1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Already and this is this is the daily This is

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: the Daily. Ohs oh, now it makes sense. Good morning

3
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 1: and welcome to the Daily OS. It's Friday, the twenty

4
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: sixth of July. I'm Sam, I'm Zara. It is the

5
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: final countdown. The twenty twenty four Paris Olympics opening ceremony

6
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: is this weekend. In today's podcast, I'm going to guide

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: you through a traditional pre exam cram session. What you

8
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: need to know to get up to speed right now

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 1: so that you deliver a gold medal performance in what

10
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: I think is the most hotly contested sport of watching

11
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: as much Olympics as you possibly can before we get there, though.

12
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: Here's what's making headlines.

13
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 2: Two helicopter pilots have died after a mid air collision

14
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: in WA's Kimberly region. WA Police said two helicopters, which

15
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 2: were being used to herd cattle, crash shortly after taking off,

16
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 2: claiming the lives of a twenty nine and a thirty

17
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 2: year old man. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau is now investigating.

18
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: The incident comes after an Italian military aircraft crashed in

19
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 2: a remote part of the NT yesterday after participating in

20
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 2: an international defense drill. The pilot ejected himself from the

21
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: plane while flying and was treated for injuries in a

22
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: Darwin hospital.

23
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 1: Two federal senior cabinet ministers have announced their stepping down.

24
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: Indigenous Australians Minister Linda Burney and Skills Minister Brendan O'Connor

25
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: will both leave their portfolios immediately and have announced they

26
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: won't contest the next election. They're the first two people

27
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: to quit Prime Minister Anthony Alberanze's cabinet since Labor won

28
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: the election back in twenty twenty two. The move has

29
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: triggered a reshuffle on the front bench, which will be

30
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: unveiled on Sunday.

31
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has delivered an address to

32
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: the US Congress where he said America and Israel must

33
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 2: stand together. Yahu said he was confident that hostages taken

34
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: by Humas on the seventh of October can be returned.

35
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: The presumptive Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and current President Joe

36
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: Biden did not attend the address. Netaniahu's address triggered mass

37
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 2: protests both inside and outside the Capitol, with protesters calling

38
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 2: for an end to the war in Gaza.

39
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: And today's good news. A breakthrough test for the deadly

40
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: infection sepsis could speed up diagnoses and possibly save lives.

41
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: Sepsis can be a life threatening condition where the human

42
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: body's infection fighting processes backfire, turning on the vital organs

43
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: instead of the viruses one sepsis has set in. It

44
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: can lead to a person's death within twelve hours, but

45
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: researchers from Soul's National University in South Korea have found

46
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: a new method to diagnose sepsis within thirteen hours, cutting

47
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: down the detection window by a potentially life saving amount

48
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: of time.

49
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: I'm almost more excited for the Olympics to begin, not

50
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 2: for the sport itself, but because you've been speaking about

51
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 2: this every single day for nearly a year, and I'm

52
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 2: excited for you.

53
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: I can hardly stay still in my chair that excited.

54
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: I would say that this is my Olympics, but it is.

55
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: This is my Olympics.

56
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 2: Excellent starting off with the Dad Joe. For people that

57
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 2: perhaps aren't as excited as you are, are more getting

58
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 2: across the excitement day by day. Let's start with the basics.

59
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: How can anyone that's listening actually follow the Olympics from Australia.

60
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: So if you're a casual fan and you just want

61
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: to have a touch point with the Olympics once a

62
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: day where you can understand what's big, what's happening, what

63
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: time you need to turn on the TV, who's winning medals.

64
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: This is not me being biased, but I would sign

65
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: up to the TDA Sport newsletter. We're going to be

66
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: doing a special Olympics edition every day with.

67
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 2: Every single day.

68
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, with all of those key details, it's going to

69
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: take a couple of minutes to read. We're also going

70
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: to be doing two special afternoon editions of this podcast

71
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: each week of the games to make sure that our

72
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: podcast listeners are up to speed as well. But for

73
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: those with a bit more time and investment, perhaps passion

74
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: for the Olympics, you're going to spend a lot of

75
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: time on Channel nine. They've got the official broadcast rights

76
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: of the game. They paid three hundred and five million

77
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: dollars for the rights to Paris and then the next

78
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: two Summer Olympics and two Winter Olympics, so that takes

79
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: us to Brisbane and the Paralympics two in a separate deal.

80
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: So nine are going to broadcast the games on freeware

81
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: TV and the coverage is going to be on their

82
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: main channel and on nine GEM. And what that means

83
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: is that if you don't have pay television or digital television.

84
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 2: Which we have spoken about before on as point we.

85
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: Have covered that, then your TV aerial will serve you

86
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: just fine. But we also know that there's an increasing

87
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: portion of Australians, particularly young Australians, who don't have a

88
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: TV plugged into a TV aerial. Some don't even have

89
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: traditional TVs, and that's where nine Now and STAN are

90
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: going to come in for all of the digital streaming.

91
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 2: I'm really good at watching TV. I'm less good at

92
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: staying up late, which I don't think will serve me

93
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 2: well for these games. What are the times we're talking

94
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 2: about with some of these Olympic.

95
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: Events, Well, this is key primetime viewing, and by primetime

96
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: I mean probably the worst possible time for Australians to

97
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: wake up. So the opening ceremony, for example, that's kicking

98
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: off tonight, and by tonight I mean four am Saturday morning.

99
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: That is known in the sporting community as the single

100
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: worst time to start an event because there's not like

101
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: a two am where then you can go to sleep

102
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: after it's not the six.

103
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 2: Am you're awaken tied for the rest of the day.

104
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: It's pretty crap, but it's the Olympics and if they

105
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: can set new world records and everything, then we can

106
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: get up and have a bit less sleep.

107
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: And so for those who are braving the four am

108
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 2: wake up tomorrow morning for the opening ceremony, what can

109
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: they expect from that?

110
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: So you and Mr spoke this week about some of

111
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: the more serious aspects, the security and the logistics. I'll

112
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: focus on perhaps the fun stuff fun.

113
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sam drops in once a week to deliver the

114
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 2: daily fun Disney Dad.

115
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: Instead of being held in a stadium, this ceremony is

116
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: going to be taking place on the River Send and

117
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: that's significant for two reasons. It's going to be the

118
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: biggest live audience ever for an opening ceremony of an Olympics.

119
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: They're expecting a few hundred thousand people to line the

120
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: banks of the river, and obviously you can't do that

121
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: in the stadium because it doesn't have the capacity to

122
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: do that. It's also the first time though the majority

123
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: of spectators are going to be there for free, and

124
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: they're going to see quite a spectacle. They're going to

125
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: see a massive convoy of boats carrying athletes and performers

126
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: down the river, and it's the six kilometer stretch that

127
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: actually goes past landmarks like the Affel Tower, the Louver

128
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: and Notre Dame Cathedral.

129
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 2: I have vivid memories of the Spy Skills performing at

130
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,119
Speaker 2: the London opening ceremony. I don't know that we're getting

131
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 2: the Spy Skills again, but who knows. What are we

132
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 2: expecting from the opening ceremony performance.

133
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: One of the really cool parts of the Olympics is

134
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: that we typically only find out who's the headline performer

135
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: of the opening ceremony when they pop up, normally in

136
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: the middle of the stadium. In this case, they're going

137
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: to pop up on the boat. And there's always this

138
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 1: crazy rumor game. So the lead rumors for who's going

139
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: to perform is Celendion and Lady Gaga. They've both been

140
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: spotted in Paris in the last few days.

141
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: I just watched Celendion's documentary.

142
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: Maybe she's doing a bit of a press tour, yeah, maybe. Then.

143
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: We've also heard rumors about Aya Nakamura. She's the most

144
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: streamed French singer in the world. Then there's some wild

145
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: rumors about Taylor Swift, who has a mysterious gap in

146
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: the Eras tour that fits just perfectly around an appearance

147
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: at the opening ceremony. Nothing's going to quite hit Nicky

148
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: Webster and Vanessa Amirosi. But I think this kind of

149
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: combination I might tip Celendi on they'll go okay, okay.

150
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 2: So we're expecting a spectacle from that opening ceremony. But

151
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 2: that is just the tip of the iceberg. That's just

152
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 2: the first day. I want to move on to the

153
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: actual games itself and Australia's metal hopes. There are we

154
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 2: expecting to do well as a country at this Olympic Games.

155
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: Well, there's some really high hopes on the Australian team

156
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: and that's kind of being driven by the Australian Olympic

157
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: Committee it's self, the organization that represents the athletes gets

158
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: them ready for the Games. I did a podcast about

159
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: how much money is being sunk into winning gold. I'll

160
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: put it in the show notes. But the pressure is on.

161
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: So in Tokyo we finished sixth on the medal table.

162
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: We won seventeen golds. The pressure is on us to

163
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: go better this year. Our best games in terms of

164
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: the number of gold medals was Athens in two thousand

165
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: and four. That's where we won seventeen golds and sixteen silvers,

166
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: and that just pips Tokyo, where it was seventeen and

167
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: seven silvers.

168
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 2: I presume a large portion of those golds come from swimming,

169
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 2: which were as a country are very good at doing. Right.

170
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: It's almost the national sport at the moment. You know,

171
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: there is such a presence of how good Australia is

172
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 1: in international media. I was listening to a Washington Post

173
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: Olympics preview this week and they'd spend more time talking

174
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: about the Australian swimmers than they did about the American swimmers.

175
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: So the whole world's watching a lot of the kind

176
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: of predictions of how we're going to go. Says that

177
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: the swimmers will account for sixty to seventy percent of

178
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: our medals. We've got around Tiitmas trying to defend her

179
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: two hundred and four hundred style titles. Kaylee McEwen is

180
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: a force to be reckoned with in backstroke, but I'm

181
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: also excited about some of the young talent like Molly

182
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: O'Callahan and Sam short.

183
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 2: One of my problems in watching the Olympics is that

184
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: I deeply care about the swimming, and that once the

185
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 2: swimming is over, I feel a bit lost.

186
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: Oh yes, the second half tumble.

187
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 2: We call it what happens after the swimming. Where do

188
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 2: we get our gold medals from after that?

189
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: Oh? Mate, it's just beginning. So we've got the women's

190
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: soccer team, the Matilda's, you might be familiar with them.

191
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: They're going to be looking to build on their success

192
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 1: from last year's World Cup. They could get gold if

193
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: things go well. The men's rugby sevens team is targeting gold.

194
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: Jessica Fox is an amazing canoeist. She's targeting.

195
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 2: She's our flag bear.

196
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: She's our flag bearer tomorrow morning. She's targeting two gold

197
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: medals in her events. And then I'm just going to

198
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: go through the other medal hopes super quick because there

199
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: are so many. We've got Grace Brown looking good in

200
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: road cycling, Logan Martin in the BMX, he will defend

201
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: his gold medal he won in Tokyo. And in the athletics.

202
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 1: Keep an eye on Nina Kennedy in the pole vault

203
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: and nikola Oli Sanger's in the high jump. She wants

204
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: silver in Tokyo. Then we've got the Kokabaras, the Australian

205
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: men's hockey team and the Australian women's rugby sevens. They're

206
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: both hot favorites in their competitions. And I have not

207
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: even mentioned basketball, skateboarders, sailors, rowers, Alex Demonor and the

208
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: tennis surfers, golfers, boxes shooter as water power weightlifter is

209
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: a questra in triathlon, diving and beach volleyball. And I

210
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: guarantee you in that list there'll be some surprises.

211
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 2: Okay, I think I get the picture. There's a lot,

212
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 2: and you're not breathing.

213
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: I'll speak to you in three weeks.

214
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 2: But lots of excellent chances that Australia is up for

215
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 2: any number of medals and lots of excitement there. One

216
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 2: of the things I'm really looking forward to is breaking,

217
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 2: which I have learned is not break dancing. It's breaking.

218
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: Yes, the cool kids are calling it breaking. This is

219
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: a new sport at the Olympics. It's going to be

220
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: awesome to watch. So the competitors are known as bee

221
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: boys and be girls and they'll face off in these

222
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: one on one dance battles and they'll showcase their best moves.

223
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: It kind of feels like a gymnastics floor routine in

224
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: some ways, like the same level of athleticism and power

225
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: is on display to really cool music, amazing costumes. I'm

226
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: super excited to watch that. It's not the only thing

227
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: that's changing, though. We've got sport climbing, and that debuted

228
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: in Tokyo, but that's now got two separate events, a

229
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: combined category of bouldering, which I know is very popular

230
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: as a pastime here in Australia and lead and there's

231
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: also a speed climbing where you just have to get

232
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: to the top as quick as you can. Then there's

233
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: also kiteboarding and sailing and a new variation in canoeing

234
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: called kayak cross.

235
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 2: It's always interesting to understand this modernization and trying to

236
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 2: keep up with new sports as they arise and certainly

237
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: as they are considered Olympic events. But what I did

238
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: find interesting is that breaking won't be included in the

239
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 2: next Games in LA so they've introduced it in time

240
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 2: for this but then not again at the next Games.

241
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: The selection of sports by the International Olympic Committee can

242
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: be really political, and they're often thinking for eight twelve

243
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: years ahead, and sometimes what they'll do is introduce a

244
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 1: sport and say it's a one year activity that doesn't

245
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: necessarily all it out for the next one where they

246
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: can do a bit of back by popular demand. It

247
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: kind of gives it room to be dropped off if

248
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: it's not a success.

249
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 2: I now feel successfully caught up on everything I need

250
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 2: to know ahead of the Olympics beginning. Thank you, Sam.

251
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,440
