Speaker 2: I'm good.

14
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: We have just gone to see the screening of Girls

15
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: Can't Surf? What did you think?

16
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 3: I there was a whole lot of emotion. I kind

17
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 3: of went on a bit of emotional rollercoaster, to be honest.

18
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 3: I kind of went from laughing to crying. It's full

19
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 3: of emotion, but it's incredible and it gives you a

20
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 3: lot of context of the surf industry and a lot

21
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 3: that I didn't know.

22
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: How far it's come. And to think that, you know,

23
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: it was going.

24
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 3: For five decades before they achieve achieved gender pay equality

25
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 3: is mind boggling, But at the same time, to think

26
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 3: that there's so many sports that don't have pay equality

27
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 3: is even more ridiculous. So, yeah, a huge shout out

28
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 3: to all the women in that film and the others

29
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 3: up obviously were part of the industry, but weren't included

30
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 3: in that film. But yeah, they did a lot for

31
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 3: the sport and it was really incredible to watch.

32
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I loved saying about it. There was

33
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: a point in the doco where they actually refused to

34
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: go out and compete because a lot of the time

35
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: the women were told that they had to surf on

36
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: the when the surf was horrible, they had to go

37
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: out and surf, And there was a moment where they

38
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: actually sat on the beach and refused to go out.

39
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: And I think moments like that took a huge amount

40
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: of courage from these women like Pam Burrage and Pauline

41
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: men So, who we got to chat to last week

42
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: on The Wrap. That now has allowed the incredible athletes

43
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: like Steph gil More, Tyler Wright, Sally Fits, all these

44
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: incredible female services who are now top ten in the

45
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: world easily yet to achieve what they do get paid

46
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: equally to the men's have sponsorship deals and have all

47
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: of these things yeah, that they can now achieve, which

48
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 1: is really cool.

49
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and also to see I guess the impact that

50
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 3: Australian women had in the industry over that time. There's

51
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 3: so many Australians in it. It maybe just so proud

52
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 3: to be an Australian and to watch those women.

53
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely have to have to recommend it for people

54
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: to go and watch it, whether you're a guy or

55
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: a girl. I think it was an incredible one to watch.

56
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: Coming up on today's episode will be joined by Laura

57
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: peel So she's the first ever Australian to win two

58
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: aerial Skiing World Championships. But before that, let's take a

59
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: look around the grounds.

60
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 3: A huge day on Saturday at the Sydney Track Classic. Firstly,

61
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 3: Nina Kennedy set a new national record in the pole vault,

62
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 3: clearing a jump of four point eight two meters is huge.

63
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 3: This is also a qualifying jump for the Tokyo Game,

64
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 3: which is incredible.

65
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,519

00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 3: like what we were talking about last week, that.

74
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: Is very quick.

75
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: When I had Jessica Hull on the podcast, she taught

76
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: me how to do the lingo. We might have to

77
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: get her to come back on the on the time

78
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: reading out because I couldnot do that a fifteen twenty

79
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: five eighty four. Do you just say all the numbers?

80
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe jess we need your help. I butchered that one.

81
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: Australia's best diskers thrower, Danny Stevens made her comeback after

82
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,839
Speaker 1: a neck injury. So it's her second comp in two

Speaker 1: to throw over sixty meters and she threw a sixty

85
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: three point three six meters. We've got all the numbers

86
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: in here today. Congrats Danny. Really good to see you

87
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: back in action.

88
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,080

00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 3: twelve point eighty eight seconds.

91
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: So hats off to Liz Clay. She's just killing it

92
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 2: the season.

93
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: Killing it. In basketball news, Australian Liz Cambidge has resigned

94
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: with the Las Vegas Aces in the WNBA.

95
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 3: Yeah so, the twenty nine year old received a medical

96
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 3: exemption last year and set out the twenty twenty campaign instead.

97
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 3: Actually won a WNBL championship with the South Side Flyers

98
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 3: back here in Australia, which is really great.

99
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: So she's had a pretty incredible career so far in

100
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: the WNBA. She still holds the record that she broke

101
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen when she was playing with the Dallas

102
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: Wings the most points scored in one game with fifty

103
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: three points. So she is just a boss lady getting

104
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: it done over there. So can you see what she

105
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,239
Speaker 1: continues to do back with the Aces in the WNBA.

106
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 3: So clo Australian basketball legend and I know you're a

107
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 3: big fan of hers. Lauren Jackson has just been named

108
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 3: as one of four finalists the twenty twenty one Nasmith

109
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,799
Speaker 3: Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

110
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, Lauren's already in the basketball Australia, Sport Australia

111
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: and the US Women's Basketball Hall of Fame. Looking at

112
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. So it's located

113
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: obviously over in the US in Springfield, Massachusetts, and it's

114
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: a pretty historic location. It's an independent organization that's all

115
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: about promoting, preserving and celebrating the game of basketball. And

116
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: I think there's more than four hundred inductees and over

117
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: forty thousand square feet of basketball history, and that's considered

118
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: the home of basketball, So a pretty big honor, and

119
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: being nominated into that Hall of Fame is considered the

120
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: greatest honor in US basketball. So good luck to Lauren.

121
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, the entire class of twenty twenty one for the

122
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 3: Nasmith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame will be unveiled on

123
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 3: May sixteenth this year.

124
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: How excited.

125
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 3: World Rugby has just confirmed this year that the Women's

126
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 3: Rugby World Cup in New Zealand has been officially postponed

127
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 3: to twenty twenty two.

128
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, this one was some pretty disappointing news to hear.

129
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: I know there was a lot of girls who I've

130
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: had the chance to play with who are really looking

131
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: forward to representing Australia for the Wallaroos at the World

132
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: Cup in New Zealand and looking at the way that

133
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: New Zealand's handled COVID, they've obviously done such a good job,

134
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: but there are a few barriers in place to getting

135
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: countries from all around the world to come and play

136
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: against each other. It's a tricky one when you look

137
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: at fifteen A side rugby for women, a lot of

138
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: the girls don't get to have the opportunity to be

139
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: professional athletes. I know for US as sevens we get

140
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: to be full time. So they've still allowed some of

141
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: the sevens tournaments to go ahead this year, but there

142
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: are a lot of logistical issues with getting all of

143
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: the teams together and getting girls to take time off work.

144
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: So really disappointing for those girls. But hoping that that

145
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: extra time that they now have to prepare for twenty

146
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: twenty two means that they can have a good crack

147
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: at taking out the title.

148
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely.

149
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: So looking at the National Touch League the NTLS for

150
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: the locals, the South Queens and Sharks went up against

151
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: the Sydney Scorpions in the open women's finals.

152
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, so the scores were actually time for all coming

153
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 3: into the last few minutes of the game, but hinatl

154
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 3: Angi Andrea Son found Danny Davis and threw the ball

155
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 3: to her and she was able to score that winning

156
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 3: try in the final two minutes of the game, which

157
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 3: is great.

158
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: And finally in the AFLW big Upset, Brisbane have beaten

159
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: the previously undefeated Collingwood by four points, so they've really

160
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: announced themselves as serious premiership contenders. As if a few

161
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: teams at the top there it's getting heated. Let's take

162
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: a look at the key story.

163
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 2: In the W League.

164
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 3: Michelle Hayman headed a goal home in the fifty fourth

165
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 3: minute to write her name in W League's history books,

166
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 3: overtaking Sam Kerr as the outright all time leading scorer

167
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 3: with seventy one goal So.

168
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: Not only did she take the record, the scores were

169
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: tied again at to a piece in the final minute

170
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: of the game and Hayman slid the ball pass a

171
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: Perth Glory goalkeeper to seal a three two win for

172
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: Camber United. So she's extended her record to seventy two goals.

173
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: So congrats to Michelle. That's an incredible achievement. Now for

174
00:07:58,400 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: the presser.

175
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 3: Big week for one of Australia's top winter athletes, Laura Appeal.

176
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 3: Last Wednesday, Laura competed in the Freestyle Aerial Skiing World

177
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 3: Championships over in Kazakhstan and took out the win for

178
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 3: the second time in her career with a huge one

179
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 3: hundred and six point four to six points bhills.

180
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: Can you give us a bit of background for those

181
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: who don't know a lot about aerial skiing and those

182
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: who haven't watched Lydia Lasla's amazing documentary Going to Fly.

183
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 3: So freestyle aerial skiing is wild and if you haven't

184
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 3: ever watched this sport, I would highly recommend looking up

185
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 3: videos just to see how crazy this sport is. But

186
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 3: started as a combination of alpine skiing and acrobat x

187
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 3: and it involves jumping off a kicker which is essentially

188
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 3: a snow ramp, and performing a number of flips and

189
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 3: twists before landing back on the ski slope. The context,

190
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 3: aerial skiers can travel up to seventy kilometers per hour

191
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 3: down the ramp, which repels them approximately seventeen meters into

192
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 3: the air, and they still manage to land on their

193
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 3: feet two skis on a steep ski slope blows my mind.

194
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: I just don't get it. That's amazing. Australia does have

195
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: a pretty incredible history of women who've paved the way

196
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: in this sport. So if we look at the surfing

197
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: docker that we just watched some incredible women, But in

198
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: the aerial scheme, women like Jackie Cooper, Alyssa Kamperlon and

199
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: Lydia Lassala made massive runs in that sport and had

200
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: incredibly successful careers. Laura is one of only a few

201
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: females who are currently competing with triple summersaults. We actually

202
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: managed to have a chat to the world champ after

203
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: her win. Laura, firstly, congratulations on becoming the first ever

204
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: Australian two time Ariels World champion. You completed one of

205
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: the most difficult jumps ever performed by a female competitor,

206
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: a full, a triple twisting triple back summersault to take

207
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: the win. Can you tell us what all those words

208
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: mean and what it felt like when you landed that jump.

209
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 4: Well, thanks so much for having me and thank you

210
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 4: it was an absolutely incredible day yesterday the win. As

211
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 4: you said, I competed a back, so it's a triple

212
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 4: somersault with a full twist in each whip. Wow, that

213
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 4: was only the second time I competed that jump, and

214
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 4: it's a new trick for me this season. So I've

215
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 4: really been working on pushing my difficulty and I think

216
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 4: yesterday in the final was probably the best that I've

217
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 4: ever done that jump, though. I'm just so doped, and

218
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 4: there's been some absolutely incredible aerial skiers who have come

219
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 4: before me and paved the way, so to be up

220
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 4: there with those names is pretty special.

221
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: It's so incredible. How much courage does it take to

222
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: do a jump of that difficulty in a final, knowing

223
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: how much pressure there is to land that jump.

224
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean there's definitely some fear involved, and then

225
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 4: you add the pressure of the competition. But we had

226
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 4: the plan to do that jump a long time ago.

227
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 4: It's what we've been working towards. So I don't think

228
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 4: I would have been satisfied if we finished the day

229
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 4: and I hadn't competed that jump, So yeah, I just

230
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 4: wanted to lay it all out and yeah, I mean

231
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 4: obviously in the end it.

232
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: Went well, yeah, very well.

233
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: How do you prepare when things on the day might

234
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: be completely out of your control, like the weather, the wind,

235
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: or how the other competitors have performed so far.

236
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean the weather is a huge part

237
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 4: of our sport. Obviously, it's an outdoor sport. In any

238
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 4: sort of wind or snow or here in Kazakh Sci

239
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 4: it's actually been quite warm, so we've got some pipes

240
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 4: in the jump that we feel with dry ice to

241
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 4: keep the jumps nice and hard so that we can

242
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 4: actually get off them. Well, So the weather's constantly changing

243
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 4: and we always have to adapt to that, and I

244
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 4: think that's probably one of the biggest talent in the

245
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 4: sports in terms of other athletes. I really just try

246
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 4: to day my bubble and camp day and I know

247
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 4: what my plan is going in. I just try to

248
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 4: execute my jumps as best. Thank you.

249
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: You're currently chatting with us from a gondola as you

250
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: head up to watch some other people compete. Can you

251
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: tell us once you've finished over there, what the rest

252
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: of this year looks like with the Winter Olympics less

253
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: than a year away now, Yeah.

254
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 4: It's definitely creeping up. Seems to come around quickly. I've

255
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 4: been away from Australia now for almost nine months, so

256
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 4: I have one final World Cup event on Saturday and

257
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 4: then after that I'll be heading back home, so I'm

258
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 4: really excited to be back on home soil and enjoy

259
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 4: some downtime and start to get in shape for next year.

260
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 4: Training hard on the water rounds so we actually practice

261
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 4: out jumps into a big swimming pool before taking them

262
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 4: to snow and then I'll probably head back over.

263
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: To Europe to kid me very exciting. Thank you so

264
