1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Already and this is this is the daily This is

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: the Daily.

3
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 2: Ohs oh, now it makes sense.

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome to the Daily OS. It's Tuesday,

5
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: the thirteenth of August.

6
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 2: I'm Sam, I'm Emma.

7
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: And with that, the twenty twenty four Paris Olympic Games

8
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: comes to a close. It was Australia's best ever performance,

9
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: with our team coming home with eighteen gold medals. More

10
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 1: than nineteen million Australians tuned in to watch at least

11
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: one event, showing yet again that the Olympics is always

12
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: a key part of Australia's social narrative and shared history.

13
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: On today's podcast, Emma and I are going to turn

14
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,959
Speaker 1: to an examination of the legacy of Paris, as well

15
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 1: as a bit of a broader look at the medal

16
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: table and why we're particularly impressed with the efforts of

17
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: the tiny Caribbean island of Grenada. But first, here's what's

18
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: making headlines.

19
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: Authorities have confirmed the helicopter at the center of a

20
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: fatal crash in cans on Monday was not authorized to

21
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: fly when it collided with a hotel roof early in

22
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: the morning. The pilot and sole occupant of the chopper

23
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 2: died during the incident, which started a large fire at

24
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 2: the Double Tree Hotel. All guests were evacuated from the

25
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: hotel with no further injuries reported. In an update to

26
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 2: media yesterday, Nautilus Aviation, which owns the helicopter, said it

27
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: was working with Queensland Police and other authorities to investigate

28
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 2: the unauthorized use of one of its aircraft.

29
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,199
Speaker 1: New data claims Australia is responsible for around four point

30
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: five percent of the world's total fossil carbon dioxide emissions.

31
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: The report from Climate Analytics said quote Australia has a

32
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: global carbon footprint that far exceeds its economic size and population.

33
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: Researchers also found fossil fuel exports accounted for eighty percent

34
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: of Australia's carbon emission. From the nineteen sixties to twenty

35
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: twenty three, Australia's fossil fuel exports produced thirty billion tons

36
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: of CO two. Climate Analytics said it expects this figure

37
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: to increase by fifty percent in the next ten years

38
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: without policy action to reduce emissions.

39
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: A landslide in the capital of Uganda has left at

40
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 2: least twenty people dead. As the search for survivors continues,

41
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 2: many a feared trapped beneath the rubble after mounting waste

42
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 2: at a rubbish collection site in Kampala collapsed onto surrounding

43
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 2: homes over the weekend. Military forces have been deployed to

44
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: assist with rescue efforts as officials question why people were

45
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 2: allowed to live next to a quote potentially hazardous and

46
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 2: dangerous heap AID workers are on the ground assisting impacted

47
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: residents as clean up efforts continue.

48
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: And today's good news, Scientists in the US have developed

49
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: a blood test that can help detect whether a person

50
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: is at risk of deve diseases like Alzheimer's. The test,

51
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: nicknamed a protein clock, works by analyzing hundreds of proteins

52
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: found in the blood to determine a patient's disease status,

53
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: which is how likely they are to develop certain illnesses.

54
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: Health researchers at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston hope

55
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: the test will help in the early diagnosis of certain

56
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: chronic illnesses, including diabetes, cancer, or heart disease, by analyzing

57
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: risk factors beyond just chronological age.

58
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 2: So Sam deep breaths, the Olympics has concluded, but don't

59
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: be too sad, We've got a two week breather before

60
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 2: we jump right back into Paralympic action.

61
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the happiest time of year.

62
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: It's the gift that keeps on giving. Let's spend some

63
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: time though wrapping up the Paris Games. I would love

64
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: to chat through some of the highlights. A few weeks ago,

65
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 2: before this all kicked off, I was chatting Tazara on

66
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: the pod about whether or not Paris was Olympic ready.

67
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: With everything's said and done, I want to hear your thoughts,

68
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: your reflections in twenty plus year's time. How are you

69
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 2: going to remember these games?

70
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: This is always a really interesting question to jump into

71
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: straight after a tournament, to start thinking about the legacy

72
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: of these Olympics. And I think the sport was obviously incredible,

73
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: and the fact that the Australia won the most golds

74
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: is certainly going to be hard to forget. We might

75
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: beat it in La in four years time, don't jinx ITPT.

76
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: But if I answer that question honestly, I think the

77
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: thing I'll most likely remember about Paris is actually the

78
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: city of Paris yea, and the fact that we had

79
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: beach volleyball under the Eiffel Tower, equestrian at the Palace

80
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: of Versailles, the fencing and taekwondo happening in a literal palace,

81
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: even the fact that for all the road racing in

82
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: cycling and athletics, the finish line was always against this

83
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: backdrop of an iconic Parisian landmark like the Arc de Triomph.

84
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: It produced some of the most stunning images and videos

85
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: that I've ever seen in sport. And when I think

86
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: about what I'll be thinking about in twenty years, I

87
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: think I'm going to remember just the whole scene itself.

88
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a surreal setting. And we had spoken

89
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: about on the pot a couple of weeks ago that

90
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: Paris had decided to have these kind of pop up

91
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 2: venues in situ all around the city, that it didn't

92
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 2: go to these great lengths to build all this permanent

93
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 2: infrastructure in you know, the far flung suburbs of the city,

94
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 2: but you're right in the action, and didn't they do

95
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 2: a marvelous job of showcasing that city.

96
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: Definitely, And as we look ahead to Brisbane, which is

97
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: the host for the twenty thirty two Games, we have

98
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: to admit that that's perhaps a city that doesn't have

99
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: the same natural or architectural beauty as the City.

100
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: Of Love are talking about, Sam.

101
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: But it is interesting to consider what venues currently exist

102
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,679
Speaker 1: in Brisbane and the Gold Coast that could be used

103
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: as these kind of temporary facilities that are perhaps a

104
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: bit interesting. You know, I saw Australia Zoo being thrown

105
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: around online as perhaps a diving venue.

106
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: You know, Robert Owen is going to be all over

107
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 2: that one. But an interesting thing to consider, especially when

108
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 2: we're talking more about how to make games and big

109
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 2: events like this more sustainable and more affordable. Rather than

110
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 2: having to completely replan a city, what can you do

111
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: with what you've already got. So let's turn to the

112
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 2: actual sport. Sam and I know you've been going through

113
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 2: all the gold medal moments in some Bonus podcast episodes

114
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 2: that we've been doing. We will pop some links in

115
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 2: the show notes if you want to relive the magic.

116
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 2: But let's have a slightly different chat when we reflect. Now,

117
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: are there moments that you will remember from Paris that

118
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 2: don't just involve the Australian glory. There are, of course

119
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 2: hundreds of athletes, thousands of athletes from hundreds of countries.

120
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 2: What stands out to you away from the green and gold.

121
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I think we've spent quite a bit of

122
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: time focused on those eighteen golds, but away from that,

123
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: there was a lot and those moments have had a

124
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: really big impact on all of us. I do keep

125
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: thinking about the interview that Harry Garside gave after he

126
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: was knocked out in the first round of the men's boxing,

127
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: and for me, it really captured the highs and lows

128
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: of sport. Have a listen to some of that audio

129
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: courtesy of nine. It's crazy.

130
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 2: You made two decades dedicated to one drave and it's

131
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 2: only just like that.

132
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: I feel like a failure right now. I feel like

133
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: I don't even know what to say.

134
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 2: Harry.

135
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: The opposite, not a failure at all. Two time olympiad made.

136
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: It's amazing. Then you've got the gold medal and new

137
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: world record of Swedish pole vaulter armand duplanters. There was

138
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: such an explosion of joy from this twenty four year

139
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: old when he set that new world record of six

140
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: point two five meters. He's already broken the world record

141
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: nine times in his career and at twenty four, this

142
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: is not the last we're going to see of him

143
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: leaping and literally pushing the bar higher.

144
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: Imagine out doing yourself to that level nine times.

145
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: It's amazing at twenty four. At twenty four, then you

146
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: know to rattle off a couple of amazing moments that

147
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: will stick with me that don't involve the eighteen Australian Golds.

148
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: You've got the men's one hundred meters sprint ending in

149
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: a photo finish, the US women's basketball team winning yesterday

150
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: in their final by a single point. Hometown hero Leon

151
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,239
Speaker 1: Marshon sending crowds into an absolute frenzy with every gold

152
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: medal he's in the pool. Simoone Biles define gravity. Cindy

153
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: Nagumba securing the first ever medal for the Refugee Olympic team.

154
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: Katie Ladecki becoming the most successful American female athlete of

155
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: all time. Julian Alfred winning Saint Lucia's first ever medal

156
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: in style by taking out gold in one hundred meters sprint.

157
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: Not a bad first medal for your country. And of

158
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: course Snoop Doggie Dogs outfits.

159
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 2: Who could deny the unofficial mascot of the Paris Games.

160
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: I can't help but agree with you there with that list,

161
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: particularly in the pool this year. I mean, I can't

162
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 2: remember an Olympic swimming event or schedule that was so exciting.

163
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 2: Leon Marshawn, what an absolute force of nature, smashing some

164
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 2: of that legacy held by the likes of Michael Phelps

165
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: in the US. Katie Ludeci, I don't know if you

166
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 2: saw that viral graph of the top twenty times in

167
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 2: her event, and she has swam the fastest twenty in

168
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 2: that event. Just an absolute star of the pool. But

169
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 2: of course Team Australia, the dolphins in the pool, the

170
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: true Jens of this Games. Let's turn to the overall

171
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 2: medal tally. We know Australia performed the best they ever had.

172
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 2: Break it down for us in terms of how it

173
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 2: all ended and came out in the wash.

174
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: Well, it really took until almost the very last event

175
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: for the top of the table to be fully sorted out.

176
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: So the US just edged out China on the last

177
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: day of competition to finish first overall. Both the US

178
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: and China finished with forty gold medals, but the US

179
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: took that top spot on the ladder because they won

180
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: more silver medals. They won forty four compared to China's

181
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: twenty seven.

182
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 2: Forty gold medals, what did we have eighteen?

183
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: But when you think about population, I'm going to go

184
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: into that in a sec but absolutely, you know, these

185
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: are two massive countries with massive population bases. So Australia

186
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 1: is still doing pretty well.

187
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 2: So take me to Australia's part in the overall picture.

188
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: Well, we didn't slip out of the top five almost

189
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: the entire tournament, which is just amazing. Normally we have

190
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,599
Speaker 1: this strong start because of the swimming, and then we

191
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: might fade a little bit down the ladder get out

192
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: of that top five.

193
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 2: I'm sure I'm not the only one to admit that

194
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 2: sometimes second week slump you sort of stop paying attention

195
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 2: when the glory stops.

196
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: Definitely, But you know, we finished in fourth place and

197
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: that eighteen medals, you're going to hear that a lot.

198
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: That is the most we've ever won. We were behind

199
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: Japan who took third place with twenty gold medals. The

200
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: host nation France, they rounded out the top five. They

201
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: won sixteen gold medals. It's worth noting that there was

202
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: that kind of host city halo effect continuing for France.

203
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,599
Speaker 1: It was their best Olympic performance since they hosted the

204
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: Games in Paris in nineteen hundred. They hosted the Games

205
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: one more time in nineteen twenty four, but it's taken

206
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: them one hundred and twenty four years to break their

207
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: previous record. It wasn't such good news though for Great

208
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: Britain across the Channel. They finished in seventh on the ladder,

209
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: which is their lowest position since Athens in two thousand

210
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: and four.

211
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 2: One of my favorite things at the end of an

212
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 2: Olympic Games is looking at some of the online stats.

213
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 2: There are so many experts out there who layer on

214
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 2: that extra analysis and I know you, being the sports

215
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 2: nerd that you are, have spent a lot of time

216
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 2: looking at that analysis. What did you learn?

217
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: So it's always interesting to kind of overlay different factors

218
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: with the way that countries performed at the Olympics. And

219
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: NBC had some really interesting analysis. So when you look

220
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: at medals per capita or in relation to GDPs.

221
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 2: So we're talking there about the size of a country

222
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: and the.

223
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 1: Wealth of a country exactly, that's when you start to

224
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: see some different nations stand out. So take Granada for example.

225
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: This is a small Caribbean nation of only about one

226
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five thousand people, in total, they performed

227
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: exceptionally well in several metrics. They won one point five

228
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: to eighty five medals for every one hundred thousand people

229
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: in the country. That was the highest of any country

230
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: in the world.

231
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 2: Wow.

232
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: They also ranked high in medals per athlete they sent

233
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: to the Games and medals per billion dollars of GDP.

234
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: So basically, if you think about the size of the

235
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: economy in relation to the number of medals they won,

236
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 1: Granada really overperformed. Special mention also to Saint Lucia, they

237
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: won point five of a medal for every athlete after

238
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: their sprint. Chat Bin Julian Alfred took gold in the

239
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: hundred and silver in the two hundred. Of course, the

240
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: day that she won gold is now called Juju Day

241
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: in that tiny nation.

242
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I didn't know what a moment. So

243
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 2: a lot of looking back and reflecting, I'm sure, over

244
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 2: the next few days, but we will also begin to

245
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: look ahead to LA twenty twenty eight. If you didn't

246
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 2: know that the next Games were going to be hosted

247
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 2: in La, how you do, you have to have been

248
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 2: living under a rock. There's been a really calculated pr effort.

249
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 2: I think throughout the game, certainly with the presence of

250
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 2: someone like Snoop Dog popping up a lot, but even

251
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 2: you know Tom Cruise and his big stunt in the

252
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 2: closing ceremony. After LA, of course, we have a home

253
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 2: Olympics here in Brisbane twenty thirty two. But before that,

254
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 2: LA and those games are going to be a bit different,

255
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 2: aren't they.

256
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's funny you're bringing up your second week

257
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: blues because you're going to have to flip that. And

258
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 1: the reason why is that the twenty twenty eight LA

259
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: Olympics will be the first Olympia since nineteen sixty eight

260
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: to change the order of swimming and athletics competitions.

261
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 2: So athletics, oh idea.

262
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, so athletics is going to be week one and

263
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: swimming is going to be week two. And the reason

264
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: why that adjustment has been made to the program is

265
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: because they want the opening ceremony to be held at

266
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: the news Sofi Stadium and that will also host the

267
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: swimming and they need time to transition it from being

268
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: a ceremony stadium to a swimming stadium. And whilst there

269
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: is that delay, the swimming will definitely be worth waiting

270
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: for because that stadium has a capacity of thirty eight

271
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: thousand people, which will be the largest live audience for

272
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: swimming in Olympic history.

273
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 2: I'm actually excited for the athletes here because I always

274
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 2: feel bad for the swimmers. They never get to participate

275
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 2: in the opening ceremony because it's like, you know, game face.

276
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 2: They've got to get prepped, they've got to jump in

277
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 2: the pool hours later. So I'm really happy for them

278
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 2: that they'll get to enjoy it. I'm also excited as

279
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 2: a spectator to see how La you know, we're talking

280
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 2: about Hollywood here, how they it's going to be a show,

281
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 2: an opening ceremony. You know, we had Billie Eilish the

282
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 2: Red Hot Chili Peppers at the closing ceremony in Paris.

283
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 2: I am ready for La Tinseltown to pull out all

284
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 2: stops for that opening ceremony. Then, of course we have

285
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 2: Brisbane twenty thirty two. Usually we know kind of pretty

286
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 2: far in advance the next few games. So do we

287
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 2: have an idea of who's hosting twenty thirty six.

288
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: It's crazy to be even talking about twenty thirty six,

289
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: but yeah, there are countries that have already thrown firm

290
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: bids out there and are kind of jostling on the

291
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: sidelines of even the Paris Games to get cozy with

292
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: the IOC officials put their case in front of the

293
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: decision makers. So you had a strong bid come through

294
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: from Nusentara, which is the new capital of Indonesia. Remember

295
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: they moved to the capital of Indonesia from Japada, so

296
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: they've put their new capital forward for the Games. Istanbul

297
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: in Turkey have also thrown their hand up, are yet

298
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: to be determined city in India, another yet to be

299
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: determined city in Egypt, and Santiago, the capital of Chile.

300
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: Those are the countries that have kind of said we're

301
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: up for it. There are some countries who put forward

302
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: a bid but have since pulled it back and said

303
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: perhaps they want to go for the twenty forty Games

304
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: or something in the twenty forties, fifties or sixties. That's

305
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: how far they're thinking. So those are cities like Mexico City,

306
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: Berlin and Madrid.

307
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 2: Wow. Well, wherever it ends up being, we will keep
