  Speaker 1: Andrew all listeners with us for sport. Good morning greetings.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: How are we doing these forty nine er sailors in Mussam?
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Imus say, the probably the best of the performers
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: of the New Zealand team overnight, I think winning a race.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: They're opening race setting a standard, picked up a third
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: and then they've had an eighth as well. But you
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: can drop your worst performance, so they can drop the
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: eighth for now depending on how they go with the
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: rest that are regatta. So that's an excellent effort from
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: McKenzie and McCarty, so well done to them. Not so
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: good for the forty nine er effects Joe la and
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Molly Meach last by comparison, so that's a bit of
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: a contrast anyway.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: But what about early days Lewis Claibert. Is he going
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to do it this morning.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Cheap as I hope. So it's been a long wait
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: for a middle on a pool for New Zealand nineteen
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: ninety six, Danion Loader. I was at university at the time.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: We watched it in the university hostel up the road
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: at Iraq Hall and it was quite something. But it
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: seems a long time ago, twenty.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Eight years crazy, maybe he.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Can, but he struggled to some degree in the heat,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I did think, And he finished fourth, and it's going
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: to be a struggle to take out Leon Marshaun with
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: that French crowd behind him, So there's one medal, I
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: would have thought. So, yeah, he's got a battle on
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: his hands.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the new Michael Phelps they're calling him, aren't
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: they that? Yeah?
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: He and honestly he was really impressive. Yeah, Yeah, terrific
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: medley swimmer and just yeah, I just think you've almost Yeah,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: you just gain some meters or some sort of slipperiness
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: when you get in the pool with that sort of crowd, Yeah,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: behind you.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: The water quality in the river sense, Oh.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: It's ongoing, right is it? I mean I think should
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: they have moved this by now? I mean it's so
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: depend on if they get rain, then they get problems.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: So they're kind of waiting on the weathers to see it.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: And it's disruptive for the triathletes and the marathon swimmers
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: for that matter. So yeah, they couldn't They couldn't train
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: today because of the rain and therefore washes it through
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: and it stirs it all up, et cetera. So one day,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: the quality is okay. Next it's not. It just seems
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: they had a lot there. It's not a particularly good
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: element to the Games. I mean there's been some great
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: elements so far, but that's that's a bit of.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: A sound across. Yeah, the medal tally, Australia we don't
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: feature too prominently on that.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Making up the numbers at the moment. But it's all
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: about the medals, right.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Well, it is Australia is out in front at the moment.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Apparently they are.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: They've had some six medals for all reckoning.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, four golds, two silvers. I've got South Korea in there, China,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Japan up there, the US up there too.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, here are we the usual suspect. Yeah, maybe it's
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: maybe it's gonna be a little clear of it, I hope,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: so fingers crossed.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it will be awesome. So any medal, whether it's bronze,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: it would be our first swimming medal since nineteen ninety six.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah, we're a country surrounded by water, shouldn't
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: we'd be good at something.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Well that's what the silists are doing.
