00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: Bear's had a big wedding weekend, but I think you've

15
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: recovered now in time for Monday Morning RAP.

16
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: Recording back in the game wasn't so much in the

17
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: game yesterday Round two.

18
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: You've actually got your notes up on your screen.

19
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 3: Small steps, small steps.

20
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: I'm very excited that it's World Cup week in basketball.

21
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: We're going to chat about that, but it's in Sydney.

22
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: It's on home soil. We're going to get there. We

23
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: were just discussing, surely we're going to get there for

24
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: Thursday night the opening games take on Rance.

25
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 3: That's going to be a good one. It's yeah.

26
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 2: And it's a double header. I think the game before

27
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: is Career and I want to say China and Tones,

28
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 2: and I is performing before that as well.

29
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 3: Cool.

30
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

31
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: So if you're in Sydney this Thursday night, it's a

32
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: public holiday for some reason that I don't want to

33
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: get into. Very strange day off Thursday, make a day,

34
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: get out to Homebush, two games and Tones Tony public holiday.

35
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 3: It's perfect. Yeah, I love it.

42
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: morning coffee. Let's take a look around the grounds.

43
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: In cycling, the World Road Cycling Championships are here and

44
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 2: the opening event of the event has been raced and

45
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: won a lot of events there. Unfortunately, Grace event of

46
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 2: the event. Look, sometimes it's hard to use the thoris

47
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 2: that the thoris. Maybe I haven't recovered from the weekend. Unfortunately,

48
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: Ozzie Grace Brown fell just short of the gold, finishing

49
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: second in the women's time trial to the defending champion,

50
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 2: Dutch writer Ellen van Dyke. It was Van Dyke's third

51
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 2: world title in the discipline. Grace Brown went early in

52
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: the race, so they all start kind of one at

53
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: a time, staggered and she's set the time to beat,

54
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 2: clocking forty four minutes and forty one point three to

55
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: three seconds for the technical thirty four point two Calo

56
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: went a course in and around Wollongong. She sat in

57
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 2: that number one seat for a long time waiting for

58
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 2: someone to beat her, and it wasn't until the defending champ,

59
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: who went i think second last out of the forty

60
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: five riders, finally did it. Brown was super happy with

61
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 2: her silver medal and spoke about what it meant to

62
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: ride in front of a home crowd when she said

63
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 2: after the race, I hoped I was in contention for

64
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: podium spot here. I think having local crowds and people

65
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 2: cheering my name really pushed me along on the course.

66
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: I'm super happy that I had a good day. So

67
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 2: the local human crowds very welcome by the riders. Little

68
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: little funny story here. The flying locals not so friendly.

69
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: So it's nobody likes the flying local in swooping season,

70
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,839
Speaker 2: and the magpies have been getting in on the World

71
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: Champs too, Brown said leading up to a vent I've

72
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: been sweet twice already since being here, so it's not

73
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: just the international athletes that are worried about it. I

74
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: get pretty scared by magpies. Belgium rider remco Evan Pole,

75
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 2: who was a favorite for the Elite men's road race

76
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 2: this week, I think he summed it up when he

77
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 2: told Cycling News after being swooped during a training ride,

78
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 2: it was terrifying. But that's Australia apparently. That's it, really said, terrifying,

79
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 2: erasing amazing. Also did go on to say, I know

80
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: that local riders around here put little things in their helmets,

81
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: but the amount of research and money that goes into

82
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 2: being aerodynamic at this level doesn't really lend itself to

83
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: some zip ties at the top of the helmet.

84
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 3: No it doesn't.

85
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: I have a traumatic bike riding magpie swooping there was

86
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: a heel. You and I grew up on the same street.

87
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,679
Speaker 1: Actually not at the same time, but on the same street.

88
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 3: Age this hill.

89
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: That was so steep, and I was going down on

90
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: my bike and this magpie came from the front and

91
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: just swooped. Do they like bike helmets or something?

92
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 2: No, I just think they I don't like bikes, that's

93
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: for sure, But that hill, We're lucky to have her.

94
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: Everyone just quietly really could have been the end of

95
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 2: Chloe at a young age.

96
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: In NRLW, the final round of the regular season was

97
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: a triple head out on Sunday and there was plenty

98
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: to play for. Three times NLW champions. The Brisbane Broncos

99
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: knew the equation, so they had to beat the paramount

100
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: of Eels or lose by less than four points to

101
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: stay in fourth place and book their spot in the playoffs.

102
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: But the Eels were just too good for the Broncos,

103
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: getting the important win twenty eight to sixteen and taking

104
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: fourth place from them in the process. It means this

105
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: is the first final series that the Brisbane team will

106
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: not feature in. Brisbane captain Ali Brigginshaw was clearly upset

107
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: after the loss and was at a loss there's a

108
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,119
Speaker 1: lot of loss in there. We've got a lot of loss,

109
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: a lot of events. Today, she was trying to explain

110
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: what went wrong in an underwhelming season. She said, after

111
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: the disappointing it's shattering. You train so hard and then

112
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: you put in performances like that. There were too many

113
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: moments we didn't show enough desire as a team. It's

114
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: just disappointing. We feel disappointed for our family and friends

115
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: at home watching. We tried so hard. We're going to

116
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: learn from it, but it just hurts.

117
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 3: That was rough. She was visibly upset.

118
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 2: Ali I think probably being part of a team that

119
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 2: has been so successful for so long, not a familiar

120
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 2: feeling for them to not be playing in finals next

121
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:29,799
Speaker 2: week for sure.

122
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: At the other end of the emotional spectrum with the Eels,

123
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: who were looking for their first win of the season,

124
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: so the victory means they will play finals footy for

125
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: the first time in their history, and coach Deanwood has

126
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: said after the match, we're definitely really happy with the result.

127
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: I don't really care that we've only won one game

128
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: to make finals. If they've done the job, I don't

129
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: really care. That's just external stuff. We know our performances

130
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,239
Speaker 1: this season have been worthy of getting another opportunity against

131
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: these top teams, and I think that sums up probably

132
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: the length of the season, the number of teams in

133
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: the common, and the fact that Egels have gone close

134
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: to getting a win. So I think there's there's been

135
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: some games where they've been a little bit unlucky just

136
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: to miss out. So it's kind of a weird format

137
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: though that you can win one game and make finals.

138
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's a sixteen comp fourteen finals series, so

139
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: good ratios, not a bad shot. And also, you know, interestingly,

140
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 2: I get that, and I understand that that's you know,

141
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 2: that makes sense to me. But next week now you've

142
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: got one v four and two v three straight and

143
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 2: then winners of those go straight to the GF. So

144
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: really the Roosters have dominated all year. They could run

145
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 2: into a red hot Parer team and be gone in

146
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 2: the first week, not make the Granny.

147
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: It is a tough format, but I think if you

148
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: finish first and you can't beat the fourth team come

149
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: semi final time, then you don't serve to win the

150
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: whole team.

151
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 3: That's brutal from you. Shocking, but I'm here for it. Shocking.

152
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 3: Can you believe it?

153
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: Following on from your Rooster's chat, they had a comprehensive

154
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: thirty eight to twelve win over the Gold Coast Titans

155
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: that secured the top spot on the ladder for the

156
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: defending champs, and in the final match of the day,

157
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: the Newcastle Knights were too good for the Saint George Dragons,

158
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: winning thirty to eight. The win met the Knights, who

159
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: came last in the twenty twenty one season finished in

160
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: second place. Knights prop Caitlin Johnstone was huge, running for

161
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: one hundred ninety four meters with sixteen carries. Next week

162
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: is Week one of the finals, so we'll see the

163
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: Knights come up against the Dragons in the first semi

164
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: while premiers the Roosters will face the Paramatt Eels as

165
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: we said one v four in the second match. The

166
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: NROLW semifinals will combine with the Prime Minister's thirteen matches

167
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: for Rugby League's Footy Fest at Suncorp Stadium on Sunday.

168
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 2: It would be a great day in afl W, so

169
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 2: we dubbed it as a potential Grand final preview last

170
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 2: week and the match did not disappoint. The Brisbane lines

171
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 2: and Melbourne Demons put on an epic display of footy

172
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 2: on Sunday AVO. The D's got off to a red

173
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 2: hot start, kicking the opening three yearl to about nineteen

174
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 2: nil after eight minutes, but Ali Anderson with twenty one

175
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 2: disposals and Jesse Wardlaw, who kicked two goals, were immense

176
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 2: and led the Lions fight back, which resulted in a

177
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 2: six six forty two to four three twenty seven victory.

178
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 2: It was Melbourne's first loss of the season and put

179
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 2: the Lines on top of the ladder as just as

180
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: one of just two unbeaten teams after four rounds, along

181
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 2: with the second place Western Bulldogs. Collingwood suffered their first

182
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: loss the season, going down two nine twenty one to

183
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 2: two four sixteen in some pretty ordinary and wet conditions

184
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 2: to Adelaide Crows. There was some history made in that

185
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 2: match when three female field umpires Alini t Gabby Simmons

186
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: and a Jordan Pierson officiad in the same AFLW fixture

187
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 2: for the first ever time. Well done ladies, and in

188
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 2: a weird occurrence, the Blues Carlton registered a second straight draw.

189
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 3: That's weird, hard to even try and get a draw.

190
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 2: Draws are rare in AFL, and to have two in

191
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 2: a row is pretty out there. This week, it was

192
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 2: a comeback against the Frio Doctors that ended five goals

193
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 2: to thirty two each. The Doctors led by eighteen points

194
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 2: at halftime and seemed certain to bag their first win

195
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 2: of the season, but the Blue stormed home after a

196
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 2: blitzed open the final quarter, grabbing the lead through goals

197
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 2: to Jess Good and Brie and Moody and finally expansion

198
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 2: side Port Adelaide now their first ever win, thumping the

199
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 2: Swans ten goals eight sixty eight to no goals two.

200
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 2: It was a fitting way for Captain Aaron Phillips, the

201
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 2: most decorated play in the competition's history, to celebrate her

202
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: fiftieth game in basketball.

203
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: Becky Hammond became a WNBA Championship coach on Monday morning,

204
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: guiding her Las Vegas Aces to the WNBA title with

205
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 1: a seventy eight to seventy one game four victory over

206
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: the Connecticut Sun.

207
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 2: Can I just say sorry, I'm jumping in and say

208
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 2: we need to do a hand signal and we're not

209
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 2: in real life?

210
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: It's the delay is quite hard, isn't it.

211
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 3: Woke up trying to find this everywhere. No.

212
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 2: ESPN just didn't have it on because there's NFL games

213
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: on Great Thanks wasn't on SBS either.

214
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: So Game four of the WNBA Finals was not on television.

215
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 3: Yeah in Australia. Yeah, but that's bad. Frustrating continue in

216
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 3: the processes.

217
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,719
Speaker 1: Becky Hammond became the first in WNBA history to win

218
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: a title in her debut season as a head coach.

219
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 3: That's impressive.

220
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 1: It was the first ever WNBA championship for the Aces,

221
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: and Chelsea Gray was outstanding for the team with twenty

222
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: points in Game four. She was named the most Valuable

223
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: Player of the Finals. Coach Hammond said after the game

224
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: what she was most proud of was the way that

225
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: Aces players trusted in each other. It was that message

226
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: she kept emphasizing all season and it proved a major

227
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: factor in winning the title. Did you, mate, did you

228
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: make that part up because your argument is trust wins championships.

229
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 2: Nope, But I definitely could be there because it's right

230
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 2: the fact, Betty says so, so you could just stick

231
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 2: your opinion somewhere else.

232
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: Oh wow, aggressive, She said, they're unbelievable on the court,

233
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: but they are unbelievable humans. They care about each other.

234
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: It's been so much fun. They're big time players. They

235
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: love big time moments. Oh, I'm so about that. I

236
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: love it. Wow. This is Becky's first season as a

237
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: head coach, It's not her first time on the big stage.

238
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: So she spent eight seasons as an assistant to Greg

239
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:33,359
Speaker 1: Popovich Double G and Greg at the end weird unnecessary

240
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: in the NBA at the San Antonio Spurs, and many

241
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: thought she'd be the first to break the glass ceiling

242
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: to become the first woman head coach of an NBA team.

243
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: It hasn't happened yet, and when the aces came knocking,

244
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: she could not turn down the chance to coach players

245
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: like Gray Wilson and Kelsey Plumb. Hawman is aware that

246
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: being a female has held her back in the coaching journey, saying, sure,

247
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: if my name was Brian and I played sixteen years

248
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: in the NBA, I would have been hired and fired

249
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: a few times as an NBA coach already. That's just

250
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: what it is, Isn't that so true? Also funny? Why

251
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 1: did she say the name Brian?

252
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 2: Brian Brian Hammond, Brian should just start applying for jobs.

253
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 2: That's Brian.

254
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 3: It's not a bad idea with her with her resume,

255
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 3: but just the name Brian.

256
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: That would be a good social experiment. I don't know

257
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: why it's social, but it'd be a good experiment. There

258
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: is no doubt that the NBA's loss was the WNBA's gain,

259
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: and there are now thousands of Las Vegas Aces fans

260
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: thankful for Becky Hammond right now, Joe.

261
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 3: The Aces in some more basketball.

262
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 2: Late last week, President Joe Biden met with Sheryl Griner,

263
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 2: wife of Brittany Griiner, and reassured her that he's working

264
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 2: to gain the w NBA Stars freedom. Runner remains in

265
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: a prison in Rush after being sentenced to nine years

266
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 2: on a drug chargers. The August fourth verdict was called unacceptable,

267
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 2: according to President Biden, and the US government continues to

268
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 2: try and secure BG's lease the United States. In late July,

269
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 2: SOI had put forward a substantial offer to secure the release,

270
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 2: and the Russian Foreign Ministry said it was engaged in

271
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 2: quiet diplomacy with the United States about a potential's prisoner swap.

272
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 2: Cheryl Griner thanked Biden in a statement, saying it was

273
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 2: an honor to speak to him about the Britney we

274
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 2: know and love. She said, I felt every minute of

275
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 2: the grueling seven months without her. I look forward to

276
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 2: day my wife is back home, as my family and

277
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 2: I continue on this journey. I'd like to thank the

278
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 2: broad coalition of friends, leaders and supporters who continue to

279
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 2: stand with us and advocate for Britney's swift and safe return.

280
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 2: Let's share a unified commitment to bringing all Americans home

281
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 2: to their families and loved ones.

282
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 3: Together, we are BG rough God. I hope they get

283
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 3: a home soon.

284
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: What happens with a prisoner swab? Do they have to

285
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: still serve out the length of their sentence regardless?

286
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 2: I think it's depending on the alleged crime. So obviously

287
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 2: Beg was uses medicinal marijuana that's legal in America, and.

288
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 3: That was the issue.

289
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 2: She had too hash cases that had residue of that

290
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 2: in her bag. So I think obviously, given that that

291
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 2: wouldn't be a crime in America, I think she'd just

292
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 2: come home to end be free. But I'm no aware.

293
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love how I asked you that, as if

294
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: you knew the answer to that, because it would make

295
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: sense right that she could come home, And it's not

296
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: illegal on home soil, but I didn't know if that

297
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: was a condition of a prisoner swap that when they

298
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: do come home they still have to serve out their

299
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: sentence on home soil.

300
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 3: To be determined, Yeah, I'm not sure.

301
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: In more more basketball, the Feeble World Cup is almost

302
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: here and the Ossie Opals have wound up a series

303
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: of trial matches with another win they built. They beat

304
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: Belgium sixty five to sixty one on Sunday, after beating

305
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: France earlier in the week ninety two to eighty eight.

306
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: The Oples are ready for a massive World Cup on

307
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: home soil and their first match is this Thursday against France.

308
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: Last week, Test Machin was named captain of the team

309
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: and the way expectation is not lost on her. She

310
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: spoke about what it means to be part of the group,

311
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: saying growing up and watching the Sidney Olympics is what

312
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: really inspired me to want to be an Opal. We

313
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: are a sisterhood. Once an Opal, always an Opal, and

314
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: I think that's something that this group can really leave

315
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: a mark on, is our care for each other, and

316
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: hopefully that will be taken forward in all Opals groups

317
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: in the future. Imagine says, the players are as fit

318
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: as they've ever been, and at the World Cup one

319
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: to showcase the trademarks of being super fierce, super feared, tough, physically,

320
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: relentless cool.

321
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 3: I like those words.

322
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 2: I reckon, that's a little insight into the posters on

323
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 2: the wall and the change for American m hmm.

324
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Maagine gets to play alongside the goat Lauren Jackson,

325
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,119
Speaker 1: who will no doubt instill a level of quiet confidence

326
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: in these opals and we cannot wait to see them

327
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: on the court.

328
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 2: The podcast, I think my favorite of all time your chat.

329
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: That's a big call favorite of all time.

330
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just think LJ was just super open and

331
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 2: candid about you know, her life and career and her

332
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 2: ups and downs, and it was just a really really

333
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 2: good listen.

334
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 3: Thank you, it was your favorite part.

335
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: I was thinking about that, I reckon. I was because

336
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: I've read a book. I know her story so well,

337
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: Like I've heard her chat about Russia and all of

338
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: those things in the past, but there were just different

339
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: things where she talked about her anxiety as a little

340
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: kid not wanting to leave her mum's side, and she

341
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: ended up being a basketballer who traveled the world trying

342
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: to make a living and she just had to find

343
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: a way to get through it and push through panic

344
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: attacks and anxiety and depression and all of these things.

345
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 1: Like it's just seriously impressive what she's been through and

346
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: the perspective that she now carries into this this opportunity.

347
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: She's just so thankful for this opportunity to play basketball again.

348
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 1: But at the same time, she's gone away, she's had

349
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 1: two beautiful little kids, and she actually just is appreciating

350
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: it day by day and she's like it might get

351
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: taken away from me at any second, but if it does,

352
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: I'll be okay. It just yeah, if you haven't listened

353
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,360
Speaker 1: to it, check it out, because it was a real

354
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: honor to get the chance to chat to her and

355
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: in that level of detail and honesty, Yep, great chat.

356
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 2: In triathlon, Ashley Gentle has one big in Texas. She

357
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 2: took out the Professional Triathletes Organization US Open race in Dallas,

358
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 2: beating a top class international field and pocketing US one

359
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 2: hundred k in the process.

360
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: Nice payday.

361
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 2: Nice Gentle was eighth after the two k swim and

362
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: eighty kilometer cycle, but came home fast in the eighteen

363
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 2: kilometer run to get the victory. She broke down in

364
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 2: tears after finishing in three hours, thirty seven minutes and

365
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 2: eighteen seconds, beating a tailor near but by one minute

366
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 2: and fifteen seconds after the American led for much of

367
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 2: the race. It was hot in Dallas, and Gentle emptied

368
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 2: herself on that run leg, saying after the race, I

369
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 2: had to dig to the depths of my soul for

370
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 2: that one.

371
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 3: It is very hot.

372
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 2: Absolutely didn't expect to run in to the win today.

373
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 2: I was honestly feeling just horrible on the start of

374
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 2: the Blick ride, being on my own a little bit.

375
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: Watching the group right away. He was really discover discouraging,

376
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 2: but I was just trying to keep my head in

377
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 2: the game. It was a second win for Gentle, after

378
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 2: also taking the prize in July at the PTO Canadian Open.

379
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 3: She's killing it.

380
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 1: Oh good in soccer and also in some No one

381
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,959
Speaker 1: watches women's sport news my favorite kind of news. The

382
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 1: San Diego Wave has smashed the single game attendance record

383
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: for the National Women's Soccer League the NWSL, after a

384
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: sellout crowd of thirty two thousand was recorded for Saturday's

385
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: one nil win over Southern California rivals Angel City FC.

386
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: The game was the Waves first to be held at

387
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: the new Snapdragon Stadium. It is sadly not named after

388
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: the San Diego State University team. On December six, twenty

389
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 1: twenty one, San Diego State announced a naming rights agreement

390
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 1: with Qualcom, who also owned the naming rights to the

391
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: original stadium. The stadium became known as Snapdragon Stadium, named

392
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: after Qualcomm's Snapdragon brand of systems on a chip.

393
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 3: So disappointing.

394
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 2: I just wanted it to be, you know, snapdragons like

395
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 2: little flowers. No, you don't know what a snap Dragon is.

396
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: No. The San Diego Wave FC president Jill Ellis said,

397
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: this is a great reflection of the momentum we see

398
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 1: in women's sports. We've sold all of our inventory. It's incredible.

399
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: We should celebrate this, but we should now expect it

400
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: big crowds for women's professional sports. Yes, I love this.

401
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: The electric crowd was rewarded when seventeen year old Jaden

402
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: Shaw scored the first goal in Snapdragon Stadium history on

403
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: the thirty minute mark. That goal was enough to secure

404
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: the win for the home team in front of their

405
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: huge home crowd.

406
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 2: So good and a quick little shout out here obviously

407
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 2: Female Athlete Project focusing on amazing female athletes, But couldn't

408
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 2: let this week go by without a quick little nod

409
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 2: to another goat who announced they were stepping away from tennis.

410
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 2: Roger Federer, forty one year old Swiss superstar, one of

411
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 2: an amazing twenty Grand Slam titles, third most of all

412
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 2: time for men in his twenty four year career, spent

413
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 2: a record two hundred and thirty seven straight weeks as

414
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 2: the world number one.

415
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 3: It's a lot of weeks, it.

416
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 2: Sure is, and at thirty six years old, became the

417
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 2: oldest player to ever hold that top mark. Thank you, Roger,

418
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 2: you were absolutely absolutely I will miss that single handed backhand.

419
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 2: It was a thing of beauty.

420
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 1: And what I love about Roger is his humility. And

421
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: his humility, that's it. That's what I love about him.

422
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 1: He's so good to watch and just the way that

423
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: he carries himself.

424
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 3: And the way he speaks. Love him. Class.

425
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the key story.

426
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 3: It's a bit more cycling. This is an interesting one.

427
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 2: The French Cycling Federation have come out and defended their

428
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 2: head scratching decision to fly their men in business class

429
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,199
Speaker 2: to Australia for the World Champs, while their female competitors

430
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 2: flew in economy class. The men's team, which includes two

431
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 2: times defending at World champ Julian Ala Felupe, traveled upfront,

432
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 2: while the seven women riders.

433
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 3: As well as the rest of the delegation.

434
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 2: Including male and female competitors entered in the junior events

435
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 2: and their support staff were all in the back of

436
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 2: the plane.

437
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: Christopheman In, French Cycling's national technical director, told the AFP

438
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: that flying the team to Australia costs a lot of

439
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 1: money and we don't have the means to put everyone

440
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: in business. He said that the federation had based its

441
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: decisions on one main criterion, the ability to compete for medals,

442
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 1: and the men had better chances. He said, for the men,

443
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: we've been world champions for the last two years. We

444
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 1: are really going there to win, while we are more

445
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 1: of an outsider in the girls competition. I actually wonder

446
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: if maybe they wouldn't be such outside as if you

447
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: believed it invited them with better conditions and flew than business

448
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: class like the men, maybe then their bodies would be

449
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: better prepared to compete in the World Championships.

450
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 3: That's a very interesting concept, Chloe.

451
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 2: The French team manager Thomas Voikler, who traveled with the

452
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 2: women's team in Economy, attempted to just brush over the

453
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 2: controversy instead focusing on the athletes being there to represent

454
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 2: France when he said, I'm concentrating on the sport and

455
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 2: I have no energy to lose as long as the

456
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 2: writers of the French team are proud to wear the

457
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 2: colors of the jersey. So I think some of the

458
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 2: jerseys came out in different stages on the conveyor belt

459
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 2: because some had a business class tag attached to them

460
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 2: and then other bags they were last.

461
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 3: Traveling with bikes. How much oversized? Like it a lot?

462
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: It's a lot of waiting at the oversize, isn't it?

463
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,479
Speaker 3: So thoughts on this friend.

464
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: I think probably what I said before is we always

465
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: come back to this point of you have to invest

466
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: and you have to water the plant to see it grow,

467
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: and it's a really backwards way to look at it.

468
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: I was actually looking at Kelsey Train is her name,

469
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: who's in the US and she does a lot in

470
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: the women's sports space, and I was looking at this

471
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: tweet that she has pinned. She talks about looking at

472
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: it like it's a four hundred meter race, and in

473
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: a four hundred meter race, you've got staggered starts. Because

474
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: if you didn't have staggered starts and everyone's started at

475
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: the same place, the person in the outside lane has

476
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: to run a lot further than the person in the

477
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: inside lane. And she was talking about it in terms

478
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: of media coverage of women's sports. But that's why it's

479
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 1: actually so important to invest in these things, because you

480
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: can't just put them all in the same starting line

481
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: and be like, off you go, good luck. So I

482
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: think this example with the business class is put them all.

483
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 1: If you're going to put the men in business and

484
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: they're a flying to the same location, put the women

485
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: in business, invest and then see what happened.

486
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 2: Absolutely agree, And look, I don't know how I'm not

487
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 2: about to comment on the financial position of French cycling,

488
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 2: but they've just had and I know this is probably

489
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,479
Speaker 2: separate and til de France is privately, I know all

490
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff, but there is some serious coin

491
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 2: in cycling. I don't understan and how you can't put

492
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 2: your seven women competitors up in business class as well.

493
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 3: A very good point.

494
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,719
Speaker 2: Find a way, find an investor, find someone who is willing,

495
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 2: like you said, to water the plant, because those plants

496
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 2: deserve some watering. And those women deserve not to be

497
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 2: spoken about like they're just going to get swooped on

498
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 2: by magpies.

499

515
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,560

00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,280

Speaker 1: In a slightly different way to watch, there's an amazing

537
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: doco currently showing on SBS called Sidelined Women in basketball.

538
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: The four part series follows the Deacon Melbourne Boomers they

539
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 1: as they take their fight beyond the basketball court to

540
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: overcome gender inequality, lower pay, balancing a sporting career with

541
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 1: other work, racial discrimination, and the constant pressure to justify

542
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: their existence as female athletes in a sporting and societal

543
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: landscape dominated by men. How's that sentence so good?

544
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 3: Look?

545
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 2: I may have ripped it straight off the SBS page,

546
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 2: but it was everything. That's all we need to know,

547
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:44,640
