Speaker 4: Trade secrets. It's a lot different. I haven't bought any

27
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 4: baked goods, but I bought graped goods. Well.

28
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,199
Speaker 2: Oh no, it's gonna be a long line.

29
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,000

37
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: take a look around the grounds. In tennis. On Sunday morning,

38
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 1: Poland's Eagish Fiontech claimed her first US Open title, beating

39
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: Tunisia's On Jibur in straight sets, six to seven six.

40
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: It was her second Grand Slam victory of the season

41
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: and the twenty one. I can't believe she's only twenty one.

42
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, she plays with such composure, doesn't she.

43
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: She's just very laid back for a twenty one year old.

44
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: She looks super comfortable holding down the top spot in

45
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: the women's game. The performance was in front of a

46
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 1: huge and very loud New York crowd. There was a

47
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: lot of emotions in that New York crowd across the

48
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: tournament with Serena Nick Kirios, there was a.

49
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 2: Lot going on.

50
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 4: I don't want to be that person that says, oh,

51
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 4: you've been there, but I had.

52
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: Did you almost fall down? It was so steep.

53
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: It was very steep. But it is a different tennis

54
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 3: environment New York.

55
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: Mmm, not as many rules and regulations. It seef someone

56
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 1: was getting a haircut in the crowd.

57
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, and they just they wander around midpoint

58
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 3: because you know, the honeyjew mellon cocktails finished, they need

59
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 3: to eat a new one.

60
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: I don't even know where I'm up to, but she

61
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: was very mate. Triante was very composed in front of

62
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: the pretty crazy crowd, and she displayed qualities well beyond

63
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: her years. She was powerful in the first set, but

64
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 1: Juber stepped up her game in the second and took

65
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: it all the way to a tie break. The world

66
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: number one s Fiontek held her nerve to win her

67
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: third major, adding to her two French Opens that were

68
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: won in twenty twenty two. And twenty twenty. After the match,

69
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: she highlighted the atmosphere. She said, this tournament was really

70
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: challenging because it's New York. It's so loud, it's so crazy,

71
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: so good.

72
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 2: I don't know what my accent was just then. It

73
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: was weird.

74
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 4: Definitely not Polish, no or American.

75
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: Prior to the tournament, Sfiontek was critical of the different

76
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: size of tennis war Us.

77
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: We chatted about this a couple of weeks ago.

78
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: In the rap it does seem like she managed to

79
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: get used to the lighter balls. I think, what are they?

80
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: Two to three grams lighter? Which for someone doing thousands

81
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: of repetitions of something makes a difference, right.

82
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 4: Which difference?

83
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 3: Maybe if you kicked a footy for a whole year

84
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 3: and then for one game you play with a different

85
00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 3: size footy.

86
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: Silly doesn't make sense to me.

87
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: Her heavy top spin forehand allowed her to take charge

88
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: from the baseline in the final, and she really controlled

89
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: the tempo and the trajectory of the points.

90
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: She rang her all over the court.

91
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: And never really allowed her to use the sort of

92
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: spins and variety that she relies so heavily on. Shibrion

93
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: Tek thanked her box on court, saying, you guys know

94
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 1: how tough it was basically, and I'm pretty certain I

95
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: gave you all a hard time. You're the ones who

96
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: are smarter and know what to do, even though I'm stubborn.

97
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be here, So

98
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: thank you.

99
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: Love that.

100
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 3: It's typical athlete response to that. Because you are elite athletes,

101
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 3: you're all stubborn and driven.

102
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 4: You have to be. I like that. She just called

103
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 4: it out and put a hand up.

104
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: In some excellent Australian tennis news, John Piers and Storm

105
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: Sanders became the first Australian since two thousand and one

106
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: to claim the US Open Mixed doubles titles title with

107
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: a four to six six four ten seven win over

108
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: Belgian Kurston Flipkins and Francis Edouard Roger Vassln. It was

109
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: their first Grand Slam title as a team and Sanders

110
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: was pumped to be on Arthur Ash Stadium. She said

111
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: after the match, I can't believe where Grand Slam champions

112
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: to play on the biggest court in the world is

113
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: a very memorable experience. We'll be back next year. They

114
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: had one of the best in the sense cheering them

115
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: on in stam Stone, Stam Stozer Am Stoza, I mean,

116
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: I don't mind it Sam Stoza and Sanders.

117
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 2: It's confusing. There's a lot of Essa's, there's a lot

118
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: of literation.

119
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: Lisp called her out post match, saying it's a pleasure

120
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: to play in front of a champion like you.

121
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 2: I love that respect. It's cool.

122
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 4: It is here for it.

123
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 3: In NRLW, in the Battle of the undefeated sides, it

124
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 3: was the Sydney Roosters that got the win and secured

125
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 3: the minor premiership. On Sunday, Throwsters skipped out to an

126
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 3: early ten year lead after only eight minutes, but a

127
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 3: huge second half of the Newcastle forward pack resulted in

128
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 3: a late try to Caitlyn Johnston, who crashed over with

129
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 3: only ten minutes to go to give the Knights to lead.

130
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 3: But there was a few minutes left on the clock

131
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 3: and Rooster Isabel Kelly picked up a loose pass from

132
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 3: the Knights and raced eighteen meters to cross from meat

133
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 3: Pie and take the Roosters to an eighteen to sixteen victory.

134
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 2: That's a clutch play heartbreak.

135
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 4: For the Knights.

136
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 3: There was some controversy leading into the match, with Newcastle

137
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 3: Knight and Australian Rep Caitlin Moran playing off the bench.

138
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 3: Moran is currently being investigated by NROL for allegedly posting

139
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 3: a slur about the Queen following the monarch's death. The post,

140
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 3: that was on her Instagram account for a number of

141
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 3: hours before being deleted, allegedly celebrated the fact that the

142
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 3: Queen had passed away. I think we might be hearing

143
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 3: a little bit more about that in the weeks to come.

144
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 3: I didn't see the post myself, but if what I've

145
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 3: seen is legit, that's thumb a bit ordinary. In a

146
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 3: first for the NROLW, the Saint George Dragon's got a

147
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 3: much needed win in extra time. Rachel pierced and drained

148
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 3: a field goal which saw the Dragons clinch the first

149
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 3: ever NROLW golden point finish against the Broncos. Cool Brisbane

150
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 3: drew level in the final minute when Ali brings Or

151
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 3: crossed under the sticks before Taron Aitkins conversion tied it

152
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 3: up at eighteen all. Being sure, I actually had the

153
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 3: first crack at winning an extra time after the Broncos

154
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 3: took the kickoff and marched up the field, but her

155
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 3: attempt at field goal fell just short. The win was

156
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 3: a Dragon's third of the year, and they've got a

157
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 3: massive match coming up against the Knights in the third

158
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 3: game of next weekend's triple header at Central Coastadium.

159
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: Love a triple header in afl W, the first ever

160
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: Sidney Derby was played on the weekend and the GWS

161
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: Giants were the first to earn bragging. Right before we

162
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: get into that, Yeah, are you I was seeing you

163
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: Derby or Derby Derby? My team got quizzed about it.

164
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: I'll say Derby. So I was a bit unsure for

165
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: a while. I'd definitely say Derby. I think because you

166
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: forced me to. I'm going to put a poll to

167
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: the people on Instagram.

168
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so let the people speak. I think

169
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 3: Derby's a very Victorian, maybe Western Australian thing.

170
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: But also name another word in the English language where

171
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: the E is an a.

172
00:07:58,880 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 4: Oh, come on, English suck?

173
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: English is That's what I mean. English is stupid. But

174
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: why is it Derby?

175
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 4: I don't know. Because the Rats are merely playing at

176
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 4: to Derby. I'm right amazing.

177
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: Back to the Giants. The Giants were exceptional at their

178
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: SCG winning nine goals eleven sixty five are highest score

179
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: ever actually to two goals six eighteen Giants' debutante Zali

180
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: Goldsworthy kicked two goals in the match and the seventeen

181
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: year old.

182
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 2: Is she's awesome.

183
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: She's just got this real flare about her. She just

184
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: kicks these check side goals off the side of her

185
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: boot like she's.

186
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: Been doing it.

187
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 4: When she ignored, Cora.

188
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: Didn't mind it. She's got she's got a bit of

189
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: confidence on her.

190
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 4: I'm all about it.

191
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, And I thought I was just standing there,

192
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 3: but she's like, num, I'm having this.

193
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

194
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was quite good.

195
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 1: She's and I think for Cora Staunton, for those who

196
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: don't know Irish Royalty, who plays at the Giants, recently

197
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: kicked her fiftieth af W goal in six seasons. I

198
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: think for Cora it takes a little bit of pressure

199
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: off her in the forward line, having young kids like

200
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: Zali coming through and taking a bit of bit more

201
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: of the footy and allowing chorusm space. Speaking of Corres Daunton,

202
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 1: she also kicked two goals. It was also indigenous around

203
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: this weekend, so all eighteen teams were wearing their indigenous

204
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 1: jerseys and a welcome to Country scheduled for the start

205
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: of each match, but on Friday night, the pregame between

206
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: the Western Bulldogs and Freemantle was changed last minute when

207
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: the person scheduled to deliver the welcome to Country withdrew

208
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: after learning of the AFL's decision to have a minute

209
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: silence for the Queen. As players from both Fremantle and

210
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: the Western Bulldogs stood together in arms, Culture is Life

211
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: CEO Belinda Dart took the microphone to announce the last

212
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: minute change following her Majesty's passing in the early hours

213
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: of Friday morning. She said, unfortunately, due to sorry business,

214
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: a Welcome to Country was unable to be conducted today.

215
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: We send our deepest condolences to the families who have

216
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: been affected by this and with respect to families and community,

217
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: we stand in silence with you also. Today together we

218
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: play in honor and sell lebration of first peoples across

219
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: this country. Off the back of that, the AFL made

220
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: a decision to scrap plans to hold a minute silence

221
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: before remaining AFLW matches due to associated cultural insensitivities, so

222
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: a lot of the clubs I think from there had

223
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: written to the AFL in agreement with this fact that

224
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: there shouldn't be a minute silence, particularly during Indigenous round.

225
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: And so the memo two to eighteen clubs AFL wrote

226
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: as AFL Season seven rounds three and for Indigenous rounds

227
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: all existing plans to respect and on an Aboriginal and

228
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: Torrestrait Islander peoples will proceed as planned. But I think

229
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: a really good outcome, and I think really good the

230
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: fact that the clubs all kind of approach the AFL

231
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 1: and said for Indigenous round, we don't think it's appropriate

232
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: to be doing this.

233
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 4: Absolutely agree.

234
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 3: In cycling, Aussie cyclist Grace Brown is in the perfect

235
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 3: form for a big showing at the World Championships, which

236
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 3: are coming up this weekend. Brown won the third stage

237
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 3: of the Sarah ZiT Challenge by Lovuertza in Spain with

238
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 3: a clever sprint from a two women group. Brown caught

239
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 3: a lease shabby on the line after two riders, opened

240
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: up a gap in the last eight kilometers of the

241
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 3: stage and held off the slightly disorganized chase group to

242
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 3: contest the finish. It's perfect timing for Brown, who'll be

243
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 3: looking to deliver Australia a world title in the opening

244
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 3: event of the UCI World Road Championships in Woollongong next week.

245
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 3: The women's Elite time trial event will be held on Sunday,

246
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 3: September eighteenth and launches the two week World Champs. In

247
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 3: an historic first, the women's and men's races will be

248
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 3: exactly the same length and use the same thirty four

249
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 3: point two kiometer.

250
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 4: City circuit course.

251
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 3: We love that organizes the Woollongong World Championships sort and

252
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 3: received approval from the UCI to equalize the men's and

253
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 3: women's time trial, which can sometimes differ in length way

254
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 3: up to twenty kilometers.

255
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: Particularly for cycling. That doesn't make any sense to me

256
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 1: at all.

257
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 4: I totally agree. I love that perplexed look on your face.

258
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 2: Happens, often, happens.

259
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 3: Often always, Learning Australian cycling champion Cape b it's highlight

260
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 3: of the change, saying it is a really historic moment

261
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 3: for the time trial at the World Champs because it

262
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 3: is the first time ever that the men and the

263
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 3: women will race the same distance over the same course.

264
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 4: That's never happened before. That's huge.

265
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 3: The second element to that is the women are actually

266
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 3: going first, and so it's the women's elite time trial

267
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 3: that opens the whole championships.

268
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 4: I think that's really symbolic.

269
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 3: It is a huge sign of respect for the athletes

270
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 3: and for showing it they are supporting gender equity beyond

271
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 3: being a home crowd advantage. It is a real moment

272
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 3: in history for all of the athletes involved, but also

273
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 3: for the Australians who get to be a part of

274
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 3: that very symbolic.

275
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 4: Change in programming. We love that, Go Grace Brown.

276
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: In rugby, the World Cup Sevens is being played in

277
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: South Africa and at the time of recording, the Aussies

278
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: are about to come up against the US in the

279
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: semi final where Sunday night right now, Sunday night semifinal

280
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: and then it's the final Monday, early hours of Monday maying.

281
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 3: I think so the semis at nine to five pm

282
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 3: and then the I think the finals three am ish.

283
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: Anyway, when you're listening to this podcast, it already will

284
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: have happened. So fingers crossed for the Assis. If they

285
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: can knock the US off in the semi they'll come

286
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: up against either the Kiwis or France in the final.

287
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: They had a really solid quarter final win over England

288
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 1: thirty five to five, with faith Nathan scoring a hat trick.

289
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 2: Early in the.

290
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: Tournament, they provided one of the most wholesome moments of

291
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: the year I would say. They donated their second playing

292
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: kit to the team from Madagascar before their match against

293
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: the side they found out their rivals had turned up

294
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 1: to the tournament with just one kit for both training

295
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: and competition, having self funded their participation in the comp

296
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: So the Ozzie Girls shared a moment in the chained

297
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: rooms with Madagascar when they handed over their green jersey,

298
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: which features their indigenous design, to Madagascar to use as

299
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: training gear.

300
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 2: It was really really cool.

301
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, all the fields watching that. Yeah, also from the girls,

302
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 3: I loved that. Also self funding.

303
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: Like the Ossie Girls did not show the same kind

304
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: of compassion on the field they they put them to

305
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: the sword forty eight nil jet Faith Nathan became the

306

00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 3: Materials again produced what was can only be described as

319
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 3: an in inconsistent performance. I absolutely dominated Canada the Canada

320
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 3: in the first half of Tuesday Night's rematch were one

321
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 3: of the best forty five minutes of football under coach

322
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 3: Tony Gustafson. Joses were ex exceptional early and they were

323
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 3: awarded with a goal in just the third minute. Sam

324
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 3: kurve diagonal run into the box was met with a

325
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 3: deft pass from Courtney Vine and the Chelsea Superstar managed

326
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 3: to squirt a low cross straight into the path of

327
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 3: Mary Fowler for an easy finish from the center of

328
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 3: the box. Caitlin Ford was also excellent and had a

329
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 3: penalty shout waved away in the thirty seventh minute that

330
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 3: I was shouting for too just quietly and the Matildas

331
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 3: really should have gone into halftime more than one mill up.

332
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 3: The second half was a completely different kettle of bananas.

333
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 3: Canada were all over us. They scored in the forty

334
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 3: eighth and the sixty seven sixty second minutes, with Manchester

335
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 3: United's winger Adriana Leon bearing both opportunities. The match finished

336
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 3: to to one and the pressure on the Matilda's and

337
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 3: their coach Gustavan is building. It's only ten months from

338
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 3: a home World Cup and given the interest in spectacular

339
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 3: soccer on display in the recent European Cup, all eyes

340
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 3: will be on the tournament. The Matidas are a real

341
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 3: chance at home if they can get their best eleven

342
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 3: on the field, remove the areas in defense that are

343
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 3: definitely hurting them right now.

344
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: And the level of pressure that comes with a home

345
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: World Cup because of the opportunities, Like if they don't perform,

346
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: it kind of is an event. It's never going to

347
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: be an event. A fee for World Cup that's forgotten about.

348
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: But the level of impact that they can have if

349
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: they perform successfully is exponential, and.

350
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 3: There's no way they're not. The players aren't aware of

351
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 3: that kind of pressure. I mean, look, don't get me wrong,

352
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 3: Canada one gold too defending it's their fifth in the world,

353
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 3: and our next opponent is Sweden, who I think are

354
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 3: fourth in the world. They all want to come here

355
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 3: and they're all doing testa runs at the World Cup,

356
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 3: so we're getting to play them, which is great. Yeah,

357
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 3: they want to see the stadiums, know what it's like

358
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 3: to travel so far down here in Australia, so far away.

359
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 2: Right a kangaroo to school.

360
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 3: So look, it's good opposition, but the reality is that,

361
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 3: you know, I think Australia expects the Matilda's to at

362
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 3: least be in the Semis and that's big pressure.

363
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: And I think I often talk about winning being a habit.

364
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: You want to play against quality opposition, but you also

365
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: want to prepare for a tournament as big as the

366
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: World Cup with some wins under your belt so that

367
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: you know that level of game management and control as well.

368
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 3: Absolutely, because stuff has said after the match that externally,

369
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 3: when you see us losing, maybe there starts to be

370
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 3: a lack of faith or lack of hope or lack

371
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 3: of belief. I've said it before and I'll say it again.

372
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 3: There's a difference between expectations and belief. When I took

373
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 3: over this team, I believed in it. I said, I

374
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 3: think this team in the future could become one of

375
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 3: the best teams in the world. We're not there now.

376
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 3: We need to be real. We're not the best team

377
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 3: in the world right now, but we know when we

378
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 3: play our best, we can beat the best team in

379
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 3: the world in a one off, especially if we have

380
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 3: all the players available and we're firing.

381
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 4: How do you feel about that chat?

382
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 1: I don't like one off because I'm talking about when

383
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: you knew exactly what I was can say. I talk

384
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: about winning being a habit. The best athletes and the

385
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: best teams in the world are consistent. Consistency is my other.

386
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: I don't care about a one off. I don't like

387
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: one off.

388
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 3: I think Poe's just applied for the Matilla's coaching role.

389
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 3: Everyone we will have another chance to get the group firing.

390
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 3: When Sweden traveled to Australia, as we said, for a

391
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 3: friendly on Saturday, the twelfth of November, it is it

392
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 3: must be frustrating for the team as well, because when

393
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 3: they're good, they're really, really good.

394
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 4: It's there, It's absolutely there.

395
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: In basketball, the WNBA finals have been set and Game

396
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: one was played on Monday. The finals will see the

397
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Aces take on the Connecticut Sun in the

398
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: best of five series. The Las Vegas Aces beat the

399
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 1: Storm ninety seven to ninety two. Bes is a little

400
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: bit devastated in Game four of their semi final series

401
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 1: on Tuesday last week to advance to the finals. The

402
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: loss for the Storm saw the retirement of super Bird,

403
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: who helped the Storm make the playoffs for the sixteenth

404
00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: time in the nineteen seasons she played. When we talk

405
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: about consistency, sixteen from nineteen finals appearances is out of control.

406
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 4: I think you spell consistency, Sue.

407
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: She's amazing, isn't she. She's forty one, one of Lauren

408
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: Jackson's best mates. Hey, we haven't talked about this. The

409
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,719
Speaker 1: Lauren Jackson podcast episode is dropping this week.

410
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 4: Can't wait.

411
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: I cannot believe the fact that I grew up playing basketball.

412
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: I wanted to be Lauren Jackson. I wanted to follow

413
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: in her footsteps and go to four Olympics.

414
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 3: I haven't listened to it yet because you did it

415
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,719
Speaker 3: only recently, but I just like, on a scale of

416
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 3: one to ridiculous, how much did you, fangirl?

417
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: I had to try really hard to be smooth, but

418
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: I wasn't very smooth. I was pretty nervous. The thing

419
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 1: that I loved the most about it is she was

420
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: so open and honest with me, and she just seems.

421
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 2: Very laid back.

422
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: She's got this really interesting perspective about life and about

423
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 1: basketball now. I think like after retiring, going away, having kids,

424
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: and coming back, she's just so thankful for every opportunity.

425
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 1: It was a seriously cool chat. So that'll be dropping

426
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: Thursday this week. Heard it here first.

427
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 3: I don't wait, Yeah, not wait, because I haven't listened

428
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 3: to it, and I'm actually really pumped it anyway.

429
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: The reason I segued into that, Lauren Jackson on the

430
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: podcast actually was in tears when she talked about her

431
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 1: best friend, Sue Bird retiring and the impact that Sue

432
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: has had on the game. So Sue announced in June

433
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,199
Speaker 1: that she'd retire after the season, and the loss on

434
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: her home court marked the end of an incredible era.

435
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: As fans cheered and chanted thank you, Sue Bird stood

436
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: on the court and cried. At a postgame presser, she

437
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 1: said that she hadn't wanted to leave the court so

438
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: that she could soak it all in, and then she

439
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: started to cry again. I know, the tears don't look

440
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: like happy tears, but there's a lot of happiness. The

441
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: loss means that Ezzie mag Bigore and Steph Talbert, the

442
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: Aussies are going to be able to join their opals

443
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: team earlier than if the Storm progressed to the finals.

444
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 1: So there's a bit of silver lining in the lead

445
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: up to the World Cup kicking off on September twenty second.

446
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 4: Huge, huge.

447
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: In the second semi final, the Connecticut son overcame an

448
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: eleven point deficit. Those numbers aren't even close in the

449
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, beating the Chicago Sky seventy two to sixty

450
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: three in their Game five clash.

451
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 4: This is outrageous. What happened here?

452
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 2: You tell us?

453
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 3: Connecticut scored the final eighteen points of the game.

454
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 2: It was huge.

455
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 4: It was like it was like Chicago, I just left

456
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 4: the court.

457
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 2: What happened?

458
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 4: When done? We're out? So they were down.

459
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 3: Sixty three to fifty four, they win seventy two to

460
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 3: sixty three.

461
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: It was strange. Yeah, there was talk of Candas Parker

462
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: walking off the court early.

463
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 4: There was a lot going on. Anyway.

464
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 3: The other cool start in regards the WNBA is the

465
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 3: Chicago Sky. Obviously disappointed, but they were attempting to become

466
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 3: the first team to repeat as WNBA champions since the

467
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 3: La Sparks in two thousand and one. So no one's

468
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 3: gone back to back for twenty years. Over twenty years

469
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 3: a long time.

470
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's take a look at the key story.

471
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 4: In surfing. So we said it last week.

472
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: We called it that's really selfish to say that steph

473
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: Gilmore did all the work.

474
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 3: She also had a little bit of a sign from

475
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 3: a double grape tomato. Obviously must have been having sale

476
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 3: or something the day before and there was like a

477
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 3: tomato that came and it was in it was connected

478
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 3: together like little baby grape tomatoes in the shape of

479
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 3: an eight, and she would put it on her instants

480
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 3: like this could be a sign.

481
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 2: Hey, it was a sign.

482
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 4: So it was either us of the tomato unsure tomato.

483
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 4: Definitely us.

484
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 3: Anyway, we said if anyone could win the world title

485
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 3: from fifth, it was Stephanie Gilmore, and she did not

486
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 3: let us down. Gilmore hit the water first at Lower

487
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 3: Trestles in California and defeated Brusa, Hennessy, Tadiana, Western Web

488
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 3: and finally Joanne de Fay in three sudden death heats

489
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 3: that earned her the right to face off against world

490
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 3: number one CHRISA. Moore in a best of three heat battle.

491
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 3: Or was a defending champ and was looking to secure

492
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 3: her six world title, but Gilmore had the momentum and

493
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 3: she was dominant in the first heat, posting a fifteen

494
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 3: point total, a bit more who could only post ten

495
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 3: point nine from her two best waves. A win in

496
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 3: heat to would seal a record eighth world title for Gilmore,

497
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 3: and the goat could not be stopped. Surfing was just incredible,

498
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 3: Like she looks so smooth, so in.

499
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 2: Control, consistent.

500
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it is. It's possibly not a bad

501
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 3: shout to say that. Actually surfing all day, and yes,

502
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 3: she had to surf three sudden death heats before a

503
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 3: best of three, so it's.

504
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 4: A long day. They're long heats. It's pretty taxing.

505
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 3: But I think there's something to be said for she

506
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 3: was obviously used to the conditions and you know, just

507
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 3: at one with the wave nights, so zen surfing is

508
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 3: zenzen and she was just too good for Christa again

509
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 3: in that second heat, winning fifteen point two to three

510
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 3: to eleven point ninety seven.

511
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: The victory means that Gilmour is now on top of

512
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: the world's title list, with her wind taking her past

513
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: Lane Beachley after claiming the twenty eighteen world title. Gilmore

514
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,239
Speaker 1: had spent four years level with her childhood idol on

515
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 1: seven titles. Apiece the Journey to Goatness is now complete.

516
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: I really enjoy that sentence. It's one of your best.

517
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 2: Actually.

518
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: Gilmore's eight world titles span three separate decades two thousand

519
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: and seven, eight nine, ten, twelve, fourteen, eighteen and twenty two,

520
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: and it's only eclipsed by male surfer.

521
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 2: Kelly Slater, who has eleven.

522
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: She's also one of the most WSL events of any

523
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 1: women with thirty three, and is the only surfer to

524
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: win a world title in their debut season.

525
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 3: Gilmore was super humble after the final, heaping praise on

526
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 3: More when she said, I was really proud to make

527
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,719
Speaker 3: it past Brissa, Tadiana, Joanne, all of the most awesome

528
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 3: female surfers in the world, and to the final against Chrissa, who,

529
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 3: in my mind, she's the real world champ this year.

530
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 3: She had such a steady year, so many one performances,

531
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 3: and I'm so inspired by what she does. When asked

532
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 3: about the somewhat controversial format, which is only in its

533
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 3: second year. Gilmore noted her opinion may have changed after

534
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 3: her win. I disliked this format to be honest, the

535
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 3: world champ should be crowned in all different waves over

536
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 3: the entire period of the year. And now I love it.

537
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: I have.

538
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 3: A chance. Let's just prove this whole system is wrong.

539
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 3: If you can come from the bottom, come from fifth

540
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 3: and winter all title, that's freaking cool.

541
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,719
Speaker 1: I like that she changed her mind and she owned it. Yeah,

542
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,959
Speaker 1: because I haven't decided on the format thing. Whether I

543
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 1: like it or not, it doesn't matter what I think.

544
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: But I it's kind of tricky because do you reward

545
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: someone performing that well throughout the entire season, or do

546
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: you reward the person like Steph who rocks up on

547
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: the day and wins sudden death after sudden death.

548
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 3: It does feel to me, as someone that's watched surfing

549
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 3: for a while, that it's a made for TV.

550
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 2: Product, which sport is a business.

551
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 3: At the end of the day, you know, there was

552
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 3: there was watching Steph go on that run. Obviously, unfortunately

553
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 3: it was in the middle of the morning for us,

554
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 3: but I did get to see I've taped it all.

555
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 3: It's compelling television. I definitely see there's positive and negatives

556
00:25:58,440 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 3: to the event, for sure.

557
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: I think regardless of what she said about Crissa, she's

558
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 1: probably selling herself a little bit short given the challenges

559
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 1: that she faced this season. She missed pipeline in Hawaii

560
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: after testing positive to COVID, and then had a poor

561
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: result in the following event at Sunset Beach. Those results

562
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 1: left her concern that she might fall victim to the

563
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: mid season cut, but like a true champion, she fought

564
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: hard and in her own words, I just had to

565
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 1: crawl my way back into the cut. It was such

566
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 1: an impressive effort from a true champion.

567
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 2: I love this.

568
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 1: Lane. Beachley weighed into the debate on a Tracks Magazine

569
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: Instagram post that had the caption the greatest female surfer

570
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: of all Time. Beachley's simple comment on that post was

571
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: legend we allowed to swear on this.

572
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 4: I don't know bad words language. I want a.

573
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: Beep in there, followed by eight trophy emojis. We agree, Lane,

574
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 1: we agree.

575
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 3: I also loved I sent you Crisa's post not long

576
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 3: after stepf had been waxing lyrical about how she felt

577
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 3: Crissa was a deservable champ and Chris was like she

578
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 3: basically said, shut up, Steph.

579
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: You rip amazing. Let's take a look at what to watch.
