WEBVTT - Your cheat sheet to the Paris Olympics

0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Already and this is this is the daily This is

0:00:03.720 --> 0:00:15.240
<v Speaker 1>the Daily. Ohs oh, now it makes sense. Good morning

0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:17.600
<v Speaker 1>and welcome to the Daily OS. It's Friday, the twenty

0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:21.120
<v Speaker 1>sixth of July. I'm Sam, I'm Zara. It is the

0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:25.560
<v Speaker 1>final countdown. The twenty twenty four Paris Olympics opening ceremony

0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:29.000
<v Speaker 1>is this weekend. In today's podcast, I'm going to guide

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:33.040
<v Speaker 1>you through a traditional pre exam cram session. What you

0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:35.120
<v Speaker 1>need to know to get up to speed right now

0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:37.879
<v Speaker 1>so that you deliver a gold medal performance in what

0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:41.159
<v Speaker 1>I think is the most hotly contested sport of watching

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:44.880
<v Speaker 1>as much Olympics as you possibly can before we get there, though.

0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:46.199
<v Speaker 1>Here's what's making headlines.

0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:52.919
<v Speaker 2>Two helicopter pilots have died after a mid air collision

0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:57.360
<v Speaker 2>in WA's Kimberly region. WA Police said two helicopters, which

0:00:57.360 --> 0:01:01.000
<v Speaker 2>were being used to herd cattle, crash shortly after taking off,

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:03.200
<v Speaker 2>claiming the lives of a twenty nine and a thirty

0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:07.320
<v Speaker 2>year old man. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau is now investigating.

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 2>The incident comes after an Italian military aircraft crashed in

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:14.840
<v Speaker 2>a remote part of the NT yesterday after participating in

0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:18.399
<v Speaker 2>an international defense drill. The pilot ejected himself from the

0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:20.880
<v Speaker 2>plane while flying and was treated for injuries in a

0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:21.800
<v Speaker 2>Darwin hospital.

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:27.839
<v Speaker 1>Two federal senior cabinet ministers have announced their stepping down.

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Indigenous Australians Minister Linda Burney and Skills Minister Brendan O'Connor

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:36.000
<v Speaker 1>will both leave their portfolios immediately and have announced they

0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:39.200
<v Speaker 1>won't contest the next election. They're the first two people

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.240
<v Speaker 1>to quit Prime Minister Anthony Alberanze's cabinet since Labor won

0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 1>the election back in twenty twenty two. The move has

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:47.440
<v Speaker 1>triggered a reshuffle on the front bench, which will be

0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:48.760
<v Speaker 1>unveiled on Sunday.

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 2>Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has delivered an address to

0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:58.400
<v Speaker 2>the US Congress where he said America and Israel must

0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 2>stand together. Yahu said he was confident that hostages taken

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 2>by Humas on the seventh of October can be returned.

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:10.000
<v Speaker 2>The presumptive Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and current President Joe

0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 2>Biden did not attend the address. Netaniahu's address triggered mass

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:19.000
<v Speaker 2>protests both inside and outside the Capitol, with protesters calling

0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:21.079
<v Speaker 2>for an end to the war in Gaza.

0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:26.360
<v Speaker 1>And today's good news. A breakthrough test for the deadly

0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:30.520
<v Speaker 1>infection sepsis could speed up diagnoses and possibly save lives.

0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Sepsis can be a life threatening condition where the human

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 1>body's infection fighting processes backfire, turning on the vital organs

0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:41.200
<v Speaker 1>instead of the viruses one sepsis has set in. It

0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:44.240
<v Speaker 1>can lead to a person's death within twelve hours, but

0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:48.600
<v Speaker 1>researchers from Soul's National University in South Korea have found

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 1>a new method to diagnose sepsis within thirteen hours, cutting

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 1>down the detection window by a potentially life saving amount

0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:56.080
<v Speaker 1>of time.

0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm almost more excited for the Olympics to begin, not

0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:05.800
<v Speaker 2>for the sport itself, but because you've been speaking about

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:08.799
<v Speaker 2>this every single day for nearly a year, and I'm

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:09.639
<v Speaker 2>excited for you.

0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:14.080
<v Speaker 1>I can hardly stay still in my chair that excited.

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I would say that this is my Olympics, but it is.

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:18.160
<v Speaker 1>This is my Olympics.

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Excellent starting off with the Dad Joe. For people that

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 2>perhaps aren't as excited as you are, are more getting

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:28.240
<v Speaker 2>across the excitement day by day. Let's start with the basics.

0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:32.480
<v Speaker 2>How can anyone that's listening actually follow the Olympics from Australia.

0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:34.200
<v Speaker 1>So if you're a casual fan and you just want

0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:36.240
<v Speaker 1>to have a touch point with the Olympics once a

0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:39.040
<v Speaker 1>day where you can understand what's big, what's happening, what

0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 1>time you need to turn on the TV, who's winning medals.

0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:43.160
<v Speaker 1>This is not me being biased, but I would sign

0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:45.600
<v Speaker 1>up to the TDA Sport newsletter. We're going to be

0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:48.280
<v Speaker 1>doing a special Olympics edition every day with.

0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Every single day.

0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, with all of those key details, it's going to

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 1>take a couple of minutes to read. We're also going

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 1>to be doing two special afternoon editions of this podcast

0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:00.200
<v Speaker 1>each week of the games to make sure that our

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:03.120
<v Speaker 1>podcast listeners are up to speed as well. But for

0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 1>those with a bit more time and investment, perhaps passion

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:09.000
<v Speaker 1>for the Olympics, you're going to spend a lot of

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:12.400
<v Speaker 1>time on Channel nine. They've got the official broadcast rights

0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.000
<v Speaker 1>of the game. They paid three hundred and five million

0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.600
<v Speaker 1>dollars for the rights to Paris and then the next

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:20.560
<v Speaker 1>two Summer Olympics and two Winter Olympics, so that takes

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:24.040
<v Speaker 1>us to Brisbane and the Paralympics two in a separate deal.

0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:26.600
<v Speaker 1>So nine are going to broadcast the games on freeware

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:28.760
<v Speaker 1>TV and the coverage is going to be on their

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:31.479
<v Speaker 1>main channel and on nine GEM. And what that means

0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:35.560
<v Speaker 1>is that if you don't have pay television or digital television.

0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:37.280
<v Speaker 2>Which we have spoken about before on as point we.

0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Have covered that, then your TV aerial will serve you

0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 1>just fine. But we also know that there's an increasing

0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:46.400
<v Speaker 1>portion of Australians, particularly young Australians, who don't have a

0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 1>TV plugged into a TV aerial. Some don't even have

0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:53.120
<v Speaker 1>traditional TVs, and that's where nine Now and STAN are

0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:55.400
<v Speaker 1>going to come in for all of the digital streaming.

0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:58.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm really good at watching TV. I'm less good at

0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 2>staying up late, which I don't think will serve me

0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.400
<v Speaker 2>well for these games. What are the times we're talking

0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:05.839
<v Speaker 2>about with some of these Olympic.

0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Events, Well, this is key primetime viewing, and by primetime

0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean probably the worst possible time for Australians to

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:16.080
<v Speaker 1>wake up. So the opening ceremony, for example, that's kicking

0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:20.200
<v Speaker 1>off tonight, and by tonight I mean four am Saturday morning.

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.080
<v Speaker 1>That is known in the sporting community as the single

0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:25.400
<v Speaker 1>worst time to start an event because there's not like

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:26.960
<v Speaker 1>a two am where then you can go to sleep

0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:28.279
<v Speaker 1>after it's not the six.

0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:30.360
<v Speaker 2>Am you're awaken tied for the rest of the day.

0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:33.560
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty crap, but it's the Olympics and if they

0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:35.840
<v Speaker 1>can set new world records and everything, then we can

0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:37.719
<v Speaker 1>get up and have a bit less sleep.

0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:40.120
<v Speaker 2>And so for those who are braving the four am

0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.800
<v Speaker 2>wake up tomorrow morning for the opening ceremony, what can

0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 2>they expect from that?

0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:47.000
<v Speaker 1>So you and Mr spoke this week about some of

0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:49.800
<v Speaker 1>the more serious aspects, the security and the logistics. I'll

0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:51.920
<v Speaker 1>focus on perhaps the fun stuff fun.

0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Sam drops in once a week to deliver the

0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:55.719
<v Speaker 2>daily fun Disney Dad.

0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Instead of being held in a stadium, this ceremony is

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.200
<v Speaker 1>going to be taking place on the River Send and

0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:04.280
<v Speaker 1>that's significant for two reasons. It's going to be the

0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:07.720
<v Speaker 1>biggest live audience ever for an opening ceremony of an Olympics.

0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:10.719
<v Speaker 1>They're expecting a few hundred thousand people to line the

0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.040
<v Speaker 1>banks of the river, and obviously you can't do that

0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.359
<v Speaker 1>in the stadium because it doesn't have the capacity to

0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.160
<v Speaker 1>do that. It's also the first time though the majority

0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:20.600
<v Speaker 1>of spectators are going to be there for free, and

0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:22.719
<v Speaker 1>they're going to see quite a spectacle. They're going to

0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:26.760
<v Speaker 1>see a massive convoy of boats carrying athletes and performers

0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:30.080
<v Speaker 1>down the river, and it's the six kilometer stretch that

0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:33.719
<v Speaker 1>actually goes past landmarks like the Affel Tower, the Louver

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:35.520
<v Speaker 1>and Notre Dame Cathedral.

0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:39.600
<v Speaker 2>I have vivid memories of the Spy Skills performing at

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:43.119
<v Speaker 2>the London opening ceremony. I don't know that we're getting

0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:45.800
<v Speaker 2>the Spy Skills again, but who knows. What are we

0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:48.640
<v Speaker 2>expecting from the opening ceremony performance.

0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:50.880
<v Speaker 1>One of the really cool parts of the Olympics is

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 1>that we typically only find out who's the headline performer

0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.400
<v Speaker 1>of the opening ceremony when they pop up, normally in

0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:58.320
<v Speaker 1>the middle of the stadium. In this case, they're going

0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:00.240
<v Speaker 1>to pop up on the boat. And there's always this

0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.840
<v Speaker 1>crazy rumor game. So the lead rumors for who's going

0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:06.920
<v Speaker 1>to perform is Celendion and Lady Gaga. They've both been

0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 1>spotted in Paris in the last few days.

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.440
<v Speaker 2>I just watched Celendion's documentary.

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Maybe she's doing a bit of a press tour, yeah, maybe. Then.

0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:17.440
<v Speaker 1>We've also heard rumors about Aya Nakamura. She's the most

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.600
<v Speaker 1>streamed French singer in the world. Then there's some wild

0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:23.600
<v Speaker 1>rumors about Taylor Swift, who has a mysterious gap in

0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 1>the Eras tour that fits just perfectly around an appearance

0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:30.280
<v Speaker 1>at the opening ceremony. Nothing's going to quite hit Nicky

0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Webster and Vanessa Amirosi. But I think this kind of

0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:37.520
<v Speaker 1>combination I might tip Celendi on they'll go okay, okay.

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:41.480
<v Speaker 2>So we're expecting a spectacle from that opening ceremony. But

0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:44.280
<v Speaker 2>that is just the tip of the iceberg. That's just

0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:46.920
<v Speaker 2>the first day. I want to move on to the

0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:50.880
<v Speaker 2>actual games itself and Australia's metal hopes. There are we

0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:54.080
<v Speaker 2>expecting to do well as a country at this Olympic Games.

0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, there's some really high hopes on the Australian team

0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:59.360
<v Speaker 1>and that's kind of being driven by the Australian Olympic

0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Committee it's self, the organization that represents the athletes gets

0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:05.120
<v Speaker 1>them ready for the Games. I did a podcast about

0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:07.880
<v Speaker 1>how much money is being sunk into winning gold. I'll

0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:10.200
<v Speaker 1>put it in the show notes. But the pressure is on.

0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 1>So in Tokyo we finished sixth on the medal table.

0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 1>We won seventeen golds. The pressure is on us to

0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.720
<v Speaker 1>go better this year. Our best games in terms of

0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:21.960
<v Speaker 1>the number of gold medals was Athens in two thousand

0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:25.280
<v Speaker 1>and four. That's where we won seventeen golds and sixteen silvers,

0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:28.040
<v Speaker 1>and that just pips Tokyo, where it was seventeen and

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:28.840
<v Speaker 1>seven silvers.

0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:33.440
<v Speaker 2>I presume a large portion of those golds come from swimming,

0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.720
<v Speaker 2>which were as a country are very good at doing. Right.

0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:37.960
<v Speaker 1>It's almost the national sport at the moment. You know,

0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.800
<v Speaker 1>there is such a presence of how good Australia is

0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:43.679
<v Speaker 1>in international media. I was listening to a Washington Post

0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Olympics preview this week and they'd spend more time talking

0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.280
<v Speaker 1>about the Australian swimmers than they did about the American swimmers.

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:51.600
<v Speaker 1>So the whole world's watching a lot of the kind

0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:53.920
<v Speaker 1>of predictions of how we're going to go. Says that

0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.120
<v Speaker 1>the swimmers will account for sixty to seventy percent of

0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:58.840
<v Speaker 1>our medals. We've got around Tiitmas trying to defend her

0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.920
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and four hundred style titles. Kaylee McEwen is

0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:04.120
<v Speaker 1>a force to be reckoned with in backstroke, but I'm

0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:06.480
<v Speaker 1>also excited about some of the young talent like Molly

0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:08.360
<v Speaker 1>O'Callahan and Sam short.

0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:10.640
<v Speaker 2>One of my problems in watching the Olympics is that

0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:12.920
<v Speaker 2>I deeply care about the swimming, and that once the

0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:14.839
<v Speaker 2>swimming is over, I feel a bit lost.

0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, the second half tumble.

0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:18.800
<v Speaker 2>We call it what happens after the swimming. Where do

0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:20.600
<v Speaker 2>we get our gold medals from after that?

0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Mate, it's just beginning. So we've got the women's

0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.320
<v Speaker 1>soccer team, the Matilda's, you might be familiar with them.

0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:28.560
<v Speaker 1>They're going to be looking to build on their success

0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:31.079
<v Speaker 1>from last year's World Cup. They could get gold if

0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:34.120
<v Speaker 1>things go well. The men's rugby sevens team is targeting gold.

0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Jessica Fox is an amazing canoeist. She's targeting.

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:38.640
<v Speaker 2>She's our flag bear.

0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.600
<v Speaker 1>She's our flag bearer tomorrow morning. She's targeting two gold

0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:43.760
<v Speaker 1>medals in her events. And then I'm just going to

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:45.920
<v Speaker 1>go through the other medal hopes super quick because there

0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:48.560
<v Speaker 1>are so many. We've got Grace Brown looking good in

0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:51.840
<v Speaker 1>road cycling, Logan Martin in the BMX, he will defend

0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.280
<v Speaker 1>his gold medal he won in Tokyo. And in the athletics.

0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:56.319
<v Speaker 1>Keep an eye on Nina Kennedy in the pole vault

0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:59.520
<v Speaker 1>and nikola Oli Sanger's in the high jump. She wants

0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.520
<v Speaker 1>silver in Tokyo. Then we've got the Kokabaras, the Australian

0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:05.440
<v Speaker 1>men's hockey team and the Australian women's rugby sevens. They're

0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:08.360
<v Speaker 1>both hot favorites in their competitions. And I have not

0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:12.680
<v Speaker 1>even mentioned basketball, skateboarders, sailors, rowers, Alex Demonor and the

0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:16.520
<v Speaker 1>tennis surfers, golfers, boxes shooter as water power weightlifter is

0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:19.520
<v Speaker 1>a questra in triathlon, diving and beach volleyball. And I

0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:22.160
<v Speaker 1>guarantee you in that list there'll be some surprises.

0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:24.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I think I get the picture. There's a lot,

0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:25.840
<v Speaker 2>and you're not breathing.

0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:26.880
<v Speaker 1>I'll speak to you in three weeks.

0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:31.120
<v Speaker 2>But lots of excellent chances that Australia is up for

0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.920
<v Speaker 2>any number of medals and lots of excitement there. One

0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:38.000
<v Speaker 2>of the things I'm really looking forward to is breaking,

0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:40.520
<v Speaker 2>which I have learned is not break dancing. It's breaking.

0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Yes, the cool kids are calling it breaking. This is

0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:44.480
<v Speaker 1>a new sport at the Olympics. It's going to be

0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:47.360
<v Speaker 1>awesome to watch. So the competitors are known as bee

0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:50.000
<v Speaker 1>boys and be girls and they'll face off in these

0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:53.600
<v Speaker 1>one on one dance battles and they'll showcase their best moves.

0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:56.840
<v Speaker 1>It kind of feels like a gymnastics floor routine in

0:10:56.880 --> 0:11:00.000
<v Speaker 1>some ways, like the same level of athleticism and power

0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:03.880
<v Speaker 1>is on display to really cool music, amazing costumes. I'm

0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:06.640
<v Speaker 1>super excited to watch that. It's not the only thing

0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:10.120
<v Speaker 1>that's changing, though. We've got sport climbing, and that debuted

0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:13.000
<v Speaker 1>in Tokyo, but that's now got two separate events, a

0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:15.800
<v Speaker 1>combined category of bouldering, which I know is very popular

0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:18.960
<v Speaker 1>as a pastime here in Australia and lead and there's

0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:20.640
<v Speaker 1>also a speed climbing where you just have to get

0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:22.480
<v Speaker 1>to the top as quick as you can. Then there's

0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.880
<v Speaker 1>also kiteboarding and sailing and a new variation in canoeing

0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:27.240
<v Speaker 1>called kayak cross.

0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:31.320
<v Speaker 2>It's always interesting to understand this modernization and trying to

0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:34.160
<v Speaker 2>keep up with new sports as they arise and certainly

0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:37.360
<v Speaker 2>as they are considered Olympic events. But what I did

0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.400
<v Speaker 2>find interesting is that breaking won't be included in the

0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:43.760
<v Speaker 2>next Games in LA so they've introduced it in time

0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:46.520
<v Speaker 2>for this but then not again at the next Games.

0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:49.960
<v Speaker 1>The selection of sports by the International Olympic Committee can

0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:52.920
<v Speaker 1>be really political, and they're often thinking for eight twelve

0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.760
<v Speaker 1>years ahead, and sometimes what they'll do is introduce a

0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:59.199
<v Speaker 1>sport and say it's a one year activity that doesn't

0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:01.280
<v Speaker 1>necessarily all it out for the next one where they

0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:03.800
<v Speaker 1>can do a bit of back by popular demand. It

0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:05.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of gives it room to be dropped off if

0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:06.880
<v Speaker 1>it's not a success.

0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:09.600
<v Speaker 2>I now feel successfully caught up on everything I need

0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:12.400
<v Speaker 2>to know ahead of the Olympics beginning. Thank you, Sam.

0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:14.440
