Speaker 1: Here at two Good Sports.
Speaker 2: We would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the
Speaker 2: land on which we record this podcast. There were innerie people.
Speaker 2: This land was never seated, always was always will be. Hello, Hi,
Speaker 2: how are you welcome to do good sports? Sports news
Speaker 2: sold differently? I'm Georgie.
Speaker 3: He's still not used to you being here and me
Speaker 3: not having to do the intro. It's a beautiful world.
Speaker 2: Look, no hair, I know, I know, but look, it's
Speaker 2: actually been quite a full on week for me, joby
Speaker 2: because there's been a lot of sports news. I'm not
Speaker 2: match fit and I've been trying to like put everything
Speaker 2: into this brain which is struggling able to catch up. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, whoa, there's so much. I've enjoyed it thoroughly,
Speaker 2: but there's a lot of things happening.
Speaker 3: What was the headline for you? What was your biggest
Speaker 3: thing that you watched during the week.
Speaker 2: Biggest thing was watching the Brisbane Broncos absolutely implode once again.
Speaker 1: But other than that, still gift, still gift had.
Speaker 3: To be had to everyone's favorite race that we become
Speaker 3: experts in handicaps sprinting.
Speaker 2: Guilty see I am now I think the all knowing
Speaker 2: factor when it comes to the store gift and I
Speaker 2: have a lot of thoughts.
Speaker 3: We do have a lot of thoughts, and namely the
Speaker 3: fact that the headlines in Goutgut and Lackie Kennedy didn't
Speaker 3: even make the men's final, but Brerizzo, what a performance
Speaker 3: it was from her. So the best example of when
Speaker 3: handicapping goes right, the best example of when handicapping goes wrong.
Speaker 3: And somewhere in the middle we land in Australia's richest
Speaker 3: foot trace.
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right, and there's so much, there's so
Speaker 2: much to discuss.
Speaker 1: It is a spectacle.
Speaker 3: But before we do that, you know what's time for
Speaker 3: Georgie good sport?
Speaker 1: Good sport.
Speaker 2: The Australian Swimming Championships are happy happening currently. And I
Speaker 2: mean I may have mentioned on this podcast one or
Speaker 2: two times that I consider myself to be an honorary Dolphin.
Speaker 3: On did you befriend Bronchie Campbell?
Speaker 1: I did that.
Speaker 2: I was like as soon as I saw I was like,
Speaker 2: we are the same, like nos, like here we go.
Speaker 1: Game recognizes game. She's gonna be like, have I seen
Speaker 1: you at a junior carnival somewhere? You look like you
Speaker 1: could swim instead. She said, Hi, my name's Bronzie. I
Speaker 1: think that's where we were.
Speaker 2: You know, that was the conversation that I had when
Speaker 2: that eventually goes to where do I have footage of
Speaker 2: Robert Mills attempting to race Bronti Campbell?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I do, I do.
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 2: That's just a little spoiler. Bronti was taking on everyone
Speaker 2: in the amazing race. And look, but there was a
Speaker 2: water leg sometime. There was water somewhere. I can't tell
Speaker 2: you where, but there was water somewhere that we could
Speaker 2: compete against an Olympic.
Speaker 3: Why didn't you nominate?
Speaker 1: Well, because I didn't need to know that.
Speaker 2: You know, game recognizes game jelly, So obviously I don't
Speaker 2: need to compete against Bronti.
Speaker 1: I know, because you know, I know I doesn't know.
Speaker 3: Robert, you get in this television.
Speaker 1: That's crazy, Robert so Yes.
Speaker 2: Continuing on that theme with the Championships happening right now,
Speaker 2: just two special shout outs. One to a friend of
Speaker 2: the pot, Alexa O'Leary. We love her so much. She's
Speaker 2: smashed record and she's just the delight for those of
Speaker 2: you who may not remember, she's the incredible para swimmer
Speaker 2: who did incredible things at the Paralympics.
Speaker 1: I think she won how many goals did she win?
Speaker 3: A lot?
Speaker 2: And she's the leading swimmer in her field and she
Speaker 2: was that one had that wonderful moment in the qualification
Speaker 2: rounds where she goes, I'm just so proud of myself.
Speaker 3: And this is someone who was a star triathlete and
Speaker 3: then had a terrible accident on a bike and left
Speaker 3: her with some physical impairments as well as mental impairments.
Speaker 3: But you would not know. And her dad crying in
Speaker 3: the crowd about the fact that they's been told to
Speaker 3: say goodbye to her and then he's watching her qualify
Speaker 3: for a Paralympics.
Speaker 2: It's it's just the best. So it's great love her.
Speaker 2: She's still informed. She unlike me, has managed to maintain
Speaker 2: her fitness over the course of many, many years, so
Speaker 2: she is doing alexa things. Also, big shout out because
Speaker 2: Cam McAvoy, the professor, one of my faves, fresh off
Speaker 2: his gold medal in the Olympics in the fifty meter freestyle,
Speaker 2: he's absolutely smashed the fifteen meter freestyle earlier on in
Speaker 2: this meet, and he has clocked a time of twenty
Speaker 2: one point four to eight, which is just zero point
Speaker 2: zero five off the fastest time in the world this year.
Speaker 2: He's only recently got back into the pool. And for
Speaker 2: those who may not remember, he does that kind of
Speaker 2: he's one that trains back. Yes, that's stripped back to
Speaker 2: win more and it sounds great and it's working.
Speaker 1: It just keeps on working for him and.
Speaker 3: Kaylee McEwan as well. The fastest time that we've seen
Speaker 3: this year.
Speaker 2: Yes, standard, our Dolphins just continue to do incredible things.
Speaker 1: Those obviously good sports, good sports.
Speaker 3: It feels very Olympic today. Not to quote cool runnings,
Speaker 3: but my good sport bad sport. I'm gonna leave it
Speaker 3: to you, George, to decide if this is a good
Speaker 3: sport or a bad sort.
Speaker 1: I love passing judgment.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, what are you for? You got to your
Speaker 3: school carnival to watch your kid and they are so
Speaker 3: pair of participation, and part of you is like, look,
Speaker 3: it was already hard enough to get here and make
Speaker 3: sure the kids had their shoes. But sure, I'll run
Speaker 3: in one hundred meter. You line up, you'll look to
Speaker 3: your left, you look to your right, and on your right.
Speaker 3: His three time Olympic champion, ten time old champion Shelley
Speaker 3: Anne Fraser Brice, and you just think this isn't where
Speaker 3: I parked my car because the Jamaican superstar and it's
Speaker 3: almost like I need to put some more supers ahead
Speaker 3: of that. We all recognize her as the pint sized,
Speaker 3: wig wearing Jamaican phenomenon in sprinting. Lined up for a
Speaker 3: son's parent one hundred meter run and you have to
Speaker 3: see this footage because it's not so much a race
Speaker 3: as a drone trying to keep her in the shot
Speaker 3: with the other parents. It was just the most phenomenal, brutal,
Speaker 3: no mercy. She hits the full pace and I love
Speaker 3: this quote where she goes, well, they haven't banned me yet,
Speaker 3: so I'm still gonna line up is where a sun
Speaker 3: zion And again the fact that she went away, had
Speaker 3: a kid and then has still returned to be at
Speaker 3: Olympic level. When we saw her in Paris and then
Speaker 3: she had that weird incidence where she missed.
Speaker 2: The bus so odd, it was very it was very,
Speaker 2: very very confusing. Good to see though she's taking it
Speaker 2: out on just regular parents.
Speaker 3: He's a good sport or a bad sports She's very
Speaker 3: good at sport.
Speaker 2: But come on, Shelly, Oh oh, I'm thinking, look for
Speaker 2: me good sport. If I was one of the parents,
Speaker 2: I'm like, come on, just you need to have like
Speaker 2: talk about handicap racing. Start in the next country, Start
Speaker 2: in the next country, and then begin the run and
Speaker 2: I will start at the same time.
Speaker 3: When you watch the footage, and I'm for you to
Speaker 3: google it. She could run on one leg, she could
Speaker 3: have she could have done the triple jump over the
Speaker 3: one hundred and still absolutely annihilated. I just I watched
Speaker 3: it and I was like, oh, to be that good
Speaker 3: at anything and be like here at a school carnival.
Speaker 1: I just want to know what her son like, Zion,
Speaker 1: what's he thinking? There? Is he thinking, go Mama is thinking?
Speaker 2: Oh mom, so embarrassing.
Speaker 3: The great thing is she'd done it previously and smoked them.
Speaker 3: That's the only reason why someone thought we better get
Speaker 3: a drone. We better get a drone to get that
Speaker 3: footage of the hang on.
Speaker 2: I mean, whether or not it was good sport bad sport,
Speaker 2: I want to know whether you would do that, like
Speaker 2: if you were Shelleyanne Fraser Price, There's no way that
Speaker 2: Gelmy is not being like I am putting all the
Speaker 2: burners on and smoking you all.
Speaker 3: Georgie in the duo that is, which of the two
Speaker 3: parents of my children is being nominated the ex athlete,
Speaker 3: Sorry Kate head on in, but I am going to
Speaker 3: be the psycho screaming from the line of because I
Speaker 3: like push everyone. I know him, that parent, I know
Speaker 3: him that parent, low Ribbons. Only this I like and
Speaker 3: why do we want no laugh?
Speaker 2: Look for someone who has been competing in a race
Speaker 2: most recently, and I've learned things about myself, which is
Speaker 2: number one that I'm what you may call unattractively competitive,
Speaker 2: and I.
Speaker 3: Think what you may or what Robert told you after.
Speaker 1: Yeah it could be they could have come up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they could have come up.
Speaker 2: So I feel that both you and I we would
Speaker 2: just be like doing the old Lizzello's Queen Lee's, which
Speaker 2: is elbows at the ready, take your marks, elbows out go.
Speaker 3: I just don't have the skills to back up how
Speaker 3: competitive I am in most things.
Speaker 1: No same here.
Speaker 3: That's where I'm like, I'm desperate to win, but I
Speaker 3: don't want to train.
Speaker 2: Oh well, Shelly and Fraser Price, well done, well done,
Speaker 2: are doing it for us.
Speaker 3: We will post the footage. We'll find it on social
Speaker 3: because it is just it's phenomenal. It brought me so
Speaker 3: much joy, just about as much joy as Alexilary. So
Speaker 3: that were they was some two good sports.
Speaker 1: There, most amazing, most amazing.
Speaker 3: Anyway, should we continue talking about sprinting?
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, we definitely should We definitely sure.
Speaker 3: Let's getting too our main chat now.
Speaker 2: Jell me on my men travels to various desinations that
Speaker 2: I cannot disclose. Remember I said there was one sporting
Speaker 2: story really that was able to kind of get my
Speaker 2: grab my attention and made it overseas, and that was Gout,
Speaker 2: Gout v Locky Kennedy.
Speaker 1: And I tell you what.
Speaker 2: When the store gift came up and they were going
Speaker 2: to be competing, I was like, Yes, this is amazing.
Speaker 2: The entirety of the country, not just Abby jellmy cares
Speaker 2: about track and field.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be amazing.
Speaker 3: Wow. And they were just coming off nationals where they
Speaker 3: weren't competing together because they're not in the same age division.
Speaker 3: So we've seen them do so well in Perth, we've
Speaker 3: seen them race against each other at the Mury Plant me.
Speaker 3: But this the Stall Gift on over one hundred and twenty,
Speaker 3: which is going to favor Gout. Yes, because he's over
Speaker 3: a longer distance. He seems to really wind up. Where's
Speaker 3: Locky Burst out of the blox? Who's going to win.
Speaker 1: The ultimate rivalry?
Speaker 2: We are going to have a deciding race and we
Speaker 2: will know once and.
Speaker 3: For all who is the fastest man and we get
Speaker 3: to watch it eating chocolate. Yes, it always happens over
Speaker 3: the Easter weekend, so this is the perfect And also
Speaker 3: it's Bruce mcaveany, it's Tamsa Manu, It's Jason Richardson, who
Speaker 3: we love, who's a formal winner doing the boundary. It's
Speaker 3: just Dave Colbert. This feels to me like an Australian Olympics.
Speaker 1: It is an Australian Olympics.
Speaker 2: And I was so excited to follow every single second
Speaker 2: of this day and this event unfold and listeners.
Speaker 3: If you're not someone who like us, was weirdly into
Speaker 3: this foot race, let me give you a bit of
Speaker 3: a context. The store Gift used to be called the
Speaker 3: Easter Gift and has been run every year except for
Speaker 3: five since eighteen seventy eight, so it has only been
Speaker 3: stopped by a couple of world Wars and a little
Speaker 3: thing got COVID. But it is one of the most
Speaker 3: prize sporting events in the country, and it's one of
Speaker 3: those things that if you are a sprinter, you really
Speaker 3: deeply care about who wins the stall, and once you're
Speaker 3: a winner, you're up in lights forever.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's something that I remember covering as a young
Speaker 2: journal when I just started, and I remember thinking, now,
Speaker 2: how much of like you know, are people aware of this?
Speaker 2: Is it just because I work in this field and
Speaker 2: I followed this race. I remember when it came to
Speaker 2: the finals and stall gift day every single time in
Speaker 2: the newsroom, and it would be everyone just crowds around
Speaker 2: your desk, yes, because they want to see what's going
Speaker 2: on and what's happening. It's the fifteen seconds, let's say,
Speaker 2: where everyone cares about running.
Speaker 3: It feels decidedly amateur because it is. It's amateur athletes
Speaker 3: taking on professionals. So you do have these athletes that
Speaker 3: you would have seen at the Olympics that are our
Speaker 3: national champions that sometimes and it's also an invitational they
Speaker 3: sometimes have athletes come from all around the world to compete,
Speaker 3: but it's on grass as opposed to a synthetic surface,
Speaker 3: which I've heard it described as if you're going to
Speaker 3: put like ten units of energy in Usually, if you're
Speaker 3: on a synthetic track, you might get eight out in
Speaker 3: terms of bounce. Oh, whereas if you're on this.
Speaker 1: You lost me with the science.
Speaker 3: I was like, what, well, I've heard Jason Richardson describe
Speaker 3: it this way, so it must be true. But then
Speaker 3: if if you put that much energy into grass, anyone
Speaker 3: who runs on grass will tell you don't bounce back up.
Speaker 1: I don't bounce on anything. But yes, yes, the grass.
Speaker 3: I find it a completely different technique where you sort
Speaker 3: of instead of putting pushing off, you need to sort
Speaker 3: of skim over the top.
Speaker 1: Oh geez, okay, because it's different.
Speaker 3: It's like running on sand ryes. Do you know that?
Speaker 2: Most recently, sorry to go off on a little tangent here,
Speaker 2: I figured out that I don't run properly. It will shock,
Speaker 2: you know, because I don't think I push off on anything.
Speaker 2: So you're talking about this, I think I just run
Speaker 2: up and down.
Speaker 3: Oh no, you've got to push off.
Speaker 1: I don't. That's really hard.
Speaker 2: Because then I was like, maybe I'll just run a
Speaker 2: little bit trying to do. You're the balls of your
Speaker 2: feet at least, yeah, I am, but just up and
Speaker 2: down like it's like I'm essentially a pogo stick, is
Speaker 2: what I've figured out. And I try, and then I
Speaker 2: was like, okay, actually, hang on, let's propel myself forward
Speaker 2: out of breath within three strides.
Speaker 1: I was like, well, but anyway, the stall gift is
Speaker 1: not about me.
Speaker 3: We digress, so we get to the stall gift that
Speaker 3: is being headlined by these two now too. But let's
Speaker 3: be honest. One seventeen year old superstar.
Speaker 2: And household names like Gout gou Everyone knows goutgaut now
Speaker 2: you know it's We've been talking about him for a.
Speaker 1: Little while on this podcast.
Speaker 2: Well done as but like Gout Gout has just infiltrated
Speaker 2: every single Australian home.
Speaker 3: And then, in one of the great travesties and tragedies,
Speaker 3: neither Gout nor Locky make the final I think.
Speaker 2: I when the news came through that neither of them
Speaker 2: had qualified for the final, I messaged you immediately.
Speaker 3: That vitriol and I was so mad.
Speaker 1: I was like, something has gone terribly wrong? What is
Speaker 1: going on here?
Speaker 2: Because as a spectacle as the centerpiece for the sport
Speaker 2: as a centerpiece for the event. You want your strongest
Speaker 2: runners in the final. And I understand handicap racing. I
Speaker 2: understand that it is.
Speaker 3: Handicap racing is so difficult to get your head around,
Speaker 3: and I've really tried, and there are still nuances in
Speaker 3: terms of bonuses that the amateur athletes can get in
Speaker 3: their times in qualifying for a race like the Stall
Speaker 3: Gift that blow my mind a little bit.
Speaker 2: But I understand that at its heart, you're essentially wanting
Speaker 2: to see the amateurs up against the big names. I
Speaker 2: get that, because you want it's almost like the Fa Cup, right,
Speaker 2: It's the Fa Cup of running. But you still need
Speaker 2: the best athletes there in order to create the best race.
Speaker 2: You need them to be able to make it to
Speaker 2: the final. But you're right, Jelmy, I have been going
Speaker 2: through exactly when this happened.
Speaker 1: I've been out.
Speaker 2: I would call myself a semi expert on handicapping. That's
Speaker 2: not noxymore, because you are right, there are a lot
Speaker 2: of intricacies that the general running fan maybe just comes
Speaker 2: into attention every time there's an Olympics or a stall
Speaker 2: Gift would miss. When it comes to this yes, and
Speaker 2: one of those being you're right. The amateur circuit for runners,
Speaker 2: they can compete in different events and if they do well,
Speaker 2: that means that they will have meters taken off the race.
Speaker 2: So if you start out with one hundred and twenty meters,
Speaker 2: that is what the stall gifts sprint length is. And
Speaker 2: if you take one hundred and twenty meters, yes, and
Speaker 2: say you're starting at a nine point seventy five meters,
Speaker 2: that means that you move your starting block forward nine
Speaker 2: point seventy five, so you're only running one hundred and
Speaker 2: ten point twenty five God mass, well done, Mas, that's
Speaker 2: now your distance. So someone starting from scratch's running.
Speaker 3: The full hundred and twenty, which is what we saw
Speaker 3: in the women's where Brie Rizzo came from the absolute
Speaker 3: clouds and one from scratch. So we saw the example
Speaker 3: in the women's of how handicapping can be done right
Speaker 3: because her run was fantastic. We know that she made
Speaker 3: a semifinal in the Olympics, so you had this Olympic
Speaker 3: level runner up against amateurs, so they had to basically
Speaker 3: put away you know what it can be likened to
Speaker 3: horse racing, yes, where they do put different weights on
Speaker 3: different horses to try to make it even in a
Speaker 3: handicap So that's basically what they're doing here, but in
Speaker 3: distance right.
Speaker 2: Yes, I've heard that the goal for handicappers when it
Speaker 2: comes to the men's race is that you're wanting everyone
Speaker 2: to finish the same time and you're looking for a
Speaker 2: time about twelve point two five seconds.
Speaker 1: Yes, benk over one hundred and twenty and.
Speaker 3: So since then we have had Locki Kennedy's coach come
Speaker 3: out and essentially say, look, I know that there's a
Speaker 3: lot of outcry about this, but at the end of
Speaker 3: the day, when you have a winner at John Evans,
Speaker 3: this is his Olympics. Yes, this is what he's been
Speaker 3: tapering for training for. This is his mecha. This what
Speaker 3: he's dreamt of winning. You've got Lockie and Gout who
Speaker 3: get paid very handsomely to be there, but they were
Speaker 3: looking at nationals, so they're not tapering their training, they're
Speaker 3: not specializing on these softer tracks in order to optimize
Speaker 3: their performance over that distance. So it goes both. But
Speaker 3: I'm with you in that it was on freeware TV. Yes,
Speaker 3: it was another show piece for Australian Athletics that was
Speaker 3: just for mine, you need to at least slightly ring
Speaker 3: it just so that they get into the final.
Speaker 2: Also, maybe just take into consideration the conditions. Like before
Speaker 2: Gout and Lockie Kennedy raced, it was essentially a swim,
Speaker 2: it was trential, and also the handicap is based on
Speaker 2: the runners too fast at times that season I believe
Speaker 2: averaged out and that's where you at least start in
Speaker 2: terms of how you handicap the full heat. Once again
Speaker 2: track versus you know, the grass, and then you've got
Speaker 2: the rain.
Speaker 3: And amateurs and pros and it's slightly.
Speaker 2: Uphill, yeah, slightly uphill, you're on a gradient, yeah yeah,
Speaker 2: and upward gradient, so they're sprinting uphill.
Speaker 3: Sorry, I'm if I'm Bree Rizzo and I'm looking at
Speaker 3: the back of someone who's ten meters ahead of me
Speaker 3: on a slight incline on a surface that I don't
Speaker 3: usually run on. I'm like, I don't need to be
Speaker 3: doing this, and I don't need to be doing this
Speaker 3: on television. I'll give you the hot tip. Yes, probably
Speaker 3: why I'm not nothing.
Speaker 2: I I know, I know, but I think that there
Speaker 2: is an argument, and I mean the head handicappers said
Speaker 2: himself that maybe will revisiting it where you just really
Speaker 2: do have to see if you're giving too much of
Speaker 2: a handicap away at the set, like for the back bass,
Speaker 2: like I mean it's it's they were gout was flying harh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't get me wrong. And Lockey Kennedy did well
Speaker 1: in his eer.
Speaker 3: Shots of his heat was just beautiful.
Speaker 1: It was incredible.
Speaker 2: But you still want to have your best races competing
Speaker 2: in the final. So obviously, and this is no disrespect
Speaker 2: to John Evans, he deserved that win, but something has
Speaker 2: gone wrong.
Speaker 3: Yeah John Evans, who's a school teacher. Yeah yeah, who
Speaker 3: can now say that he beat Locky Kennedy and gowgut
Speaker 3: that he's going to see running in the Olympics. That's
Speaker 3: the beauty of this.
Speaker 2: Can you imagine going into your class and every one
Speaker 2: of them would just be like, oh my god, how
Speaker 2: was gout?
Speaker 3: Gout?
Speaker 1: And he's like, well ie won. But yeah, it's really cool.
Speaker 3: I don't even know that he teaches sport. Oh yeah, no,
Speaker 3: I don't think I don't think he does. She looks
Speaker 3: like a bizarre, bizarre alignment. But one of the favorite
Speaker 3: stories to come out of me is the fact that
Speaker 3: Brie Rizzo's now won and her husband was the winner, yes,
Speaker 3: Matt riezoz back in twenty seventeen, and the fact that
Speaker 3: they met after the after party of the twenty nineteen
Speaker 3: store gift, which is when she actually decided to focus
Speaker 3: on track running at all. And his pickup line, you
Speaker 3: only get one shot with the Riz that was That's
Speaker 3: a direct quote of what the pickup line was. Do
Speaker 3: you think because she said it was mentioned in their vowels?
Speaker 1: Oh no, yeah, that's how.
Speaker 3: That's how I know about this. I was listening to
Speaker 3: a race and I'm like, oh, Brie, tell me you
Speaker 3: put him in his place?
Speaker 2: Do we?
Speaker 3: Then?
Speaker 2: Can we unequivocally say that the Rizzos themselves have actually
Speaker 2: coined the frame Riez, don't worry about jen Z, it's them.
Speaker 1: If you have the Riz, you've just got that Rizzo factor.
Speaker 3: Do you know what is perfect is she has Riz.
Speaker 3: When you watch that race, you could not Oh my god,
Speaker 3: but you couldn't watch anyone else. No, she was captivating
Speaker 3: and she got in this zone where I was like,
Speaker 3: I've never been in that zone. Tell me what that
Speaker 3: looks like or feels like, because she just there was
Speaker 3: a level of performance there. That was just it was
Speaker 3: so good to watch. It was so cool and for me,
Speaker 3: anytime that you have Bruce mcavani calling a race, it's
Speaker 3: a good times.
Speaker 2: It's special. And that's why I was well done, thank you.
Speaker 2: That's why I just wish that the in itself. When
Speaker 2: it came to the men the women's race, incredible, Bree
Speaker 2: was exceptional. I just think overall incredible for the sports
Speaker 2: like that, it would have been packed out. Everyone was watching,
Speaker 2: Like imagine every single fan who you know, withstood the
Speaker 2: torrential rain to get a glimpse of Gout.
Speaker 1: Gout. You know, it's just they will live with that forever.
Speaker 3: But give me the pair of it. Give me over
Speaker 3: one twenty.
Speaker 1: I wanted to see it.
Speaker 2: The same handicapped because what we saw.
Speaker 3: Was that Gout was coming at the Morrow Plant. Yeah,
Speaker 3: like they're two very different athletes and it's just like
Speaker 3: twenty I think it gets him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so too. I think so too.
Speaker 2: And I just look maybe next year, maybe next year,
Speaker 2: you know, unless Gout might be off tackling Noah Lyle,
Speaker 2: so we'll see our mate, our mate Noah also just
Speaker 2: af I would love to give a recommendation for our
Speaker 2: dear listeners, who if you are, if this has piqued
Speaker 2: your interest in the store gift search. Kathy Freeman nineteen
Speaker 2: ninety six. I think she obviously was in like the
Speaker 2: four hundred meter event. He starts from fifty four meters
Speaker 2: back from the.
Speaker 1: Rest of the field, so she's off. Yeah, she's fifty
Speaker 1: four z conic.
Speaker 2: That's what the handicap that they that everyone else has,
Speaker 2: and she, spoiler wins. So just do yourself a favor,
Speaker 2: go watch that. It is amazing. This is pre the
Speaker 2: four hundred meters in Sydney. It is amazing.
Speaker 3: And again it's when handicapping can be done well, yes, yes,
Speaker 3: because it adds to the spectacle of how good she is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and also once again just look at her and
Speaker 1: see how.
Speaker 2: She's barely puffing at the end, and just ask yourself, wow,
Speaker 2: some of us are just.
Speaker 3: Bill different different, because ah am not. The four hundred
Speaker 3: for me, is the most brutal distance. I hated the
Speaker 3: four hundred.
Speaker 1: Oh you think I've attempted it?
Speaker 3: Come now, you never did a four hundred at school,
Speaker 3: not willingly.
Speaker 1: No, No, I did a two hundred, and I was like,
Speaker 1: that's enough.
Speaker 3: I was one of those unfortunate people that was the
Speaker 3: best at my school but so far the worst. Add
Speaker 3: into schools, so that Elliot, so you'd know, but then
Speaker 3: you'd get like, I'd be okay in my year, and
Speaker 3: then I'd get to the inter schools. It's a long run.
Speaker 3: It's a long when you're getting smoked, when you're giving
Speaker 3: away fifty four meters and it's not a handicap. It's
Speaker 3: a really feeling last hundred meters. I'll give you the
Speaker 3: hot tip. It's like a sprint that feels like it
Speaker 3: should be a job. By the time you're getting over
Speaker 3: that distance. I just feel like it shouldn't be considered.
Speaker 3: That's friends, George, you've got fun back.
Speaker 2: I sure do.
Speaker 3: I sure do.
Speaker 2: It wouldn't be a chat about sprinting or running if
Speaker 2: we did not mention the name you Saint Bolt.
Speaker 1: Fun fact Jellmy is that.
Speaker 3: You don't know this. He's got a lot of mentions
Speaker 3: this season. By the way, we basically could be a
Speaker 3: U Same Bolt Specialist podcast.
Speaker 1: Do you want me to Okay?
Speaker 3: It's because Murphy talked about the time where a friend
Speaker 3: decided to plump herself down on a table and say
Speaker 3: do you mind if we sit here? And this guy
Speaker 3: was like yeah, no worries. Then Murphy came up with
Speaker 3: the drinks and the guy was Usain Bold. No, and
Speaker 3: they've just sat on the table with the world's fastest runner.
Speaker 3: And then Laurence Birway told us about the time that
Speaker 3: a friend of hers was in a bath club with
Speaker 3: him or like something sort of spa. So we don't
Speaker 3: mean to be very Usain Bolt centric. We just have been.
Speaker 3: We just to be there's a catch up and if
Speaker 3: you haven't listened to it, that's picture's interest listeners go back.
Speaker 2: Well, now I want to contact Murphy and ask what
Speaker 2: Usain Bolt was eating because fun fact, at the two
Speaker 2: thousand and eight Olympics in Beijing, Usain Bolt ate only
Speaker 2: and I mean only chicken nuggets.
Speaker 1: For ten days.
Speaker 3: No, yes, no.
Speaker 2: So while he was there beating everyone in the world,
Speaker 2: in beaging all the things in Beijing, he ate. He
Speaker 2: would say thousands of chicken nuggets, maybe one hundred a
Speaker 2: day because for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, that's all he
Speaker 2: had chicken nuggets and water.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my kind of man.
Speaker 3: I just firstly, how's your intergestion?
Speaker 1: Well, this is why he did it vault.
Speaker 2: He did it because when he first got there, he
Speaker 2: had a Chinese meal and in his own book, you
Speaker 2: would say, and it's not like we do Chinese, it's
Speaker 2: proper Chinese food, and it didn't really sit well with me.
Speaker 2: So he refused to risk it. It's so he's like,
Speaker 2: so no chicken cash you. So he's like, I'm not
Speaker 2: risking it. Better just eat a million nuggets and that
Speaker 2: powered him.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry his results. He was Olympic champion off nuggets.
Speaker 2: Yeah, fastest man in the world off chicken nuggets. I
Speaker 2: can do anything, guys, if you just believe or is
Speaker 2: he just but.
Speaker 3: Even a nugget handicap doesn't because you can't you kind
Speaker 3: of optimum performance off a nugget.
Speaker 2: Well, no, I mean but water to water too, you know,
Speaker 2: a ration diet chicken nuggets and water.
Speaker 1: That's how good he was was That's.
Speaker 3: What most toddlers are running off and they're going, okay,
Speaker 3: but that's wild.
Speaker 1: I know, fun fact, a bit of fun.
Speaker 3: How do you have abs with chicken nuggets?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: This is a question I've been asking myself my entire life.
Speaker 3: Where are they?
Speaker 1: Where are they.
Speaker 2: Get bolt home at doing everything I can, everything I can.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm implementing you send a bolt.
Speaker 3: Diet to the d to the nuggets and water. That's
Speaker 3: that's so strange, that's so strange for mine. But I

Speaker 3: kind of sick. Sure, thank you for listening to just
Speaker 3: very unhinged and very impassioned episode of Two Good Sports.

Speaker 3: Be Sport
