WEBVTT - Australia's best-ever Games performance

0:00:01.080 --> 0:00:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Here at two good Sports. We would like to acknowledge

0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:05.520
<v Speaker 1>the traditional owners of the land on which we record

0:00:05.519 --> 0:00:08.880
<v Speaker 1>this podcast, the Werenurie people. This land was never seated,

0:00:09.080 --> 0:00:17.640
<v Speaker 1>always was, always will be. Set Den Girker, News Nouble

0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Ran Jame Jelmy. It's a day we will never forget.

0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:30.000
<v Speaker 2>It is the greatest day in Australian Games history, a

0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:35.080
<v Speaker 2>history that dates back to eighteen ninety six. Australia has

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:38.880
<v Speaker 2>never missed a Games and yet we wake up today

0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Georgie at our most successful ever Australian campaign because we

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 2>have eighteen gold medals and it's been the most golden

0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:52.000
<v Speaker 2>day that we've ever had. We've won four gold and

0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 2>two bronze to take our tally to just the most

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 2>beautiful thing you've ever seen.

0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>We're still top three. We are still a top three

0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:04.120
<v Speaker 1>superpower in the world USA, China, Australi. Australi in at

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:08.640
<v Speaker 1>number three with eighteen golds in total, twelve silvers, eleven bronze,

0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:12.680
<v Speaker 1>forty one medals overall, we're above the host nation in France.

0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:16.639
<v Speaker 1>If everything is looking, if the greens look greener today,

0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:20.399
<v Speaker 1>dear listener, if the golds look golder, that's because they are.

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:21.039
<v Speaker 2>They are.

0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 1>We need to just truly emphasize how monumental the performances

0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:28.920
<v Speaker 1>overnight have been.

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 2>It's a shift, it's oh, it's a shift in how

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:35.600
<v Speaker 2>Australia are viewed internationally in field and track. Have I

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:38.960
<v Speaker 2>flipped it for today? Sure you are, because just the

0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:40.880
<v Speaker 2>success that we've seen, and we're going to get through

0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 2>who won gold, because we're going to start off with

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:44.920
<v Speaker 2>Nina Kennedy.

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh in the pole vault, Nina, Nina nin.

0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 2>If there was any athlete outside of the pool heading

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:55.000
<v Speaker 2>into these Games where anything other than gold would have

0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.120
<v Speaker 2>felt like a loss, yes it was Nina.

0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 1>Yes, one thousand percent. And tell me not to give

0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 1>ourselves anah about on the back. But I'm gona do it.

0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Because who did we talk to in the lead up

0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:09.320
<v Speaker 1>to these games as someone to watch because they were

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:12.400
<v Speaker 1>going to be one of the golden favorites? Ah Kennedy.

0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:16.880
<v Speaker 2>So she's now won our first ever female field gold

0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:19.639
<v Speaker 2>in Games history. Incredible?

0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 1>Like what the twenty seven year old from Bustleton? Am

0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:23.840
<v Speaker 1>I pronouncing it right?

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:28.639
<v Speaker 2>She's from Busselton, Bustle, Western Australia and we will claim her.

0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:32.880
<v Speaker 2>She's twenty seven years old. And the final went for

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:36.880
<v Speaker 2>an epic three and a half hours.

0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Which, jellmy, you did call that this was going to

0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:43.279
<v Speaker 1>be a marathon event. Twenty girls, there's a million competitors

0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:45.320
<v Speaker 1>in this. You add warm up to that, I mean

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:48.440
<v Speaker 1>a marathon event. Actually went for the length of two marathons,

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 1>so shout it all up.

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:53.240
<v Speaker 2>She was a reigning world champion, but she split the

0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 2>gold at the World Champs with Katie Moon. Yes, and

0:02:56.800 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 2>she had become our nemesis because firstly, we love her

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 2>because they both had a chat and they decided to

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:03.000
<v Speaker 2>split the gold.

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:04.880
<v Speaker 1>But we like her when it works for us.

0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:09.240
<v Speaker 2>She is the defending champion, she is American, and it

0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:13.080
<v Speaker 2>was her missing her final jump that secured the gold

0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 2>for Nina, and Nina went berserve.

0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:21.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh, she went absolutely ballistic. But also Nina had to

0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:26.079
<v Speaker 1>fight back to win this crown because surprisingly she failed

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:28.840
<v Speaker 1>to clear her first vault. It was four point seven

0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.919
<v Speaker 1>was the height, which for her really is child's play,

0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:35.880
<v Speaker 1>but she did not complete her first attempt. She stuffed

0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:39.279
<v Speaker 1>that up, which meant that she was seventh in the field. However,

0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:42.400
<v Speaker 1>then she bounced back very very strongly to I don't

0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 1>think she missed until the final, the final jump of

0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 1>four point nine. I think she was like straight away

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.120
<v Speaker 1>and that is where you know that she's a champion.

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 2>And Nina Kennedy's one of those athletes where athletics has

0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 2>been her life. She started a little lasts at ten,

0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 2>was identified very young and she said she was lucky

0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.440
<v Speaker 2>that she was a really talented junior because she was

0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:03.480
<v Speaker 2>picked up by the Ais.

0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Can't relate.

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.000
<v Speaker 2>And she's been really heavily supported, but she has had

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 2>hardship Georgia and the fact that for the twenty sixteen Games,

0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:16.600
<v Speaker 2>her family all bought tickets because at the World Champs

0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:20.040
<v Speaker 2>she had jumped what would be a qualifying height, but

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.160
<v Speaker 2>then she didn't clear the height, so she never got

0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 2>to go to Rio. Her family did, but she had

0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:28.599
<v Speaker 2>challenges going it isn't it isn't it? And then also

0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 2>going in Tokyo because she was West Australian, she couldn't

0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 2>travel everywhere anywhere and everything shut down. So she has

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.760
<v Speaker 2>had all of these challenges. Baiting the thing that I

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:44.039
<v Speaker 2>love about this she's never won an individual title. What

0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:47.120
<v Speaker 2>it's always been split. It's always like she's never outright

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 2>won the golden coming into this, she did interviews where

0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:51.599
<v Speaker 2>they're like, you're the best in the world, and she'd

0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:56.520
<v Speaker 2>say kinder because she's split it. But now it is

0:04:56.720 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 2>outright gold for Australia and she has etched her name

0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:04.160
<v Speaker 2>into the record books as our first ever female Champion

0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:07.760
<v Speaker 2>of Field. And if you glance down the other end

0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 2>of the stage de France, there was another Australian on

0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:13.120
<v Speaker 2>the podium and just the fact that there was Green

0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:15.240
<v Speaker 2>and Gold competing at the same time. We'll get to

0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Matthew Denny later because we've got so many goals to

0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:21.159
<v Speaker 2>get through, but this in terms of bringing track and field,

0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.680
<v Speaker 2>and we've talked about this Georgie. There's a reason why

0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:27.120
<v Speaker 2>Australians loved the first week of the Games because you

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:28.880
<v Speaker 2>know that Ozzie is going to be there and around

0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:31.880
<v Speaker 2>the medals in Nepool. It's just the way that we are. Yeah,

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:35.760
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden, do we dare to think that

0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 2>this is Australia going forward? Oh?

0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 1>I think it has to be. Oh, I think it

0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:42.120
<v Speaker 1>has to be. You talk about a shift. It really

0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:45.360
<v Speaker 1>is the most impressive thing I think about Nina Kennedy

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.719
<v Speaker 1>for me is yes, all of those hardships mentally, I

0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.880
<v Speaker 1>don't think we talk mentally. We don't talk enough about

0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:54.479
<v Speaker 1>how hard pole vault is. Mentally. Yes, we obviously know

0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:56.640
<v Speaker 1>physically it takes a toll on your body. This woman

0:05:56.680 --> 0:06:00.719
<v Speaker 1>has come back from multiple back stress fractures, so it's

0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:03.800
<v Speaker 1>literally an event that has broken her back for her

0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 1>to get where.

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:06.080
<v Speaker 2>She is, and it's never fully healed.

0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:09.240
<v Speaker 1>It's never fully healed. And you just heard that in

0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:11.840
<v Speaker 1>the screen that she released when Katie Moon missed it

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.279
<v Speaker 1>and she knew that she had one gold and it

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:18.640
<v Speaker 1>was this guttural like she couldn't believe it. She was

0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:22.159
<v Speaker 1>also celebrating with another Golden Girl, Jess Fox in the

0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 1>front row of the stud de France, who was there

0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:27.760
<v Speaker 1>to watch her. And I am so excited for Nina

0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:31.039
<v Speaker 1>Kennedy and I'm so excited that Australia will now know

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:32.480
<v Speaker 1>her as a household name.

0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:34.039
<v Speaker 2>And we said this in the lead up when we

0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:36.520
<v Speaker 2>previewed Nina God, I want to have a beer with her.

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, yeah, she's one of the girls. Well you

0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:41.480
<v Speaker 1>call her a girl from Bassa, I'm like, I'm a gal.

0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:45.159
<v Speaker 2>She's taking one of the girls. She's just got wonderful chat.

0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:47.240
<v Speaker 2>And again you talk about the mentality of it. She's

0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:50.360
<v Speaker 2>just said I'm enough without it. Yeah, she's just got

0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:53.880
<v Speaker 2>that mental strength that we see with athletes at this level.

0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.479
<v Speaker 2>And again, just find me a better role model.

0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh and also, I would say, if you're feeling like

0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:01.560
<v Speaker 1>a particularly masochistic kind of day, just watch her Instagram

0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:05.279
<v Speaker 1>videos of her training. Oh my gosh, oh my goodness.

0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:06.840
<v Speaker 1>The woman is a gladdy.

0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Atina, we love you. The pressure was on and Australia

0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:15.400
<v Speaker 2>screamed with you this morning. It was just unbelievable. But Georgie,

0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:17.440
<v Speaker 2>we've just got so much more gold to get through.

0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Keep the screams coming because our new favorite event that

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:24.440
<v Speaker 1>Jelmy and I we are armchair experts on the sailing.

0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Don't you worry about that because we have another gold medal. Mattworn,

0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:31.920
<v Speaker 1>who we have been talking about this week saying he's

0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:34.920
<v Speaker 1>guaranteed a medal. He's in the final. What color is it?

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:36.640
<v Speaker 1>He's the defending champion from Tokyo.

0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:41.000
<v Speaker 2>He delayed, final, delayed, delayed, enough win, what's happening?

0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:41.920
<v Speaker 1>And going on?

0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:42.880
<v Speaker 2>Gold?

0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Gold, gold to Mattworn in the men's dinghy. Now, they

0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:49.360
<v Speaker 1>had a few days out in the water in Marseille.

0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:51.040
<v Speaker 1>They've had a few days out of the water in

0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Marseille waiting for the perfect conditions. The twenty eight year

0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:56.040
<v Speaker 1>old put himself in the perfect place during this gold

0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.840
<v Speaker 1>medal race. However, the race actually had to be abandoned

0:07:59.880 --> 0:08:03.119
<v Speaker 1>about seventy percent of the way through because the wind

0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 1>had dropped too low. So you're in position, your position,

0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:10.640
<v Speaker 1>and you're nearly literally thirty percent of the race to go,

0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 1>and they say, Soul's boys, that's.

0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.320
<v Speaker 2>The stay, and let's just do it again. Do you reckon?

0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:18.040
<v Speaker 2>He was going about mental resilience.

0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:22.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll get it, I'll get the wind back, I'll.

0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:23.840
<v Speaker 2>Get that's got the portable fan.

0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:25.400
<v Speaker 1>He's like, we can't do it.

0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Come on, But he's not short of fans after that performance,

0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:32.679
<v Speaker 2>again defending his gold medal that we did see in Tokyo.

0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:36.000
<v Speaker 2>But he suffered from long COVID after Tokyo. It needed

0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.559
<v Speaker 2>to take a break away from the sport. In early

0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:41.840
<v Speaker 2>twenty two his bed ridden, struggling to perform the basic tasks,

0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:43.960
<v Speaker 2>and he admits he even thought that he wouldn't get

0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:45.840
<v Speaker 2>to Paris because it took him so long to get

0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:46.560
<v Speaker 2>his fitness back.

0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:49.319
<v Speaker 1>And I think for these this is why we say

0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 1>it again and again and again. But this is why

0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.719
<v Speaker 1>we love sport. There's no greater story in sport than

0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:56.800
<v Speaker 1>when you have to overcome adversity, and most sporting stories

0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.520
<v Speaker 1>have that. So once again we are seeing an athlete

0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:02.000
<v Speaker 1>who consider giving away his sport or maybe just not

0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:06.480
<v Speaker 1>competing at this level anymore. But one thing, one factor,

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.360
<v Speaker 1>as it usually does happen, his family and for him,

0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 1>his wife also competes in this class of sailing, so

0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:17.000
<v Speaker 1>oh high achieve its my goodness. So she would have

0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:18.760
<v Speaker 1>been a big factor and a big driving force and

0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 1>motivating factor in him continuing on, and in most incredible scenes,

0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:27.160
<v Speaker 1>she was on hand to celebrate with him. In Marseille.

0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.480
<v Speaker 2>We remember that in Tokyo he would have won gold

0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:30.400
<v Speaker 2>and had no one to know.

0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:32.640
<v Speaker 1>One there, had no one, and now he got.

0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:34.680
<v Speaker 2>To celebrate the gold after going through the journey and

0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:37.920
<v Speaker 2>having a partner with long covid to be so difficult because.

0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:40.439
<v Speaker 1>You just see them. You're used to seeing someone at

0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:43.320
<v Speaker 1>the peak of their physical ability, the peak, and then

0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:45.680
<v Speaker 1>for someone to be bedridden, the person that you love,

0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:47.760
<v Speaker 1>and now to see them back on that podium and

0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:49.160
<v Speaker 1>the top spot on the podium.

0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:54.040
<v Speaker 2>I've got girls Pump speaking of defending champions Georgie, it's

0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:55.040
<v Speaker 2>your pet sport.

0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:58.000
<v Speaker 1>What a segue. The skateboarding famously love it, all of it,

0:09:58.040 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 1>all iterations of it.

0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:02.200
<v Speaker 2>Never said other do not go back and check the records.

0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:05.680
<v Speaker 2>But Keegan Palmer, the twenty one year old, is now

0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:09.160
<v Speaker 2>a duel gold medalist for Australia.

0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:12.840
<v Speaker 1>And I was watching this event overnight and I was

0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.360
<v Speaker 1>watching the qualification round before they went into the final,

0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:17.559
<v Speaker 1>and Keegan was behind. He was sitting in like third,

0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:19.640
<v Speaker 1>and then he got up to a second and then

0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:22.719
<v Speaker 1>he produced one of the greatest runs you'll see in

0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.120
<v Speaker 1>the park event. And I thought, Keegan, have we wasted this?

0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Have we wasted this on the qualification? Yeah, he's gotta

0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.440
<v Speaker 1>save it, save it, freeze it, yeah it freeze it.

0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:32.880
<v Speaker 1>I was like, let's give him the gold now. I

0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.520
<v Speaker 1>needn't have worried because he had three runs in the final.

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:38.480
<v Speaker 1>We're very familiar with this event since Arissa True one

0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:42.080
<v Speaker 1>gold just a day ago, but he kind of did

0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.920
<v Speaker 1>the opposite of Arissa. Arissa saved her gold medal run

0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:48.120
<v Speaker 1>for her third and last run. Keign pulled it off

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.640
<v Speaker 1>in the first. So ninety three point one point one

0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:54.319
<v Speaker 1>he delivered in his flawless opening run and that was

0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:56.360
<v Speaker 1>enough to win the event.

0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:58.800
<v Speaker 2>And amazingly, he was like, I wanted to have a

0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:00.679
<v Speaker 2>solid first run because I had so many tricks to

0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:02.760
<v Speaker 2>pull out for the rest of it. Yeah, so it

0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:04.560
<v Speaker 2>gave him the freedom to go, I'm going to have

0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:06.560
<v Speaker 2>a crack at something I probably won't land. Heret and

0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:09.520
<v Speaker 2>he didn't. Yeah, but it didn't matter matter. He landed

0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:11.680
<v Speaker 2>on the top of the podium. And a shout out

0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:15.640
<v Speaker 2>to the amazing commentators of the skateboarding. It's just been

0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:17.920
<v Speaker 2>such a joy to listen to, but now so fun.

0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:20.880
<v Speaker 2>The gymnastics is winding down. Obviously, the Star Powers have

0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:24.360
<v Speaker 2>decided that the skateboardings for the snakeboardings for them, because

0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:25.920
<v Speaker 2>of course we know that Tony Hawk was going to

0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:27.920
<v Speaker 2>be their dev and booker Leon.

0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Marshall, Oh, Leon Marshall.

0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:33.000
<v Speaker 2>And Landon Norris or just chouting to the twenty one

0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:34.760
<v Speaker 2>year old And this is the bit that I love.

0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:37.079
<v Speaker 2>He could have chosen to represent America.

0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:39.160
<v Speaker 1>That is one of my favorite things about this story

0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.200
<v Speaker 1>as well. Jelmy, I've got it written here because he

0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:43.839
<v Speaker 1>is based in San Diego and when you hear him

0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:49.480
<v Speaker 1>interviews is thick. It is a thick San diego An accent.

0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:52.560
<v Speaker 1>He sounds American and you're like, hang on, Hasso, how

0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:55.280
<v Speaker 1>does this happen? But Keegan has always been very firm

0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:58.120
<v Speaker 1>that he wants to represent Australia and loves to represent

0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Australia because Australia is where he first learned how to skate.

0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:04.320
<v Speaker 1>So just a kid on the Gold Coast, he learned

0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:06.040
<v Speaker 1>how to walk there. He learned how to talk there.

0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Not in that accent, but he learned how to talk.

0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Peter risa drue just coming from the Gold Coast Goldie medals, Yeah.

0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Coming from the goalie representing, and I think that he

0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:20.160
<v Speaker 1>is honestly one of the coolest cucumbers that you've ever encounted.

0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:21.640
<v Speaker 2>Speaks so well.

0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.440
<v Speaker 1>He has that I know he's Australian, but he has

0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:27.320
<v Speaker 1>that American talent. Like he's a journalist's dream. You want

0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:29.880
<v Speaker 1>to chat to this guy because he's just like, yeah,

0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:32.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, I pulled out the goligue and then I

0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:34.760
<v Speaker 1>did that whatever the hell they're called with the I

0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:38.880
<v Speaker 1>forgot the kick the kickflip thing. As you know, I've.

0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:41.880
<v Speaker 2>Also never felt older. He drops dude in every second sentence,

0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:45.720
<v Speaker 2>which again is why we're just so indeared to the skateboarders.

0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:49.160
<v Speaker 2>And if Australia wasn't so successful in the skateboarding, would

0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:53.200
<v Speaker 2>we love it? Potentially not, But now no, the vert

0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:58.480
<v Speaker 2>and the vert for some more chances because two of

0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:01.840
<v Speaker 2>our gold medal tally thanks to the skateboarding, and we

0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:03.720
<v Speaker 2>won't have it said that it shouldn't be in the game.

0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:06.040
<v Speaker 1>No, never, never, We love it so much. Something that

0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:09.640
<v Speaker 1>is a sport that is absolutely ingrained in games culture,

0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:13.440
<v Speaker 1>and I would say Australian games culture is the cycling

0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:18.520
<v Speaker 1>a track cycling in particular, the Australian men's pursuit team

0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:21.200
<v Speaker 1>pulled off one of the best goals of the Games.

0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:23.199
<v Speaker 1>And considering we've won more than we ever have, that

0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:24.560
<v Speaker 1>is saying something.

0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:27.000
<v Speaker 2>You said that Keegan peaked too early. These guys had

0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:30.640
<v Speaker 2>a world record in getting through to the gold Metal

0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:33.920
<v Speaker 2>massage and you're like, guys, if you could just do

0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:38.160
<v Speaker 2>that again, it would be a world record, and they

0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.800
<v Speaker 2>did it and Georgie three West Australians among them. If

0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:42.599
<v Speaker 2>you don't mind, Oh yeah, I knew, I knew you

0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:44.600
<v Speaker 2>would be on a bad wa Here.

0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:47.400
<v Speaker 1>She goes here, she goes. So the team Sam Welsford,

0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Connor Lay, Oliver Bleden and Kell O'Brien the first Ossie

0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:55.719
<v Speaker 1>team to win this event in twenty years. You may

0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:59.200
<v Speaker 1>remember the scenes from Tokyo where a different iteration of

0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:02.199
<v Speaker 1>this team but the same events. We were racing. The

0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:06.840
<v Speaker 1>handlebars of Alex Porter fell off the bike. I remember

0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:07.480
<v Speaker 1>that being like.

0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:10.839
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, and he was putting his full weight as they do,

0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:13.760
<v Speaker 2>leaning on the bars and it just came off. Yeah,

0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:17.000
<v Speaker 2>something that would happen when your dad put together your tricycle,

0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:21.640
<v Speaker 2>potentially not at games level, and it did cost them greatly,

0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:23.720
<v Speaker 2>so they ended up taking out the bronze and it

0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:25.480
<v Speaker 2>was something that their coach has said, we've been to

0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:27.720
<v Speaker 2>helen back with this group. We had so much talent

0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:30.960
<v Speaker 2>heading into Tokyo and people will forget what happened there,

0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:32.760
<v Speaker 2>but we were such a strong team and we ended

0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:35.400
<v Speaker 2>up coming third and they've had to rebuild in that

0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.120
<v Speaker 2>time to come out and be well the best in the.

0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:41.520
<v Speaker 1>World, because it is a sport where it takes generational

0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:44.400
<v Speaker 1>talent and everything to fall into place for you to

0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:47.120
<v Speaker 1>pull off these results. So there's an argument that they

0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:49.840
<v Speaker 1>had that in place in Tokyo. They got bronze. Now

0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:52.200
<v Speaker 1>they had it again. They found a new type of

0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:55.880
<v Speaker 1>generational talent to win the gold and I think really

0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Sam Welsford, part of the team, summed it up beautifully

0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:04.240
<v Speaker 1>post race when he said I wanted it so effing bad.

0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:08.480
<v Speaker 2>We need to do a compilation of Australians knowing that

0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:12.000
<v Speaker 2>they're going to be on air swearing it's the Beep Games,

0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:14.440
<v Speaker 2>It's the most Aussie sport of all. Can they bring

0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:16.160
<v Speaker 2>it in for La because we would nail it.

0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:18.320
<v Speaker 1>He didn't even double take. He was just like, yeah,

0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:19.880
<v Speaker 1>that's the word I meant.

0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:22.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm a world record holder and a gold man as

0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:24.640
<v Speaker 2>of the last forty eight hours. I'll say what I like.

0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:29.960
<v Speaker 1>So that counted one, two, three, four. Nina Kennedy, matt

0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:32.920
<v Speaker 1>worn Keegan Bama and our track team.

0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:35.760
<v Speaker 2>And if you thought our cyclists had good chat enter

0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:42.240
<v Speaker 2>the arena, our first ever Australian medalist in the discus, Yes.

0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Bronze, we love a bronze. Matthew Denny take about I've

0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:50.880
<v Speaker 1>called him mister congeniality one. That is the only term

0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:54.960
<v Speaker 1>I think that best summarizes him as a human. Because also, yes,

0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Nina Kennedy, when she won her goal, she was hugging

0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:59.160
<v Speaker 1>Jess Fox, she was hugging everyone. It was all very exciting.

0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:01.520
<v Speaker 1>There was also gentle giant that came up to her

0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:02.120
<v Speaker 1>and said.

0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Did you win?

0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and she was like, I won, and he gave

0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:07.480
<v Speaker 1>her this big hugain like lifted her up, having only

0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:10.920
<v Speaker 1>just secured himself a medal in his own event. And

0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:12.960
<v Speaker 1>he's one of those guys that you just want to

0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:15.480
<v Speaker 1>be his friend. We mentioned that on the podcast yesterday.

0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:20.200
<v Speaker 1>In his post event interview, he got really really emotional though,

0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah he did. I think it was only just starting

0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.040
<v Speaker 1>to sink in that he'd pulled this off.

0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:27.040
<v Speaker 2>And he'd pulled off something again that an Australian had

0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:30.120
<v Speaker 2>never done. So I think the gravity again has ever

0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:33.000
<v Speaker 2>a bronze felt like a rose gold than what it

0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:36.040
<v Speaker 2>did for Matthew Denny. He finished fourth in Tokyo, so

0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:40.080
<v Speaker 2>he got so close to breaking that elusive medal and

0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.440
<v Speaker 2>getting on the medal tally then, but he actually won

0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:45.280
<v Speaker 2>the Diamond League final. And what we love about him

0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:47.520
<v Speaker 2>and what I know you love about him, he's just

0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:49.160
<v Speaker 2>a big, lovable Queenslander.

0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:51.360
<v Speaker 1>He came out so we know, you know when the

0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:53.680
<v Speaker 1>athletes get announced and they do their big run out

0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.680
<v Speaker 1>and we used to like Noah Lyles, like just pretending

0:16:56.720 --> 0:17:01.160
<v Speaker 1>he's like black panther basically right, yeah, yeah, everyone love me.

0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:04.960
<v Speaker 1>What Matthew Denny did, He went, and this is a

0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:08.200
<v Speaker 1>very niche rugby league reference, so I forgive you, dear listener,

0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:11.439
<v Speaker 1>if you don't know this. He went, that's gold and

0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:14.040
<v Speaker 1>he put his thumbs up and planted it onto his

0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:18.080
<v Speaker 1>other hand. That is a footy show rugby league reference.

0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:23.120
<v Speaker 1>And I thought, my god, Queenslander, he may as well

0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:26.840
<v Speaker 1>worn roan instead of the green and gold.

0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:30.760
<v Speaker 2>But his throw was sixty nine point three one meters

0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:33.320
<v Speaker 2>in his second attempt, which is just four centimeters shy

0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:36.480
<v Speaker 2>of his own personal be so he basically left everything

0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:39.000
<v Speaker 2>out there. I believe it was a games record for

0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:42.520
<v Speaker 2>the win. It was unbelievable throw by the Jamaican but which.

0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Was seemed absolutely effortless and surprised everyone. He went from

0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:47.240
<v Speaker 1>eighth to having a games record.

0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:49.480
<v Speaker 2>They are the largest ballerinas you've ever seen.

0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:51.040
<v Speaker 1>You've seen the bureau weetson.

0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:51.920
<v Speaker 2>It's beautiful.

0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, it was wonderful to watch. Matt Denny

0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:58.679
<v Speaker 1>also did note that anyone, any of his detractors in

0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:00.760
<v Speaker 1>the lead up to this, anyone who'd ever doubted him.

0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:02.960
<v Speaker 1>He had this phrase for them, which I think should

0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:07.359
<v Speaker 1>be etched up on everyone's maybe body, but definitely stadiums

0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:13.439
<v Speaker 1>around Australia, which was just eat it, Eat it. Anyone

0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:15.440
<v Speaker 1>who's ever doubted me, who didn't think I could get here,

0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:18.160
<v Speaker 1>eat it. Because he's got that bronze medal and he's

0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:21.560
<v Speaker 1>already put Brisbane twenty thirty two in his sight, so

0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:24.080
<v Speaker 1>hopefully we see him for another two games campaigns.

0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:26.400
<v Speaker 2>All I'm saying is that the parade where the athletes

0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:28.199
<v Speaker 2>come home, he'd be the one you'd make a b

0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:30.840
<v Speaker 2>line four to give a high five, because you just

0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:34.320
<v Speaker 2>feel like he would give you all of himself. He

0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:37.320
<v Speaker 2>would just be someone who's so present, he's about the people.

0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:40.919
<v Speaker 2>And it's just a win for the good guys, isn't it.

0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:44.119
<v Speaker 1>It really really is another win for the good guys.

0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:47.040
<v Speaker 2>How is there more medals? There's more medals. There's still

0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:50.520
<v Speaker 2>another metal. There is our friend Jemimah Jemima, doctor Jemima.

0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:53.919
<v Speaker 1>You may remember, listeners, we have already talked about Jemima

0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Montag because she's secured bronze. Our first Athletics gold of

0:18:57.680 --> 0:19:00.639
<v Speaker 1>this event in the twenty kilometer individ you Will Walk.

0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:03.800
<v Speaker 1>She teamed up in a new event in Paris with

0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:06.679
<v Speaker 1>a man named Ridy and Cowley, three time Games athlete,

0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:09.120
<v Speaker 1>the marathon race walk mixed relay.

0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:10.800
<v Speaker 2>Rolls off the tongue, rolls.

0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Off the tongue and tell me if I ever ever

0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:15.040
<v Speaker 1>did end up in Hell, if there was a real

0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:17.800
<v Speaker 1>place called Hell, this would be what I would be doing.

0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Because this this event, apparently there is alternate four to

0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:28.240
<v Speaker 1>ten kilometer stints of a marathon distance, so each leg is.

0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:32.840
<v Speaker 2>How sore her body is. Oh, and she's already medaled,

0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:34.960
<v Speaker 2>and that's the thing. She was like, I needed a

0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:36.960
<v Speaker 2>bit of a carrot, you know, she said to me.

0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:39.720
<v Speaker 2>My coach said, I'm going to dangle a carrot for you.

0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:43.199
<v Speaker 2>There's only been four track and field athletes at a

0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Games to get two medals at the championship, and I

0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:48.600
<v Speaker 2>think you're in for a chance. Then I thought, oh gosh,

0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:51.240
<v Speaker 2>anytime someone dangles a carrot, the competitor and me just

0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:54.199
<v Speaker 2>has to take over. So she's like, oh, do I

0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:56.440
<v Speaker 2>really want this? And then the coach basically said, let's

0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:57.240
<v Speaker 2>have a crack now.

0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:00.199
<v Speaker 1>Reason, well the reason as well. I mean, let's just

0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:02.359
<v Speaker 1>add to that history. Let's bring even more context to

0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:06.400
<v Speaker 1>that because the only other Australian woman who has won

0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:10.399
<v Speaker 1>two athletics medals at the Single Games was Railing Boil

0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:14.600
<v Speaker 1>in Munich nineteen seventy two. Little no name, Little no

0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:17.520
<v Speaker 1>name in the Australian history books. And now Jemima Montag

0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:18.520
<v Speaker 1>has put herself there.

0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:21.160
<v Speaker 2>And we talked a bit about Jemimah when she won

0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:23.720
<v Speaker 2>her first medal of the game. Yes, but she is

0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:25.920
<v Speaker 2>someone who gives a lot back to the community. As

0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:29.120
<v Speaker 2>you said, she's working in medicine and also travels around

0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:31.800
<v Speaker 2>to schools educating young girls on the fact that they

0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:35.320
<v Speaker 2>should continue with sport and athletics. Yeah, and now she's

0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:38.160
<v Speaker 2>got two shiny bronze to show to these girls, saying,

0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:40.600
<v Speaker 2>if you stick with it, this is what you can achieve. Yeah.

0:20:40.600 --> 0:20:42.879
<v Speaker 1>And I think that what does sum her up and

0:20:43.040 --> 0:20:46.359
<v Speaker 1>that attitude of there is she is part of something

0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:49.760
<v Speaker 1>bigger than herself, is that in this event, she also said,

0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:52.359
<v Speaker 1>when I lost motivation to do it for myself and

0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:55.679
<v Speaker 1>it was really hard, I thought about doing it for Ridz.

0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:59.320
<v Speaker 1>So her teammate doing it for our coach who was

0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:03.080
<v Speaker 1>going absolutely bonkers on the sidelines and just doing it.

0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Bonkers, bonkers, eat it, eat it, Ridz love it, love it?

0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:10.719
<v Speaker 2>Is there anything more Australia? Now we do need to

0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:13.280
<v Speaker 2>touch on otherwise I'll develop a twitch. We're out of

0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:15.439
<v Speaker 2>the medals and we're into some of the results from yesterday,

0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:18.320
<v Speaker 2>and again we simply can't get through all of them

0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:21.320
<v Speaker 2>because it's been a massive day. But Peter bowl, he

0:21:21.800 --> 0:21:23.880
<v Speaker 2>was flying in the heat as he does. He came

0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:26.440
<v Speaker 2>out and he was leading it after the first lap

0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:28.879
<v Speaker 2>and then he just got absolutely overtaken.

0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:30.840
<v Speaker 1>So this is in the eight hundred meters, the early

0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:33.160
<v Speaker 1>rounds of the eight hundred meters. We have to mention

0:21:33.240 --> 0:21:35.639
<v Speaker 1>it because I really think that all of our listeners

0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:38.119
<v Speaker 1>would reach through their phones or listening device whatever they

0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:40.560
<v Speaker 1>listened to us on and break something if they weren't, like,

0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:41.680
<v Speaker 1>tell me, what on earth.

0:21:41.520 --> 0:21:45.040
<v Speaker 2>Is happening with Peter the repper chargee. So we have

0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:48.720
<v Speaker 2>another chance. And again as much as because he did

0:21:48.800 --> 0:21:51.119
<v Speaker 2>run forth in Tokyo, there was that thought that the

0:21:51.160 --> 0:21:54.000
<v Speaker 2>next progression for him would be can he possibly meddle?

0:21:54.080 --> 0:21:56.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, have I said that a few times? Sure?

0:21:56.520 --> 0:22:00.199
<v Speaker 2>But he has had injury, he's had a broken lead

0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:02.560
<v Speaker 2>up to the point where he wasn't allowed to compete

0:22:02.960 --> 0:22:06.439
<v Speaker 2>and train with fellow athletes because of that band. So

0:22:06.520 --> 0:22:08.719
<v Speaker 2>he said to himself and in the post race interview

0:22:08.760 --> 0:22:11.080
<v Speaker 2>for this heat, the fact that a matter games, I'm

0:22:11.080 --> 0:22:13.960
<v Speaker 2>really proud of that, and I think that again, am

0:22:13.960 --> 0:22:16.960
<v Speaker 2>I tempering my expectation? Sure, but I'm still number one

0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:19.160
<v Speaker 2>fan and we will wait to see what he does

0:22:19.160 --> 0:22:21.960
<v Speaker 2>in the reper charge. And Australian's great at reper charge

0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:23.520
<v Speaker 2>is what we've learned. We're really good at reperture. We

0:22:23.520 --> 0:22:25.560
<v Speaker 2>love the reper charge, love the reperchange. Dang is also

0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:28.439
<v Speaker 2>going to be in that reper charge. And because we

0:22:28.520 --> 0:22:30.240
<v Speaker 2>started with the gold in the field, it would be

0:22:30.320 --> 0:22:32.439
<v Speaker 2>rude for us not to wrap up the athletics with

0:22:32.520 --> 0:22:35.560
<v Speaker 2>another little possibility of maybe and another doctors.

0:22:36.080 --> 0:22:39.320
<v Speaker 1>Can they all do less in the field, because coming

0:22:39.440 --> 0:22:43.320
<v Speaker 1>up we will have Mackenzie Little and forty two year

0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:46.840
<v Speaker 1>old Katherine Mitchell surprise packet of the Games competing in

0:22:46.880 --> 0:22:48.080
<v Speaker 1>the javelin final.

0:22:48.119 --> 0:22:50.520
<v Speaker 2>They've both made it through in her fourth Games.

0:22:50.960 --> 0:22:53.800
<v Speaker 1>So obviously we will continue to bring you the updates

0:22:53.840 --> 0:22:56.040
<v Speaker 1>of what is going on in everything in the track

0:22:56.119 --> 0:22:56.800
<v Speaker 1>and the field on.

0:22:56.800 --> 0:23:01.040
<v Speaker 2>The medals in the track, so why not at a javelin?

0:23:01.160 --> 0:23:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Why wouldn't you? But Serbia were our arch nemesis in

0:23:05.520 --> 0:23:08.040
<v Speaker 2>the basketball team minus twenty four to forty eight hours

0:23:08.080 --> 0:23:11.040
<v Speaker 2>ago because they did eliminate the Boomers, but different result

0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:11.680
<v Speaker 2>for the opals.

0:23:12.200 --> 0:23:14.400
<v Speaker 1>The opals they got one back, they got one back.

0:23:14.400 --> 0:23:17.600
<v Speaker 1>For US defeated Serbia eighty five to sixty seven, which

0:23:17.720 --> 0:23:20.600
<v Speaker 1>means that they are going to play in a medal

0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:23.600
<v Speaker 1>match for the first time since London twenty twelve.

0:23:23.720 --> 0:23:26.159
<v Speaker 2>That's the good news. What's the bad news. It's against

0:23:26.200 --> 0:23:28.959
<v Speaker 2>the USA. And this is the least fun fact that

0:23:29.000 --> 0:23:29.680
<v Speaker 2>we've ever said.

0:23:29.760 --> 0:23:33.679
<v Speaker 1>Go on, George Hippy the USA Jelmy, Remember, dear listener,

0:23:33.680 --> 0:23:36.080
<v Speaker 1>this is a team that actually can't squeeze Caitlyn Clark

0:23:36.240 --> 0:23:40.119
<v Speaker 1>into it will take her defect. Yeah maybe maybe.

0:23:39.680 --> 0:23:43.160
<v Speaker 2>She Kaitlyn Clark from busso could work.

0:23:43.320 --> 0:23:45.800
<v Speaker 1>Has a nice ring to it when you think about it.

0:23:46.240 --> 0:23:50.199
<v Speaker 1>Because Team USA they are currently riding or in the

0:23:50.240 --> 0:23:54.240
<v Speaker 1>midst of, a fifty eight game winning streak at the Games.

0:23:54.280 --> 0:23:58.520
<v Speaker 1>It dates back to nineteen ninety two. So if you're

0:23:58.560 --> 0:24:01.119
<v Speaker 1>doing maths, yes, that means that they have won seven

0:24:01.160 --> 0:24:03.360
<v Speaker 1>straight gold medals in this event and the Opals will

0:24:03.359 --> 0:24:05.400
<v Speaker 1>be taking on them in the semi final.

0:24:05.440 --> 0:24:08.080
<v Speaker 2>Whatever you know what, George, today we made history that

0:24:08.200 --> 0:24:12.760
<v Speaker 2>dates back to eighteen ninety six. Right, so who's to say, right, USA?

0:24:12.920 --> 0:24:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Be afraid?

0:24:13.640 --> 0:24:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, be afraid, you'd be afraid? Who's afraid?

0:24:18.720 --> 0:24:19.919
<v Speaker 2>You? Should? Should be?

0:24:20.080 --> 0:24:20.640
<v Speaker 1>Should be?

0:24:20.680 --> 0:24:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Are the Sharks terrifying? Usually? But this time the competition

0:24:25.000 --> 0:24:27.439
<v Speaker 2>is over? But my goodness, they've had such a strong campaign.

0:24:27.480 --> 0:24:29.760
<v Speaker 2>It was their strongest ever finish in the in the

0:24:29.800 --> 0:24:33.119
<v Speaker 2>men's water Apollo. They've never gone that deep into the

0:24:33.119 --> 0:24:36.119
<v Speaker 2>competition at the Games. But it was a heartbreaking loss

0:24:36.119 --> 0:24:39.920
<v Speaker 2>too after we just said this, this is not great USA.

0:24:39.400 --> 0:24:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Whatever usay whatever. It was a penalty shootout they did

0:24:41.720 --> 0:24:43.920
<v Speaker 1>very very well. All of our hopes now ride on

0:24:44.119 --> 0:24:47.040
<v Speaker 1>the Stingers. And also just a psa everyone, if you're

0:24:47.080 --> 0:24:49.879
<v Speaker 1>not following Tilly Kerns from the Stingers on TikTok and

0:24:49.920 --> 0:24:51.919
<v Speaker 1>all of the social media, what are you doing with

0:24:51.960 --> 0:24:55.200
<v Speaker 1>your life? Make sure you do because her game's content

0:24:55.640 --> 0:24:56.200
<v Speaker 1>is ill it.

0:24:57.240 --> 0:25:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Just to recap that is from a twenty four hour

0:25:01.080 --> 0:25:05.639
<v Speaker 2>period at a Games four gold and two bronze for

0:25:05.680 --> 0:25:09.119
<v Speaker 2>our greatest ever day at of Games to take us

0:25:09.160 --> 0:25:13.800
<v Speaker 2>to our greatest ever gold tally at a Games of eighteen.

0:25:13.960 --> 0:25:18.480
<v Speaker 2>This team have achieved the unthinkable and there are still

0:25:18.560 --> 0:25:22.520
<v Speaker 2>days to go of competition and very real medal chances.

0:25:22.800 --> 0:25:25.280
<v Speaker 2>We previewed and we got excited before the games, and

0:25:25.320 --> 0:25:28.840
<v Speaker 2>sometimes as a sports fan you need to temper your

0:25:28.880 --> 0:25:31.359
<v Speaker 2>expectations because you start to look through and you're like

0:25:31.600 --> 0:25:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Nina Kennedy, she could definitely meddle. Like you go through

0:25:34.160 --> 0:25:35.879
<v Speaker 2>and you go, well, that should be gold, that should

0:25:35.880 --> 0:25:39.960
<v Speaker 2>be golden. Sometimes it just doesn't fall that way, but

0:25:40.080 --> 0:25:43.720
<v Speaker 2>it feels like at this Games, if it could, it does.

0:25:44.160 --> 0:25:48.000
<v Speaker 2>And today is a day in sporting history in our country.

0:25:48.560 --> 0:25:50.600
<v Speaker 2>We will never ever forget. George.

0:25:50.640 --> 0:25:52.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh, we will never forget. And also I think it's

0:25:52.840 --> 0:25:56.000
<v Speaker 1>a day that in the future and this will be gelmy.

0:25:56.000 --> 0:25:57.840
<v Speaker 1>I can already see it in the future when you

0:25:57.960 --> 0:26:00.760
<v Speaker 1>havn't a bad day and you're just like, oh, what

0:26:00.840 --> 0:26:03.840
<v Speaker 1>else could go wrong? I hate everyone, I hate everything.

0:26:04.880 --> 0:26:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Remember that time that we beat everyone? Oh my god,

0:26:09.119 --> 0:26:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Remember that time that we won four gold medals in

0:26:11.000 --> 0:26:13.360
<v Speaker 1>the single day. Remember that time that we won eighteen

0:26:13.480 --> 0:26:14.919
<v Speaker 1>gold medals at a Games and we still had four

0:26:14.960 --> 0:26:17.440
<v Speaker 1>days left a competition. Oh that's this day.

0:26:17.560 --> 0:26:20.280
<v Speaker 2>It is this day. And I'm really passionate about track

0:26:20.320 --> 0:26:23.919
<v Speaker 2>and field athletes getting their jees and it's something that

0:26:23.960 --> 0:26:27.600
<v Speaker 2>we're seeing on a global stage with docos like Sprint

0:26:27.880 --> 0:26:30.840
<v Speaker 2>with You, Noah Larles really pushing going, we're the best

0:26:30.840 --> 0:26:34.000
<v Speaker 2>in the world. Watch US, watch US, engage with US,

0:26:34.040 --> 0:26:37.400
<v Speaker 2>sponsor US. And for Australian athletes that get their time

0:26:37.480 --> 0:26:40.480
<v Speaker 2>in the that get their time in the sun once

0:26:40.520 --> 0:26:44.800
<v Speaker 2>every four years or so, results like this. We know

0:26:44.880 --> 0:26:48.760
<v Speaker 2>with Australians, we're fickle. We like winners. And do you

0:26:48.880 --> 0:26:51.040
<v Speaker 2>know what we've shown this game? We bloody well? Are

0:26:51.640 --> 0:26:54.200
<v Speaker 2>we bloody well? Are Anyway, We've got a preview the

0:26:54.200 --> 0:26:56.080
<v Speaker 2>next twenty four hours that's coming up next. I'm a

0:26:56.080 --> 0:26:56.879
<v Speaker 2>little emotional.

0:27:08.440 --> 0:27:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Jelmy has wiped away the tears from her eyes, but

0:27:11.600 --> 0:27:14.080
<v Speaker 1>they may reform. Let's be honest, because we have so

0:27:14.280 --> 0:27:16.760
<v Speaker 1>much more athletics action coming up tonight.

0:27:16.840 --> 0:27:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Jelmy, are they tears or sleep? Because at this point

0:27:20.520 --> 0:27:23.560
<v Speaker 2>I can't remember last time I shut my eyes. I'm

0:27:23.600 --> 0:27:26.200
<v Speaker 2>looking fresh. I'm so glad this isn't a visual medium

0:27:26.400 --> 0:27:28.119
<v Speaker 2>because it has been a big twenty four hours but

0:27:28.160 --> 0:27:30.439
<v Speaker 2>it's another big twenty four hours coming up because you

0:27:30.480 --> 0:27:33.640
<v Speaker 2>have the women's for By one hundred meter relay round

0:27:33.800 --> 0:27:37.560
<v Speaker 2>one as Tory Lewis, Ella Connolly, Ebonie Lane and Brie Masters.

0:27:37.600 --> 0:27:40.400
<v Speaker 2>You remember Bree as our semi finalist if you don't mind.

0:27:40.400 --> 0:27:42.960
<v Speaker 2>So this is a big watch. It's the first Australian's

0:27:43.000 --> 0:27:45.560
<v Speaker 2>women's sprint team since Sydney two thousand.

0:27:46.160 --> 0:27:49.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm so excited to watch this Gelby too. You don't

0:27:49.119 --> 0:27:51.480
<v Speaker 1>usually see the Aussies in the relays, at least not

0:27:51.520 --> 0:27:53.679
<v Speaker 1>in the finals, right or we haven't got used to

0:27:53.760 --> 0:27:56.800
<v Speaker 1>seeing it, so I'm thrilled that we're even making a presence.

0:27:56.920 --> 0:27:59.119
<v Speaker 2>If you're telling me there's a chance, we're happy to

0:27:59.160 --> 0:28:02.600
<v Speaker 2>have it. There is more than a chance. Jess Whole

0:28:03.000 --> 0:28:05.040
<v Speaker 2>in the fifteen hundred meters. Now, if you haven't watched

0:28:05.080 --> 0:28:07.880
<v Speaker 2>the men's fifteen hundred meters final, we don't have time

0:28:07.880 --> 0:28:09.400
<v Speaker 2>because it's not green and gold. But it's been called

0:28:09.400 --> 0:28:11.879
<v Speaker 2>the race of the century, yes, so please watch it.

0:28:11.960 --> 0:28:16.760
<v Speaker 2>The pace that they set, oh is just obscene. Please again,

0:28:16.960 --> 0:28:18.399
<v Speaker 2>go watch it in your own time. But at three

0:28:18.560 --> 0:28:21.120
<v Speaker 2>thirty five am, I will be watching. Dear Jess Hole,

0:28:21.560 --> 0:28:24.920
<v Speaker 2>have a crack at the semi final. Go you good

0:28:24.960 --> 0:28:27.960
<v Speaker 2>thing again? Has run the fifth fastest time in history

0:28:28.040 --> 0:28:30.280
<v Speaker 2>in this event. Can she do it? Faith Kip Yagon.

0:28:30.760 --> 0:28:32.879
<v Speaker 2>I mean, she's basically a formality at this point. But

0:28:33.600 --> 0:28:34.840
<v Speaker 2>you're telling me there's a chance.

0:28:34.920 --> 0:28:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a legit podium chance. Now what we

0:28:38.240 --> 0:28:42.080
<v Speaker 1>all need to do collectively, Australia, Let's do it now.

0:28:42.720 --> 0:28:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Set your alarm five thirty a m. So reasonable, so reasonable.

0:28:48.240 --> 0:28:51.280
<v Speaker 1>This is a perfect perfectly average humans who like exercise

0:28:51.320 --> 0:28:52.719
<v Speaker 1>get up at this time. Do you know what I mean?

0:28:52.760 --> 0:28:54.800
<v Speaker 1>They're not average humans? But go, oh, you're so right,

0:28:54.800 --> 0:28:59.160
<v Speaker 1>You're so right. The men's two hundred meter final starring

0:28:59.480 --> 0:29:03.440
<v Speaker 1>our Noah Lyles. He's trying to do the double. It's

0:29:03.520 --> 0:29:06.600
<v Speaker 1>happening five thirty tomorrow morning. You will not want to

0:29:06.640 --> 0:29:06.960
<v Speaker 1>miss that.

0:29:07.160 --> 0:29:11.200
<v Speaker 2>You remember that we've described that. He said the one

0:29:11.320 --> 0:29:13.920
<v Speaker 2>hundred meters is my mistress, but the two hundred, the

0:29:13.960 --> 0:29:16.760
<v Speaker 2>two hundred's my wife. And he tried his very best

0:29:17.040 --> 0:29:19.920
<v Speaker 2>to be humble in a press conference until Curly was like,

0:29:19.960 --> 0:29:22.280
<v Speaker 2>go on, talk your shit. That's a direct quote. And

0:29:22.320 --> 0:29:25.440
<v Speaker 2>he said they're going to be depressed when I hit

0:29:25.560 --> 0:29:29.600
<v Speaker 2>the bend. The other athletes are going to be depressed.

0:29:30.080 --> 0:29:32.240
<v Speaker 2>That's how much I'm going to win it by. And

0:29:32.280 --> 0:29:35.440
<v Speaker 2>when you do the doubles at a games in particular,

0:29:35.560 --> 0:29:39.160
<v Speaker 2>you start hitting bolt levels. Oh yeah, I mean he's

0:29:39.200 --> 0:29:41.680
<v Speaker 2>not there yet. Yeah, but in terms of track and

0:29:41.800 --> 0:29:46.200
<v Speaker 2>field history, this is significant. Again, five thirty is the

0:29:46.280 --> 0:29:48.720
<v Speaker 2>sun almost up? Of course it is. But you can

0:29:48.760 --> 0:29:52.600
<v Speaker 2>flick at five thirty because in the boxing, guaranteed.

0:29:52.120 --> 0:29:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Medals, guarantee, guaranteed, guarantee.

0:29:53.840 --> 0:29:55.760
<v Speaker 2>But you're going to be seeing this as Charlie Senior,

0:29:55.840 --> 0:29:56.840
<v Speaker 2>the twenty two year old.

0:29:56.720 --> 0:29:59.640
<v Speaker 1>From Way Wait, wait, what the hell?

0:30:00.000 --> 0:30:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Don't have much else going on? We run, we fight,

0:30:04.080 --> 0:30:07.840
<v Speaker 2>sun's out, we swim a bit, we sail recycling. I hear,

0:30:07.960 --> 0:30:11.560
<v Speaker 2>we're outdoorsy. We just we're athletic because there's not much

0:30:11.560 --> 0:30:14.160
<v Speaker 2>else to entertainers. There's not much of a bar scene.

0:30:14.200 --> 0:30:18.400
<v Speaker 2>But we are guaranteed a men's medal coming up in

0:30:18.440 --> 0:30:20.920
<v Speaker 2>the men's boxing. And then also Katelyn Parker, who we've

0:30:20.920 --> 0:30:23.280
<v Speaker 2>identified as someone you're gonna love.

0:30:23.440 --> 0:30:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, so just to put a little exclamation point

0:30:26.080 --> 0:30:28.200
<v Speaker 1>on that, we'll talk about her more tomorrow. But we

0:30:28.280 --> 0:30:31.080
<v Speaker 1>have another guaranteed metal chance in the boxing with Katelyn

0:30:31.120 --> 0:30:33.479
<v Speaker 1>park Of, the twenty eight year old from Dromana, the

0:30:33.480 --> 0:30:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Mornington Peninsula in Victoria. I heard an interview on ABC

0:30:37.560 --> 0:30:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Radio with her neighbor, a lovely woman named Amelda, and

0:30:40.920 --> 0:30:43.720
<v Speaker 1>the reporter asked, Emmelda, have you ever seen her like

0:30:43.760 --> 0:30:45.720
<v Speaker 1>running up and down the street doing like the full

0:30:45.840 --> 0:30:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Rocky like getting in the zone. Emelda, bless her, said

0:30:50.160 --> 0:30:53.560
<v Speaker 1>only if there was an ice cream truck. That's all

0:30:53.640 --> 0:30:55.000
<v Speaker 1>you need to know about Caitlyn Parker.

0:30:56.800 --> 0:30:58.120
<v Speaker 2>That is all you.

0:30:58.120 --> 0:31:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Need to know about her. She is in action from

0:31:00.520 --> 0:31:02.959
<v Speaker 1>six to tone.

0:31:04.360 --> 0:31:09.880
<v Speaker 3>Oh god, Melda, will you come on Ossie Teams tomorrow

0:31:09.920 --> 0:31:12.240
<v Speaker 3>at four thirty five am. Their tears of a different

0:31:12.280 --> 0:31:14.640
<v Speaker 3>kind from me. The Stingers face the USA.

0:31:14.760 --> 0:31:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Will they leave us alone in America? Get out of America?

0:31:17.560 --> 0:31:20.480
<v Speaker 2>In a semi final of the women's water polo, this

0:31:20.680 --> 0:31:24.000
<v Speaker 2>team are so inspirational. There's so many stories about the

0:31:24.040 --> 0:31:26.280
<v Speaker 2>women's water polo and if we can medal, it will

0:31:26.440 --> 0:31:29.600
<v Speaker 2>just be unbelievable. And time for my flex about saying

0:31:29.600 --> 0:31:33.040
<v Speaker 2>Maria Favod Sola and jalequal Clans. You're into the semi

0:31:33.040 --> 0:31:34.880
<v Speaker 2>finals of the Women's beach Volleyball. You can watch that

0:31:34.920 --> 0:31:37.800
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow at five am, So maybe get up at five

0:31:37.920 --> 0:31:41.440
<v Speaker 2>beach volleyball, into a little bit of the Noah Isles,

0:31:41.800 --> 0:31:42.600
<v Speaker 2>maybe into a.

0:31:42.520 --> 0:31:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Bit of boxing, bit of boxing, and we'll just is

0:31:44.960 --> 0:31:45.760
<v Speaker 1>there a better morning?

0:31:45.800 --> 0:31:49.240
<v Speaker 2>Are Were you to see you after that for medals? Sure? Sure, sure,

0:31:50.960 --> 0:31:54.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm buzzing about all of this. This is just

0:31:54.200 --> 0:31:55.480
<v Speaker 2>the most ridiculous day.

0:31:55.600 --> 0:31:58.640
<v Speaker 1>I actually feel like it genuinely feels like weave one.

0:31:58.960 --> 0:32:03.320
<v Speaker 2>It's also it's my birthday.

0:32:03.360 --> 0:32:04.520
<v Speaker 1>It's not I'm not going to get it.

0:32:06.520 --> 0:32:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Should be like just for something that we love to

0:32:10.120 --> 0:32:13.040
<v Speaker 2>bring so many Australians together and joy and there's so

0:32:13.120 --> 0:32:17.000
<v Speaker 2>much rubbish that happens in the news. This is the

0:32:17.040 --> 0:32:21.200
<v Speaker 2>same as heavy stories, and this is just camaraderie and

0:32:21.320 --> 0:32:26.120
<v Speaker 2>dedication and perseverance and what people can do when they

0:32:26.120 --> 0:32:27.640
<v Speaker 2>dedicate themselves to something.

0:32:27.760 --> 0:32:29.600
<v Speaker 1>And it's the chance for all of us who are

0:32:29.600 --> 0:32:31.440
<v Speaker 1>watching it to sit back and go, I am so

0:32:31.520 --> 0:32:33.880
<v Speaker 1>happy that they've dedicated their life to doing that. So

0:32:33.960 --> 0:32:34.480
<v Speaker 1>I get to.

0:32:34.440 --> 0:32:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Hear how many little Nina Kennedy's are somewhere going mumkin,

0:32:38.160 --> 0:32:40.000
<v Speaker 2>I actually really want to have a crack at little

0:32:40.040 --> 0:32:43.320
<v Speaker 2>Laths And we've talked about.

0:32:43.360 --> 0:32:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Some of the amazing faces of the games, but someone because.

0:32:46.280 --> 0:32:49.400
<v Speaker 2>We've had so many gold to look at Georgie, we

0:32:49.440 --> 0:32:53.040
<v Speaker 2>have glaringly omitted from our commentary to this point, which

0:32:53.080 --> 0:32:57.160
<v Speaker 2>is an oversight because they've been one of the main characters,

0:32:57.520 --> 0:32:58.840
<v Speaker 2>and it's our fun fact.

0:32:58.600 --> 0:33:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Our fun fact for the day, Snoop.

0:33:03.040 --> 0:33:08.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh see, I was gonna go with Snoop Dog again.

0:33:08.560 --> 0:33:10.800
<v Speaker 2>The fact that I just gives you an indication of

0:33:10.800 --> 0:33:13.080
<v Speaker 2>where we're at. But our fun fact for the day

0:33:13.160 --> 0:33:19.520
<v Speaker 2>is supposedly NBC's special commentator, Snoop Dragon, Snoop Liones, Snoop Dog,

0:33:19.680 --> 0:33:22.200
<v Speaker 2>whatever the iteration has been. If you had have picked

0:33:22.280 --> 0:33:24.040
<v Speaker 2>him in the early two thousands when you and I

0:33:24.040 --> 0:33:26.000
<v Speaker 2>were listening to those two songs as someone that would

0:33:26.000 --> 0:33:28.560
<v Speaker 2>be a face of a games, you would go probably not.

0:33:29.120 --> 0:33:33.640
<v Speaker 2>And yet he is getting paid reportedly half a million

0:33:34.440 --> 0:33:37.640
<v Speaker 2>US dollars I by NBC.

0:33:37.680 --> 0:33:42.320
<v Speaker 1>Believe maybe unpopular opinion, but I actually think popular opinion

0:33:42.840 --> 0:33:47.000
<v Speaker 1>he is earning every cent of it. I love seeing

0:33:47.080 --> 0:33:50.240
<v Speaker 1>him at the events. I love how he dresses up.

0:33:50.520 --> 0:33:52.680
<v Speaker 1>If you haven't seen him and Martha Stewart in full

0:33:52.680 --> 0:33:56.480
<v Speaker 1>Equestrian tales, then bloody well go to it. And look

0:33:56.480 --> 0:33:58.320
<v Speaker 1>at him in that tuxedo with the top hat.

0:33:58.160 --> 0:33:59.880
<v Speaker 2>The fact that he's next to Martha's Stewart, they're both

0:33:59.880 --> 0:34:00.560
<v Speaker 2>they crimps.

0:34:00.760 --> 0:34:01.520
<v Speaker 1>I just love it.

0:34:01.840 --> 0:34:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Really, he's a really od But the thing that I'm

0:34:04.640 --> 0:34:06.840
<v Speaker 2>loving about Snoop is that a lot of the time

0:34:06.880 --> 0:34:09.279
<v Speaker 2>he has specially made outfits, as you mentioned, and a

0:34:09.320 --> 0:34:12.600
<v Speaker 2>lot of the time they're heroing female athletes.

0:34:12.320 --> 0:34:14.839
<v Speaker 1>One hundred percent all of those T shirts. Like he's

0:34:14.840 --> 0:34:18.319
<v Speaker 1>at the gymnastics, he's watching all of the America, the

0:34:18.440 --> 0:34:19.240
<v Speaker 1>USA rugby.

0:34:19.400 --> 0:34:23.920
<v Speaker 2>But he is famous for the dancing horses, the dressage,

0:34:23.920 --> 0:34:26.000
<v Speaker 2>and if you're gonna look at one clip of Snoop today,

0:34:26.040 --> 0:34:29.319
<v Speaker 2>it's him in full dressage kit dancing in front of

0:34:29.320 --> 0:34:32.520
<v Speaker 2>one of the games horses. That's probably worth his half

0:34:32.880 --> 0:34:33.640
<v Speaker 2>day salary.

0:34:33.760 --> 0:34:35.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're so right, You're so right. It's honestly, I

0:34:35.760 --> 0:34:38.080
<v Speaker 1>think he has brought so much joy. He's earned it

0:34:38.160 --> 0:34:40.960
<v Speaker 1>because of the coverage that he has been getting NBC

0:34:41.239 --> 0:34:43.799
<v Speaker 1>their coverage, but just the games around the world.

0:34:43.680 --> 0:34:45.959
<v Speaker 2>I love it. There are so many of these little

0:34:46.000 --> 0:34:48.040
<v Speaker 2>bits that Georgie and I are dying to talk about

0:34:48.040 --> 0:34:49.839
<v Speaker 2>from the Games. But as you can probably.

0:34:49.560 --> 0:34:54.160
<v Speaker 4>Tell, it's busy busy covering Australian events, So we're going

0:34:54.160 --> 0:34:57.799
<v Speaker 4>to do a summation of the color around Paris that

0:34:57.880 --> 0:35:00.680
<v Speaker 4>we've been furiously sending each other in me but haven't

0:35:00.680 --> 0:35:03.400
<v Speaker 4>had a chance to talk about because that is a

0:35:03.480 --> 0:35:04.600
<v Speaker 4>massive part of the Games.

0:35:04.600 --> 0:35:09.120
