Speaker 2: I wear glasses and everything perfect perfect taking a look

9

10
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: sporting events and pre season netball in Melbourne.

11

12
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: teams twenty four million dollar equal pay settlement.

13
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 2: And in the ice Bath with Budgie Smuggler, we chat

22
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,199
Speaker 1: the link in the show notes for that one.

23
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 3: Let's take a look around the grounds.

24
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 2: In NRLW Round one, Triple Headed kicked off at McDonald

25
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: Jones Stadium in Newcastle on Sunday and it had a

26
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 2: bit of everything. Defending champs of Brisbane Broncos were dominant

27
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 2: in their twenty to four win against the Roosters. While

28
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 2: the Broncos displayed what genuine class I have all over

29
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 2: the park, the Roosters really didn't help themselves with their

30
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: number of errors. They recorded a completion rate of just

31
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 2: seven from their first seventeen sets. There was some history

32
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 2: made in the Paramount Eels and New Carstle Knights match.

33
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: The two newly introduced sides played a tight game of

34
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: footy to start their NLW journey and they were all

35
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 2: locked up with three minutes to go. Paramount halfback Mattie

36
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: Stutton took control and steered a team up the field,

37
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 2: getting in the perfect position to slop the first ever

38
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: an ERLW field goal and deliver the Eels a thirteen

39
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: twelve victory.

40
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: I hadn't realized it was the first cost ever. It

41
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: was clutch too, yeah, that's great, YEP.

42
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: In the other match of Round Oneers and Georgia Lawd

43
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: Dragon's open their season with a win down in Newcomers

44
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 2: the Gold Coast twenty to twelve.

45
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: In basketball, it's been a tough first half of the

46
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: season for all WNBL teams, with the league impacted heavily

47
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: by COVID nineteen. We've seen sixteen games either postponed and

48
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: rescheduled or canceled all together with further complications from the

49
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: WA border closure, which we know has impacted a whole

50
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: range of sports across the country. So the Perth Links

51
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: had to stay in Victoria until they until they were

52
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: recently able to return home. As a result, to the

53
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: season structure has been amended. Each team will now play

54
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: eighteen games, which includes nine home games, down from the

55
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: originally scheduled twenty one, and the regular season will now

56
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: conclude on March sixteenth. The finals series we'll tip off

57
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: on March nineteenth and will no doubt showcase the best

58
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,119
Speaker 1: the league has to offer. In some good news, both

59
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: the semi finals and Grand Final will be played as

60
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: a three game series. Despite the impact of COVID nineteen

61
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: the season today, it has been sensational. I think the

62
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: quality of the imports has been very impressive and the

63
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: competitiveness across the league has been outstanding. You can see

64
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: how tight the comp has been when you look at

65
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: the top of the ladder two the top four teams

66
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: couldn't be closer, and it's looking like the title could

67
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,839
Speaker 1: go to anyone at this point as it stands. Interestingly,

68
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: Perth Link sitting on top, which kind of says something

69
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: about the fact that they've been in a hub. Maybe

70
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: it's worked well in their favor.

71
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: Absolutely, there's a ton of negatives about being away from home,

72
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: but there are some positives. You do get to spend

73
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: all that time as a team working on your strengths

74
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 2: and weaknesses for sure.

75
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.

76
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: Even with the Freemantle AFLW team, the coach talked about

77
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: the fact that they almost became full time athletes when

78
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: they were in their Melbourne hub, so it kind of

79
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: removes a lot of distractions for athletes who aren't already

80
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: full time. They're said to host the last placed Sydney

81
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: uniflames at home on March fifth, after Western Australia's announcement

82
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: that borders will open on March third. It'll be the

83
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: first home match for the Links since January twenty twenty wow,

84
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: so hopefully they get a good crowd down there for

85
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: people to support their team.

86
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: A little bit more serious here, so a bit of

87
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 2: winter sport and some politics. Not something we normally delve into,

88
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 2: but probably something that we need to discuss because sport

89
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: does and can have an impact in that space sometimes.

90
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 2: Australian aerial scared Danielle Scott has tweeted that she will

91
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 2: leave Russia and not compete in the World Cup final

92
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 2: that was due to be held in the country after

93
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: Russia made the frightening decision to invade the Ukane last week. Scott,

94
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: who has come off the back of what she described

95
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 2: as a disappointing Olympics in Beijing, tweeted decision has been

96
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,119
Speaker 2: made to leave Russia and not compete in the final

97
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: World Cups. I can't believe this is happening in the

98
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: uniquely unifying power sport. I wish so badly for this

99
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 2: situation to be different. Sporting organizations around the world are

100
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 2: announcing they'll be boycotting events in Russia, with UA for

101
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: headlining the movement when they declared the Champions League final

102
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: would be stripped from Saint Petersburg. In addition to that announcement,

103
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 2: Formula one confirmed they've pulled their race from Russia, saying

104
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 2: it would be impossible to hold the race in Sochi

105
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 2: under the current circumstances that Russia and Grand Prix had

106
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 2: been scheduled for September twenty fifth. The IOC SO the

107
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 2: IIC has an Olympic Truce, basically where during the Olympics,

108
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: the world is meant to be at peace to allow

109
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: secure safe passage for athletes during the games so and

110
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 2: also promote the idea of working toward world peace. It

111
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 2: runs until the end of the Paralympics, which open in

112
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: Beijing on March fourth. The International Paralympic Committee condemned Russia

113
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 2: and said it held talks with sports officials in Ukraine

114
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 2: to secure safe passage for its athletes. Russia's name, flag

115
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 2: and anthem were already barred from the March four to

116
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 2: thirteen Paralympics in Beijing over previous doping disputes. Its team

117
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: is due to compete as RPC, which is short for

118
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 2: the Russian Paralympic Committee.

119
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: Looking at the Winter Paralympics, this is really exciting So

120
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two Paralympic Winter Game start this Friday,

121
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: March the fourth, and the Aussie team will feature ten athletes,

122
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: including two competitors heading to their fourth Games. One of

123
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: those is Pyeongchang twenty eighteen dual bronze medalist Melissa Parene.

124
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: Parene competes in para alpine skiing and along with her

125
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: sighted guide Bobby Kelly, she'll be looking to improve on

126
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: the bronze medals from twenty eighteen. Last week, she was

127
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: named as the co captain of the team, alongside world

128
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: number one para snowboarder Ben Tudhope. Melissa was competing in

129
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: Austria when she received the call and was shocked and

130
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 1: honored by the appointment, saying it's a massive honor. I

131
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: never expected my career to go this high or this far,

132
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: so this is insane. It's a great team to be

133
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: a part of and I've been a part of it

134
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: for so many years. Really looking forward to watching this

135
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: kickoff and as always, will have you covered on our

136
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: Instagram at the Female fa Sleet project with schedule, results, medals, highlights,

137
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: all the good stuff.

138
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 2: Can't wait to watch all right, Netball, so preseason Netball

139
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 2: to centded on Melbourne for the sun Corp Team Girls

140
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 2: Cup over the weekend. The comp was marked as marketed

141
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: as an intense round robin format with shorter ten minute quarters.

142
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 2: The Melbourne Vixens sent a message to the rest of

143
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 2: super Netball, claiming the preseason Team Girls Cup over the

144
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: West Coast Fever. Coming off a poor twenty twenty one

145
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 2: season which saw the Vixens win just two of fourteen

146
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: matches and finished last, the Vixens claimed victory in a

147
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: thrilling final, holding off the Fever forty five to forty three.

148
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 2: The grand final win was the icing on the cake

149
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 2: of an impressive preseason tournament which saw Melbourne defeat the

150
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 2: Sunshine Coast Lightning, Queensland Firebirds and reigning champions the Nissophar Swifts.

151
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 2: Dixon's co captain Kate Maloney was named player of the

152
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 2: match and the regular season will commenced lad this month

153
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 2: on the twenty sixth of March.

154
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: In AFLW, the Saints have won their first match of

155
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: the season and in the process put a bit of

156
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: a dent in the Gold Coast Suns finals hopes. Last week,

157
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: the Saints I'm not going to say we didn't roll them.

158
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: It was a very stressful close game where Catherine Smith

159
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: from the Giants kicked an exceptional clutch ice cold in

160
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: the veins goal after the siren to win the game.

161
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: Tillie Lucas Rod for Sint Kilda against the Suns was

162
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: in the thick of it all once again with twenty

163
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: one touches to her name in a very dominant performance.

164
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: The Saints were holding their breath when Sons forward Sarah

165
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: Perkins lined up a shot that she would normally drain

166
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: with minimal time left on the clock, but unfortunately for Perkins,

167
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: she missed her chance and the Saints held on for

168
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: a three point victory at the.

169
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 3: End of the day.

170
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: In Sunday's second match, the Brisbane Lions were outstanding. They

171
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: kicked the highest score and biggest win in AFLW history

172
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: when they thrashed West Coast by seventy four points. The

173
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: Lions fell just short of the century in the ruthless performance,

174
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: holding the home side scoreless in the first en route

175
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: to a fifteen goal eight ninety eight to four goal

176
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: zero twenty four victory, and in a Sunday full of

177
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: history making moments, Darcy Seo kicked their fiftieth goal in AFLW,

178
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: becoming the first player to reach that milestone. Dars was instrumental,

179
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: unfortunately for me and my giants in Carlton's fifty one

180
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: to thirty two victory over GWS, hitting two goals and

181
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: two behinds and in the process etched their name in

182
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: the record books. Congratulations Darcy, also Ty Fat graphic designer,

183
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: Very proud of you and stoke for your achievement. Let's

184
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: take a look at the key story.

185
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 2: So in soccer. Last week, the US women's national soccer

186
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 2: team reached a US twenty four million dollar settlement with

187
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 2: US Soccer on a gender discrimination lawsuit they filed in

188
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 2: March twenty nineteen. The US WNT accused the National Federation

189
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 2: of paying lower salaries to women and subjecting them to

190
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 2: more dangerous play conditions and their male counterparts, and sought

191
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 2: nearly US sixty seven million in back paying compensation.

192
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 3: The lawsuits thrust.

193
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 2: Them to the forefront of a broader fight for equality

194
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 2: and women's sport, and gain support from fellow athletes, celebrities, politicians,

195
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 2: and even presidential candidates in the United States and across

196
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 2: the world. It's been a tumultuous journey for the plays

197
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 2: at the center of this lawsuit, and the resilience and

198
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 2: determination shown by those involved should be applauded.

199
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: We've got a bit of a brief history of the

200
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: journey to get to this settlement, going back to March

201
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen.

202
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 3: This is making me.

203
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: Picture in school, did you do that with like the

204
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: a three piece of cardboard and you had to do

205
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: the timeline and like have the scale and workout and

206
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: then you'd go.

207
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 3: Up and plot the points.

208
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 1: So if you're listening, just try and picture this as

209
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: I speak along on your a three piece of cardboard.

210
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 2: Are we going to have like speech bubbles in it

211
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 2: as well?

212
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 3: Yes?

213
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And you're going to stick some cutouts on it? Yes,

214
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 2: always as a glostick out.

215
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: March twenty nineteen, the lawsuit was filed by the us

216
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: WNT against the sports governing July twenty nineteen, USA wins

217
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: their fourth World Cup and second in a row when

218
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: they defeat the Netherlands two nil in the final. The

219
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: match was sold out and played in front of fifty

220
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: seven thousand spectators as at France's Starred de Leon. The

221
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: final was the most watched Women's World Cup final with

222
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: an average live audience of eighty two million people, a

223
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: dramatic fifty six percent increase over the fifty two million

224
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: who watched the USWNT beat Japan four years prior. The

225
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: final was punctuated by chance from the crowd of equal pay,

226
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: Equal pay during the team's victory celebration. Fast forward March

227
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. If you're trying to work out your timeline,

228
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: this is about COVID ruining the world. March twenty twenty,

229
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: the US Soccer President Carlos Cadero is called out for

230
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: his court filing that argued players for the women's national

231
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: team have less skill than their male counterparts. He not

232
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: surprisingly was signed shortly after, but has communicated that he

233
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: is keen to return to his position in the near future.

234
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: May twenty, the national team suffer a setback when the

235
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: US District judge Gary Klausner rejects the notion that US

236
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: women's players have been underpaid relative to the men. However,

237
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,599
Speaker 1: the court does rule that the player's additional claims of

238
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: unequal treatment in terms of travel, medical staff, and training

239
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: equipment can proceed. In rejecting the equal pay portion of

240
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: the lawsuit, the judge noted that the US women had

241
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: agreed to a different pay structure than the men in

242
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: their previous collective bargaining agreement. Days after the decision from

243
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: this judge, presidential candidate Joe Biden now current President. Biden

244
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: promised to cut funding for the twenty twenty six Men's

245
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: World Cup in the United States unless US Soccer agreed

246
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: to provide the national team with equal pay. Imagine if

247
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: Scomo came out and did the same thing in Australia.

248
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 2: Look, we already discussed some politics in this podcast. I'm

249
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 2: not sure anyone needs to hear skip, couldn't It's a

250
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 2: whole another branch of brand from me, branch of brand. Great, excellent. Okay,

251
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 2: So things went quite for a while. We skipped right

252
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 2: forward on your timeline to third this year. So opening

253
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 2: arguments in the appeal were set for March seventh, So

254
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 2: obviously everything started to be put into motion, and then

255
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: feb twenty second, the US WNT and the US Soccer

256
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 2: reached a US twenty four million dollar settlement. Importantly, the

257
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 2: settlement also agrees to pay them men and women at

258
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 2: an equal rate moving forward, which I think is probably

259
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 2: very key in this situation. The agreement includes US twenty

260
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 2: two million for the twenty eight players who filed the lawsuit.

261
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 2: It establishes a US two million dollar charitable fund for

262
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 2: women and girls soccer. There were plenty who felt the

263
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 2: settlement was an unexpected victory for the players. US Soccer

264
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 2: was under no obligation to settle, given a federal judge

265
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 2: had dismissed the player's equal pay arguments, effectively stripping them

266
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 2: of nearly all of their legal leverage. But the battle

267
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 2: was not just an expensive end to the conflict, an

268
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 2: attempt to begin to heal the game in the country

269
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 2: after a period that had battered US Soccer's reputation, damaged

270
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 2: its ties with sponsors, and sowed its relationship with some

271
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 2: of its most popular stars, including Alex Morgan, Meghan Rappino,

272
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 2: and Parley Lloyd. The compensation is just reward for the

273
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 2: women that stood up for what they knew was right,

274
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 2: and it's a great sign that the flight will have

275
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 2: lasting impact given US Soccer's pledge to equalize pay between

276
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: the men's and women's national teams in all competitions, including

277
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 2: the World Cup. In the team's next CBA, the closing

278
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 2: of that gap should guarantee millions of dollars to a

279
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 2: new generation of US women's footballers.

280
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: The interesting part of this is there's still a bit

281
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: of a contingency, so it relies on the ratification of

282
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: a new contract between the US Soccer and the Players'

283
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: Union for the women's team. So the men's and women's

284
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: teams have already held joint negotiating so sessions with US Soccer,

285
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: and the federation is seeking a single collective bargaining agreement

286
00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: that covers both teams. So to make this a reality,

287
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: the men's players are going to have to agree to

288
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: share millions of dollars in potential World Cup payments from FIFA,

289
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: the World soccers governing body. FIFA sets the World Cup payments,

290
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: and as we know, they're exponentially larger already for the

291
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: men's World Cup than the corresponding women's tournament.

292
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 2: The US Soccer president Cindy Palo Cone, she's formers WNT player,

293
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 2: said in September that the federation would not sign new

294
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 2: collective bargain agreements with either team that did not equalize

295
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 2: World Cup prize moneys. This was before the settlement came down.

296
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 2: The position she and the federation cemented in Tuesday's agreement.

297
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,479
Speaker 2: In an interview after the ruling, she called out FIFA,

298
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 2: saying moving forward and tying this settlement with the CBA

299
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 2: is important for both groups because we all believe in

300
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 2: equal pay and the only way we can get there

301
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 2: until FIFA equalizes the World Cup prize money is for

302
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 2: the men's team, the women's team, and US Soccer to

303
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 2: get together and reach an agreement on equalizing it ourselves.

304
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 3: It's a pretty complex one, isn't it.

305
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 2: There's just such a huge difference in that those World

306
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 2: Cup payments that the men will genuinely have to agree

307
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: to park some of that and end or share it

308
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 2: or I'm not sure what the US Soccer are going

309
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 2: to do with it, but they will genuinely have to

310
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 2: forfeit money that they've they've previously received.

311
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: The one thing I do want to point out to

312
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: wrap up this story is that it was on the

313
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: twenty second of the second twenty twenty two and the

314
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: player component of the settlement was twenty two million dollars.

315
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 3: Has anyone noticed that yet? Yep?

316
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 2: Into the twilight so.

317
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 3: Oh, sports exhausting sometimes?

318
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 2: What is exhausting? So clone needs an ice bath and

319
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 2: she's going to step into one.

320
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 3: Now It's time for the Fudgy Smuggler Ice Bath.

321
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 2: This week in the Ice Bath with Budgie Smuggler, WHI

322
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 2: chat to Paralyn pic Summer Monique Murphy about her story

323
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 2: and also in Demetriosis Awareness Month, which is this March.

324
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 2: Clo caught up with mine earlier this week.

325
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: Min thanks so much for joining us on the wrap.

326
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: To kick us off, can you tell us how you

327
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: first got into swimming.

328
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 4: Well, that's going back quite a long way.

329
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 5: I would have been about six when I joined my

330
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 5: first SIM club.

331
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 4: Had terrible asthma.

332
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 5: And my parents thought, hey, this is going to help,

333
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 5: and unfortunately I spent the next yeah, twenty years of

334
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 5: my life coughing ridiculously through the night. I guess it

335
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 5: could have been a lot worse, but Yale was always

336
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 5: from a hopefully a management side of you with the asthma,

337
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 5: and I had a horrible fear of water, so if

338
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 5: you gured it I would swim, then at least I

339
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 5: wouldn't been out in the water too long feeling scared.

340
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 3: Wow, so it seemed to have worked quite well.

341
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is.

342
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 3: It's a good encouragement for young kids.

343
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 1: I'd say, in twenty sixteen, you got to represent Australia

344
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: at the Paralympics and you want a silver medal in

345
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: the four hundred meter freestyle S ten, how is it?

346
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: It's for you representing your country and getting to put

347
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 1: that metal around your neck.

348
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 4: Paralympics for me was both equally.

349
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 5: Incredible but also incredibly challenging because growing up as a swimmer,

350
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 5: I was an ablebod gid and it was in twenty

351
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 5: fourteen that I had an accident where I lost my

352
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 5: leg below the knee. So growing up I always wanted

353
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 5: to be an Olympian. I just wanted to It's a

354
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 5: classic story. I wanted to represent my country. I wanted

355
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 5: to be the best that I could be. I wanted

356
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 5: to be on that stage where I was watching all

357
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 5: of the current Australian swim team dolphins racing.

358
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 4: So when I got to.

359
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 5: The Paralympics, it was I was living out a childhood

360
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 5: dream and that was surreal and incredible and it sort

361
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 5: of leaves you speechless. I remember standing there in the

362
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 5: village just going I can't believe this is that It's

363
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 5: come true. But then there's this whole other side, the

364
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 5: other half of the scales where it's come true through

365
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 5: because I had this horrific trauma.

366
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 4: Where I had this accident where it.

367
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 5: Almost cost me my life, and I had to handle

368
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 5: both emotions. I couldn't be excited and proud of one

369
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 5: thing without acknowledging how I'd actually got there, and getting

370
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 5: there had been traumatic. So that's what I found the

371
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 5: most challenging. And I think I worked with this like

372
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 5: the whole time, that the reality of, like you can

373
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 5: always feel more than one emotion, but to hold two

374
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 5: such heavy emotions while you're going into race at your

375
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 5: first games, Yeah, it was.

376
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 4: It was a lot.

377
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 1: That's actually quite a powerful thing, this idea of being

378
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,719
Speaker 1: able to hold two emotions, because I think a lot

379
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: of the time we think that you achieve a certain thing,

380
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: or you reach a certain level, and you're meant to

381
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 1: just feel one thing. I think that's actually a really

382
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: powerful lesson, right, that you can actually have conflicting emotions

383
00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: at the same time.

384
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 5: And I think, you know, a common example for a

385
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 5: lot of athletes would be maybe winning the medal that

386
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 5: you wanted, but maybe you didn't be the time or

387
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 5: the performance that you wanted, and that actually happened for me.

388
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 5: I was incredibly focused on just doing my best, staying

389
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 5: in control of what I could control of I didn't.

390
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 5: I was going in as a metal chance, and I

391
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 5: didn't want to be obsessed like the media tends to

392
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 5: be about go for gold, go for gold, because I'm thinking.

393
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 6: The fact that I'm still alive is my gold medal,

394
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 6: and if I don't win gold, that's I don't want

395
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 6: that to be suddenly that I failed in some way.

396
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 5: So I was so focused on just doing a PV.

397
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 5: And then in the end, I got the silver medal,

398
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 5: but I didn't get the PB.

399
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,360
Speaker 4: And my first.

400
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 5: Reaction I saw the number two up on the screen

401
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 5: and I was just gold snap. Any air that I

402
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 5: had left in my body just was like straight out,

403
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 5: oh my God. And then I saw the time and

404
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 5: I was so disappointed because it didn't match with the

405
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 5: energy or the effort that I put into the race.

406
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 4: And it took a little while to.

407
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 5: Sort of figure out that this was day eight of competition.

408
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 4: I'd already done five races.

409
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 5: The only person who did a PV and that race

410
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 5: was the winner, and it was like no, I just

411
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 5: held on. I did the best on the day that

412
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 5: I could do, and it wasn't disappointment at all. It

413
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 5: was a success. But again, you can still achieve what

414
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 5: you want winning a medal and have those like oh

415
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,479
Speaker 5: but I'm still not perfectly happy.

416
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I really like that. I think it's a

417
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: really really important learning curve. I think for people to

418
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: go through. March is Enometriosis Awareness Month, and that's something

419
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 1: that you've been impacted by. When was it for you

420
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: that you first started to notice that something wasn't right.

421
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 5: It's interesting my journey to get a diagnosis took fourteen doctors,

422
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 5: a lot of them on sports teams, which I think

423
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 5: says a lot about how we need to be addressing

424
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 5: the issue of women's.

425
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 4: Health in sport.

426
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 5: And when I finally saw my gynecologist, now Graham Trunk,

427
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 5: he asked me what my periods were like before my accident,

428
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 5: and I said, oh, you.

429
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 4: Know, yeah, I remember I had quite a bit of pain.

430
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 5: I remember having to go to the pharmacy to get

431
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 5: something stronger than pan at all.

432
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 4: But you know, I never missed training. I never I

433
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 4: always got through things.

434
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 5: And he looked at me and he just said, I

435
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 5: know what you swimmers put up with and.

436
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 4: It just hit me. Firstly, that's the first time I

437
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 4: think I had.

438
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 5: Any validation when it came to the pain I was

439
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 5: having with my period, but also that it made me

440
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,239
Speaker 5: look back and go, no, I was in pain, and

441
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 5: just because I pushed through it doesn't mean my pain

442
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 5: was any less. And maybe this has been a issue

443
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 5: that's been around for a lot longer. We just haven't

444
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 5: been taught to notice period pain. We've always been told

445
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 5: that comes with the territory and you live with the

446
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 5: uterus and bum fact pain is not normal and it

447
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 5: means that we need to be listening to our body

448
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 5: doing something about it. So yeah, there were signs early on,

449
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 5: but in particular when I had my accident twenty fourteen

450
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 5: and I fell from a fifth floor balcony and I

451
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 5: had no memory of the accident, and they believe my

452
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 5: drink was spiked, but it was when I was in

453
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 5: hospital after that I wasn't getting a period. Your body

454
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 5: does this amazing thing where it shuts down any sort

455
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 5: of process it doesn't need, and at that point in

456
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 5: my life, my body's like, we're not going to.

457
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 4: Be making babies, so we'll just cut out.

458
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 5: The periods, but I did think that something wasn't quite right,

459
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 5: and I remember asking the doctors for an internal ultra

460
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 5: sound because I think I was half perplexed that I

461
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 5: managed to survive, you know, twenty meters four and only

462
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 5: lose my leg, and I felt something else had.

463
00:23:59,280 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 4: To be wrong.

464
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 5: And over the next few years, I didn't have a

465
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 5: period for about two years, so it wasn't for another

466
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 5: two years till I got diagnosed, and I spent a

467
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 5: lot of.

468
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 4: Twenty seventeen.

469
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 5: Having no idea how I could go from a silver

470
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 5: medal to suddenly hardly be out of finish training and

471
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 5: I was getting really a regular periods. My coach at

472
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 5: the time, I didn't stay there very long. He would

473
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 5: often come over to me and I'd be struggling in

474
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 5: a session.

475
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 4: He'd be like, are you even a swim? What are

476
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 4: you even doing?

477
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 5: And one time I just snapped and I said, I'm

478
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 5: on my first period in like two years, and I

479
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 5: just went, oh, okay and ran away, which was a

480
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 5: bit funny but also just not how we should be

481
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 5: approaching those conversations with Atlee.

482
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, on that there's obviously a big gap, and part

483
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: of your experience around this balance of male coaches first

484
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: female coaches, and to be something where male coaches can't

485
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: be involved with female athletes who have diagnosises like these

486
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: diagnoses should?

487
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 3: I say? But there needs to.

488
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: Be a lot more education and awareness around this issue

489
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: and how to manage it.

490
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know we I A'm an ambassador for Quendo,

491
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 5: which is a national charity for people with endometriosis, adnmosis,

492
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 5: politics ovary syndromes. They cover a whole realm and I

493
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 5: suggest anyone has any thoughts or questions, Quendo is a

494
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 5: really great resource to look into. And we have developed

495
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 5: a training to go out to coaches, and we developed

496
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 5: it with coaches in mind. How can we, as female

497
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 5: athletes educate them to understand where we're coming from. On

498
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 5: one hand, we need to be educating these athletes, but

499
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 5: on the other hand, we need to be changing the

500
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 5: culture because talking about periods is still something that we

501
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,360
Speaker 5: should only do in the girls change rooms, and it's

502
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 5: not They don't treat it as a valid form of

503
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 5: pain when there is something not quite right, and it's

504
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 5: frustrating when you see athletes with a bad shoulder or

505
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 5: a bad me and straightaway we adapt the training, but

506
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 5: when it's your period, go deal with it.

507
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it's such an important message and such

508
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 1: great work that you're doing in that space around the

509
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: education and an awareness piece, and I'll make sure that

00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,879
