So we've brought this woman on 14 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: to talk with us about it. 15 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 2: She curls the ball back Gus Philip's full. It's a 16 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,160 Speaker 2: bit of space for the first goal of the afternoon. 17 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: She curls at home, laps of fortune bombing up long. 18 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: How will it count?

Now let's 21 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: talk of got this Opal's body suit. Yeah, which is 22 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: the hot top, which is which is contentious. All of 23 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 1: a sudden, I thought Woods and I were flying the 24 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: feminist flag you and saying, well, women shouldn't have to 25 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 1: wear I don't want them to. And then all of 26 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: a sudden, I'm finding out it's like the equivalent of 27 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: wearing the baggy green for you guys in the basketball. 28 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, the body suit was very iconic Opals, and 29 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,199 Speaker 2: even when I was going out watching the Opals play, 30 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 2: it was like, you know, they wear the body suits, 31 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 2: and it was when it was my turn to get 32 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 2: in and them, I was like, oh my god. I 33 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 2: actually felt kind of like almost naked. When I first 34 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 2: got in it. I felt like I had to cover up. 35 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 2: It was so strange, and and then you kind of 36 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 2: just got used to it, and it kind of became 37 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 2: something that I really liked, because you know, when you 38 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 2: play basketball, girls just grab they hold onto you. With 39 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 2: the body suits, they couldn't grob anything. It was just 40 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 2: so tight skin. But so navigating through can camel her 41 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 2: I was an ex fan of that is well. 42 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: Luckily it's a nice, you know, navy sort of a 43 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: color on the bottom end. Obviously, the first worn the 44 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: women's opals basketball kit with it was first worn the 45 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,959 Speaker 1: bodysuit in nineteen ninety six when the bronze medal was 46 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: w Which Olympics did you play it? You won the silver, 47 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: did you not? 48 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 2: Yeah? So Beijing in two thousand and eight it was 49 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 2: my first Olympics, and then twenty sixteen and Rio we 50 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 2: wore the shots and singlets, and then so god who 51 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 2: experienced both. Obviously comfort wise, the shots and the singlets 52 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 2: were you know, ten times more comfortable. But yeah, there's 53 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 2: something about the bodysuits. And I know the girls this 54 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 2: year in Tokyo, they were all all in favor of 55 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 2: bringing it back. So you know, for me, as long 56 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 2: as everyone was comfortable, like, you know, more power to here. 57 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 2: So yeah, this Noruegian I've been listening to the Norwegian 58 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 2: handball team. Like I kin't of imagine playing in a bikini. 59 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 2: I mean it was hard enough playing in a body, 60 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 2: so playing in a and bay the bottoms, you know, 61 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 2: like so wild.

You're just constantly adjusting 71 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: your clothes because you're on national TV in a bikini, 72 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: rolling around in the sand, and there's obviously a camera 73 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: which is dedicated to weggie picking. 74 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 2: It's get so tight.

We joked a little bit before 84 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: about the fact that the waylifters have got to lift 85 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty kilos in elliotad. But like, do 86 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: you think that there? Well, when you go to the Olympics, 87 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: is there any movement there, Like you're actually allowed to say, hey, 88 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: look I don't feel comfortable wearing that, kid, Like, is 89 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: there any chance for that or is it just like mate, 90 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: you're in the Olympic team, you wear what you're given. 91 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, look, I think so.

I know they changed in London. I think 94 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 2: it was just a group decision. We come together and said, hey, 95 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 2: you know, this is the old fashion now.
