But today it is her day and 25 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 3: we we are guilty of this where Noami was almost 26 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 3: used as a fun fact, as an aside to talk 27 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 3: about how great Jess is. 28 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: Yes, not today, not today, Not today, Satan are going 29 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: to be giving no Ami her dues. But before we 30 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: do that, let's have a quick look at the overall 31 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: medal table, because Jeremie, we're freaking podium. 32 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 3: We're on the medium. 33 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: We are rose gold Australia in currently number three. We're 34 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: thirteen golds, eleven silvers, eight bronzes. 35 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 2: Since we last. 36 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: Chatted, we have that medal, the gold to no Ami 37 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: above us little countries, China, the US. 38 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 3: They're us, They're us, and those populations just as the compare. 39 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 3: If you do not mind, but you mentioned thirteen gold. 40 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 3: Three of those have come from Padling. Three of them 41 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 3: have come from the same family. In a clean sweep 42 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 3: of all the female events that were available at the Games. 43 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: I love that you've mentioned this, Jelmy, because if the 44 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: Fox family, and by Fox family I mean no Amy 45 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: and Jess. 46 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 3: So the two not Mum with the bronze. 47 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 2: Not Mum, they are the elite family. 48 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 1: But if we were just looking at the siblings at 49 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: this Games, they would be number sixteen, a joint tie 50 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: with Ireland on the overall metal tally with three golds. 51 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: There are above countries like Brazil, Ukraine and even Spain, 52 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: just those two girls. 53 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 3: What the reason why this story makes me so emotional 54 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 3: is Miami Fox has consistently been one of the greatest 55 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 3: paddlers in the world. Yep has consistently been in the 56 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 3: top ten at World Championships. Performing for any other country, 57 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 3: she would almost have automatic Games qualification. It just happened 58 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 3: to be that until Paris there was one spot available. 59 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 3: It was for the K one up until Tokyo, and 60 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 3: then it was the C one and the K one. 61 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 3: It was unfortunate for Noami that that spot was taken 62 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 3: by the best in the world. Yes, that happened to 63 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 3: be her older sister. Yes, who is the greatest paddler 64 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 3: we've ever seen of all time, who is trained by 65 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 3: their mum, who also trains her. 66 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: Yeah. 67 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, And that is a tough pill to swallow if 68 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 3: you are anyone. And yet all of Australia has fallen 69 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 3: in love with their family for how much they celebrate 70 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 3: one another and the very palpable love. She even qualified 71 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 3: for her first Games and her sister's the flag bearer. 72 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 2: Yes, I know. 73 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: So this is the ultimate like always the bridesmaid, never 74 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: the bride storyline. Like just think about your own family. 75 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: If you have siblings and you love them obviously, but 76 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: you always there's always some kind of rivalry. 77 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 3: Well, we talk about family dynamics and we talk about 78 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 3: the Fox family and we feel like we all know 79 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 3: them personally because mum Miriam herself won bronze competing for 80 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 3: France at the Atlanta Games in nineteen ninety six, and 81 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 3: she is both of the girls coach and then Richard 82 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 3: their dad, who famously was in commentary for Tokyo and 83 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 3: just got so emotional watching Jess win her first goal, 84 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 3: saying she's such a beautiful person, que tears from everyone. 85 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 2: Everyone. 86 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 3: Was a consistent world champion and has been a head 87 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 3: coach of the Australian paddling team as well, and he 88 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 3: competed and came fourth at the Barcelona Games in nineteen 89 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 3: ninety two, and there's this amazing quote from Miami being 90 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 3: like I just went into the final that had four 91 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 3: people been like, don't be like dad, be like mom, 92 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 3: or be like Jess.

Yes, when they go, they 110 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 3: literally flip their entire kayak. Yeah, go upside down and 111 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 3: then pop back up like everything's fine. It is brutal 112 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 3: race and the physical stroke, the physicality needed to be 113 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 3: successful at it. And the thing is Naomi led from 114 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 3: start to finish. 115 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: Yes, so, and when she cleared that last gait and 116 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: you could hear her dad who had fallen silent in 117 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: the cony. They were so nervous, but she cleared that 118 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: one gate and you just heard Richard go yes, and 119 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: you knew that she'd won. 120 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 3: And then Jess is in the water, Mum's in the water. 121 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 3: They're trying to get Richard in the water again. Like 122 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 3: if you haven't seen this footage, go and watch the 123 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 3: absolute unbridled joy that this event has brought the family. 124 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 3: But Georgie, I'm going to take you on the story 125 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 3: of the qualification that she had to go through. So, 126 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 3: as I mentioned previously, there was only ever one spot 127 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 3: available in Australia and that was either for the C 128 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 3: one or the K one and Jess had. 129 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: It went to Jess who is the current gold medalist 130 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: in both those events. 131 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 3: And bless no Amy because there was talks about the fact, 132 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 3: I mean their dad is British and mum is French, 133 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 3: and so she could have very much defected to represent 134 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 3: another country and make Games qualification. And she was only three. 135 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 3: In Sydney two thousand and she said she remembers watching 136 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 3: the opening ceremony and she was like, I had a 137 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 3: French flag over one shoulder, I had Australian flag over 138 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 3: one shoulder, and I had a British hat on and 139 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 3: yet I remember that. 140 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: If that's not adding to the identity crisis family, But. 141 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 3: She said, you know, I never thought about representing any 142 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 3: other country because in Australia we do such a great 143 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 3: job of celebrating the stories and maybe it just wasn't mine. 144 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 3: So she has a full degree, and she has a 145 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 3: full degree in media and communications. She's volunteered at Games. Again, 146 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 3: this is someone who's consistently some of the best in 147 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 3: the world. She has a full time job. 148 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: Yes, and of course, I mean, are we color are shocked? 149 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: She's really excelled at that job, exactly like she is 150 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: in the top tier of her profession. 151 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 3: Then rolls around Paris and the kayak cross being added 152 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 3: as a discipline and for the first time there are 153 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 3: more opportunities that she may be selected. But it's not 154 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 3: as simple as you would think. Jess qualified for all three. 155 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 3: So she's in the Sea one, the K one and 156 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 3: the K Cross. There are only three spots left for 157 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 3: all athletes in the world, yes, to qualify to make 158 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 3: it to a Games, and a year out she decides 159 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 3: I'm going to give this everything. 160 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: And also coming into this event, Jess's most recent results 161 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: she'd won gold in the kayak cross. Yes, she'd won 162 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: that along with the gold in the K one and 163 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: the Sea one at the World Cup event right before Paris, 164 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: so you still have this push pull of wanting your 165 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: sister to do so well. 166 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 2: It's giving Campbell sisters. 167 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: Yeah really yep, and how very much they were just 168 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: at each other's throats and you're happy for them, but 169 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: of course you're sad for yourself. 170 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 2: You want to be the main character. You can't be. 171 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 3: So you'd think everything would have to go right for 172 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,719 Speaker 3: Noemi in order for this qualification event, which was only 173 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 3: in June, to allow her to make it through. Well, George, 174 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 3: there is basically one facility in Australia that can allow 175 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,599 Speaker 3: you to train for this event in Penris, and the 176 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,479 Speaker 3: Fox family are very heavily involved. They had a water issue. 177 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 3: Me there was an algae bloom of some variety that 178 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 3: meant that they couldn't use the facility that trains for 179 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 3: the kayak cross. And if you've seen the event, it's 180 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 3: a very specific drop. 181 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 2: Probably cleaner than the sin though. 182 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 3: Yeah it probably would have been. I mean not that 183 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 3: this event was in the seend, but she probably would 184 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 3: have taken it. Let's be honest. So she had to 185 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 3: go on flat water and then also just go to 186 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 3: the gym and then actually get to Prague earlier so 187 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 3: that she could train because in Europe, if one facility 188 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 3: wasn't okay, you'd just go to the next country and 189 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 3: train at that facility. And she finally did it, so 190 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 3: she qualifies. 191 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: She comes second, She gets to Paris, she gets into 192 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: the heats. One of those first heats, she's up against 193 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: her sister Jess, and it's already one two golds and 194 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: everyone in Australia back home, the country that you have 195 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: decided to represent and doesn't really know who you are, 196 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: is going for your sister, like we were very very 197 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: much behind Jess doing the clean sweep. Yeah, Jess gets 198 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: eliminated in those heats earlier on no Amy is in 199 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: the tougher side of the draw. But she sticks to 200 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: her guns, as you said, Jelmy, she knows that this 201 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: could be her event. 202 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 2: She makes sure that she is. 203 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: In lane one each and every heat round. She also 204 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: picked the correct upstream pole every single time. 205 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 2: Now that's the key part of the race because that's. 206 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: Where the field really does get separated, and if you 207 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: choose wrong, you are stuffed, to put it politely, politely, 208 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: and then we come to the final and she pulls 209 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: off one of the most epic races that you've ever seen, 210 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: getting jostled and hit, and she makes it look so easy. 211 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: And I'm so thrilled that now US and Australia will 212 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: remember this is no Amy Day. 213 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 2: That's what I'm. 214 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 3: Calling for, the day that reporters around the country go 215 00:10:55,080 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 3: Naomi Naomi no Amy because it is the French pronunciation 216 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 3: of her name. And of course both the girls were 217 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 3: actually born in Marseilles, so there's a beautiful circle, oh, 218 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 3: that they've come back to where it all began for 219 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 3: them once again. 220 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: The sporting gods are just riding this tale. You could 221 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: not get a better storyline. And just to put the 222 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: cherry on top of the most beautiful book you've ever ready, 223 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: both of the Fox girls were performing and were competing 224 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: for their grandfather, Roger, who of course also had some 225 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: standing in the paddling circles because it was his dream 226 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: to see both of his granddaughters qualify for a Games. 227 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: He did see that, he learned that that was happening. 228 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: He was going to be booking tickets for Paris, so 229 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: that he could watch them, and he sadly passed away 230 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: only hours after he found out that they were both 231 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: noa Amy and Jess going to Paris. 232 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 3: And they're so close with their family, and their grandma 233 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 3: said that she was too stressed to go, so imagine 234 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 3: getting to go and then give It's just again put 235 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 3: it so perfectly, George. If this was a script presented 236 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 3: pre Paris, you'd say, that's lovely, but how good's fiction? 237 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you'd be like, oh, it's a bit saccer 238 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: and a bit sweet at the end. I don't know, 239 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: doesn't really sound very realistic or believable. 240 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 3: It's the fact that Jess was in the event and 241 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 3: didn't qualify for the final, and no Amy's done this 242 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 3: outright on the world stage, and no one can ever 243 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 3: take that gold away from you. Yeah. 244 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that if we think back, Jeremy, 245 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: the bit that the quote that stands out to me 246 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: before the Games that we touched on was that Jess 247 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: was almost happier than she'd ever been seeing no Ami qualify, 248 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: so she knows how much that this means to her 249 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:44,319 Speaker 1: younger sister. 250 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 3: Which is so special and probably and Jess spoke about 251 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 3: it in the research that I did for Tokyo. Listening 252 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 3: to some of Jess's chats, she says, one of the 253 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 3: hardest parts of my sport is knowing that if I 254 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 3: wasn't going to the Games, my sister. 255 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 2: Would be beautiful. 256 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 3: But that's because there would be a slight tang to 257 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 3: everything that you do. And now neither of them have 258 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 3: to feel that. Yeah, and it's been lifted on just 259 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 3: such a monumental stage. 260 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 1: Three goals from one games in the one family between 261 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: two women. 262 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 3: What what they are? 263 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 2: The girls? 264 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 3: Delightful? Oh, they're the best. 265 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: They're honestly the poster girls for everything, every everything, everything could. 266 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 2: Never oh could never right. 267 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 3: And I love that we've had so much for room 268 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 3: to talk about this because yes, yes, the team has 269 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 3: done us a solid. 270 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 2: There so clerical about amy with our one metal overnight. 271 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 3: You know, it's been an amazing result for the Australians. 272 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 3: When it takes me this long to get. 273 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 2: To the athletics, you're still glassy. 274 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 3: When we're talking about it. I just haven't slept. I 275 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 3: haven't slept. I'm very happy in my green and gold jacket, 276 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 3: but my god, as it just been Curtis Marshall finishing 277 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 3: six in the pole vault with his broken leg. He 278 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 3: gets more dramatic every time he does. He used a 279 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 3: chair to get him to wheel. 280 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 2: Himself up there, but he was climbing. 281 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 3: We did get to watch Sweden's Mondo Mondo, Mondo Mondo 282 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 3: du Plantes. 283 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: He went back to back with gold and also broke 284 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: the world record in pole vault to seal his gold 285 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: medal six point two five meters and the celebration jelmy, 286 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: if we don't mind. He paid tribute to an icon 287 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: of the Games he will eventually talk about in a 288 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: later episode. 289 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 2: But the man from Turkey, the Turkish assassin, the shooter. 290 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: Who if you haven't seen him, you haven't been alive 291 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: in the last week and a high. He is everywhere 292 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: on the internet. He's the man that just competes in 293 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: shooting with his reading glasses and his hand in his 294 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: pocket and that's all he needs. 295 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 3: I believe. The technical term was he raw dogged it. 296 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 2: He raw dogged it. He was raw dogging the shooting. 297 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 3: When people have very specific glasses. 298 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 2: Oh my god, he had. 299 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 3: He looked like they basically said, so Turkey calls an assassin, yeah, 300 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 3: last minute and said, by the way. 301 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, just so nonchalant. So Mondo the pole vaulta who just. 302 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 3: From a completely different country. 303 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: Completely different country from Sweden, not Turkey, but decided to 304 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: mimic the Turkish assassin and put his hand up and 305 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: it was just like pretending that he was there with 306 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: the gun, his arm raised like he was holding a 307 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: gun in nod to one of the icons of the game. 308 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 3: And Mondo is one of the icons of the game 309 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 3: in the fact that he's almost like Madonna in athletic circles. 310 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 3: You don't need to say his surname. He's just Mondo. 311 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and he's he's allowed to do what ever 312 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: he once basically, that's that's what that means. 313 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 3: Again, casual world record that you knew was going to happen. 314 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 3: That was his to back up his gold. 315 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, that he cleared so easily anyway, good. 316 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: News for us as well, though, Tory Lewis, after you 317 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: so eloquently explained what a reper charge was yesterday. 318 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 3: We might not particularly love the reperchange, we love the reperchange, 319 00:15:58,160 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 3: love the. 320 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: Reper charge on our gravestones. We love that rap hat charge. 321 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 2: Let it be known. 322 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: Because Tory lewis our girl, Tory, we told you that 323 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: she had done a PB but finished fourth in her 324 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: eight of the two hundred meters. 325 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 2: She was coming back for the repper charge and I 326 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 2: tell you what she's through. 327 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 3: She won it and Ozzie finished first. That's what we 328 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 3: saw in a race in Paris. We will take it. 329 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 2: We will take it. 330 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: She then did finish seventh in her semi final. But 331 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: what we need to remember is that we won the 332 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: repper charge. 333 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 2: That's what we remember.

The fact that there are wave 415 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 3: simulators and they're not used at the Games blows my mind. 416 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 3: Wouldn't you just have a simulated perfect wave and it's like, 417 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 3: what's the best that you let's control the controllable. 418 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: There should be a trick, you know, in skateboarding.

Yeah, they should do that 420 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 1: in the surfing in a wave and the wave could. 421 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 3: Just be a ramp. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. I'm sure 422 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 3: that people putting their hands up to host the games 423 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 3: are like, we need to organize a pool? Is that 424 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 3: the question? But I'm glazing over the thing over the 425 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 3: main topic year because Jack Robinson, when he was up 426 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 3: against Medina, we're like, well, it's been fun, yeah, it 427 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 3: has been fun. But the final scores were twelve point 428 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 3: three to three against six point three three because Medina 429 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 3: just couldn't get another wave. And all you can do 430 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 3: is play the conditions as they lie. 431 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 2: That's it, that's it. And when those conditions over the 432 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 2: Australian's great condition. 433 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 3: I mean he is up against a Frenchman. So let's 434 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 3: just see some of this plays out. So again, as 435 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 3: as we record, we don't know the result, but it 436 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 3: is so exciting that another gold and or silver. 437 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: I feel like there was me being you know, like 438 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: when you have the angel and the devil on your 439 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,719 Speaker 1: shoulders talking to you.

It's not an 607 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: alibi or an excuse. It's the reality of what perhaps 608 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: not everyone knows. So he's absolutely had jack of the 609 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: athlete's village. He's taking a sleeping outside and. 610 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 3: You have to see the photo to understand how comical 611 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 3: it is, because he's in his Italian uniform. Yeah, he's 612 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 3: in full tracksuit, curled up because he's quite a tall man. Yeah, yeah, 613 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 3: behind a bench. 614 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 1: There's part of me that would be like, sorry, is 615 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: this a new campaign for Louis Vuitton, Like what are 616 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: you doing? 617 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 3: What do we do? 618 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:01,959 Speaker 2: What's happening? What's happening here? Direction derelict, It's derelict. I'm confused. 619 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 2: I'm confused. 620 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 3: So basically he is a meme that has gone around 621 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 3: the world being like when you're just built to be 622 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 3: a model but unfortunately have to go to a game. 623 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: I love it. And my other really quick fact, fun 624 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: fact that tell me, because I know that she has 625 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: another one as well, is the fact you actually brought 626 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: this to my attention. We learnt this morning that goats 627 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: can bow. Isn't that wild? Like, isn't that crazy? Because 628 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: in the gymnastics, Simone Biles one silver. She won silver 629 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 1: in the floor for her floor routine. Her American teammate 630 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: Jordan Chiles Charles and Biles she finished bronze, so she 631 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: came third, but it was the Brazilian athlete Rebecca and 632 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: Rada who finished on top of the dias And can 633 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: I just say Simone and Jordan they bowed to her 634 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: when she won her gold, which was such a lovely 635 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: moment of sportswomanship. 636 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 3: It's a beautiful photo. If there's an iconic photo that 637 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 3: isn't Gabriel Medina floating, I think it is going to 638 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 3: be the podium and the man of respect that those 639 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 3: girls have for each other. The sportsmanship is amazing. My 640 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 3: fun fact has to do with silver and gold. Did 641 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 3: you know that only one percent of the game's gold 642 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 3: medal is gold and at the very first games it 643 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 3: was one hundred percent gold. 644 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 2: Oh my god, the athletes, they cau't get any money. 645 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 3: Well can you imagine the Fox family being able to 646 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 3: melt that downe Penith. That could get them a house 647 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 3: right near the training facility if you don't mind. But 648 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 3: they do need to be ninety two point five percent silver, 649 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 3: So there is a mandate sent to countries if they're 650 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 3: going to be the host nation, they need to be 651 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 3: at least ninety two percent solid silver all of the medals, 652 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 3: and then they're plated gold. But I just didn't realize 653 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 3: at the very very first games you got a solid 654 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 3: gold nugget, that's part of your gift. 655 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 2: In matt God, you'd get even more competitive maybe if 656 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 2: they brought that back. 657 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know if you heard Thorpy and commentary, 658 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 3: but apparently they rust over time. They rust if you 659 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 3: touch them too often. John was saying that hers wasn't 660 00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 3: in the best condition. 661 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: I also think that athletes really do need to just 662 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,959 Speaker 1: be putting them on display, do you know what I mean? 663 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 1: Like I don't want them in draws.
