And they were just coming off nationals where they 205 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 3: weren't competing together because they're not in the same age division. 206 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 3: So we've seen them do so well in Perth, we've 207 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,719 Speaker 3: seen them race against each other at the Mury Plant me. 208 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 3: But this the Stall Gift on over one hundred and twenty, 209 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 3: which is going to favor Gout. Yes, because he's over 210 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 3: a longer distance. He seems to really wind up. Where's 211 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 3: Locky Burst out of the blox? Who's going to win. 212 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: The ultimate rivalry? 213 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 2: We are going to have a deciding race and we 214 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 2: will know once and. 215 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 3: For all who is the fastest man and we get 216 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 3: to watch it eating chocolate. Yes, it always happens over 217 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 3: the Easter weekend, so this is the perfect And also 218 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 3: it's Bruce mcaveany, it's Tamsa Manu, It's Jason Richardson, who 219 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 3: we love, who's a formal winner doing the boundary. It's 220 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 3: just Dave Colbert. This feels to me like an Australian Olympics. 221 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: It is an Australian Olympics. 222 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 2: And I was so excited to follow every single second 223 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 2: of this day and this event unfold and listeners. 224 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 3: If you're not someone who like us, was weirdly into 225 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 3: this foot race, let me give you a bit of 226 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 3: a context. The store Gift used to be called the 227 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,079 Speaker 3: Easter Gift and has been run every year except for 228 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 3: five since eighteen seventy eight, so it has only been 229 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 3: stopped by a couple of world Wars and a little 230 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 3: thing got COVID. But it is one of the most 231 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,719 Speaker 3: prize sporting events in the country, and it's one of 232 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 3: those things that if you are a sprinter, you really 233 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,719 Speaker 3: deeply care about who wins the stall, and once you're 234 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 3: a winner, you're up in lights forever. 235 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: Yes. 236 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 2: Yes, it's something that I remember covering as a young 237 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 2: journal when I just started, and I remember thinking, now, 238 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 2: how much of like you know, are people aware of this? 239 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 2: Is it just because I work in this field and 240 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 2: I followed this race. I remember when it came to 241 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 2: the finals and stall gift day every single time in 242 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 2: the newsroom, and it would be everyone just crowds around 243 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 2: your desk, yes, because they want to see what's going 244 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 2: on and what's happening. It's the fifteen seconds, let's say, 245 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 2: where everyone cares about running. 246 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 3: It feels decidedly amateur because it is. It's amateur athletes 247 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 3: taking on professionals. So you do have these athletes that 248 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 3: you would have seen at the Olympics that are our 249 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 3: national champions that sometimes and it's also an invitational they 250 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 3: sometimes have athletes come from all around the world to compete, 251 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 3: but it's on grass as opposed to a synthetic surface, 252 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 3: which I've heard it described as if you're going to 253 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,079 Speaker 3: put like ten units of energy in Usually, if you're 254 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 3: on a synthetic track, you might get eight out in 255 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 3: terms of bounce. Oh, whereas if you're on this. 256 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: You lost me with the science. 257 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 3: I was like, what, well, I've heard Jason Richardson describe 258 00:11:58,640 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 3: it this way, so it must be true. But then 259 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 3: if if you put that much energy into grass, anyone 260 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 3: who runs on grass will tell you don't bounce back up. 261 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: I don't bounce on anything. But yes, yes, the grass. 262 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 3: I find it a completely different technique where you sort 263 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 3: of instead of putting pushing off, you need to sort 264 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 3: of skim over the top. 265 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: Oh geez, okay, because it's different. 266 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 3: It's like running on sand ryes. Do you know that? 267 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 2: Most recently, sorry to go off on a little tangent here, 268 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 2: I figured out that I don't run properly. It will shock, 269 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 2: you know, because I don't think I push off on anything. 270 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 2: So you're talking about this, I think I just run 271 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 2: up and down. 272 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:30,959 Speaker 3: Oh no, you've got to push off. 273 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 1: I don't. That's really hard. 274 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 2: Because then I was like, maybe I'll just run a 275 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 2: little bit trying to do. You're the balls of your 276 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 2: feet at least, yeah, I am, but just up and 277 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,959 Speaker 2: down like it's like I'm essentially a pogo stick, is 278 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 2: what I've figured out. And I try, and then I 279 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 2: was like, okay, actually, hang on, let's propel myself forward 280 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 2: out of breath within three strides. 281 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: I was like, well, but anyway, the stall gift is 282 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: not about me. 283 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 3: We digress, so we get to the stall gift that 284 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 3: is being headlined by these two now too. But let's 285 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 3: be honest. One seventeen year old superstar. 286 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 2: And household names like Gout gou Everyone knows goutgaut now 287 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 2: you know it's We've been talking about him for a. 288 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: Little while on this podcast. 289 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 2: Well done as but like Gout Gout has just infiltrated 290 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 2: every single Australian home. 291 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 3: And then, in one of the great travesties and tragedies, 292 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 3: neither Gout nor Locky make the final I think. 293 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 2: I when the news came through that neither of them 294 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 2: had qualified for the final, I messaged you immediately. 295 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 3: That vitriol and I was so mad. 296 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: I was like, something has gone terribly wrong? What is 297 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: going on here? 298 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 2: Because as a spectacle as the centerpiece for the sport 299 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 2: as a centerpiece for the event. You want your strongest 300 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 2: runners in the final. And I understand handicap racing. I 301 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 2: understand that it is. 302 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 3: Handicap racing is so difficult to get your head around, 303 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 3: and I've really tried, and there are still nuances in 304 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 3: terms of bonuses that the amateur athletes can get in 305 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 3: their times in qualifying for a race like the Stall 306 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 3: Gift that blow my mind a little bit. 307 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 2: But I understand that at its heart, you're essentially wanting 308 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 2: to see the amateurs up against the big names. I 309 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 2: get that, because you want it's almost like the Fa Cup, right, 310 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 2: It's the Fa Cup of running. But you still need 311 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 2: the best athletes there in order to create the best race. 312 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 2: You need them to be able to make it to 313 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 2: the final. But you're right, Jelmy, I have been going 314 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 2: through exactly when this happened. 315 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: I've been out. 316 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 2: I would call myself a semi expert on handicapping. That's 317 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 2: not noxymore, because you are right, there are a lot 318 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 2: of intricacies that the general running fan maybe just comes 319 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 2: into attention every time there's an Olympics or a stall 320 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 2: Gift would miss. When it comes to this yes, and 321 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 2: one of those being you're right. The amateur circuit for runners, 322 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 2: they can compete in different events and if they do well, 323 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 2: that means that they will have meters taken off the race. 324 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 2: So if you start out with one hundred and twenty meters, 325 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 2: that is what the stall gifts sprint length is. And 326 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 2: if you take one hundred and twenty meters, yes, and 327 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 2: say you're starting at a nine point seventy five meters, 328 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 2: that means that you move your starting block forward nine 329 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 2: point seventy five, so you're only running one hundred and 330 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 2: ten point twenty five God mass, well done, Mas, that's 331 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,239 Speaker 2: now your distance. So someone starting from scratch's running. 332 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 3: The full hundred and twenty, which is what we saw 333 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 3: in the women's where Brie Rizzo came from the absolute 334 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 3: clouds and one from scratch. So we saw the example 335 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 3: in the women's of how handicapping can be done right 336 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 3: because her run was fantastic. We know that she made 337 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 3: a semifinal in the Olympics, so you had this Olympic 338 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 3: level runner up against amateurs, so they had to basically 339 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 3: put away you know what it can be likened to 340 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 3: horse racing, yes, where they do put different weights on 341 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 3: different horses to try to make it even in a 342 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 3: handicap So that's basically what they're doing here, but in 343 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 3: distance right. 344 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 2: Yes, I've heard that the goal for handicappers when it 345 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 2: comes to the men's race is that you're wanting everyone 346 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 2: to finish the same time and you're looking for a 347 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 2: time about twelve point two five seconds. 348 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: Yes, benk over one hundred and twenty and. 349 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 3: So since then we have had Locki Kennedy's coach come 350 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 3: out and essentially say, look, I know that there's a 351 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 3: lot of outcry about this, but at the end of 352 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 3: the day, when you have a winner at John Evans, 353 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 3: this is his Olympics. Yes, this is what he's been 354 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 3: tapering for training for. This is his mecha. This what 355 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 3: he's dreamt of winning. You've got Lockie and Gout who 356 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 3: get paid very handsomely to be there, but they were 357 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 3: looking at nationals, so they're not tapering their training, they're 358 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 3: not specializing on these softer tracks in order to optimize 359 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 3: their performance over that distance. So it goes both. But 360 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 3: I'm with you in that it was on freeware TV. Yes, 361 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 3: it was another show piece for Australian Athletics that was 362 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 3: just for mine, you need to at least slightly ring 363 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 3: it just so that they get into the final. 364 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 2: Also, maybe just take into consideration the conditions. Like before 365 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 2: Gout and Lockie Kennedy raced, it was essentially a swim, 366 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 2: it was trential, and also the handicap is based on 367 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 2: the runners too fast at times that season I believe 368 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 2: averaged out and that's where you at least start in 369 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 2: terms of how you handicap the full heat. Once again 370 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 2: track versus you know, the grass, and then you've got 371 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 2: the rain. 372 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 3: And amateurs and pros and it's slightly. 373 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 2: Uphill, yeah, slightly uphill, you're on a gradient, yeah yeah, 374 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 2: and upward gradient, so they're sprinting uphill. 375 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 3: Sorry, I'm if I'm Bree Rizzo and I'm looking at 376 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 3: the back of someone who's ten meters ahead of me 377 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 3: on a slight incline on a surface that I don't 378 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 3: usually run on. I'm like, I don't need to be 379 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 3: doing this, and I don't need to be doing this 380 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 3: on television. I'll give you the hot tip. Yes, probably 381 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 3: why I'm not nothing. 382 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 2: I I know, I know, but I think that there 383 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 2: is an argument, and I mean the head handicappers said 384 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 2: himself that maybe will revisiting it where you just really 385 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 2: do have to see if you're giving too much of 386 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 2: a handicap away at the set, like for the back bass, 387 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 2: like I mean it's it's they were gout was flying harh. 388 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, don't get me wrong. And Lockey Kennedy did well 389 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 1: in his eer. 390 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 3: Shots of his heat was just beautiful. 391 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 1: It was incredible. 392 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 2: But you still want to have your best races competing 393 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 2: in the final. So obviously, and this is no disrespect 394 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 2: to John Evans, he deserved that win, but something has 395 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 2: gone wrong. 396 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 3: Yeah John Evans, who's a school teacher. Yeah yeah, who 397 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 3: can now say that he beat Locky Kennedy and gowgut 398 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 3: that he's going to see running in the Olympics. That's 399 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 3: the beauty of this. 400 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 2: Can you imagine going into your class and every one 401 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 2: of them would just be like, oh my god, how 402 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 2: was gout? 403 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 3: Gout? 404 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: And he's like, well ie won. But yeah, it's really cool. 405 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 3: I don't even know that he teaches sport. Oh yeah, no, 406 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 3: I don't think I don't think he does. She looks 407 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 3: like a bizarre, bizarre alignment. But one of the favorite 408 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,439 Speaker 3: stories to come out of me is the fact that 409 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 3: Brie Rizzo's now won and her husband was the winner, yes, 410 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 3: Matt riezoz back in twenty seventeen, and the fact that 411 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 3: they met after the after party of the twenty nineteen 412 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,679 Speaker 3: store gift, which is when she actually decided to focus 413 00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 3: on track running at all. And his pickup line, you 414 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 3: only get one shot with the Riz that was That's 415 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,399 Speaker 3: a direct quote of what the pickup line was. Do 416 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 3: you think because she said it was mentioned in their vowels? 417 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: Oh no, yeah, that's how. 418 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 3: That's how I know about this. I was listening to 419 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 3: a race and I'm like, oh, Brie, tell me you 420 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 3: put him in his place? 421 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 2: Do we? 422 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 3: Then? 423 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 2: Can we unequivocally say that the Rizzos themselves have actually 424 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 2: coined the frame Riez, don't worry about jen Z, it's them. 425 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,959 Speaker 1: If you have the Riz, you've just got that Rizzo factor. 426 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,919 Speaker 3: Do you know what is perfect is she has Riz. 427 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 3: When you watch that race, you could not Oh my god, 428 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 3: but you couldn't watch anyone else. No, she was captivating 429 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 3: and she got in this zone where I was like, 430 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,199 Speaker 3: I've never been in that zone. Tell me what that 431 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 3: looks like or feels like, because she just there was 432 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 3: a level of performance there. That was just it was 433 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 3: so good to watch. It was so cool and for me, 434 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 3: anytime that you have Bruce mcavani calling a race, it's 435 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 3: a good times. 436 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,919 Speaker 2: It's special.

When 438 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 2: it came to the men the women's race, incredible, Bree 439 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 2: was exceptional. I just think overall incredible for the sports 440 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 2: like that, it would have been packed out. Everyone was watching, 441 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 2: Like imagine every single fan who you know, withstood the 442 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 2: torrential rain to get a glimpse of Gout. 443 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,959 Speaker 1: Gout.

Yeah, 449 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 3: like they're two very different athletes and it's just like 450 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 3: twenty I think it gets him. 451 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so too.

Kathy Freeman nineteen 458 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 2: ninety six. I think she obviously was in like the 459 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 2: four hundred meter event. He starts from fifty four meters 460 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 2: back from the. 461 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,199 Speaker 1: Rest of the field, so she's off. Yeah, she's fifty 462 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 1: four z conic. 463 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 2: That's what the handicap that they that everyone else has, 464 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 2: and she, spoiler wins.

It is amazing. 467 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 3: And again it's when handicapping can be done well, yes, yes, 468 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 3: because it adds to the spectacle of how good she is. 469 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, and also once again just look at her and 470 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: see how. 471 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 2: She's barely puffing at the end, and just ask yourself, wow, 472 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 2: some of us are just. 473 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 3: Bill different different, because ah am not. The four hundred 474 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 3: for me, is the most brutal distance. I hated the 475 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 3: four hundred. 476 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: Oh you think I've attempted it? 477 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 3: Come now, you never did a four hundred at school, 478 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:45,640 Speaker 3: not willingly. 479 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: No, No, I did a two hundred, and I was like, 480 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: that's enough. 481 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 3: I was one of those unfortunate people that was the 482 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 3: best at my school but so far the worst. Add 483 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 3: into schools, so that Elliot, so you'd know, but then 484 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 3: you'd get like, I'd be okay in my year, and 485 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 3: then I'd get to the inter schools. It's a long run. 486 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 3: It's a long when you're getting smoked, when you're giving 487 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 3: away fifty four meters and it's not a handicap. It's 488 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 3: a really feeling last hundred meters. I'll give you the 489 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 3: hot tip. It's like a sprint that feels like it 490 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 3: should be a job. By the time you're getting over 491 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 3: that distance. I just feel like it shouldn't be considered. 492 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 3: That's friends, George, you've got fun back. 493 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 2: I sure do. 494 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 3: I sure do. 495 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 2: It wouldn't be a chat about sprinting or running if 496 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 2: we did not mention the name you Saint Bolt. 497 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: Fun fact Jellmy is that. 498 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 3: You don't know this.
