00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: Welcome to The Wrap, a weekly podcast covering women's sports

2
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: news bears. What have we got around the grounds? This week?

3
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 2: Two Ozzie women are through to the Big Air Final

4
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 2: at the Winter Olympics. Annalie Malee gets the first triple

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 2: double of this WNBL season, and Gracie hemp Street has

6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 2: become the first woman in history to win two Red

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 2: Bull Hardline events.

8
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: How good for the key story? We discussed how Unrivaled

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: has become the highest attended women's professional basketball regular season

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: game in history and what it means for the future

11
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: of women's basketball. Last They Say episode dropped with Emma Jeffcoat,

12
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: the incredible Aussie triathlete. She's a beast. It was actually

13
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: a similar chat to me for me chatting to Lizzie Welborne,

14
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: the Iron Series athlete, who I absolutely loved. Just really cool,

15
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: I think to chat to these athletes who have an

16
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: immense amount of perspective. Some of the themes she talked about

17
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: around body image, overtraining, new tree, underfueling, and the things

18
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: that she's learned.

19
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 3: I think there were just like.

20
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: So many insane themes that young people need to be

21
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: listening to. So if you haven't listened check it out

22
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: or send it to someone who needs to listen to it.

23
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: My name is Chloe. I'm joined every week on the show,

24
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: but my co host Bez, I'm virtual. I've been in

25
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: Perth for the Perth seven so I'm on the land

26
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: of the Nunga people.

27
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 2: Bez, I am on the land of the Gatico people.

28
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: And how are you feeling, Chloe Big weekend?

29
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit croky. I've been in an HSBC

30
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: ambassador role, just chatting to all the people NonStop, just

31
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: having a good time. It was awesome. I loved it.

32
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: I loved being back at the sevens. I got to

33
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: hang up with my teammates all weekend. We're not current teammates,

34
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: my ex teammates, Quirky and Charlotte. Yeah. I've had an

35
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: amazing time. It's been very fun. Exhausted, but it's been good.

36
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: Let's take a look around the grounds.

37
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 3: Oh the Olympics.

38
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: How good has it been? I love the Winter Olympics.

39
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 2: I was talking about it with Cursed. I think there's

40
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: an element of when I watch the Winter Olympics, I'm

41
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: also learning, because I definitely don't know everything there is

42
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: to know about the winter sports. Just I guess we're

43
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: just not exposed to it as much, but yeah, it's

44
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 2: been amazing. So two WUSI women are through to the

45
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 2: Big Air Final at the twenty twenty six Winter Olympic

46
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 2: Games after a pretty nerve wracking qualifying session. Olympic debutante

47
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: Meyler Stalker finished in six spot after two runs of

48
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: eighty two point twenty five and eighty two point seventy five,

49
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: while Olympic medalist Test Cody hung on for twelve and

50
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 2: just squeezed into that last spot in the final with

51
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: her best scorse of seventy eight point five and seventy five.

52
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: Despite an epic first round where she scored eighty five

53
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 2: point twenty five points, sixteen year old Ali Hickman could

54
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: not get the points she needed in the final round,

55
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 2: finishing the qualifiers just three positions back in fifteenth place.

56
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 3: That's rough, isn't it.

57
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: The women's a Big Air finally set to take place

58
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: on Tuesday morning at five point thirty amadt just as

59
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: the rap drop, so you can tune in, listen to

60
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 2: the rap and watch the girls carve up in the final.

61
00:02:58,600 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 3: Go well, oh good?

62
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, gosh, last night it was very emotional watching Lindsey

63
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 2: vonn I think we've all followed her story even before

64
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 2: the ACL thing, watching her as a forty one year

65
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: old making her return to what is.

66
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 3: A really physically demanding.

67
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: Sport brutally so so inspiring and she is the greatest,

68
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 2: So for those of you that you've probably all seen it,

69
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 2: but if you haven't seen it in she'd done two

70
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: practice runs already, was in the women's downhill final and

71
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 2: unfortunately crashed out just thirteen seconds into her run and

72
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 2: was had to be airlifted off the mountain in a helicopter.

73
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: Now obviously heartbreak. She got what looked like she got

74
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 2: her arm caught in the flags in the gate thing

75
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 2: and then just completely stacked it I think that's a

76
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: technical term, and was definitely in some pain on the mountain.

77
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 2: But can we just talk about how scary it would

78
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 2: be to be put into that thing and taken off

79
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 2: the mountain in a helicopter hanging from a rope.

80
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: Yes, and you hope that she's had a bit of

81
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: a green whistle for that process because that was scary.

82
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: But also the thing I couldn't get past was when

83
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: she landed, like their bindings must be so tight and

84
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: you've got a broken leg and she's just stuck there like,

85
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: oh God.

86
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've read a bit of commentary about the fact

87
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 2: that her skis didn't come off like they potentially should

88
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 2: should have.

89
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 3: Oh, the whole thing was just devastating.

90
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: She did, Oh are they meant to?

91
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 3: Kind of like that was some of them.

92
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: Some of the comments I read were referring to the

93
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 2: fact that her Yeah, the skis should have unclipped, but

94
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 2: as I said.

95
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: She've done anything about like putting them on tighter because

96
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: of her ACL stuff.

97
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good question, and it kind of leads

98
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 3: to my question.

99
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 2: So she ended up with a fractured left leg, which

100
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 2: is the same leg that she did the ACL in

101
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: only what ten days ago? Brutal and I guess you

102
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 2: have a physiodagree, So I'd like your expert opinion. Did

103
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: that impact the fracture of her leg?

104
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: God, that's a big question. I haven't worked. I'm actually

105
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: no longer registered. I haven't worked in quite some time.

106
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: I was actually going to say, without just trying to

107
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: use my expired degree, I was actually quite curious is

108
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: if she was wearing a knee brace, whether that had

109
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: anything to do with it as well, Like when she

110
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: was landing, you know, if her knee was just like

111
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: completely locked in, I wasn't sure if I had something

112
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: to do with it.

113
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 3: That makes sense.

114
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 2: And yes, because that she was wearing a knee brace,

115
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 2: so then that obviously didn't allow potentially didn't allow her

116
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 2: leg to flex the way it might of.

117
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: Yes, not that our bones really bend that well, but

118
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: you know, I think we might have limited now now

119
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: a did. We're all doctors here, aren't we. That's why

120
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: you listen to the right view folks.

121
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 2: Anyway, and like absolutely tragic and for Lindsey it led

122
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: to an outpouring of support and it just shows the

123
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 2: kind of impact she has in the sporting landscape.

124
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 3: She had.

125
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 2: I see President christ Commentry Rapha and adal Eagash fontech

126
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 2: and so many people like tweeting her and wishing her well.

127
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 2: It was a bittersweet for the American team. Bond's teammate

128
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 2: Breeze Johnson, great name for a downhill ski that feels

129
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 2: a lot of breeze in her hair, became the only

130
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 2: other American woman in history to claim Olympic downhill gold.

131
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 2: Breezie took the lead early with her time of one

132
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 2: point thirty six point one as a six racer down

133
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 2: the course and it narrowly held up to earn her

134
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 2: a gold medal, with a difference between gold and silver

135
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: just four hundreds of a second. There's a little bit

136
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 2: of chat also around the fact that everyone that went

137
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 2: after Lindsay vonn because obviously it was about a thirty

138
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 2: five minute delay. Oh god, yeah, yeah, it didn't race

139
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 2: quite as well as they should have. So anyway, sending

140
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 2: big lub out to Lindsay and congratulations to Breezy.

141
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 3: Great name, great name.

142
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: In a bit of rugby seven's news. I'm feeling still

143
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,559
Speaker 1: quite heartbroken after that final. Both Australia and New Zealand

144
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: played amazingly well throughout the pool rounds and then in

145
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: their semi finals. I think the Aussie women were looking

146
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: really good and we're very much deserving of being in

147
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: that final. They won per seven's last year. We were

148
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: really hoping they were going to go back to back,

149
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: but New Zealand were, to be honest, significantly the better team.

150
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 3: They're just they're clinical, aren't they. And I think that's

151
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 3: the thing with sevens.

152
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 2: We speak about it all the time in sevens seven

153
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 2: minute halves. If you make a mistake, you pay for it,

154
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 2: and they just didn't make as many mistakes as we it.

155
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, they did, and their I think their defensive pressure.

156
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: We've seen the way that they're able to shut down

157
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: Maddi Levi out whide. They try and rush up with

158
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,679
Speaker 1: their line speed and prevent the ossie's getting clean quick

159

242
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: Sometimes Red Bull Hardline decides the result before race date

243
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: even arrives. After Saturday's seating runs on the brutal Tasmanian

244
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: track a Red Bull Hardline Tasmania, the weather rolled in

245
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: hard enough that Sunday's final was called off with deteriorating

246
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: surface conditions from top to bottom. Safety came first, which

247
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: we love to hear, and that meant the stopwatch from

248
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: seeding would tell the story. Canadian mountain biker Gracie hemp

249
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: Street has once again shown she is the Queen of Tazzy,

250

252
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,199

Speaker 1: point seventy five kilometer course packed with eighty kilometer an

00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: hour descents and massive ten meter drops. No cuss attacking

255
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,440

Speaker 1: to bottom to post a four zero eight run that

257
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: no one could touch. Scotland's Luise Ferguson chased hard but

258
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: finished just under five seconds back the wind marks. Back

259

Speaker 2: Delhi Capital's total of four for two hundred and three,

268
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 2: which was the high score ever made in a final.

Speaker 2: wicket partnership to guide RCB towards their second title in

274
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 2: with eight needed off the final four balls, Raja Yadab

275
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 2: hit two consecutive boundaries to complete a thrilling chase. Mendanna

276
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 2: was named Player of the matches. She took the orange

277

280
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 1: In the Women's Super League, fourth placed Arsenal have upset

281
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: latter leader's Manchester City one nill at the Emirates fresh

282
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: from their FIFA Women's Champions Cup victory. Arsenal put in

283
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: a dominant first half display and took the lead in

284
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: the seventeenth minute through Olivia Smith, with unable to peg

285
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: one back in the match, the Winds snap City's thirteen

286
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: match winning run, while Arsenal had just one point behind

287
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: third place Chelsea with a game in hand, as teams

288
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,359
Speaker 1: fight it out for a top three finish for automatic

289
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: Champions League qualifications. Gosh, I get confused sometimes with all

290
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: the different leagues happening at all the times. Like sometimes

291
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: it's like, wait, but then Arsenal's ahead of Chelsea and that,

292
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: but then Chelsea are ahead in this like it's tough

293
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: to keep up with.

294
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 3: There's a bit going on over there.

295
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: In other WSL games this week in Liverpool defeated Aston

296
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: Villa for one, Everton beat the London City Lioness as

301
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,280

Speaker 2: The new unrivaled at three on three Basketball League has

303
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 2: become the highest attended women's professional basketball regular season game

304
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 2: in history last month. The previous record for the sport

305
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 2: had been set by the WNBA in the game between

306
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 2: the Indiana Fever and the Washington Mystics. In twenty twenty four,

307
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 2: Unrivaled drew twenty one thousand, four hundred and ninety fans

308
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 2: at the Exfinity Merbole Arena in Philadelphia to also become

309
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 2: the most attendant event ever at the Xfinity Meurble Arena.

310
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 2: Having played all of its games so far in Miami,

311
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 2: Unrivaled took the opportunity to take games elsewhere in its

312
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 2: second season. Prior to Unrivaled, Philadelphia had not hosted a

313
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 2: professional women's basketball since nineteen ninety eight, but the city

314
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 2: is set to welcome a WNBA expansion team in twenty thirty,

315
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 2: so clo what is unrivaled?

316
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: Unrivaled founded by Breonna Stewart and the FISA Collier, it

317
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: provides an opportunity for thirty six of the top WNBA

318
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: players to remain in the United States. We love that

319
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: for an eight week season in a custom built facility

320
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: in Miami. Sorry, I feel like I should just explain

321
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: it's great that players travel, But I think what I

322
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: meant by that comment, I think it's nice that players

323
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: can stay. Technically, I guess at home, A lot of

324
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: them need to travel overseas and liveo for often short

325
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: periods or extended periods of time to earn any good money.

326
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: So I think it's cool that there's opportunities for them

327
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: to stay at home and compete. Just putting that out there.

328
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: I would like to play basketball in Europe. No, I wouldn't,

329
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: I'd suck. Unrivaled has said is offering the highest average

330
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: salary in professional women's team sports, with a reported total

331
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: salary pool of eight million dollars, which puts the league's

332
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: average salary around two hundred and twenty two thousand US dollars.

333
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: That's epic. It's higher than the WNBA's average, which is

334
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: one hundred and nineteen thousand USD. That's gone up since

335
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: we last talked about it, though I reckon.

336
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 3: It has yet.

337
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: But I think the thing with Unraveled is it's an

338
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 2: eight week season for two hundred and twenty grand. That's nice,

339
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 2: an average of two hundred twenty grand. So some people

340
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 2: are making more than that, which is amazing.

341
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: Especially USD don't mind it. Its success comes as talks

342
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: between the WNBA and the Women's National Basketball Players Association

343
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: the WNBPA continue over a new collective bargaining agreement the CBA.

344
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: Several WNBA players who are competing and Unrivaled have indicated

345
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: they would be willing to go and strike if an

346
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: agreement cannot be reached.

347
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 2: Having completed, it's stopped in Philadelphia, the league is already

348
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 2: open to adding more to a dates next season during

349
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 2: would open up a new revenue source for Unrivaled, which

350
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 2: earned more than US twenty seven million dollars in income

351
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 2: and it's inarmural campaign and almost broke even We love

352
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 2: that so interesting. This obviously unrivaled competition was set up

353
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 2: to live in Miami for One of a better word,

354
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 2: and this was the first opportunity for them to move

355
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 2: to Philly, and Philly, as we said, he's getting a

356
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: team WMA team in twenty thirty. It's an interesting obviously

357
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 2: business proposal to set up in one space helps you

358
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 2: cost wise, and you know, it makes it for one

359
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 2: of a be word easier in those initial years. But

360
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 2: taking these games now on the road to cities that

361
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 2: haven't had women's basketball, it just shows they're absolutely thirsty

362
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 2: for it, aren't they.

363
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I wonder if there's an element of obviously

364
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: the big basketball fans and Philly we know that they've

365
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 1: got a team coming, but I think there's an element

366
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: of if it's a one off thing where people were

367
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: allegue or competitions coming to your town and you don't

368
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: often get access to it, I feel like people kind

369
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: of get off their bums a bit more and they're like,

370
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:19,959
Speaker 1: I'm going to buy a ticket, I'm going to go.

371
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 1: I think like, if we talk about Sydney, I love

372
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: Sydney with all my heart. It's my hometown. But God,

373
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: Sydney people are flaky, you know, Like I feel like

374
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: sometimes we're a little bit spoilt for choice. So I

375
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: just wonder if there's an element of like scarcity and

376
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: whether that whether that model could be copied a bit

377
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: across multiple different sports.

378
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 3: Yeah.

379
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, as you said that people that are starved

380
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 2: of it, if they see it's an opportunity and they

381
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 2: haven't had one in however long, they're probably more likely

382
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 2: to take it. Like you said, when people are spoiled

383
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 2: for choice, they can tend to get lazy.

384
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 3: Like me, let's say, look at what to watch.

385
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: Went to Olympics. The action continues this week the twenty
