1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Job mission with Jones and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 2: Wasn't it a tonic yesterday? The swimmers put such a

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 2: smile on our faces. We won gold, we won silver,

4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,079
Speaker 2: we won bronze. A very nice distraction. We're going to

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 2: cross to live to Tokyo. Now do to Channel seven's

6
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 2: Mel McLaughlin, who's got.

7
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 3: All the information. Who is a woman in Tokyo? Hello? Mail?

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 3: Do what we did there? Mel? I know you're a

9
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 3: big deep purple tragic.

10
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, no, absolutely, Good morning guys and thanks

11
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: to girls. Just want to have fun. It's really put

12
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: me in the mood for another big day. It's really

13
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: hot over here, but we are having fun. I'm not complaining.

14
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: Yeah things that it's been amazing and yeah, what about

15
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: our swimmers. Has been a lot of anticipation, a lot

16
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: of excitement, especially with these with the trials, and we

17
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 1: knew that there was some you know, some special swimmers

18
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: coming through and obviously you know the veterans. We can

19
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: call them the Kates and the Bronzes. Emma McKean, we're

20
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: not going to call her a veteran. But you know,

21
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: these girls have done it again, same events, same gold medal,

22
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: just a different venue. Three Olympic games in a row.

23
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think a lot of people got emotional

24
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: about that, but we have plenty of reasons to be

25
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: excited about our swimmers. And I must say I was

26
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: extremely lucky myself to be at the Boomers last night.

27
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: I had a whole section of the stadium to myself.

28
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: We went against Nigeria and apparently the Americans have lost

29
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: to the French, first time they've lost a basketball game

30
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 2: since Athens. So they're not indestructible.

31
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: No, that's right. And well I interviewed Tatti millsa well

32
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: maybe two weeks ago, and he was just the belief

33
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: in that guy. And I said, are you going to

34
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: beat the Americans? He said, yes, they're in Las Vegas

35
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: and they in the lead up there was a I guess,

36
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: an exhibition tournament if you like, with Nigeria, Australia, team

37
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: USA and Argentina, and both Nigeria and Australia beat Tea USA.

38
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: And yes, they weren't all together yet all the top players,

39
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: but they are now and yet that they're absolutely like, well,

40
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: we know destructible now we hopefully that'll be. We're on

41
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: course to meet them once we get at once we

42
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: definitely get out of the group stages. But yeah, that's

43
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: that's good news that the French did that that I

44
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: fully expect us to do the same.

45
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 4: And you're at the skateboarding. I was watching the skateboarding yesterday.

46
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 4: I'm just so happy because my father many years ago,

47
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 4: when I used to skateboard, said well, it's not like

48
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 4: it's going to be an Olympic sport. Well then your face, dad.

49
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 4: I was watching it yesterday. I like the fact that

50
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 4: they're not wearing any safety year that's pretty cool. But

51
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 4: also that that guy, I think it was, it was

52
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 4: a Japanese guy. He fell off his skateboard and then

53
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 4: he did the deal or no deal thing, meaning can

54
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 4: I have another go and start again?

55
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 2: Did he get one?

56
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 3: It's like they're making the rules up.

57
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it is so chilled out. That might have been,

58
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: you know, one of the hottest places on Earth at

59
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: the time. And they're all saying that because they've all

60
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: got their their trackies on. I love that you can

61
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: wear trackies as well. I know that thing. But it's

62
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: also like cool. I think is that the one you

63
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: mean who picked up the bit of gear on the

64
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: on the like I think there was a bit of

65
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: the equipment on the actual course. He picked it up

66
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,399
Speaker 1: and kind of said, hey, this is in my way.

67
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: I'm not sure it actually was in his way, but

68
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: maybe you aren't happy with his one. I don't know.

69
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: And now Ossie, Shane O'Neil, things didn't go to plan

70
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: for him. Unfortunately, we couldn't land any of these tricks.

71
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: But he's the most laid back guy. They say he

72
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: looks like he's a sleepy that chilled out and he's

73
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: this guy I see his name against Shane O'Neil. He's

74
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 1: got more like Instagram followers than any other odd the

75
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: Olympic athlete, and he's a real like rock star in

76
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: the sport as well. But yeah, it's it's sort of

77
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: you get. You get five tricks to try and land

78
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: a couple of them and two runs and if if

79
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,839
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. It's a tough thing.

80
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: This is this is what reminds you about the Olympics.

81
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 2: Ash Barty had played a game that it seemed like

82
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: it was a different player on the corp. We saw

83
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: Simone Beal's who was the American gymnast who was supposed

84
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 2: to do such extraordinary things. She faltered as well, that's

85
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: what the Olympics is like.

86
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 3: Isn't it.

87
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing. Yeah, conditions and say outside, for example,

88
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: he can't emphasize enough just how hot it is. But

89
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: that's obviously you know a lot of people in builds

90
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: as well. But they've had this extra year two. I

91
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: was gonna say, off, it's not off at all, but

92
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: to contend with which you know, can also go either way,

93
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: I would say. In some of the interviews in the

94
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: lead up, I spoke to a couple of There was

95
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: one in particular, and she said, I'm not so used

96
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: on air, but she said, I'm really scared that I'm

97
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: going to be what she swore like basically said rubbish.

98
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: She said, what if I'm rubbish? What if I'm like

99
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: I haven't competed against people in such a long time

100
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: on the world stage, we haven't been able to travel.

101
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: What if I'm not? You know, and you know I'm

102
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: going You'll be amazing, don't worry about it, but you

103
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: know there's that extra fear. And with these the Australian

104
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: Olympic team that was the they've had the most demand

105
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: in the past year for mental health assistance as well,

106
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: because obviously everyone's coping with so much. But but you

107
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: get here and it's not the usual build up, and

108
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: obviously for some that's worked in a good way and

109
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: for some not so much. And I'm not looking for excuses.

110
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: I just think it's incredible what some of these athletes,

111
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: you know, have had to contend with and they still

112
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: get here and there they're at the top level, you know,

113
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: competing at the top level. But the reason I'm.

114
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 3: Known, and that's the thing. It's a nice distraction.

115
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 4: I found it very nice to watch the opening ceremony

116
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 4: on Friday, to watch the road race on Saturday, and

117
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 4: then watching the skateboarding as well on Sunday. I just

118
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 4: found that it was just a nice distraction. And you're

119
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 4: doing a great job over there, mel I like that

120

Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Well, as I'm off to the skateboarding,

123
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,280

124
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: to be. But also two years ago I broke my

125
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: arm trying to be a skateboarder, which I'm not, so

126
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: it's like a country my stomach every time on there.

127
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 3: So you got on the skate Were you drunk when

128
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 3: you got on the skateboard?

129
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: Look, I can't say too much for I definitely thought

130
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:39,880
