1
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Rap, a weekly podcast covering women's sports news.

2
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 2: Mills. What have we got this week?

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 3: Taking a look around the grounds, Ash Barty has maintained

4
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 3: her number one ranking for the third year in a row.

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 2: The Matildas took the win in their first.

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 3: Friendly back on home soil discus Sorry, Danny Stevens has

7
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 3: announced her retirement and the AFL has announced their vaccination

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 3: policy for the upcoming season. For our key story, we'll

9
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 3: discuss netball ditching the dress kind of netball. New South

10
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 3: Wales have launched a brand new set of uniforms designed

11
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 3: to be more welcoming and inclusive. In the ice bath

12
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 3: with Budgie Smuggler, we'll chat to water skier Jacinta Carrol,

13
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 3: who has just won her fifth World Championships in a row.

14
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: Before we take a look around the ground smells We're

15
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: having rose pork for dinner after this so sick that is.

16
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 2: We need to make this fast. Okay, make it quick.

17
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: Let's take a look around the grounds.

18
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 3: In tennis, Ash Barty has announced on her Instagram that

19
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 3: should be putting away the tennis racket for the remainder

20
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 3: of the year and will miss the final leg of

21
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 3: the WTA Finals, which has been relocated to Mexico in

22
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 3: mid November. However, Ash's guaranteed to finish the season as

23
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 3: world number one after a season that saw her win

24
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 3: five titles, including a second major at Wimbledon in July.

25
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 3: This will be the third year in a row that

26
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 3: Ash has won that all held that world number one spot.

27
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 3: She has now spent one hundred weeks as the world

28
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 3: number one in her career. After returning home into Queensland

29
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 3: back in September, she basically isn't really keen to do

30
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 3: another two week quarantine stint if she was to travel

31
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 3: overseas to Mexico, and she's essentially just said she's focused

32
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 3: on preparing for the upcoming Australian Open in twenty twenty two,

33
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 3: which comes up literally at the start of next year,

34
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 3: so that's going to come around really really quickly.

35
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: On that.

36
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 3: There's obviously been a lot of chat around COVID vaccination

37
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 3: policies and that's happening with the tennis and the Australian Open.

38
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 3: They're kind of figuring out with what the government has

39
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 3: announced and worked out what's going to be happening with

40
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 3: incoming athletes from overseas. Currently there is as much as

41
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 3: forty percent of WTA players and thirty five percent of

42
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 3: ATP players that are yet to have a CODE vaccine,

43
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 3: So that would be a huge, obviously portion of the

44
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 3: competition that may not be able to attend the OS

45
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 3: Open because of those policies. So Ash's basically said she

46
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 3: really wants to see the strongest possible field at the

47
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 3: OS Open, and she wants to see all one hundred

48
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 3: and twenty eight women that are on the draw to

49
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 3: be able to compete. So it'll be really interesting to

50
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 3: see how this plays out over the coming months. But yeah,

51
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 3: more to come.

52
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think it'd be interesting to see what

53
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: happens with these vaccination policies, right, because it's going to

54
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: impact multiple sports that are international that get played on

55
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: Australian shows like tennis, and then looking at domestic competitions

56
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: like the AFL. So the AFL has just released their

57
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: vaccination policy in conjunction with the Players Association, and what

58
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: they're saying is for all players and staff, if you

59
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: haven't had both vaccinations, you won't be allowed to compete

60
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty two AFL or AFLW season. So

61
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: there's been months of consultation with governments, AFL Players Association

62
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: and the AFL, and on Thursday last week, they released

63
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: a three stage schedule as part of what they're calling

64
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: their responsibility to address the risk of exposure to COVID

65
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: nineteen of our players and football program staff. So, if

66
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: a player decides not to be vaccinated, clubs can either

67
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: place them on their inactive list, keep them on their

68
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: list but they will not be able to play or train,

69
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: or they can terminate their contract if the player agrees.

70
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: Any player placed on an inactive list because they are

71
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: not fully vaccinated can be replaced, but will receive twenty

72
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: five percent of their pay if an AFL W player,

73
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: or the minimum based salary if they're an AFL player.

74
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 3: Hold up, So the women will receive twenty five percent

75
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 3: of their salary and the men will receive the minimum salary, which,

76
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 3: let's be real, that's probably higher than.

77
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: Much higher than the highest salary.

78
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 3: So they'll get twenty five percent, So basically a little

79
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: tiny fraction of what the men are getting played for

80
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 3: both sitting on the inactive list if they're not vaccinated. Yes,

81
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 3: that almost seems like one of those details that They've

82
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 3: just snuck in there and hope that no one's noticed.

83
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: That's really dodge. That's really bad.

84
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: So the Players Association CEO Paul Marsh has said our

85
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: viewers that vaccinations are an individual decision. It has, however,

86
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: become apparent in recent weeks that unvaccinated players will not

87
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: be able to fulfill their contractual obligations due to various

88
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: state border restrictions and the new worker requirements in Victoria.

89
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: Very tricky situation, but now it's going to be faced

90
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:35,239
Speaker 1: across a lot of sports.

91
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 2: In soccer, What a homecoming that was.

92
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 3: On Saturday night, the Matilda's entertained a very loud and

93
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 3: boisterous crowd in Sydney with some thrilling football. It was

94
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 3: a three to one win for the Aussies over Brazil

95
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 3: in Alana Kennedy's one hundredth appearance in the.

96
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: Green and Gold. What a night to do that on.

97
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 3: So good So the first goal came before halftime and

98
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 3: it was perfectly executed a free kick by Steph Catley

99
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 3: that found Kerr at the back post, who then cleverly

100
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 3: nodded it back to Claire Polkinghorn to finish it in

101
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 3: the corner. The second half was a bit more frantic

102
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 3: and but the football was exceptional. Brazil fought back hard,

103
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 3: but a goal to the player of the match Mary

104
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 3: Fowler loved that young gun and a seiler to Emily

105
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 3: Van Egan capped off one of the Matilda's most convincing

106
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 3: performances for some time. In additions, obviously the players coming home.

107
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 3: This has been like the first game on home soil

108
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 3: in over six hundred days. A lot of the players

109
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,239
Speaker 3: haven't been home in over a year, and for Alana Kennedy,

110
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 3: who was obviously celebrating her one hundredth match for the Matilda's,

111
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 3: was quite emotional obviously seeing her family in the crowd,

112
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 3: it was a kind of a look, don't touch kind

113
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: of situation. They were able to see their family sitting

114
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 3: so close to them, you know, just in the stands,

115
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 3: but they weren't allowed to go up and hug them

116
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 3: or anything like that due to the I guess stripped

117
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 3: biosecurity measures that they had put in place to allow

118
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 3: them to arrive into Sydney not have to I don't

119
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 3: I believe they didn't have to quarantine and just about

120
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 3: to play that game really safely and without endangering any

121
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 3: of the players or staff, but said I'm emotional at

122
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 3: the moment having seen them for the first time in

123
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 3: fifteen months. There's such a huge part of my journey

124
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 3: to getting to one hundred games.

125
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 2: I just love them to pieces. That's a really beautiful moment.

126
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was really interesting watching that interview because I've

127
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: found from what I've seen of a Liner in the past,

128
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: she hasn't showed a huge amount of emotion and it

129
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: was really interesting to see. Like, I think it was

130
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: really special for the girls. Like we saw, they were

131
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: quite active on social media around it, but I think

132
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: it genuinely looked like a really special experience for them

133
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: to be back home and playing in front of people

134
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: they love.

135
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, And a special shout out to Remy Sempson

136
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 3: who made her Matilda's debut. Both Colo and I went

137
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 3: to school with rem and it was I think a

138
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 3: very I can't imagine how it felt for her, but

139
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 3: a very special moment to see her earn her first

140
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 3: cap or Matilda's on home soil as well, how special.

141
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 2: How good might have to get her on the wrap. Yeah,

142
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 2: even next week.

143
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: Still on soccer so Angel City FC are the new

144
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: kids on the block. In the NWSL, so the US

145
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: soccer competition. So they set up the new franchise in

146
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: law Angele's Mills. This list of owners, it blows my mind.

147
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: Natalie Portman, Eva Longoria, Mia Ham who's like the goat

148
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: of soccer, Serena Williams, Abby Womboc. And they have just

149
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: announced an Angel City Fan Field Player Fund, which I'll

150
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: tell you a little bit about too. The fund will

151
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: mean that one percent of ticketing revenue will go straight

152
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,559
Speaker 1: to the players. So pretty much the players can opt

153
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: into sharing and promoting people buying tickets and coming to

154
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: watch the home games, and if they do that, then

155
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: they're eligible to receive one percent of the net ticket

156
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: revenue from those games. I really like this idea because

157
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: it's pretty much the players already do this right, so

158
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: it's a way rewarding them for using their platform to continue.

159
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 2: To driving revenue for the organization.

160
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's huge, like something that's so easy and natural

161
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 3: to them and something that I guess in the day

162
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 3: of social media, is such an easy way to advertise

163
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 3: your games to be able to earn a commission or

164
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 3: a percentage of those sales based on you sharing that

165
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 3: and getting players to the game. I think that's huge

166
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 3: and such an easy way for the I guess the

167
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 3: club to invest back into their players based on how

168
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 3: many people are turning up to their games.

169
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly so.

170
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: The club president Julie Erman said, it's the first of

171
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: its kind arrangement in the in the NWSL, and they've

172
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: already got eleven thousand season ticket holders for the twenty

173
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: twenty two season, which would place them in the top

174
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: two or three clubs for the season ticket sales already,

175
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: which is pretty massive. That's how you even played a

176
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: game yet, like they're a brand new club, So I

177
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: love that. So it remains we seen how much this

178
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: equates to. Obviously one percent isn't going to be a

179
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 1: huge amount, but I think what they're hoping is it

180
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 1: could mean several thousand additional dollars for the players, depending

181
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: on how many people they can get regularly to the games.

182
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 3: Over in athletics, discus thrower Danny Stevens, after fifteen years

183
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 3: of representing Australia has announced her retirement. So to give

184
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 3: a bit of background on I guess Danny stevens career

185
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 3: is an incredible career she's had so at the two

186
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 3: thousand and nine World titles in Berlin. She was just

187
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: twenty one years old when she became the youngest ever

188
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 3: World champion. That record still stands. I guess a list

189
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 3: of achievements she's done over her career is She's won

190
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,599
Speaker 3: gold at the two thousand and nine World Championships. She

191
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 3: won silver at the twenty seventeen World Championships. She's got

192
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 3: an Australian record equaling four Olympic campaigns, with the best

193
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 3: finish of fourth at the Rio twenty sixteen Games. She

194
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 3: won gold at the twenty fourteen and twenty eighteen Commonwealth Games.

195
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 3: And she has fourteen Australian discus titles, the most by

196
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,599
Speaker 3: any Australian in a single discipline.

197
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 2: But arguably one.

198
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 3: Of her most amazing achievements was getting to the recent

199
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,599
Speaker 3: Tokyo Games. She was forced undergo a spinal surgery in

200
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 3: early twenty twenty after shuttering at the C four and

201
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 3: C five discs in her neck in a gym incident.

202
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 2: She went through fourteen.

203
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 3: Months of rehabilitation and returned to action just in time

204
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 3: to secure her spot on the Australian team for the

205
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 3: Tokyo Olympics, where she bowed out in the qualifying round.

206
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 3: I think this is another example We've talked about this

207
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 3: a few times where the postponement of the Tokyo Games

208
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 3: was a blessing disguis for some, and that is the

209
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 3: case for Danny Stevens. It was incredible to see her

210
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 3: compete in that fourth Olympic Games. An incredible, incredible career,

211
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 3: so huge congratulations to you, Danny.

212
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 1: In cricket, sadly, the WBBL had Super Saturday washed out

213
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: when rain hit lawn system over the weekend. All four

214
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: matches were abandoned and in some other disappointing news, twenty

215
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 1: two year old Georgia Wareham was hurt while fielding for

216
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: the Melbourne Renegades in Wednesday's loss to Adelaide. She went

217
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,599
Speaker 1: down as she ran across the boundary and scans have

218
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 1: confirmed a ruptured ACL ligament in her left knee. So

219
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: this injury means that the Aussies will potentially be without

220
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: where them who's their first choice leg spinner for the

221
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: women's Ashes and One Day World Cup. So we'll see

222
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: the One Day World Cup in New Zealand in March

223
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: next year, which means wheream would be pushing it to

224
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: be fit for that tournament, but wishing her the best

225
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: of luck in her rehab.

226
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 2: Let's take a look at the key story in netball.

227
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: Netball New South Wales have announced the launch of a

228
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: new range of apparel designed to provide a more inclusive

229
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: and welcoming environment for people of all ages, gender identity

230
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: and cultural backgrounds. So they've launched these uniforms based on

231
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: work that's been undertaken after Netble Australia's State of the

232
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: Game review, So they've put out a range of different options.

233
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: So it's kind of we're not getting rid of the dress.

234
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 1: The dress is still an option, but they're introducing singlets,

235
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: t shirts, long sleeve tops, shorts and compression wear for

236
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: players if they choose to wear it.

237
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. So this review was chaired by Australian diamonds and

238
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 3: Swiss legend Liz Ellis and a highlight of the lack

239
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 3: of flexibility regarding uniforms was proving to be a barrier

240
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 3: to many in the community taking up or continuing their

241
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 3: involvement in netball. So, alongside the State of Game review,

242
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 3: recent studies, including one from Victoria University, found that fifty

243
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 3: eight percent of girls so they did not want to

244
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 3: wear skirts during sport outside of school and eighty five

245
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 3: percent of girls surveyed said they preferred to wear shorts.

246
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 2: During sport outside of school.

247
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 3: Responsibilities Now, I guess sits with the clubs and associations

248
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 3: who dictate uniform requirements at the local level. The CEO

249
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 3: of Neble, New South Wales, Tchang drink Water, explained that

250
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 3: uniform is defined by clubs and approved by associations. This

251
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 3: means our grassroots community has a chance to ensure uniforms

252
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 3: are inclusive for everyone. Netble New South Wales is encouraging

253
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 3: key stakeholders at club and association level to embrace the

254
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 3: new inclusive uniform policy and make Netble more attractive for

255
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 3: all participants.

256
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 2: I think this is awesome.

257
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 3: We've obviously talked about this recently in the last coming

258
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 3: last few months about swimming doing the same thing, changing

259
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 3: the uniform requirements for competition level down to grassroots level,

260
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 3: just so that people of all different backgrounds feel like

261
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 3: they've got a place in the sport and they're not

262
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 3: restricted by the uniform.

263
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, good point.

264
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: I think it is a really good step and also

265
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: in very good timing. So we've seen, you know, the

266
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: we talked about the Cabri blocks of chocolate.

267
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 3: I bought one, it was delicious, supporting them the sport

268
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 3: each chocolate love it Delicious.

269
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: So they've also launch these grants in conjunction with Women's

270
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: Sport Australia and similar idea. It's all about getting girls

271
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: to participate, girls and women to participate in sport and

272
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 1: removing the barriers. So what they want to do is

273
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: they want to provide grants to sporting clubs or associations

274
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: across the country to help break down the barrier that's

275
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: around the design and cost of uniforms. So pretty much

276
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: any sport or organization can apply for up to five

277
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: thousand dollars worth of grants that can be spent on

278
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: the redesign or purchase of uniforms for girls and women's teams.

279
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: So if you're listening or you're watching us on YouTube

280
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: and you're part of a sporting club, make sure you

281
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: let people know and we'll put the link in our

282
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: show notes so that you can apply.

283
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 2: For that one too. Now it's time for the Budge.

284
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 2: Ice bath water.

285
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 3: Skier Jasinta Carol has just won her fifth World championship

286
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 3: in the jump event as the current world record holder,

287
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 3: Jacinta Carol stands alone as the most prolific women's jumper

288
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 3: in the history of the sport. With seven master titles,

289
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 3: eight Mumba Master Championships and five world titles, Cinta has

290
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 3: cemented her name in history as a time tested and

291
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 3: dominant force. Over the course of the past decade. Jacinta

292
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 3: has held the world record four jump for six years

293
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 3: and as the first and only woman jump over sixty meters.

294
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 3: Cloak caught up with you Center earlier this week.

295
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: Just Cinta Carol, very excited to have a chat with you.

296
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: You've just won your fifth world title in water skiing. Congratulations.

297
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: How did it feel to take out that title?

298
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 4: Thanks, thanks very much and thanks for having me on.

299
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 4: It was pretty amazing. Obviously there was a bit of

300
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 4: pent up emotion given how hard it was for me

301
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 4: to be able to leave Australia during COVID this year

302
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 4: and get back onto the pro to a little alone

303
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 4: and get back and represent my country at World champs

304
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 4: and it was always a goal of mine to win

305
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 4: five in a row, so to be able to come

306
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 4: over here and have that weight and that pressure on

307
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 4: my shoulders and to be able to get the jump

308
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 4: done and I needed. I'm super excited and thankful for

309
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 4: the opportunity and really happy with my performance.

310
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: And it was a pretty tough road to get there

311
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: after all of the COVID restrictions and everything. Can you

312
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: tell us a little bit about what it took to

313
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: get there and I guess the costs as well that

314
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: have that have been involved to get you to that point.

315
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, So obviously Australia has had some pretty tightened restrictions

316
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 4: in terms of lockdowns, and there was a period of

317
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 4: time last year that I couldn't even train as a

318
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 4: result of that, so I took a fair bit of

319
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 4: time off and then you know, it was a it

320
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 4: was a big decision to come to these World Championships

321
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 4: that unknown of whether I could actually get back into

322
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 4: Australia and just surprise, like it was seven thousand dollars

323
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 4: alone just to get a flight from Sydney Ala. So

324
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 4: it costs me about twenty five grand in total. But

325
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 4: I guess when I look back at this moment in

326
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 4: time in fifty years, I won't regret spending that money

327
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 4: because the win has made it worth it.

328
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: I'm gathering you grew up water skiing. Can you tell

329
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: us a little bit about how you first got into

330
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: the sport.

331
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, so my dad's actually a sandblaster and was asked

332
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 4: to do a job down at the local ski club

333
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 4: in Geelong and then as I thank you, we went,

334
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 4: We got invited down to their Christmas party and it

335
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 4: kind of just kicked out from there. We got along

336
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 4: with everybody at the club. Our dad decided to join

337
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 4: this as members, and then there was a coach down

338
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 4: there who told my dad that, you know, oh your

339
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 4: kids are quite talented, maybe you should take them to

340
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 4: a competition. So my brothers, my oldest brother started competing

341
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 4: first and then me and my younger brother followed on.

342
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: Can you tell us a bit about what a typical

343
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: year looks like in water skiing in terms of how

344
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: you compete?

345
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, So, if it weren't for COVID and the world

346
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 4: was a normal place, I typically I work full time

347
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 4: as a physiotherapist in Brisbane. I train on the Sunshine

348
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 4: Coast and then I fly in and out internationally for events.

349
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 4: So typically I would have about six or seven pro

350
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 4: stops a year where I would just leave work on

351
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 4: a Thursday afternoon fly overseas land there on a Friday

352
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 4: or Saturday, compete for the weekend and fly back and

353
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 4: then obviously I have training in and around that, so

354
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 4: I do live a pretty hectic lifestyle. But unfortunately the

355
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 4: monetary reward for doing what I do isn't enough to

356
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 4: live off, so I then have to supplement it by

357
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 4: working full time back at home.

358
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: Wow, is that something that you can see changing in

359
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: the future. Is that something as a water skier you

360
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: just have to fund it yourself and hope that you

361
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: can get sponsors and support coming on board.

362
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's kind of a catch twenty two because back

363
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 4: in the ninety is gosh, if I had have done

364
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 4: any of the achievements that I've done, you know, now

365
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 4: in the nineties or two thousand, it's got to be

366
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 4: walking around with a roll at Somers and plenty of

367
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 4: US cars. But unfortunately the sport has kind of taken

368
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 4: a bit of a dive. We are working really hard

369
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 4: to try and get that back, but I don't see

370
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 4: much of that changing in the time that I have

371
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 4: left in my career.

372
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: Have you noticed significant differences between the men's side of

373
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: the competition and the women's side competing as a female

374
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: discrepancies whether obviously prize money can't be one if there's

375
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 1: not a huge.

376
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 2: Amount of money in it, but other areas that you've noticed.

377
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, So the limited prize money we do have, they're

378
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 4: definitely up until a year and a half ago there

379
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 4: was large discrepancies. Within the last two years, every male

380
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 4: event has had female competitors present, so that's a huge improvement.

381
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 4: And then some of the big ticket items in terms

382
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 4: of the US Masters, the mob Masters that we have

383
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 4: in Melbourne in Australia, they have made equal prize money,

384
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 4: which is amazing. But I guess it's just opportunities, right.

385
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 4: So at the World Championships, for example, I was the

386
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 4: closest skier out of anybody in the field, male or female,

387
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 4: closest to a world record. Yet I wasn't given the

388
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 4: opportunity to have the best boat driver drive for me

389
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 4: or you know, because that's always given to the men

390
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 4: and those situations, so the best wind conditions, the best

391
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 4: weather conditions is always of it will suit the men

392
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 4: first and then the women will come second. So it

393
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 4: is pretty unfortunate and unfortunately, Like I fight hard and

394
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 4: I am quite vocal in our water ski community, about

395
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 4: trying to promote women a bit more and being looked

396
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 4: at as an equal partner. But it's a tough battle

397
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 4: to face and it's a slow change. We can see

398
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 4: little improvements, but it's still a long way off where

399
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 4: it needs to be.

400
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,479
Speaker 1: So in the jump event, so you jumped at the

401
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: World Champs, was at fifty nine point five meters, Is

402
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: that right?

403
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, fifty nine point four, but I'll take the extra

404
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 4: ten centimeters if you want to give it to me.

405
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 2: Close, close, We'll take that fifty nine foot four.

406
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: And you're the first and only woman to have ever

407
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,479
Speaker 1: jumped over sixty meters as well. How much bigger than

408
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: sixty meters do you think is in your sight?

409
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 4: My ultimate lifelong goal is sixty point nine simply because

410
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 4: that equals two hundred foot. No female has ever dumped

411
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 4: two hundred foot and the first male to ever jump

412
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 4: two hundred foot was an Australian back in nineteen eighty three. Actually, wo,

413
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 4: so the men got fast. Yeah, the men got a

414
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 4: faster boat speed and a higher ramp. So I'm aiming

415
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 4: to try and make it a duel, get both uses

416
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 4: over line, male and female. But hopefully we can get

417
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 4: it done.

418
00:19:54,600 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: Absolutely congratulations on your incredible success so far. It's absolutely

419
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 1: amazing what you've achieved, and I think that what you've

420
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: done deserves to be You deserve to be a household

421
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: name what you've achieved so far, and I can't wait

422
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:08,760

00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you, and thank you for reaching out. You know,

00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,640

00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 4: so it's been been a bit of a crazy, well
