00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: A bit of mine time action.

33
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 2: So good. How good? Let's take a.

34
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: Look around the grounds in ultra Marathon. Australian ultra marathon

35
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: runner Donna Urqhart set off from Union Glacier in Antarctica

36
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: last month with the aim of running thirteen hundred kilometers

37
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: on the southernmost continent.

38
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: She was looking to set.

39
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: A new world record for the longest polar run ever completed.

40
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: Starting on December fifteenth, Donna ran fifty to sixty kilometers

41
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: a day in temperatures as low as negative twenty degrees celsius,

42
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: facing snowstorms and winds reaching sixty to eighty kilometers per hour.

43
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 4: Could you imagine the wind chill involved in that?

44
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: It's out of control.

45
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: We chatted to Donna on the RAP probably a month

46
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: or so before she set off on her adventure and

47
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: chatted about the training she was doing so a lot

48
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: of time she'd set herself up in a shipping container

49
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: that would like try.

50
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 4: And blasting ice at herself. Pretty much pretty.

51
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: Much that well said, thank you so much. Her twenty

52
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: six day journey tested not only her physical endurance but

53
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: also her mental strength. She said, after the epic feet

54
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: We've had days where it's been minus twenty. We haven't

55
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: been able to see in front of us where our

56
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: feet are actually landing. The wind has been incredibly strong,

57
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 1: up to thirty knots or sixty k's an hour, which

58
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: was quite scary. I wasn't expecting mentally to be so

59
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 1: emotional throughout this experience. There has been, particularly in the

60
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: first week, a lot of tears. I can imagine horror

61
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: and God, sh'd been quite an isolating space, wouldn't it

62
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: like you think about people running a marathon. My producer

63
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: Bailey round the New York Marathon as we chatted about

64
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: at the end of the year, and there was a

65
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 1: lot of social media content about marathons and New York

66
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: marathons about millions of people come to the streets to

67
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: watch you and cheer you on.

68
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: Donna didn't have any of that, and.

69
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 3: All you would hear is the wind in your ears?

70
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 3: And I wouldn't know if she.

71
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 4: Had a.

72
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 3: Lip chapstick sponsor could you imagine?

73
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 2: Oh ouch?

74
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: Well, she was very covered up, like she had like

75
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: a noseguary, like everything was very.

76
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 4: Covered absolutely, where is the dogg o? Just backround?

77
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: It was just a lot you could hear? Could you hear?

78
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: How delayed as Andi's brain train of thoor was just

79
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: the there's like some weird like someone's cutting hedges or something,

80
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: and then there's crazy dogs next door.

81
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 2: Wow, it's all happening today. Anyway.

82
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: Back to Donna, her record breaking run, accompanied by her

83
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: husband Reese and a dedicated support team, is not just

84
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: about setting records. It's a symbol of pushing boundaries and

85
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: inspiring the next generation.

86
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: She said.

87
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: My message is we are capable of so much, particularly

88
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: in sport, so I think we need to go out

89
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: and give things a go because we will surprise ourselves.

90
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: I want to share this.

91
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: Experience with women and young people, girls in particular, to

92
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: show them what is physically possible when we harness the

93
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: power of the body and mind. I love that the

94
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: achievement has been submitted to Guinness World Records and is

95
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: awaiting official verification. But the most important thing to Donna

96
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: is raising awareness and funds to support females to stay active,

97
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: and she hopes.

98
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 2: Her achievement will empower others to do the same.

99
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 4: And she's also raising money. So I think we've shared

100
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 4: the link. If you want to.

101
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: Tribute, it was on our Instagram and I'll put that

102
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:46,719

Speaker 3: director yesterday.

106
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 4: What do you mean I was waiting for this to

107
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 4: see my pause.

108
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 3: Yes, so I believe the farm is effectively a pretty

109
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 3: cool word for their development group. You know they're there,

110

Speaker 3: history making former minor league manager in charge of the

118
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 3: team's player development. As the Marlins farm director, Bakovec faces

119
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 3: a monumental task, but o' seeing more than one hundred

120

125
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 2: How many times have people called them the Tampons?

126
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 4: A lot of times? I nearly called them them.

130
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,880

131
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 4: like what we call a manatee.

132
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: It's a fish. It's a fish. The denus megalops.

134
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,839

00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:19,360

162
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: to crack on the challenging ascent of Woolanga Hill, securing

163
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: both the tour down under general classification and the stage win.

164
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: The final stage saw a tactical battle with Ruby roseman

165
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: Gannon briefly leading.

166
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 4: We saw Ruby got the win the week yeah in

167
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 4: the national chair.

168
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: The nationals and all writers having to deal with some

169
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:08,119
Speaker 1: hectic cross winds, but Gagante's strength on the climb quashed

170
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: any hopes of her rivals. Her manager Saves Naven emphasized

171
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: her dominance, saying there is only one Queen of Woolonga.

172
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 2: So good, so good.

173
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: Gagante holds the record for the quickest ascent up the climb,

174
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: and she posted a photo of herself prior to the

175
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: race in front of the sign displaying her red hot

176
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: time of eight minutes thirteen seconds for the dash up

177
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: the mountain. It's been a rough journey to this point.

178
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: She suffered a number of broken bones as a result

179
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: of crashes and recovered from about of myo pericarditis, which

180
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 1: is inflammation of both the heart muscle and the pericardium.

181
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 4: I'm glad the physio had that those words to say,

182
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 4: what I don't continue.

183
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: To fresh my anatomy for a little hot second there.

184
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 1: Then last season, her former team Movistar released her from

185
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: her contract, but she never gave up hope, and speaking

186
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: after the race, said, I only raced one race last year,

187
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: but I've been going out there every single day and

188
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 1: doing training sessions. I'm back in great form and I'm

189
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: with my old coach, Dylan Lindsay. And I went from

190
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: the very bottom of the hill. My teammates helped me.

191
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: I was out of position, but they drove me up

192
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: to near the front of the peloton. As soon as

193
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: the road went upwards, I went.

194
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 3: I switched over and watched the last I guess half

195
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 3: an hour, so I think when I turned on, that

196
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 3: was probably twenty k's to go on the stage, and yeah,

197
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 3: no one was talking about her. Her team literally dragged

198
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 3: her to the front of the peloton at the beginning

199
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 3: of the climb, and she just went. And when she accelerated,

200
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 3: I think probably about a dozen riders went with her

201
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 3: and they just slowly in ones and two just dropped

202
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 3: off the back. And she just kept that same pace

203
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 3: the whole way up the the mill. The hill I

204
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 3: was gonna say mountain, and.

205
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 2: I got confused. Whole hill.

206
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 4: It was so impressive.

207
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: And then when she got to the top of the hill.

208
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: How far was there to the finish line? Did she

209
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: have to hold it for long?

210
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 3: No, it pretty much finishes on the assent, so cool

211
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 3: flattens out a little bit, right, No is you just

212
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 3: went God, it was impressive. It blows my mind. I

213
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 3: can't even ride up my heel on my pushy.

214
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 2: Yours is quite steep.

215
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 4: It is pretty steeps.

216
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 2: You look so validated.

217
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 3: In rugby union, the British and Irish Lions eyeing a

218
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 3: three test series in New Zealand in twenty twenty seven,

219
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 3: marking a pretty historic moment for women's rugby. The announcement

220
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 3: is eagerly anticipated and expected to be confirmed during a

221
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 3: press conference in London early this week. The decision comes

222
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 3: on the heels of the Black Ferns, the reigning world champs,

223
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 3: triumphing over England in the last two Women's Rugby World

224
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 3: Cup finals, which has really developed a bit of a

225
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 3: fierce rivalry between the two powerhouses, which will definitely I

226
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 3: think set the stage for a well attended and massively

227
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 3: hype lines to us. So, if you're not aware, the

228
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 3: British and Irish Lions are a team, a men's team

229
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 3: traditionally of here we go again, oh dear, all of

230
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 3: the countries of the United Kingdom in Ireland the best

231
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 3: of the best, I guess. And every four years the

232
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,239
Speaker 3: men's team usually travels all travels at the Southern Hemisphere

233
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 3: and plays by the South Africa, Australia or New Zealands.

234
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: And do they alternate between, so it's like every twelve

235
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: years it ends up back in Australia.

236
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 3: Yes, so we've got ours next year I think soon. Yeah,

237
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 3: their last one was South Africa, so this one will

238
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 3: be the first time the women get together, and it

239
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 3: obviously will be predominantly made up of English women because

240
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 3: they are quite dominant, which will as it will lend

241
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 3: itself to that rivalry that has really developed between those

242
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 3: two countries. Chief Executive Ben Cavali expressed his enthusiasm, stating

243
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 3: it is extremely positive that a British and Irish Lines

244
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 3: at women's tour is possible in the future and the

245
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 3: movie is definitely a positive step towards gender equality in

246
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 3: that space. Discussions about the women's lines team beginning twenty nineteen,

247
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 3: though it's taken us kind of four or five years

248
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 3: to get here, right, but last year's feasibility study backed

249
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 3: by Royal London delivered really positive initial findings and thirteen

250
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 3: member steering group chad by former Lines and Wales Wing.

251
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 3: You and Evans played a crucier role in advancing at

252
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 3: this historic initiative and I for one can't wait.

253
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 2: It's really cool, isn't it?

254
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: And I'm so here for different sporting bodies capitalizing on

255
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: rivalries that are being built. Like we know for the

256
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: Wallabies we've got a big rivalry with the All Blacks

257
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: and the men's and then also with England.

258
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 2: But I think what's really cool in the women's game

259
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 2: that England New Zealand.

260
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 1: Rivalry because of those World Cup results is something that's huge.

261
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 3: It'd be interesting because between now in twenty twenty seven

262
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 3: we'll have the twenty twenty five Women's World Cup in England.

263
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 2: Yeah. Huge.

264
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 3: So you're raither talking about the Black Ferns potentially coming

265
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 3: back having won three on the bounce, or maybe England

266
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 3: having one at home so or maybe Australia the Wallaroos

267
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 3: having one.

268
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 4: Go the Wallaries, go the Wallarooes. We won't talk about

269
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 4: the French haha.

270
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 2: In surfing, Sierra Kerr, that's I didn't.

271
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 4: Even put two and two together. Amazing.

272
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 2: We got some good s curs in this country, that's

273
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 2: for sure.

274
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: One the World Surf League World Junior Championships in Oceanside, California,

275
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: on the weekend. In an adrenaline pumping final, Sierraka showcased

276
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: her signature progression and flare, earning a near perfect nine

277
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: and securing the world title World Junior Title. The sixteen

278
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: year old's performance was a masterclass and left American event

279
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: wildcard Zoe Benedetto with no answers. Sierra said after the event,

280
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: that was the craziest heat. It's amazing to win. I

281
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 1: feel like I haven't been surfing that good this contest.

282
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: I went in the final just going to leave nothing

283
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: on the table. Caer isn't new to the competitive scene

284
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: Bez After semi final appearance in the twenty twenty two

285
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: World Junior Championships and a.

286
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 2: Victory at the Australia.

287
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: Oceania Pro Regional, she set her sights on the twenty

288
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: twenty four Challenger Series and the potential to qualify for

289
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five Championship two. So those that aren't

290
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: on the Championship to compete on the Challenger Series for

291
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: a chance to join or rejoin the Championship to.

292
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 3: Correct and that Challenger series starts in May in the

293
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 3: Gold Coast is actually the first event. Oh, so she's

294
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 3: got a bit of time to wait and practice and

295
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 3: get exciting.

296
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 2: Nice.

297
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: The wind does mean that Kerr has clinched a wild

298
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: card spot in BEZ as you said that twenty twenty

299
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: four series, and that means greater exposure and hugely important

300
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: access to sponsors. The type budgets in the surf industry

301
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: make the achievements even more significant.

302
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 3: I think it's really important that exposure at for all

303
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 3: surfers because it can't be a cheap travel It can't

304
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 3: be no way a cheap sport to travel around. They

305
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 3: go to some pretty exotic places that corners don't fly to.

306
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 3: I don't think so. I think the sponsorship coin is

307
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 3: really important. And she is the real deal. I mean, obviously,

308
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 3: her father, Josh Kerr, was probably one of the best

309
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 3: aerial surf back in the day. I mean he's not

310
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 3: only retired probably about five years ago that back in

311
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 3: the day young. Yeah, but she, oh, she's she win

312
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 3: a world title.

313
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 4: I reckon for sure, cool, very cool. Sure.

314
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 2: Onto the second escur of the podcast.

315
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 3: Eska the Doss has undergone her ACL surgery and she

316
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 3: posted on social media. The post included a picture showing

317
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 3: her right legs strapped up. That's funny that there weren't

318
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 3: mini details. Actually, one of my best friends is a

319
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 3: theater nurse and she works with knees all the time.

320
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 3: And Sarah was saying that after it happened, She's standing

321
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 3: in theater with all these doctors and surgeons and they

322
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 3: were all talking about sam kusknee.

323
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 4: Wow, that's pretty cool, isn't it. Something about that just

324
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 4: made me. I don't know, it was.

325
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 3: It was a pretty cool moment and they were all

326
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 3: wondering what knee it was, and of course so funny. Anyway,

327
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 3: the post included that picture showing her right leg strapped

328
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 3: up and a smiling curve giving a thumbs up to fans,

329
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 3: with the message on the road to recovery, and she's

330
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 3: also key to know if anyone's got some Netflix recommendations.

331
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 2: There were some good ones in the comments, so.

332
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, jump online.

333
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 3: I reckon shoots Sam your suggestions and I would have

334
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 3: recommended her and I meant to talk about this last

335
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 3: week over the holidays. I finally watched Under Pressure on Netflix.

336
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I haven't watched it yet.

337
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 4: It's good four episodes.

338
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 3: If you haven't watched it, she probably doesn't want to

339
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 3: watch it because she's in it.

340
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 4: Obviously fair enough.

341
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 3: It follows of the American US women's national team's journey

342
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 3: through the World Cup, and I think what I liked

343
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 3: about it is it's quite open and honest. They don't

344
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 3: shy away from sharing the negative press that the team got.

345
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 3: Yeah right, it's definitely worth the watch. Added to the list, Sam,

346
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 3: add it to your list, watch yourself in.

347
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: A bit more football news in the A Leagues, it

348
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: was a vine Time in the Grand Final rematch on Sunday.

349
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 4: I just love that day.

350
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: Yet I love so for vine Time. So she had

351
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: a bit of a calf complaints. She came back from

352
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: a hamstring at first and then had a bit of

353
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: a calf complaint, so she came back again. It was

354
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: just a bit ridiculous. So it was locked at nil.

355
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 1: All pretty pretty even battle. I would say Western United

356
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: probably dominating possession a little bit more than Sydney FC.

357
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: On comes Courtney Vine in the sixtieth minute and she's

358
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: just like she just like hits the noss like she's

359
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: very explosive, and I know I can't know if I

360
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 1: was talking to you or someone else. She's talked about

361
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: the fact that prior to her initial Matilda's selection she

362
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: needed to find a point of difference and she wanted

363
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: that speed and agility to be the thing. And she

364
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 1: has like she just is a cut above the rest

365
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: with that stuff she came on.

366
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 4: She's super rapid.

367
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 3: I think if she like she's so quick, she just

368
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 3: needs to develop that other foot a little bit more

369
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 3: like she's still a bit one footed, but my goodness,

370
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 3: she's so fast.

371
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 2: She's very fast.

372
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 3: Especially international level, she looks quick. A league level, she

373
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 3: looks rapid, rapid, Yeah.

374
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 1: And she just creates opportunities for them anyway. Great cross

375
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: from Prince Sabini, who I also love for Vine time

376
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: to put it in the back of the name.

377
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 4: It was crash.

378
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: It was a third goal of the season, securing Sydney's

379
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: second victory in six matches. FC defender Charlott McCain told

380
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: Paramount Plus after the match there were a few honest

381
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: chats at halftime saying, I'm so proud. We've been really

382
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 1: pushing to get a win recently. We've been struggling a

383
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: bit in the front third, but I'm so.

384
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 2: Proud of the effort.

385
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 1: At halftime, we thought they were showing more heart and

386
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: we said that's just not allowed in our stadium. We

387
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: came out and gave it back to them. Yeah, I

388
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: think that's been one of the house no massuse. One

389
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: of the issues for Sydney FC is the injuries have

390
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: unfortunately plagued their forwards, which makes it hard to score goals.

391
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: The victory for Sky Blue snapped Western United's three game

392
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: unbeaten street, dropping them to fifth in the standings, while

393
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: Sydney FC climbed to third, extending their seventh seven match

394
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: undefeated run.

395
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 2: Shout out as well.

396
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: Klobe Lagarazo I thought was excellent for Western United again.

397
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: You can tell that Matilda's level of skill and game

398
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: awareness from someone like Chloe Legazo. The upset of the

399
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 1: weekend during your Night Round had to be the Western

400
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: Sydney Wanderers securing a third straight win with a one

401
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: nail victory over Liberty A League leaders Melbourne City at

402
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: Combank Stadium. Poly Casper's second half strike won it for

403
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: the Wanderers, but keeper Kaylee Collins was huge between the

404
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: posts the American shot stopper produced a series of strong

405
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: saves how many s words can you get in one sentence.

406
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 4: If you're adding Caspers as well.

407
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: Throughout the ninety minutes and was arguably the best on ground.

408
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: The Wanderers now sit fourth on the ladder, just two

409
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: points behind rivals Sydney FC, while Melbourne City is still

410
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: on top of the ladder, five points clear of second

411
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: place Perth.

412
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 3: Glory exciting times in basketball. Speaking about exciting times, the

413
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 3: Sydney Flames secured a super important eighty seven to eighty

414
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 3: four victory against the Perth Links on Sunday, celebrating the

415
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 3: club's inaugural Pink Hoops clash at Judos Bank Arena. In

416
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 3: the best possible way, the game was played in front

417
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 3: of a league season record and thirty eight fans, and

418
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 3: they were treated to a show by reigning w NBL

419
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 3: MVP Kayla George.

420
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 4: She's killing it. I love her.

421
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 2: Sorry, I was too far away from the microphone checking

422
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 2: the camera. She's so good.

423
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 4: I wonder if it's just like a little echo.

424
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 3: George finished with a season high twenty eight points, ten

425
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 3: rebounds and three assists. That performance saw her name the

426
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 3: first ever Tiana Maga Gahia MVP Award winner. The Flames

427
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 3: really needed that win to stay in touch of the

428
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 3: WNBL Top four and moves them to eight and eight

429
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,359

00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 3: Key Center, isn't it? Firstly against Adelaide on Wednesday and

431
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 3: then Camper on Friday. Both tip off at six forty

432
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 3: five ADT and a pair of wins will put the

433
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 3: Flames right into the playoff mix where they were long

434
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 3: got the Flames.

435
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 2: Go to Flames.

436
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the key story in a

Speaker 1: titled twenty twenty four Predictions Sponsorship Industry Poised for further

443
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: growth and innovation. I feel like it's like, you know,

444
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: it's going to be something good that report. It's a

445
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: positive title.

446
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 2: It's positive.

447
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: The US sports sponsorship revenue could potentially surpass eight billion

448
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: US dollars in twenty twenty four, with the market expected

449
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: to add This is the part that we like to

450
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: hear about a billion US dollars in earnings from new deals.

451
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: So included in those new deals and a large reason

452
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 1: for the potential record breaking revenue is the potential for

453
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,479
Speaker 1: huge growth in women's sport, with the report projecting unprecedented

454
00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: growth in revenue for US women's sport properties. Sponsorship in

455
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: the US women's pro sports market in company encompassing the

456
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: WNBA and WSLWTA, and LPGA have surged, marked by a

457
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:15,080

458
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,760

00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 4: Year twenty five percent increase.

460
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: It's huge, and I know we've discussed this element of

461
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: it before, but I think where people need to continue

462
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 1: to look at pieces of data like this is the

463
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: men's sporting leagues competitions college, professional level. We know they

464
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 1: bring in a huge amount of revenue, but where are

465
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: the huge growth areas for men's sport. There's not this

466
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: huge amount of change. There's certain things like the Livgolf

467
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: Tour that are almost reinventing themselves. Right, men's competitions are

468
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 1: going to have to reinvent themselves in order to get

469
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: the percentage of growth that women's sport has the capacity

470
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: to do.

471
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 4: Yep, you've now that summed it up really well.

472
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 2: Thank you. That pleasure to be.

473
00:22:58,600 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 4: By my books.

474
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 3: That that growth coupled with the recent nine hundred and

475
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 3: twenty million NC DOUBLEA deal that we discussed last week

476
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 3: and the NWSL's LAMB two hundred and forty million, these

477
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 3: are all US dollar roonies media rights deal that was

478
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 3: announced last November, will absolutely result in greater visibility for

479
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 3: female teams and athletes. And again they the visibility is

480
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 3: such a key component to these discussions because once those

481
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 3: athletes become visible, then the product is there to invest in.

482
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 3: That will also have an effect on the growth of

483
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 3: NIL deals, which is a name image likeness deals, particularly

484
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 3: in women's college sports, where female athletes lead in engagement

485
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 3: and number of brand partnerships, and that further underscores the

486
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 3: ever increasing financial viability and mass appeal of women's sports sponsorship.

487
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 1: How cool We covered beds on our socials this week.

488
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 1: Slightly off topic, but still on topic. Kaitlin Clark, and

489
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: there's some really cool data coming out around the sellout

490
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: crowds that she's producing.

491
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 2: When the Hawkeyes will to different locations.

492
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: Interesting because she's got a choice of do you continue

493
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: in college or do you go early for the WNBA draft.

494
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 3: She's going to the Fever So Indiana Fever. I've got

495
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 3: number one draft pick. So she's like, am I going

496
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 3: to Indiana or am I staying for another year?

497
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's really it's a hard pick. But I

498
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: think this Nil the change in the Nil deal means

499
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: that she could potentially earn more money playing college basketball

500
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: than she can pro basketball, which is sure.

501
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 3: She will absolutely earn more money staying in college. It's interesting,

502
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 3: isn't it.

503
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 2: It's quite bizarre.

504
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 4: But the college game is killing it again. This morning.

505
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,320

00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 4: I've got to follow. LSU lost, but they were.

00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:47,600

526
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,240

Speaker 4: Yeah.

531
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,520

532
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 3: bit of googling into the she Crane's name, and it is.

533
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 3: The men's Ugandan football team are called the Cranes and

534
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 3: they're super super popular in Uganda, which is great. They

535
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 3: decide just to call all the female represent Uganda representative

536
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 3: teams Chicranes.

537
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 2: It's not good and it doesn't even make sense.

538
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 4: Just be better, be better, be better. Give them their

539
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 4: own identity.

540

Speaker 3: of bird in Uganda.

542
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,679

00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: builds buildings.

544
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,520
