  Speaker 1: Should we be worried about this?
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: That will do for any us? Britannia's in it and
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: it's four to two. You heard us. They're backing it.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah all right, so they've come back. They're doing a
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: little bit better. Adam Cooper's will say'd be sport here
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: in Wellington. Hey Adam, Hey Ron welcome? Yeah, thank you.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Should we be worried about this? Or was this just
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: a little blip?
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: I don't think so. I think it was two mistakes
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: from Team New Zealand. This happens in sailing. You know,
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: it's such a delicate situation when these two syndicates are
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: getting the best of the wind, lighting up at the
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: start line. I guess we saw Team New Zealand make
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: their first mistake of this whole final. They got off
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: the foils and sort of found themselves on the water. Obviously,
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: these boats go the fastest and ultimately you know, are
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: above the water sort of on the foils. And then
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: Team New Zealand somehow made a bit of a mistake,
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: got off the foils and that sort of effected them
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: from the start. They couldn't really get back into that
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: that first race. And then another mistake sort of towards
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: the start of the second race as well, So I
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: think rather than being concerning, it is actually more exciting.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, that's the first time I've paid attention. Yeah,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: now up four nil, and.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: We thought, come on, this is we don't want this
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: to be a foregone conclusion. We want this to carry
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: on for a few more days and and for it
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: to be tight. So four to two, I think ten.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: He's Zealand we know that their boat is world class
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: and the way it's been built, what it does. So
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: I think, you know, we're still drum on the water
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: and it's first to seven, isn't it. And next race
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: is Saturday morning, yes, so we won't have an out
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: and then after that is it Sunday?
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Did they race?
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they'll continue through over the weekend. I mean everyone
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: will keep in the back of their minds that San
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Francisco America's cut when he's eeling we're up at eight.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: You know, they had eight in the first to nine
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: and then they got they got beaten. They're about up
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: about eight one, and and Oracle at the time came
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: back and beat them nine to eight. So I think
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: everyone's a little bit fearful of that. But I think
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: at the moment we're pretty still pretty confident.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I'd say, Adam, thank you very much. Adam cooper' zimby
