  Speaker 1: The Coast Breakfast Bonus Podcast with Tony Jason Sam thanks
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: for listening.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: To our Breakfast Bonus podcast about the Olympics and when
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: you look at the star power of the United States,
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: even their flag bearers, you've got Lebron James and Cocoa Golf.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Sorry, who've never heard of those.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Two exactly, Although you know, we've got a couple of
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: powerhouses as well, Aaron Gate the cyclist and Joeyla the
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: sailor as well. So that's all good. But apparently when
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: it comes to the Olympics, you know how this year
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: there's a couple of new events like break dancing is
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: now an Olympic event. I love that.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: I do too. In sport climbing, that'll be fun, and
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: we've got a sport climber the air.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Fun.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But when you pick of the years over the
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Olympics and when they started out with nude wrestling, only
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: only guys could do this. It was nude wrestling.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Wrestling is sports.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: That was the thing way back of the Olympics. When
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: they first started, the athletes didn't wear clothes. Why, I
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: It was just dude, at least we're a cloth over
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: the year.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: I agree, or a leaf chuckle the leaf.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: I've never seen that in my life. I don't know
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: where it came from, but.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: These are the ones there used to be in there, right,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: so we beckon war. So tug of war used to
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: be an event at the Olympics. The tug of war.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: I actually rate that. I wonder why they got rid
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: of tone.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: No, it was at five games between nineteen hundred and
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: nineteen twenty. So if neither of the team pulled the
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: other side over the line, you had five minutes to do. This,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: by the way, tactually quite good.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Because you think of it. You'd have to assemble, you'd
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: have to have a limit on the amount of people,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: and then you'd just get the strongest, heaviest people, wouldn't you.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: You'd have to you'd stack your team.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: I'd like to watch that. But it would actually be
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: a little bit you know, like there'd be strategy of
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: let the rope go just a little bit.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, they're trying to gravity Againah, you gotta be careful
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: with that because that can make foreign you anyway. So apparently,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: if after five minutes no one managed to drag the
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: other team across, it was whoever performed best. They're judges
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: to see who's performing best.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Like when by technical wow decision like boxing.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Club swinging was a big event at the at
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: the Olympics for a while until nineteen thirty two. Participants
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: would perform a routine by swinging clubs like bowling balls
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: on the end of the clubs. So I guess it's
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: like do what like just swing them more else.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Like like you know, the basically gymnastics.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Rhythmic gymastics with a ribbon at the time of the
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: clubird that's what they did.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: That's basically hammer throw without throwing it.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: It's a year just dancing around holding onto a year
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: running deer. So in the nearly nineteen hundreds, what they
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: do is they'd shoot at a deer shaped target which
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: would move or run across the thing, and you had
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: to stand way back at about a distance of seventy
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: five feet. It was a moving target to get there.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Do you know what? I actually quite like that because
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: we've still got shooting in the Olympics, but it's a
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: static target.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Yes, clay shooting as well. Yeah right, it's kind of
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: like the AMP show, you got it.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Speaking of guns, though, dueling pistols used to be a
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: game at the Olympics, and you used to stand there
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: and have a jewel with someone fire like, what's your fire?
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Wax bullets at each other, I know, right, and you
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: have to dres a long coats when they're allowed to
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: eat closed. Finally, long coat, pull your gun out, shoots
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: some one with the wax bullet. Wow, I know. Fencing
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: with sticks before they had the sorts.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Sticks upgraded to actually killing object.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: That's it was called singlestick. Apparently.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: I love that fencing still a thing because that is
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: very medieval, isn't it. It's cool think of the jousting
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: kind of era.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, same in the nights in the end, Yeah, I agree.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Solo synchronized swimming. You might remember this. This was right
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: up to the nineties. Yes, there is only one person. Yeah,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: they had the speakers under the water.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: You're not synchronizing with anyone.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: That was literally called solo synronized swimming.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Called it. It's not swimming. They should just call it
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: underwater dancing water dancing water dance.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go, exactly, and all this one. Who
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I love this, I reckon I should bring this back.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: They came this way back in nineteen oh four. Plunge
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: for distance, So what you have to do? They saw
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: competitors dive into a pool and then try not to
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: move for a minute.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: What that is the most ridiculous dive into the water.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: So keep yourself down and try and still.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: As you can.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: How do you do that?
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Or they wait till they float to the surface. Apparently
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: it's an amazing spectator event.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Can I just say synchronized swimming is a great spectator reveewe.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: I love it. And they do it to such funky music.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Now it's just like a whole other level of dance
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: because they are powerful those but you look at the
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: movies are snappy, and they added all involves coming in
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: and out of the pool and they do big acrobat.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: And some big formation they will create together. But I'll
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: tell you what that plunge for this and bring that
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: back dive in stay there.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Jace, I reckon, I reckon. We've found your sport to
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: injure it.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Like a stone.
