They've set up 4 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 2: the Beach Volleyball Ball stadium field court pretty much at 5 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 2: the base of the Eiffel Tower. It's but it's quite extraordinary. 6 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 2: Remember when we first saw beach volleyball at the Sydney 7 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 2: Olympics on Bondi beach. Is there anything more iconic? And 8 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 2: it's made me so nostalgic about what an amazing time 9 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,480 Speaker 2: that was for our city. It was just incredible, wasn't it. 10 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 3: It was a great time. 11 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 2: It was a great time. 12 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,520 Speaker 3: We all winged about it leading up, ringed. 13 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 2: Leading up to it. I also was going through an 14 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 2: IVF attempt, and in the closing ceremony of the Olympics, 15 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 2: I remember I started to have some bleeding. 16 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:49,959 Speaker 3: I remember you came and told me about. 17 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 2: I went to the loo about ten times thinking please, no, please, no, 18 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 2: please know And that was little Liam who craan on. 19 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 2: So my blood levels were up. Everything was looking exciting 20 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 2: for the first time ever and the city felt like 21 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 2: we were in a bubble of love. Wasn't it an 22 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 2: amazing to me? 23 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 3: A great time? It was such a great time. I 24 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 3: remember broadcasting just over a Darling harbor. 25 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 4: There we in this little and I was up against 26 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 4: Roddy Sparks, the late Ronny Sparks at the time, so 27 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 4: I was a triple m he was a two day 28 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 4: and we were light next to each other in these 29 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 4: little broadcasting booths. 30 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 2: It was so exciting. I was working with Andrew Denton 31 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 2: Brickfast Show and we were on the top of the 32 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 2: bridge when Greg Norman carried the trauch underneath it. 33 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 4: It was just so technical department not be allowed up 34 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 4: on the bridge because over the limit. 35 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 2: That's what's so funny. They breathalyze you. So at five 36 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 2: in the morning, some of our technical team couldn't make 37 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 2: it up. Oh, it was so thrilling. But the beach 38 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 2: volleyball was just had we ever seen that before? It 39 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 2: seemed to win a gold medal with no shoes on 40 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 2: seemed like such a casual way to do it. But 41 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 2: didn't Kerry Pothast and Natalie Cook national heroes. 42 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 3: Yeah. 43 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 4: I Actually I was listening to Christian O'Connell's show and 44 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 4: they had a great piece Olympic moments and they were 45 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 4: just explaining one. 46 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 3: Because when you look down. It just they're just playing 47 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 3: beach volleyball, but it's looked like fun. How it comes 48 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,839 Speaker 3: down to when you are so good at one thing 49 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,559 Speaker 3: and it all hinges on that. But how she's explaining 50 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 3: how they actually won that won the game. It was 51 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 3: quite extraordinary. 52 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: We were behind in both sets by a considerable amount. 53 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: On our faces you could see that we were just 54 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: not bothered by it. It was just like, next point, 55 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: what do we do? The second to last serve was 56 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: in my hands, and I knew I could hit a 57 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: serve straight down the line. I've been practicing it for years. 58 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: I'd go through the middle between the two players and 59 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: then I'd crack one down the line on the line. 60 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: I decided to risk it. You know, we were down 61 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: by a point. The Brazilian girl that I served at 62 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: didn't move an inch. The ball landed on the line 63 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: for an ace, and Natalie turned around and screamed towards me. 64 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: We'd leveled it up. Now it was eleven points or 65 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: we were only going to twelve. So I made the serve. 66 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: It went through the middle. One of the girls took it. 67 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: She didn't make a great pass. Her partner tried to 68 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: say it and in doing so, the ball was flying 69 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: over the top of Natalie's head. It was going towards 70 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: our sideline, and I'd chased towards the line, and as 71 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: Natalie turned around to look what was going on, she 72 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: was kind of like, no, don't touch it. And as 73 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: that ball landed, every single emotion and every single feeling 74 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: that you could possibly have went through both of our bodies, 75 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: like we collapsed to the ground. I couldn't lift my 76 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: head out of the sand. I was almost too scared 77 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: to look up at the people in the crowd. 78 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 2: Oh that's what goosebumps. Goose bumps. Well, look, I think 79 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 2: a lot of us every time the Olympics come around. 80 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 2: Remember what a time that was when we had the 81 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: Sydney Olympics.
