6
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 1: I don't know a good sense of competitiveness, but it

7
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,600

24
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 3: You'll add that one to your website, Yana.

25
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, they haven't heard that one before.

26
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 3: First up, now, Yana, I want to paint a picture

27
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 3: for everyone. December last year, you have your fourth child,

28
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 3: and then I assume this was only three four months

29
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 3: later you decided it's a good idea to take on

30
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 3: the most grueling reality TV show on this planet. What

31
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 3: the hell was going through your head?

32
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, not much clearly, but it was five months basically

33
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 4: five months, three months, but yeah, no, look it was

34
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 4: It was pure carnage. And I think that's probably why

35
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 4: people like watching the show, because there's a whole bunch

36
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 4: of us out there that think we're still great athletes

37
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 4: and clearly arted. So yeah, it was a great challenge.

38
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 4: I think it was tough going going straight out of

39
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 4: having a baby, and I definitely paid for it from

40
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 4: a fitness perspective. But thankfully they've got more than just fitness.

41
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 4: It's about your mental strength too, and the camaraderie with

42
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 4: the other guys.

43
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: So, Yani, you've you've been competing at and winning. I

44
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: think you won the World Youth Champs in nineteen ninety

45
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: nine for the four hundred hurdles. So you've you've been

46
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: competing at an international level, let's say since nineteen ninety nine,

47
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: and I'm sure going through various and I know, some

48
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: shocking injuries all the way through there and all the

49
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: rehab that goes with it, and it's all obviously must

50
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: have been incredibly grueling to be a professional athlete. Where

51
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: does this celeb sas Australia line up with as compared

52
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: to the training you had to do as a professional athlete.

53
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, good question. I think I definitely had the biggest

54
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 4: insurance policy on me going into this show because they

55
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 4: were so afraid I'd get injured so many injuries in

56
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 4: my athletics career. I'm a lot older now, but you know,

57
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 4: it was so different. And it's funny because a few

58
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 4: of my athletics friends have asking because I think they're

59
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 4: keen to do it maybe another year, but you don't

60
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 4: know when it's going to end. So the biggest difference

61
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 4: in sport is you have a program, you know what

62
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 4: you have to do. When you get there on the day,

63
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 4: your vomit, your guts up, end up in the blues

64
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 4: for a bit, and then you finish your session, you

65
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 4: go home, you eat where this one was. You never

66
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,839
Speaker 4: get fed, you never sleep, you never have any idea

67
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 4: what you're going to do, and then they play with

68
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 4: your head at the same time. So it was just

69
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 4: it was hard. It was one of the hardest things

70
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 4: I've ever done. But such a great challenge. I mean,

71
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 4: who gets to do this kind of crazy stuff, jump

72
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 4: out of helicopters and get drowned? Like I mean it.

73
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 5: Did?

74
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 3: You say, get drowned.

75
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 4: In the car? So we can we can let that

76
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 4: one drop because obviously we don't allow to talk about

77
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 4: some of the stuff. But you've seen it enough on

78
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 4: the ads that all of us are put in the

79
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 4: car and drop to the bottom of a river and

80
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 4: ritually drowned. I was so scared.

81
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 3: Is this I mean that that may be this may

82
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 3: be your answer, Yana, But of all the things you did,

83
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 3: was there was there were you like looking at the

84
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 3: I mean, because these are official sas guys that are

85
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 3: ranging this thing, we ever look at them being like

86
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 3: this is you've crossed the line? This is way too far.

87
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 4: No, they didn't cross the line, but a couple of

88
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 4: times I looked at them and thought, what kind of

89
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 4: person does this for real, Like what are these men?

90
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 4: What have they done in their life? They would sign

91
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 4: up to do this so often because it's tough, and

92
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 4: you know, for us, that's what's great is we are

93
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 4: just a bunch of celebrities and we you know, we

94
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 4: aren't SAS soldiers. But they do have a little idea

95
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 4: of what what our guys go through to gain selection

96
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 4: and what it takes to be that.

97
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the other side of it. It looks like

98
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: a riper of a program. We're going to talk about

99

Speaker 1: to compete in both Summer and Winter Olympic Games because

115
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,239
Speaker 1: you competed in the bob sled team.

116
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 2: Is that right?

117
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 5: Yeah?

118
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 4: It just literally like cool runnings in Australia. We don't

119
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 4: exactly have a lot of ice here, but what I mean,

120
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 4: just like I says Australia, it was an opportunity I

121
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 4: couldn't pass up go to another Olympic game. It was

122
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 4: a team sport like its better and it was dangerous

123
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 4: and scary. So the kids can come cool.

124
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 3: Well, we've got a little bit of audio actually from

125
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 3: the Sotchy Games. Here you are, lofty, full stare.

126
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 5: You know, they can't believe we have our bob sled tea.

127
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 2: There you are.

128
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 5: We've been sitting on that game for half an hour.

129
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 5: We have been We've been dying, dying to do that gag.

130
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 5: And my god, was it as bad as it was

131
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 5: planned to be. So congratulations on that.

132
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: Yaha. Now I've moved past the news, seven year old news.

133
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: That was worth a ten second audio grab. Now let's

134
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: get back to Let's get back to the show. Because

135
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: you said you said, I know you've said a bit

136
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: on the show and you said around in and around

137
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: the show, you lost the Olympics, You've lost babies, you've

138
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: lost marriages.

139
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: And you want to make your children proud.

140
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: Which one of those losses Olympics, babies, marriages is that

141
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: was the hardest one for you to bear.

142
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 4: Probably the babies. I think, you know, anyone who's gone

143
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 4: through miscarriages and feed a loss is hard. And I

144
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 4: work in obviously it's a doctor now, and I see

145
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 4: how hard it is for your patients. But it's all

146
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 4: it's all building on the resilience, isn't it. So it

147
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 4: shows like this that you can draw on that loss

148
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 4: and that pain and realize that humanizes us. It puts

149
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 4: life in perspective. So look, don't get me wrong, I

150
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 4: still miss racing for Australia. Like it was amazing, running

151
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 4: all over the world, jumping over hurdles for a living.

152
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 2: It was.

153
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 4: It was brilliant. Yeah, but yeah, definitely definitely now that

154
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 4: I have four kids and see how awesome that it

155
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 4: is to be a moment was that was tough going?

156
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, you've also been you know, when you were

157
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,239
Speaker 3: an Olympian and you were you know, very popular amongst Australia.

158
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 3: You were at times a bit of a polarizing figure.

159
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 5: Yeah.

160
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 3: Can I ask you about how that was for you know,

161
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 3: your resilience and your mental strength.

162
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 4: That's why I giggle when you said that was popular, like.

163
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 2: The what were the heat of the scandals? There was?

164
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 2: What was?

165
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 5: What was?

166
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 4: It wasn't really anything. I think what it always is,

167
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 4: I talk really fast, so I'm and I'm quite like

168
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 4: a person like I speak what I think, and i'm

169
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,119
Speaker 4: and I'm really honest. So and as a young person,

170
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 4: you don't have the right direction to understand the consequences

171
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 4: of what you say. As an older person, I've grown up.

172
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 4: I've been beaten around by the media. I know what

173
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 4: it feels like, and I'm more resilient. It just took

174
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 4: me a little time to grow up, to grow into

175
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 4: my personality and realize that, you know, some of the

176
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 4: emotional bide behind me I need to rain in, but

177
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 4: that they are also my asset and that's why I'm

178
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 4: successful in medicine and sport, because different personalities what make

179
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 4: things work.

180
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 3: Do you think there will be a backlash from anything

181
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 3: you do in sas Look, I.

182
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 4: Hope not because I've been very real and honest. You know,

183
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 4: I think the world of sport and media is changing.

184
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 4: So you know, back when I was an athlete in

185
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 4: nearly two thousands, it was about being humble and being

186
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 4: really you know, within yourself. We're all about authenticity Now.

187
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 4: We want to people's pain. We want to know that

188
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 4: they're real and they're human on the inside, and and

189
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 4: I show all of that. I always have. Now it's

190
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 4: something that we've see is great, But certainly when I

191
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 4: was a young athlete, they wanted the opposite.

192
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: And Yanna, is that one of the reasons that you've

193
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: gone on celebrity says this year to sort of remold, reshape,

194
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: resculpt who you are or have been in the public eye,

195
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: given the amount of time you've had out of it.

196
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's interesting you say that, because I've been a

197
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 4: little bit afraid of doing any other celebrity shows because

198
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 4: of the judgment that could be associated. And so I

199
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 4: have to be honest. When I started this show, that

200
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 4: wasn't a reason, but I realized throughout the show that

201
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 4: underlying was. So It's funny, isn't it when your subconscious

202
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 4: realizes you actually still just want to be like you

203
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 4: still are struggling with that personality of all, why what's

204
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 4: the wrong with the movie scenarios? Yeah. So, And it

205
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 4: wasn't until halfway through the show that I actually realized

206
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 4: that sort of very revealing emotional story for us on

207
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 4: there as well, because it was it was so raw

208
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 4: and real and it wasn't one of my wives going

209
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 4: It was definitely one of my wives coming out.

210
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 2: Fascinating stuff. I tell you what.

211
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: We've spoken to a whole bunch of people that have

212
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: come off that show and they are changed people.

213
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 2: So it is.

214
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 1: It is the real deal. Celebrity Sas Australia. It all.
