1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Here at Two Good Sports, we would like to acknowledge

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: the traditional owners of the land on which we record

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: this podcast. The Werenerie people. This land was never seated,

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: always was, always will be monet Dear listeners, desolate, but

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: my French accent is taking. I am Georgie Tuddy and I'm.

6
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 2: Happy delby, and we are up and about for episode two,

7
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: day four of the game's unofficial podcast, Your Green and

8
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 2: Gold edition of Two Good Sports.

9
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 3: Because Georgie, we have some gold overnight.

10
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: We are dancing in our chairs because since the last

11
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: time that we chatted, Australia has one gold and two

12
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 1: silver medals, which means that we are number four on

13
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 1: the overall metal tally with five goals, four silvers, nine

14
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: medals overall.

15
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: My god, we are up and about and this morning

16
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: was honestly the race that I was most excited to

17
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 2: watch in the pool for this game.

18
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: We've been setting up for this, I honestly think for

19
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: at least the last two years, if not the last

20
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: three from Tokyo. Because Molly O'Callahan v Arianne Tipmas, the

21
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: Golden Girl's Battle for Gold lived up to all of

22
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: the hype, all of the expectation.

23
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 2: And it is one of the more bizarre scenarios in

24
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 2: world sport because this is for the two hundred meter freestyle.

25
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: But they both train at Saint Peter's Western Yes, under

26
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: Dean Boxel. So Dean Boxel is whispering into molly'sia how

27
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 2: to beat Arnie and whispering into arnie'sier how she's meant

28
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 2: to beat Molly. And it has been a tip for tat.

29
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 2: It's been a world record here for one, a world

30
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: record here for another. Arnie a tried and proven champion,

31
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: whereas we only saw Molly in her first Olympic final yesterday,

32
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: of which she won gold, which is amazing in the relay,

33
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: but the nerves on this girl heading into the race

34
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: were visible.

35
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: What we need to remember is that to get into

36
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: this event, to qualify for the two hundred meter freestyle

37
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: for Australia, to represent us at the Games, you had

38
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: to break.

39
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 3: A world record, and they both did.

40
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: They both did. That is how fast they are. It

41
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: was set up as the race between these two, and

42
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: I was really worried that there might be a boilover

43
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: and someone else from some other country could outtouch them.

44
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: I needn't have worried because this is a win for

45
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: the anxious girlies. You talk about how nervous Molo Callahan

46
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: is as an athlete standing behind those blocks. She was

47
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 1: visibly shaking before those four laps, and then that final turn. Mollo'

48
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: Callahan honestly outraced one of the best races that we

49
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: have ever produced in this country to touch first and

50
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: win her first individual gold medal.

51
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 2: In games record time, and to beat Arion Tipmas who

52
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 2: came in silver. And she was so gracious, gave her

53
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 2: a hug or elder arm up and was incredible. And

54
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 2: remember Arnie did been gold yesterday and she was our

55
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 2: golden girl for the four hundred meters. So, I mean,

56
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 2: Dean Boxel do you think that How does he? I

57
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 2: would love to see his reaction. I don't think we've

58
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 2: seen a close up of it yet. How do you

59
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 2: celebrate for one commiserate for the other. But I do

60
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 2: think in terms of his consoling, this was the best

61
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: outcome because we saw Molly after the trials to come

62
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 2: into the Games looking visibly upset. She was crying with

63
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: Dean and he was sort of patting her on the back.

64
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 2: I'm so glad she won. I was anxious for her.

65
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. The thing with Molly O'Callahan is and

66
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: what you will hear is, what we know about her

67
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: is very limited. So we're just looking forward to getting

68
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: to know her more and more now because hopefully this

69
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: gold medal she lived up to the hype. She was

70
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: able to control her nerves, she was able to control

71
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: all of that anxiety, all of that adrenaline and channel

72
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: it into what she's been training for her whole life.

73
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: She's twenty years of age, so she is going to

74
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: be on the world stage for so many years to come.

75
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: But I hope that this is really dare I say,

76
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: the diving for her, the springboard, the platform, so that

77
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: she can maybe enter a new era of carefree racing

78
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: somewhat and we can get to know her more as

79
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: an athlete.

80
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: Immediately after the race, she had the interview and Arnie

81
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: was there next to her, and she was full of

82
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,679
Speaker 2: praise for Arnie, as you would be, but she also said,

83
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 2: I just feel like I can swim with freedom now,

84
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: and I went, oh, bring on one hundred meters, when

85
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 2: is that? Oh?

86
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 3: Let her have another crack.

87
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: But as you said, she is, she's a humble champion,

88
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: and now she is a gold medalist, so no one

89
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 2: can take that away from you, particularly an individual gold medalist.

90
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: And I think that what impressed me most with her

91
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: was actually the calmness that she had turning into that

92
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: for the final time, that final lap, because she was behind,

93
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: She was well behind going into that final turn. Her

94
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: underwater was outrageous. It was unreal. She came up almost

95
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: in front and then put a body length on Arnie

96
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: pretty much, and she was so in control. I'm so

97
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: excited about her prospects. You and I have talked about

98
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: her on this very podcast for a very long time.

99
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: Go back and listen to the episodes, because Molly O'Callahan

100
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: take a freakin'.

101
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 3: Bout Her turn was outrageous. Do you know what wasn't outrageous?

102
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 3: Her celebration?

103
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, will it kill someone to lift the lid at

104
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 2: the ball, like you've just had all this pressure has

105
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: been relieved, and like as she touched the wall looked

106
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 2: at the time, I'm like, can you see the one

107
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 2: next to your name?

108
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 3: Babe? Have your twenty? I agree, Kaylee, bring around, give

109
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 3: some expletive.

110
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: There are some moments like Kaylee will be coming, don't

111
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: you worry, you know. I want them to sit on

112
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: the lane rope. I want them to splash everyone in

113
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: the face. I want them to hit the camera like.

114
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: I want some yelling. I want the tears.

115
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 3: Because we're doing that at home. We love a humble champion.

116
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: And her family was doing that. Yeah right, yeah, the O'Callaghans.

117
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: They lost it And I think you would need a

118
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: trigger warning, jellmy, because you, my dear, would be crying

119
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: within three seconds of watching their reaction. Mug out.

120
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: Whatever Dean Boxel does to train these young women to

121
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 2: keep a lid on it needs to be studied because

122
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 2: it is unbelievable and crazy. Hats off to Dean, Like,

123
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 2: we do have to speak about his dominance and the

124
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 2: squad and the team that he is bringing to this

125
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 2: Games and the consistency that they perform at such a

126
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 2: high level to manage two champions, Yes, it's like Nadal

127
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 2: and Federer training on the same court every day. Like,

128
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: how do you manage that and keep it to a

129
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 2: point where these young women give each other a hug

130
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 2: and say I'm just so proud of her. Mutually, it's

131
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: unreach It's such a proud moment Australian.

132
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: Also a very very very honorable mention to Max Giuliani,

133
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: who was representing Australia in the men's two hundred meter

134
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: freestyle final, finished seventh, but that is nothing to sneeze

135
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: out because it was the fastest, one of the fastest

136
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: finals ever in that the top three was separated by

137
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: only zero point zero.

138
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 3: Seven point zero seven.

139
00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: Yes, so that separated guild and bronze zero point zero seven.

140
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: Do you think the swimmers go for I just have

141
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 2: my nail a little yeser, yes, they need a shakhari,

142
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: so they need they need the clause zero seven.

143
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, that's the beauty of the Games though, isn't it.

144
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: It's nuts that was what happened in the pool. Jelmy,

145
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: we're fresh out of there, but now we need to

146
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: turn our heads to equestrian because Chris Burton has pulled

147
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: off something spectacular, a silver medal for Australia, his first

148
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: individual medal in equestrian eventing.

149
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 2: And I love the story arc here because he was

150
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: meant to compete in Tokyo only for an injury to

151
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: his horse.

152
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 3: Imagine you manage to qualify.

153
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 2: For a Games, all the work that goes into it

154
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: and then his horse Quality Purdy, the name miss Cam,

155
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 2: just ending the.

156
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 3: Campaign before it even began.

157
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 2: So then in twenty twenty one he started to focus

158
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: on show jumping and he was like, maybe this will

159
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 2: be my thing. So he's actually been out of eventing

160
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 2: for nine hundred and ninety eight days before he's decided

161
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: to give it another crack. I'll see how I go

162
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: and on his horse, shadow Man, and I love this.

163
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 2: And you know what, Georgie, We hear athletes a lot

164
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 2: talk about their significant others. And you know, his wife

165
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: Beck was there and the kids, and you know, he said,

166
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: I think we were made for each other the day

167
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 2: we were born.

168
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 3: He's talking about shadow Man, not his wife. He's talking

169
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: about the horse.

170
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: I love this name shadow Man one because it reminds

171
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: me of shadow facts from Lord of the Rings. But namely,

172
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: I just think that it's so wonderful just how important

173
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: this is going to sound so dumb, but it's wonderful.

174
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: How important the horses are to all of this, it says,

175
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: and how they don't necessarily the riders don't necessariarily see

176
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: themselves as separate from them.

177
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 2: He borrowed the horse, Yeah, so he doesn't own shadow man.

178
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 2: He borrowed the horse from British writer Ben Hogday, and

179
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 2: whether jokingly or not, he said, my manager has had

180
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 2: to contribute towards the finances for this.

181
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 3: My wife also contributed.

182
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 2: If anyone has a spare half a million dollars, that

183
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 2: would be great for how much it costs for him

184
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 2: to get on this horse that has carried him to silver.

185
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 2: And understandably, the journalist followed up and was like, wait,

186
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 2: are you serious, Like how much does this cost you?

187
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 2: And he's like, I would be embarrassed to say. But

188
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 2: what we have learned from Chris Burton since he won

189
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 2: silver is that he has chat. He is very, very funny.

190
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 2: This is an interview that he had at a press

191
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 2: conference afterwards. When he's done all the media, he's done

192
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: all the hype, he's got the metal around his neck,

193
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 2: and this is what he had to say about what

194
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 2: the commitments have been like, I've.

195
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 4: Been wished away, I've been taken for a year. Example,

196
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 4: I've been taken from press conference to press conference asking

197
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 4: the same generic crap, and all I want to do

198
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 4: is see my mates and colleagues on the team, and

199
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 4: my wife and family.

200
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 2: And have a beer.

201
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 4: I'll catch up, don't worry. And I'm a bit surprised.

202
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 4: I did you want to do these interviews tomorrow because

203
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 4: we normally turn up completely hungover and they're the best

204
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 4: interviews you ever get. I don't know why you want

205
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 4: to hear from a sober eventing guy.

206
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: I cannot wait for drunk Burton tomorrow.

207
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 2: Oh but seriously, he had a four flawless final jumping ride.

208
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 3: Australian Equestrian medals.

209
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 2: Are quite rare, so it's something that we certainly didn't

210
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 2: have on the radar.

211
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: Again, just to put into some perspective the eventing itself

212
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: as an event, you have a few days of competition.

213
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: You've got Day one dressage, then you have to do

214
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: cross country and then you go into the show jumping

215
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: as well. And so he was able to really put

216
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: in such a solid performance, a consistent performance across all

217
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: of those days of competition to finish with silver. Honorable

218
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 1: mention to Shane Rose as well, who finished twentieth. Now

219
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: he's a veteran of this team. You may recently remember

220
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: him most Now why do we know that name? Oh? Yes,

221
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: because he wore a MANKINI on a horse earlier this year.

222
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: And got a whole lot of headlines, not necessarily for

223
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: the right wi.

224
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 2: Borat on a horse, and people were saying he should

225
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 2: lose his right to represent Australia, and I just thought,

226
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 2: why did we become such a nanny state?

227
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 3: He tried to do something funny.

228
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 2: Let him get away with it, but he came twenty Then,

229
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 2: as I mentioned, it is rare, only our sixth individual

230
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 2: medal in the Equestrian I can't wait to find out

231
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 2: more about Chris Burton, but maybe he'll start a gofund

232
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 2: me for the fact that he had just been half

233
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 2: a million dollars to get shadow Man to help him

234
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 2: to silver.

235
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: We talk about the price of medals a lot, hey,

236
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: a lot of zeros.

237
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 2: I wonder if he's like Australian government, You bonus for

238
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 2: a medal is not going to cover where I'm at. So, Georgie,

239
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 2: there our medals so far overnight, but we are going

240
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 2: to talk about coming up some of the other Aussies

241
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 2: in action.

242
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: Ough, Gelemy and I don't want to start on a downer,

243
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: but this one really hurt. This one hurt my brain,

244
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: it hurt my heart, it hurt my soul because.

245
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 3: I hurt him.

246
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: It hurt him, It hurt him. I'm talking about Harry Garside,

247
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: who dear listeners you will know, we most recently did

248
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: an episode on him, a deeper dive into who he

249
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: is as a person, So if you want to check

250
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: back on that episode, please go back and listen to it.

251
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: But he won bronze in Tokyo in the boxing, and

252
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 1: unfortunately he was going for gold. He had thrown everything

253
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: at this gold medal and he had a shock defeat

254
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: in the round of sixteen, devastating defeat for him.

255
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 2: He jokingly but not jokingly told Georgie in an interview

256
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 2: that he would have cut off his thumb in order

257
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 2: to make it to the Olympics. And then there was

258
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 2: just this shot after he lost this bout and he's

259
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 2: on the ground on his haunches and you could just

260
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 2: tell that it had genuinely really wounded him because he

261
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 2: couldn't believe all this build up and then all of

262
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 2: a sudden it's over. And that is the agony in

263
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 2: the ecstasy of the Games.

264
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: Yes, and he really does represent that because Harry, he's

265
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: made a name for himself for being one of the

266
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: most vulnerable athletes. Hard on his sleeve, hard on his sleeve.

267
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: This was him immediately after getting knocked out of the games.

268
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: I know sportsmen are just supposed to say the right

269
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: thing right now and thank you very much, But deep

270
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: down inside, I fear for what my next couple of

271
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: months look like for myself. I'm sure there'll be some

272
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: dark times. I've got to be prepared for that now.

273
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: So this hurts a lot because he's had two decades

274
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: trying and throwing everything into that gold medal.

275
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 2: I think, as you mentioned, he is so vulnerable, and

276
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 2: I think there's something so healthy about coming out and

277
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 2: going you know what, instead of going I'm proud of myself,

278
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 2: I'll pick myself up to go, oh yeah, I'm going

279
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 2: to need some Yes, so raw.

280
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: In better news. He then hours later, hours later, he

281
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: did take to his own social media accounts and he

282
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: said that he has learned over the journey to become

283
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: his own friend. He ate a cookie, he got some perspective.

284
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: He's going to bounce back.

285
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 3: Oh he's in that stage.

286
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got ice cream on the couch, he's calling

287
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 2: a girlfriend.

288
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 3: There's a rom com coming out.

289
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 2: He's going to be He's gonna be Okay, Someone get

290
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 2: slippers and then hopefully he can go on a trip

291
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 2: around Europe and just shed it.

292
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: So Harry's out, but we have another boxer well in

293
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 1: the fight. Terra Mowana. Terra Mowana Junior is one hundred

294
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: and eight.

295
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 3: Didn't stammer there, that's his name.

296
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: That's his name. Is a one hundred and ninety eight

297
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: centimeter giant we use that word lovingly, who is making

298
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: his game's debut and he's already advanced to the quarterfinals

299
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: with a first round knockout.

300
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 2: And when you think of blokes that are almost two

301
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 2: hundred centimeters, you don't necessarily think they'll have the moves.

302
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 3: His post victory dance is amazing.

303
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: It's so great. He does this dance. It's kind of

304
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: like a version of a hark. I don't want to

305
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: offend anyone is but it's it's a nod to his

306
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: cultural heritage, of his Cook Island's heritage and his late grandfather,

307
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: who he actually changed his name in honor of his grandfather.

308
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: So there is obviously such a strong connection for him there.

309
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: But you're so right, Jealmy. We're not used to seeing

310
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: nine tall people actually have rhythm, but Terramalana definitely does.

311
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 3: He is dancing with the stars waiting to happen l seven.

312
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 2: But the team results, I mean the women's rugby seven

313
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 2: it's so enjoyable to watch. I love it so mad

314
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 2: and Levi the freak, like the freak. She had back

315
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 2: to back hat tricks if you don't mind. But they

316
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 2: are undefeated and they're going to be heading towards the

317
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 2: quarter finals.

318
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: They actually they've won. They've won the quarterfinals. They absolutely

319
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: smashed Ireland very early this morning, so this is only

320
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: just in. They won forty points to seven, so we're through.

321
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: We are through to the mast round. So the girls

322
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: are getting it done. Do watch out for the Levis sisters.

323
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 3: You are right, I don't want to put the mock

324
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 3: on it. But gold gold, gold, gold, gold gold. Do

325
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 3: we think gold gold?

326
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: I mean I definitely think metal. I definitely think metal.

327
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: They'll be looking for gold. There's absolutely like that's not

328
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: getting gold to them. They'd see as a disappointment.

329
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 2: So we have been very yeah the girls in this podcast,

330
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 2: but the opals are probably thinking, yeah, the girls need

331
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 2: to regroup because it wasn't their best opening game. They

332
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 2: were stunned losing to Nigeria. Seventy five to sixty two

333
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 2: and what has been called their worst performance in games history.

334
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 2: And we were so bullisch about the basketball because the

335
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 2: Boomers did very well in their opening game. I mean,

336
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 2: they still do have a chance to bounce back when

337
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 2: they take on Canada.

338
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 3: But it wasn't pretty viewing.

339
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: When Lauren Jackson, the veteran of your team and the

340
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: veteran of the sport, is calling your performance a quote disaster.

341
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: You know you need to readgroup better news for the

342
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: hockey though, Kookobarra's hockey RWs both doing very very well,

343
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. We are feeling very confident with

344
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: them and Joey I know that this is a green

345
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: and gold edition of two good sports. However, we also

346
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: just love sports. Sports sports so very important to tell

347
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: you an update on my girl, Simone Biles. She continues

348
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: doing some mon Biles things, so I'm really excited for

349
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: her to win all of the gold medals. No pressure, babe,

350
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: but I.

351
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 3: Did you see the video of Lady Gaga filming. She's

352
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 3: me so nice to be so close to her and

353
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 3: you're like.

354
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: Us, she's everyone. She's like I've never felt so on

355
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: a never taking this for granted, I was like, please

356
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: please sub me in. I don't want to be that

357
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: close to the Gama.

358
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 2: Events to attend have been the gymnastics and of course

359
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 2: the tennis, because it's clay, it's rolling garrels.

360
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 3: It is Nadal for the last time.

361
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 2: He was defeated by Novak Djokovic, so we have seen

362
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 2: him in his last men's singles match on the clay,

363
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 2: which is just devastating. But he is still in action

364
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 2: in the doubles with a little man called Carlos Alkoraz.

365
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 2: And if you haven't seen some of the photos of

366
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 2: these two next to each other, it's so fun. It's

367
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,959
Speaker 2: so it's actually mister Miagi stuff.

368
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: It'll make you weep. Like they move in the same way,

369
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: they celebrate in the same way, they have all the

370
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: same like yeah, vamos, like all the same It's just perfect.

371
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: It's like watching two clones out there and I am

372
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 1: here for it. But Djokovic threw to the next round

373
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: because he defeated Rafa in.

374
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 3: Strait and Andy Murray is still in action.

375
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:52,719
Speaker 2: I know this is a John Farnham tour of his

376
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 2: fairwell because we've said goodbye to him at Wimbledon. However,

377
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 2: I did send Georgie a message that someone else had

378
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 2: written that was very funny, saying, if someone and get

379
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 2: Andy Murray out of the rain for the opening ceremony,

380
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 2: he may rust.

381
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 3: He may rusht because that hip is correct.

382
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 2: So basically we are seeing Djokovic, Nadal, and Andy Murray

383
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: at the game. So what we know will be the

384
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 2: last time. Who knows if Dokovic will just push on

385
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 2: and keep winning forever. But it is the end of

386
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 2: an era and it's really really fun to watch Snoop

387
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 2: Dogg with Billy Jen King is another side note. If

388
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 2: you haven't seen that it was an merchant, it's very bizarre.

389
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: It really wasn't on my bingo for twenty twenty four,

390
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: I got to say, but I'm glad.

391
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 3: That it exists. But what is on your program for tomorrow, George?

392
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 3: That's the question?

393
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: Okay, what I need? Everyone? It actually starts tonight. Everyone

394
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 1: start getting excited. From seven seventeen to be exact.

395
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 3: P M.

396
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: King Kyle is going to be back in the pool

397
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: for the one hundred meter freestyle heats. Remember the last

398
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: games he lost to Caleb Dressel from the US, So

399
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: that's going to be a huge matchup heading into this one,

400
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: but we are expecting I'm expecting King Kyle. As we

401
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: saw in the relay, he is hungry. He smashed the

402
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: world record I think in his split for that four

403
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: y one hundred meter reli he was going that fast,

404
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: but it doesn't technically count because it's a really anyway,

405
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: we can't go into it, but he will be looking

406
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: to do some damage. Molly o Callahan, our golden girl.

407
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 2: Isaka's one hundred meters and she's swimming with freedom.

408
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 1: That's from eight forty seven tonight as well tomorrow morning.

409
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: I don't want any complaints. Set your alarm. Four point

410
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: fifty six a m. The women's one hundred meter backstroke final.

411
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: We've been complaining about some maybe potentially lackluster celebrations. Kaylee

412
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: McEwan is.

413
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 3: Not gonna paye.

414
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 1: She's not gonna be that and she is our backstroke queen.

415
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: She is the defending champion. She's qualified second fastest. Also

416
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: look out for Iona Anderson, who's also made it into

417
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 1: the final. Five two am the eight hundred meter freestyle

418
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: final with a little silver note with a little known

419
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 1: silver medalist, Elijah Winnington.

420
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 2: Do you think Caylee's sitting back and being like this

421
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 2: has been fun freestyle girls, now hold my beer. Yes,

422
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 2: because in terms of backstroke, holds the world record across

423
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 2: the board and her dominance is unparalleled.

424
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, but she also has such a big rivalry rivalry

425
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: with the American swimmer. So actually watch that. It's going

426
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: to be really really tired. I don't want that now,

427
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: you could be It could be really really tight. Obviously

428
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: will win, but.

429
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 3: It's going to be tight.

430
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 2: Boomers are going to be on action and you don't

431
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 2: really have to set your alarms. I mean nine thirty,

432
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 2: that's very palatable. That's a guessata.

433
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: We got this. We got this.

434
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 2: And the men's triathlon, this story has blown my mind.

435
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 2: So imagine you get to a games your readers from

436
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 2: the triathlon and then they have poured one and a

437
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 2: half billion billion dollars into the send. They may as

438
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 2: well have like shredded it and put it in for

439
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 2: how dirty one and a half billion dollars would have

440
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 2: made this end because it still has nine times the

441
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 2: level of acceptable ecoli for competition. And we have seen

442
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 2: reporters from Australia, We've seen the mayor from Paris swim

443
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 2: and say it's fine. Medicine is saying it's not fine.

444
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. And in the event that it stays not fine,

445
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: I mean this event is meant to start at four

446
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: pm today. I don't know whether that it's going to happen,

447
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: but if it stays not fine, the triathon will become

448
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 1: a dew athlon, which means the swimming leg will just

449
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: be taken out and it becomes a running and a

450
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 1: cycling race, which I can't remember ever seeing. So that

451
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: is one to watch.

452
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 2: Georgie fun fact, yay, fun fact.

453
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 3: Quick one to finish this quick one to finish it off?

454
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 3: Did you know?

455
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 2: And the cauldron has very much been related to a

456
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 2: hot air balloon, hasn't it.

457
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 1: Yes, it looks like a hot air balloon, so yes,

458
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: and you read it parallels.

459
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 2: What's the relevance there, Well, the French were the first

460
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 2: to sell a hot air balloon. But also hot air

461
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 2: ballooning was at the Paris Games in nineteen hundred. It

462
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 2: was the only time that hot air ballooning has ever

463
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 2: been an event. And that is not even my fun

464
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 2: fact because the gold medalist for the one and only

465
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 2: time that it's ever run, Cormetti Henri de Vallou, do

466
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 2: not look that up. Became the first to fly from

467
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 2: France to Russia. So basically they all took off and

468
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 2: just as far as you'd go, and you won gold.

469
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 2: So he has landed in Russia a gold medalist. But

470
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 2: immediately upon landing his balloon, he was taken into custody

471
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 2: because he didn't have a passport as requested by Saint Petersburg.

472
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 2: But he didn't have the passport as requested by Saint Petersburg.

473
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 2: He was kept in custody for a day, no one

474
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 2: knowing what the games were. So he has said to them,

475
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 2: I'm competing at the games, and they go, you've made

476
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 2: that up, sure, spy, you are a spy. He was

477
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 2: eventually released and he claimed and I wish this was

478
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 2: a made up quote, but I've verified it everywhere. The

479
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 2: Russian officers persecuted me by opening so much of my

480
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 2: French Champagne. I was in great distress because he had

481
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 2: Champagne on the balloon to an end, because for when

482
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 2: he won gold.

483
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: Anyway, that is our second edition of two Good Sports,

484
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,360
Speaker 1: Greed and Gold. We are loving the series so far.
