87
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: with Ozzie, surfer Bronte McCaulay and her family after the

88
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,960

89
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,360

91
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,160

00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 2: of a report conducted by the Australian Human Rights Commission.

93
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: Some people may have seen the infamous Netflix doco athlete A,

94
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: which shed light on the story of the USA gymnastics

95
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: doctor Larynasar, who sexually assaulted multiple female gymnasts. Following the

96
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: release of this doco. Gymnastics Australia requested an independent review

97
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: of culture and practice at all levels of the sport

98
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: to be undertaken by the Australian Human Rights Commission. The

99
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: Commission interviewed both past and present athletes and received one

100
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty eight written submissions and found that a

101
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 1: win at all costs culture created unacceptable risks for the

102
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: safety and well being of often very young gymnasts. The

103
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: abuse and harm experienced by members of the gymnastics community

104
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: in Australia over many decades, it's significant and has had

105
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: deeply felt and long lasting impacts. The Australian Human Rights

106
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: Commission said.

107
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: Australia responded to the report in the statement that said,

108
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 2: Gymnastics Australia unreservedly apologizes to all athletes and family members

109
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 2: who have experienced any form of abuse participating in the sport.

110
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 2: We also thank the athletes and any community members who

111
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: engaged in the review process and acknowledge their bravery in

112
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 2: doing so. Following the review, there have been a total

113
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 2: of twelve recommendations outlined. Some of those including the education

114
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 2: and skills development for coaches, encouraging and promoting athlete empowerment

115
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 2: support and skills based training for all athletes to address

116
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 2: and prevent eating disorders and more effective anonymous reporting and investigation.

117
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: Now it's time for the presser.

118

Speaker 1: so you congrats on the win in Mexico. Can you

124
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: take us back to how you first started playing beach volleyball?

125
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 3: Thanks guys, thanks for having me as well. So I

126
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 3: first started playing volleyball when I was six Back in Peru,

127
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 3: where I'm originally from. My sister used to play for

128
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 3: the national team. So just being that little sister, I

129
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 3: was following her steps and I used to play all

130
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 3: sorts of different sports. But I think just because she

131
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 3: played and I picked it up really young, I was,

132
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 3: I guess more natural at it. So I continued to

133
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 3: play all through my junior years and then when I

134
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 3: moved to Australia, when I was eleven, my brother, who

135
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 3: was already in Australia, said, oh, let's go and play

136
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,239
Speaker 3: a beach volleyball tournament with my mates. So we played

137
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 3: at Forest Sight Social Beach Volleyball tournament at Mainly and

138
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 3: that's really when I fell in love with the sport

139
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 3: of beach volleyball and I continue to do both and

140
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 3: beach up until I was sixteen. But I kind of

141
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 3: knew when I was thirteen that I wanted to do

142
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 3: beach volleybao as a career. And then yeah, when I

143
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 3: was sixteen, I finished playing in daw and I focused

144
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 3: just on beach and yeah, the rest is history.

145
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: I guess.

146
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: Awesome. So you've been in a team with Telequid Clancy

147
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: since the end of twenty seventeen. How did you two

148
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 2: first get paired together and what is the best part

149
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: you think about your partnership.

150
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 3: So De and I actually played a Junior World Championships

151
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 3: event back in twenty twelve where we got bronze, and

152
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 3: straight away that event we felt we had a really

153
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 3: natural connection. We had really good chemistry on court and

154
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 3: things were really easy. But then we took separate ways.

155
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 3: She went on then to play with Lou and then

156
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 3: I played with Nikki and we both went to Rio

157
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 3: with different partnerships, and then late Captain seventeen, the opportunity

158
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 3: came for us to team up again and we pretty

159
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 3: much hit it off straight away. We won our first

160
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 3: three international events that we played together, and we're like, Okay,

161
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 3: there's something on here. Yeah, And obviously due to that

162
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 3: really good connection in that chemistry we had, we we

163
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 3: knew we had something special, and that's really not easy

164
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 3: to have in a partnership, Like it's you don't just

165
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 3: team up with anyone and straight away you hit it

166
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 3: off or you have real strong trust in each other.

167
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 3: So we knew that we had something and yeah, we

168
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 3: were just really excited to continue that and focus on

169
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 3: the next LIPS, which was Tokyo. But I think that

170
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 3: that's one of our biggest strength as our team. We

171
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 3: have a lot of each other, a lot of trust

172
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 3: in each other. Sorry, Yeah, and it's just so easy

173
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 3: on court, like we just we feel each other so well,

174
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 3: and yeah, it makes it so much easier.

175
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: You're about a week into your quarantine stint back on

176
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: Home soil. What was the hub set up like over

177
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: in Cancuon and how did it feel getting some international

178
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: competition after the impacts of COVID in twenty twenty.

179
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it was actually a really good effort that

180
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 3: the Mexican Federation and everyone involved it for us. So

181
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 3: they hired out a resort and they kind of separated

182
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 3: as us from the public. So we had a pool

183
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 3: and we had three restaurants and we to the beach.

184
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 2: Great.

185
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was actually a little paradise. We had actually

186
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 3: feel like a section of the beach and we had

187
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 3: security all the way around the bubble, so just to

188
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 3: make sure public didn't enter our area. And yeah, obviously

189
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 3: us couldn't leave that bubble, but obviously, like it wasn't

190
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 3: all glamorous, Like let's be honest, it's always hat just

191
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 3: not being able to leave one place like you, I

192
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 3: guess by the end of the second week, you felt

193
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 3: a little bit claustaphobic and you couldn't get out. So

194
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 3: sometimes you know, on tour, like a normal tourment, you

195
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 3: can go out for dinner, and you can go and

196
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 3: hang out with this person and you can like you

197
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 3: can get away a little bit. So it did feel

198
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 3: at times that you were stuck and you get to

199
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 3: you see like, even though it was beautiful, you did

200
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 3: get to see the same pool and the same tree

201
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 3: and the same for the same people for so long.

202
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 3: So that was a little bit challenging for everyone because

203
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 3: you just got talking to the athletes and like, oh yeah,

204
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 3: it's heavy, blah blah blah. But despite that, we got

205
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 3: super lucky that we did get put in such a

206
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 3: beautiful spot. I mean the ocean, yeah, the beach was beautiful.

207
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 3: The weather was just your hot human it was. It

208
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 3: was stunning, and obviously not being able to compete and

209
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 3: go anyway for a year and a half for us

210
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,719
Speaker 3: was just super grateful because they actually did get the

211
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 3: chance to compete like we were. Obviously for us were

212
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 3: we are lucky to be in Australia and how things

213
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 3: are here, But at the same time we did we

214
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 3: weren't able to compete at all, whereas they kind of

215
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 3: did around Europe and the US. So for us to

216
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 3: compete it was just awesome. We did take us the

217
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 3: first two events to kind of get out, you know,

218
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 3: get things going to beat It wasn't like a straightaway thing,

219
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 3: but yeah, it was just super exciting that we got

220
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 3: to win the last one.

221
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, how does the winning can kun contribute to your

222
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 2: Olympic qualification.

223
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 3: So for bitch volleyball, you have to have twelve events

224
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 3: to qualify two Olympics automatically, so if you're in the

225
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 3: top fifteen, you need at least twelve events and then

226
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 3: your belt, and we had ten only so for us

227
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 3: going there and playing those three events, it made us

228
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 3: officially quali five, so we officially qualified, so we completed

229
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 3: at top Yeah, so that was also I thank you

230
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 3: and like a big relief too, because we, yeah, we

231
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 3: obviously like it's getting closer and we need a twelve

232
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 3: events and they didn't make any changes that. Okay, now

233
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 3: you only eight events or ten events, which is kind

234
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 3: of what we thought they would do, but now they

235
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 3: just kept it to twelve. So we're like, okay, we

236
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 3: actually have to go, like we have to go and

237
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 3: complete at twelve. So that was that was a good

238
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 3: first step. And then having won the last event, it

239
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 3: made us go through to ranked fifth, which was our

240
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 3: goal being the top five leading to the Olympics. So yeah,

241
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 3: we got back. So it was awesome, like we kind

242
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 3: of picked our boxes and got some competition, which we

243
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 3: wanted it, and.

244
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, how good One of the most iconic moments in

245
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: Australian sporting history was Nat Cook and Kerry Potters winning

246
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: golden on Bondai Beach at the Sydney two thousand Olympics.

247
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: And that was also the last time that Australia has

248
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 1: medaled in beach volleyball. What would it mean to you

249
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: guys if you got the chance to medal for Australia

250
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: for the first time in twenty one years.

251
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 3: Oh, it'll honestly just be the icing on the k Like,

252
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 3: it'll be amazing. We after World Champs that was nineteen

253
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 3: when we won bronze, it was like Australia's first medal

254
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,719
Speaker 3: after sixteen years.

255
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: Wow.

256
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,160

00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 3: I mean it's such a big sport overseas and it's

261
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,920
