end

226
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 4: of the real domestic season.

227
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 3: And there's a couple of races.

228
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 4: We've got a race around the ten the following week

229
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 4: and a three k over at box.

230
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 3: Hill, and then after that we're kind of almost sort of.

231
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 4: Restart our training and kind of go back to the

232
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 4: beginning and get ready to go again in July.

233
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: It's really exciting. What's the goal when you get over

234
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: to Tokyo.

235
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 4: Well, I missed the final in Rio by one spot

236
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 4: and like zero point. I think it was two three

237
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 4: of a second or something, so like that's pretty much

238
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 4: been haunting me for five years. So I think, like, yeah,

239
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 4: my first goal is really just to make that final

240
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 4: and be in that top twelve, and then you know,

241
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 4: the fifteen hundred is such a tactical championship event that

242
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 4: you know, if you get through the rounds and make

243
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 4: it into the final and you're not completely cooked, you know,

244
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 4: you're kind of in with a shot if you know

245
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 4: how to run smart and you know, and really prepare.

246
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 4: So I guess we're preparing not just from a you know,

247
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 4: physical training perspective, but you know, also starting to think

248
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 4: about tactically how racist might go and making sure we're

249
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 4: ready for every scenario that could play out.

250
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: Congratulations on such an incredible run and can't wait to

251
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,920

253
