And you know what, 83 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 3: Novak statistically is undoubtedly the greatest of all time. I 84 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 3: would refute that it's Federer because of emotional feelings, but when. 85 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: You correct, can you'd be correct? 86 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 2: Jell mey, No, No, you'd be correct. 87 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: It is actually Federal. 88 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 2: He's twenty one. 89 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: He is twenty one.

Statistically 92 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: the greatest of all time in the men's game. I mean, 93 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: it's wild. This wild this line could do.

Most recently, Jessica 208 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: Hull was in headlines for running a super fast time 209 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: and the fifteen hundred meters, smashing an Australian well, smashing 210 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: her peb and smashing an Australian record. 211 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 3: The fifth fastest woman ever ever over the fifteen hundred 212 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 3: meters and stunned herself. Yes, and basically she just got 213 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 3: on the coattails of an icon of the sport and 214 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 3: the world record holder and was like, I want to 215 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 3: hang on here, and she did. 216 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 1: And she did and she did it. But then more impressively, 217 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: she backed that up only days later to compete in 218 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: the two thousand meters, which yes, is not unofficial Olympic 219 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: distance we need we're ignoring that, we're ignoring it for now, 220 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: but the two thousand meters and she just went and 221 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,239 Speaker 1: ran the fastest time ever ever. 222 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 2: Ever, ran it in five nineteen seventy. 223 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: Disgusting in my mind, how can you run that fast? 224 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 2: Good? 225 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 3: And has just come and she's someone who's been on 226 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 3: the sete for a while. If you follow Australian athletics, 227 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 3: you'd be aware of jess and what she's been doing. 228 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 3: But it is unbelievable to think of the straps that 229 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 3: she is hitting two weeks out or for them two 230 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 3: and a bit weeks out, because track, as we know, 231 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 3: is later in the games. 232 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 2: It just seems such an opportune time. 233 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: Well, I also love that at this particular meet where 234 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: she did smash the two thousand meter world record, and 235 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: I's something that I had not seen before. So it 236 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,599 Speaker 1: may be my ignorance. You are far more across the 237 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: track and field, so maybe you are aware. But when 238 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: she was running, there were these fan friendly green lights 239 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,839 Speaker 1: of the world record time, and so they were kind 240 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,719 Speaker 1: of like lighting up as she went. We know when 241 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: you go through a tunnel and there's like those green 242 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: lights being like tracking your speed. Essentially, it was that, 243 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: and she really kept with that pace the whole time, 244 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: so she was able to pace herself very very. 245 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 2: Well, like if the swimming line was real. 246 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: If the swimming line was real, yes, that's exactly what 247 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: it is, Yes, and you could see it. And so 248 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 1: when I found it, it also just looks cool because 249 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: she's running so fast and it looks like there's little 250 00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 1: lights that she's like speeding off. 251 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 3: She's on Mario car Now, let's have a listen to Jess. 252 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 3: This is after she broke the world record, it's. 253 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 5: Insane, Like I don't really know what to say of 254 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 5: the last few days. It's just been crazy, and I 255 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 5: think it's like, in a way, I was really happy 256 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 5: I had this because I could just reread a group 257 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 5: and come up it and focus on this. But now 258 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 5: I don't really know what to think, and I'm gonna 259 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,319 Speaker 5: have to take the next few days to take it 260 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 5: all in.

She was born in England. 333 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 2: Oh they lose more than just football over there. 334 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: She was born over in England. Her mother has Scottish 335 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: discern her dad as Indian Jamaican descent, and then she 336 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: traveled to Australia when she was a young kid. She 337 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: settled in Newcastle first of all, and the first sport 338 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: that actually captured her attention was not track and field. 339 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: It was gymnastics. Apparently when she was five. She really 340 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: really loved it and competed until she was about eleven 341 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: before deciding. 342 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 2: Good Toning, good Toning, good prep. 343 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: Good Troning, good Toning, It's excellent core, excellent discipline. She 344 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: has basically had sport in her life forever. At the 345 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: age of eleven, she decided that she wasn't really too 346 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: much into gymnastics anymore. She her and her mum moved to 347 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: Brisbane and then she got poached, as we like to say, 348 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: may an athletic squad. That thought, hang on a second, 349 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: we've seen you playing these other sports. I think she 350 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: played tennis, I think she played netball, and they saw 351 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: something in her and were like, can you actually maybe 352 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: consider taking the track a little bit more? Seriously, the 353 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: woman is only nineteen years of age now, she's only 354 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: nineteen years old. In twenty twenty four, she's off to 355 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: her first Olympic Games and she is the fastest woman 356 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: ever across one hundred meters. 357 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 3: The exciting thing about being nineteen is what we learned 358 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 3: from sprint is that they can perform. These athletes over 359 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 3: shorter distances. With the advancement that we've seen in health 360 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 3: and sports medicine, yes they can be at the top 361 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 3: of their game for the better part of a decade, 362 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 3: if not longer. So it's so exciting to see what 363 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 3: she will become and for Australians. 364 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 2: Let's be honest. 365 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 3: If we have an Aussie in one hundred meter final, 366 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 3: Hello Rowan Brown, we celebrate like we won the gold. 367 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Yes, as we should, as we should, 368 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 1: as we damn well should. 369 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 3: So while the field is so hyper competitive, of particularly 370 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 3: across America and Jamaica, the thought of having a card 371 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 3: to even play in the deck, that we might be 372 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,360 Speaker 3: able to be part of it all is so exciting. 373 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 3: And again to do it with someone so young, so likable, 374 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 3: so promising. She will be the face of track and 375 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 3: field in this game. 376 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: And when we say that she's the fastest Australian woman 377 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: ever over one hundred meters, her time was eleven point 378 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: one zero second. She set that in January. The one 379 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 1: hundred meters is not her pet event, so she may 380 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: run that in Tokyo. 381 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 3: Sorry, sorry, oh no, I'm the greatest Australian of all times. 382 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 2: It's just not my you know, I had to pick 383 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 2: a favorite mine. 384 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 1: I've accidentally run the fastest time in history. 385 00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:59,679 Speaker 2: So as a spell tory. 386 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 1: So if she she may not even run the one 387 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 1: hundred meters in Paris, she may not. She's qualified for 388 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 1: the four by one hundred meter relay team. I don't 389 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 1: think she has automatic qualification for the one hundred meters 390 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: solo event. She could still run in it, but she 391 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: will be running in the two hundred meters, which she 392 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: considers her specialty. 393 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 3: I love the two hundred I know, I love the 394 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 3: dramatic band the bend and they. 395 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: Come round and you're like, now, who's it. 396 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 2: Out? 397 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 1: Yes, I think Tory Lewis. She's an absolute superstar. She's 398 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: so lovely. She's really funny as well. I know that 399 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 1: that's not what racing's about, but my god, it helps 400 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: as a human and I just think that she's one 401 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: to watch. 402 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 3: I'd like to issue an apology to our third athlete 403 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 3: for the fact that she is third in the list 404 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 3: that we are talking about, because Nina Kennedy could not 405 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 3: have been more dominant in pole vault and the way 406 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,640 Speaker 3: that she has been going at the moment, I've got 407 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 3: I'm thinking gold, I'm thinking I'm gonna call it. I'm 408 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 3: gonna well, you're going gold already is she wears Australian. Sure, okay, 409 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 3: am I on the bandwagon absolutely, But the fact that 410 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,199 Speaker 3: she just won gold at the Diamond League. In the 411 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 3: poll bot, but she is consistent with a Capital C 412 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 3: Comwealth Games twenty twenty two gold yes, in Birmingham so 413 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 3: she knows, and Diamond League in twenty twenty two gold again. 414 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 2: Yes. 415 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: She also shared the gold at the World Championships, which 416 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: I remember you would you. 417 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 3: Say you shared it if you won gold? We absolutely 418 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,959 Speaker 3: would not preface just a gold medalist. 419 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 1: I remember you and I talking on this podcast about that, 420 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 1: being like would we do that? And we're like, nah, 421 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: we would never share. 422 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 2: Oh god, share if it meant that I was a 423 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 2: gold medalist. 424 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, if we could get the gold, but we would 425 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: be like, we'd prefer to if we could win, outright, 426 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: we would. 427 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 2: I mean obviously I would share with you. 428 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, but I want to stand atop the podium 429 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 3: and just hear the Australian anthem hypothetic case. 430 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: But that all again never happens. It's never happened for us. 431 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 1: But it takes nothing away from Nina because you are right. 432 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: Tell me.

And she mentions Katie Moon, who also 461 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 3: sounds like a rock star.

She stands at six foot one, 503 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: you may remember her, so. 504 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 2: She just steps over. 505 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: This is the thing because she jumps higher than that. 506 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 1: Her peb I think is two two, so six foot 507 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: one is like one hundred and eighty six animeters. So 508 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: it is quite a sight to see her as she does. 509 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 2: Approach the bar. 510 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 3: Now, odds are you would have watched this final, So like, 511 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 3: if you're trying to think back and go, what did 512 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 3: she is the one that does the adorable clap yes 513 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 3: and big brimming smile. She and writes in a journal 514 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 3: after every jump. 515 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 2: That's what it is. 516 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: It's the journal for me that really stood out. And 517 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 1: I think that that is I mean, I really don't 518 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: think it's like one that just get her technique, right, 519 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? It's not technique, Mattres. 520 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 1: I think it's a way for her to get everything 521 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: out of her head, to write down all that. I 522 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: think she does see it more as a gratitude journal. 523 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: She is a woman of faith. She takes it very 524 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: very seriously, and she just does have this overwhelming sense 525 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: of gratefulness and gratitude that she can even compete at 526 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 1: these events and at this high level. And you can 527 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: see that on her face. She's almost trying to reach 528 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: that a moment of serenity before she does her run up, 529 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 1: you know. And then obviously it's working for her because 530 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: her most recent Olympics the silver medalists, the reigning silver medalists. 531 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 3: And she hasn't taken a step backwards in that time. 532 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,439 Speaker 3: At every international meet that she has been among the medals, 533 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 3: and we are just so excited to see what she 534 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 3: can do. But also, I mean, I'm just gonna say, 535 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 3: you're not meant to. But the women's high jump are 536 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 3: they all supermodels? 537 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: I remember watching the women's high jump being like, we 538 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: are not the same. There was an athlete I think 539 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 1: she may have been from Ukraine. In the end, she 540 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 1: was the hottest thing I've ever seen. I can't They're 541 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: so beautiful and they're just still so good at what 542 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 1: they do. And I was like, okay, okay, I give up. 543 00:24:59,160 --> 00:24:59,719 Speaker 1: I give up. 544 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 3: I was in a meeting surrounded by blokes and I've 545 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 3: just looked and gone, oh my god, she's so attractive. 546 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 2: And they're like, we didn't say it. We didn't say it, 547 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 2: no one said it. We're not addressing it on me 548 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 2: and we're not allowed to. And I was like, I 549 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,479 Speaker 2: just can't. Can we just keep a camera locked off 550 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 2: on her? What does she do? What? And more? The 551 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 2: point was unbelievable. Again, it's not what it's about, but 552 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 2: you do look and go. 553 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 3: You know what, if Martians are coming down and they're 554 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 3: going to blow up the planet, Holo grave to start 555 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 3: and we nominate. 556 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 2: Her astribute to start the next round. We need to 557 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 2: find a name. We'll do our homework for the advice 558 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 2: being like good, God was so good. 559 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: I think she may have won, Like she was so 560 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 1: freaking good. 561 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 2: But if there's ever a two good sports chat, that's 562 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 2: probably we can do it all. 563 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: Dear Listena, we can do it all. Fun fact on Nicola, 564 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 1: just before we go to our final athlete that we 565 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,479 Speaker 1: are spotlighting in this episode, she's currently trying to learn 566 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 1: how to do a backflip. And remember I need to again, like, 567 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: let's just remind ourselves six foot one and she's trying 568 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 1: to do a backflip and she's nearly freaking got it. 569 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,679 Speaker 1: But gal, gal, be careful. The Olympics are days away. 570 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 1: Let's pause the backflip training. 571 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 3: I'm encouraged by the fact that she's surrounded by soft 572 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 3: padding and soft landing, so I don't think she'd be 573 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 3: practicing on a hard surface. But they in Bubble Rap 574 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 3: Bubble you are a medalist in track and field and 575 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 3: a metal chance on behalf of Australia. 576 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 1: Yes, please do less. 577 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 3: Speaking of people who need to do less in general life, 578 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 3: Rowan Browning, Rowan Browning, you high achieving, academic, athletic, all 579 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 3: of the things. And I remember when we were doing 580 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,719 Speaker 3: our homework on him for Tokyo, and you'll remember him 581 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 3: as the flying mullet that made the one hundred meter 582 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 3: final in Tokyo, which is such a massive story that 583 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 3: Australia had someone competing at the highest level in the 584 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 3: blue room band event in the men's hundred meters. 585 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: He also happens to star in Sprint Yeah for half a. 586 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 2: Second half favorite docco that we refuse to shut up about. 587 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 3: But he's someone who went to high school in an 588 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 3: academic scholarship. 589 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: Oh not a sporting him. He's an athlete personified. He's 590 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 1: one of those people that yeah he's a lawyer, absolutely, he. 591 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 2: Speaks French like it's just it's a bit of a 592 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 2: joke at his point. 593 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 1: And he's a name that I think that most of 594 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 1: our listeners would remember because of the flying mullet antics 595 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: and achievements, but he's had a little bit of a 596 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: tough time most recently. So we are choosing to highlight 597 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 1: him in this episode, but I'm very intrigued to see 598 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: what he will actually be able to do because his 599 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: body is letting him down a little bit. He's got, 600 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 1: in his own words, a bit of chronic knee issues happening. 601 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:44,679 Speaker 2: We don't like chronic, we. 602 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: Don't like the we don't like the term chronic, and 603 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 1: that really has affected his leading to Paris. He's still 604 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 1: made the team. He's going to his second Olympics. He's 605 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: been posting on social media being like, you know, it 606 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: really is true. You can't peak too early with these things, 607 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: so as. 608 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 3: If to be like, I am just easing my way 609 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 3: in there, hoping that we peak a little bit earlier. 610 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 3: And his best ever time is nine point ninety six, 611 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 3: but that was wind assisted in Wollongong, and in the 612 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 3: Games he ran ten point zero one. 613 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: Yes, what you need to know about him and why 614 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:20,160 Speaker 1: he is still a genuine medal chance is that over 615 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: the course of athletics history here in Australia, Rowan Browning 616 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: has posted three of the fastest six times for the 617 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: men's hundred meters ever, and the other man who holds 618 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,880 Speaker 1: the other three of those six is Patrick Johnson, who 619 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: was one of our brightest stars in this event. It 620 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: was Patrick Johnson and Matt Shervington. That's who we grew 621 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: up watching. But Rowan Browning is in that club. He's 622 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: that good. 623 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 2: I mean, if we're gonna be honest, is he a 624 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 2: medal chance? Probably not? 625 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 3: Probably not unless there's a Stephen Bradbury type scenario, even 626 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 3: though there's no bend in the one hundred meters. Yes, 627 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 3: but is he an athlete that you need to know 628 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 3: and remember leading into these games purely bix of the 629 00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 3: attention that is on one hundred meters? 630 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 2: Yes? Absolutely Yeah. 631 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: Another fun fact on him that I really enjoy is 632 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: that of the Tokyo Olympics where he made that final, 633 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: he was only one of four men to hit a 634 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: max velocity of twelve meters per second. Twelve meters per second. 635 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: When I say that he's traveled fifty meters like what, 636 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: He's always small. 637 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 2: He's only time when you watch someone at that pace, 638 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 2: do they blur? I think they must blur. 639 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: His arms and legs do They're going so far. 640 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 3: And I've never been to Olympics and it's a dream 641 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 3: of mine because I just want to in real time. 642 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 3: It's like the first time you go to the tennis 643 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 3: and you see the size of the court and the 644 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 3: pace of the ball and you just go, this is white, 645 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 3: like this is actually all The criticism is wild. 646 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: The cricket when you see the ball and you're like, 647 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, have you let go of it? Where 648 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 1: is it? 649 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 2: How can they see that? 650 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 3: I think you still don't understand cricket until you've actually 651 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 3: stood at the wicket and let them bowl near you 652 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 3: at the pace that they do, and the fact they 653 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 3: don't scream, especially with how hard that ball is when 654 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 3: there's a bouncer and then you go again, it's just wild. 655 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 3: But I think that's where I would love, love, love 656 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 3: to watch a one hundred meter final and watch the 657 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 3: fastest people in the world and actually get a gauge 658 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 3: for what they're able to do, because I just think 659 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 3: it's one of those things that television doesn't do justice. 660 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: Again, you're thinking to know how fast it is, hit 661 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 1: that little fast forward ten second button on your whatever 662 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: streaming site, you're watching that the Races. 663 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 3: Away coming La Brisbane.

Keep an eye out for her. It's another thrower. 671 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: Keep an eye out for him. He's incredible. He's a 672 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: veteran of this time. I got vetoed because I'm not 673 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 1: allowed to talk about Peter Ball anymore. 674 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 2: Yes, also my mild, my mild. 675 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 3: Obsession with Peter Bowl and his story arc and how 676 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 3: much it's going to be a film, and of course 677 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 3: the fact that it was the most watched event that 678 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 3: came out of Tokyo. 679 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 1: We will talk about Peter Bowl when you. 680 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 2: Can go back and listen to our episode.

Yes, yes, and I think that is fair. I 686 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: think that is fair. Also quick mention to Curtis Marshall, who, yeah, 687 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: another pole vaulter who I think could potentially be a 688 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: metal chance. 689 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 2: And also Stark. 690 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: Oh my god, Brandon Stuck. We actually have a very 691 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: strong team. I'm excited we're calling it. Hey, yelmy, sorry 692 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: I'm dancing still. 693 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 3: I don't know why you're dancing. It threw me off, 694 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 3: but I know why you're dancing because it's a fun fact. 695 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 3: Time fact. This is not so much a fun fact 696 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 3: as much as it's like cost of living was, because 697 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 3: at the moment there's a lot going on in the 698 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 3: world that seems very expensive. 699 00:31:58,080 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 2: One Indian wedding, per se. 700 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 3: But we also had Wimbledon over the weekend and it 701 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 3: is the most aristocratic. Oh, it has to be said, 702 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 3: of all the sporting events in the world that I 703 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 3: can think of, I'm sure there's a polo eventually, the. 704 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: Most royal of the royal events. 705 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 2: Oh. And Kate did attend the men's final. 706 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: Scan trophy with the pineapple on it. 707 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 3: Oh, don't forget about the favor of the pineapple on 708 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 3: the trophy. And we are talking about Carlos Alcarez who 709 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 3: won Wimbledon. But that is none of that is our 710 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 3: fun fact fact. The fun fact is at the cheapest 711 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 3: entry level ticket, how much do you think it cost 712 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 3: to go to the Wimbledon Final? And reminder, it is 713 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 3: a very small stadium. Yes, and when you think about 714 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 3: the premium and when you think about the Wimbledon Final, 715 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 3: a lot of it is going to be invitational zen 716 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 3: days there, you know, Ralph Lauren True, so there's going 717 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 3: to be very little seating available to the public. 718 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 1: The only thing I can compare it to is when 719 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: you and I were legitimately considering selling a kidney on 720 00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 1: the black market so we could get to that Fidal 721 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: Australian Open Flam I don't know years ago, and I 722 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 1: think that tickets for that were going for about fifteen 723 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 1: hundred two grand a ticket at that time. So if 724 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: we put inflation, if I'm doing maths in my head, 725 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: I would say entry level three grand. 726 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 2: You mentioned fifteen hundred the number one and five do 727 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 2: feature Gods do the numbers? Zeros ten five hundred dollars 728 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 2: was the cheapest GA ticket that you could get to wim. 729 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 3: Wooden't what for only three sets? I mean you'd be upset. 730 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 3: You'd be like Novak, fight buddy, fight fight. We need 731 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 3: to break this down by the minute. For the cost 732 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 3: ten and a half thousand dollars, what so cost of 733 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 3: living clearly, and then imagine how much it cost to 734 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 3: get a. 735 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 1: Pims Oh my god, the strawberries and great. 736 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 2: Charging for the strawbs and cream. 737 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 3: You know how at the moment they keep doing breakdowns 738 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 3: of how much a meat pie and chips cost you 739 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 3: at Marvel as opposed to the MCG. I need to 740 00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,479 Speaker 3: know how much once you've shelled out ten thousand large 741 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 3: are you paying for drinks and snacks of the fruit variety? 742 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: Yeah?
