  Speaker 2: Hi, thanks for listening to our Breakfast Bonus podcast. Today
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: we're talking Olympics, but not just an Olympic sport, the
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Olympic sport we love to watch.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: And I've just done a little tally up here. If
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: you google how many Olympic sports are there at Paris
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty four, you'll see it says forty two, but
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: actually these forty five. When you have several iterations of
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: specific sports.
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: Okay, K one hundred, K two hundred, they're all rowing.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Yes, so and like cycling, for example, you have BMX
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: as casts cycling, freestyle, BMX racing is another one, mountain biking,
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: road racing, and track. So that're all under cycles of cycling,
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: but all compete four separate medals. Of course. Sure, So
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: what we wanted to talk about today is what sport
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: do you enjoy watching the best? And when we say watch,
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: we mean on the tally because most of us don't
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: get to watch it in I actually, actually I don't
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: want to brag. I did watch the Olympics in person
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: and it was one of the greatest moments of my life.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Back in two thousand and eight in China, and I
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: was on the finish line when you saying Bolt, the
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: fastest man on the planet, broke the record for both
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: the one and the two hundred meters, And I will
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: always remember that right there. I was on the finish
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: line because I was in the mix sign for tvN's
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: and I got to interview him and I still can't
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: believe I got to do that.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: That's amazing.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Also there when the Jamaicans dropped the baton and should
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: have won the four by.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: Heartbreak.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: It just fills you with such joy just to talk
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: to the athletes and to watch things.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I've heard that the opening ceremony For a lot of
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: people in this world, the opening ceremony is on the
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: bucket list. Like if you can go to any worldwide event,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: go to an Olympics opening ceremony.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: That's amazing.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Oh, Jason, you're not going to go to the ceremony
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: over watching the sprinting though, are you? Like? Come on
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: watching an actual j Just come into this debate with
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: let's watch them walk around the track.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: On?
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Actually maybe that's your favorite sport to watch, is the walk?
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: Stop? Well, maybe the.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Athletics athletics walk. To be fair, It wouldn't be a
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: silly idea because the walks actually quite fascinating because because
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: they all get to a point, especially if it's hot,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: where things start going awright and you're you're just there's
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: a lot of emotion making sure they get to the end.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Was that key we go Craig I can't remember, Craig
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Craig bar and the crowd would come jump out trying
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: to help him up.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: I believe that was at the Commonwealth Games. And remember
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: he got severely dehydrated and then this league started going
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: wonky and eventually fell into a ditch. It was just
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: absolutely heartbreaking. Producer Rosie's looking at me stunned. You need
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: to watch that because that is a great piece of
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: sporting history for New Zealand.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: It's iconic.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: It's a big moment in New Zealand sports history for me, though,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: if you don't love watching. For me, it's always been
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: rowing for some reason, especially the long ones, because they
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: started with the hurst of the rule and they paced
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: themselves out. This could go either way, and the boat's
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: nudge ahead of each other.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: The nudging is really cool. I take your rowing and
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: I raise you to gymnastics. Gymnasts dicks is phenomenal, especially
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: when and the thing it's so weird is the good
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: test is is it a sport that you want to
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: watch when New Zealand's not competing. And let's be honest,
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: we don't often have gymnasts, that's right, right. What was
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: our famous one called Nicki Jenkins?
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: But she was the nineteen ninety Commonworth Games. She was
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: pulled again, yeah, the last minute she pulled in then
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: won a medal.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then there was on the world stayed Nadia
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: common Ichi.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: And now I want to watch to watch Simon Biles,
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: the US Superstar. But what I like about the gym
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: is there's such variety. So if you watch them do
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: the one I don't know the correct term, but where
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: they go, and they do a whole lot of events.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: So you watch them on the vault. Then you watch
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: the same people do the bars, the uneven bars, and
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: they'll be on the beam and they have to get
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: a collection of scores to get the overall and often
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: it'll be competing for a team and there'll be one
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: member of the team that just falls off and then
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: they lose the medal for the whole team.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: It's just devastating on those beams.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Always freak out because that looks really and I know
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: they practice and practice and practice, but I can't really
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: watch because I cringe too much.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Wrong, pretty scary bars, the bars around there is a
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: specific move on the bars that they had to they
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: outlook their banded too dangerous because it was so so dangerous.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: And then there's the what about the horse? Watching those
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: men on the horse, you know where they go.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: On the rings, the rings, try to do the rings
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: too hard.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: I can't even hang off. I was with my son
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: the other day at a playground and all he wanted
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: me to do was go along a rail holding on
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: and I my arms were so weak I dropped off halfway.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Pathetic anyway, So we've got gym, so that's high on
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: that app on the scale. What about track and field?
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: I don't mind you the spraining one. I like those ones,
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: and even the.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Eight meters is great to watch.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but the discuss in the shot put, like we've
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: always been quite dominant in the shot put over thee
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: and you see these amazing distances people are throwing anything.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: You will wait for the key. We wait for the keywiss.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: And then what.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: About when there is an event and we're out of
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: the medals and they've got one throw and then it
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: puts them into the meddles. Yeah, moments are amazing.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Jeffn always freaks me out because I worry about people
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: standing in the field because you see too many things
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: go wrong for those four people sitting in the.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: White coats so bad.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: I'm looking through here. I mean, if Sam was here,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: he would say, beach volleyball for obvious reasons. It's a
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: beautiful game, isn't it. You're still in the there the
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: one to put to you. Diving. Oh yeah, that's fun
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: to watch, especially the synchronized diving.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: Oh that's incredible. Yeah. Do you remember again, go back
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: to the Commonwealth.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Games that you're going to talk about the guy that
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: waked his hit on the board Greek lu gainness.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Oh no, but yeah, it's good knowledge for you.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, So he bleed into the pool.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: That's another great piece of footage, producer Rosie to what.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: He waked here and he's bleeding to the pool.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Anyway, back in nineteen ninety the Commonwealth Games England brought
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: out their divers here and one of the guys started diving.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: He was everyone who's this guy. He's really good and
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: he quit diving to become an actor. Jason Stathan. He
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: was a diver.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: He's got a good body too, it's a good physique.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: I'm going to throw some other sports at you kind
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: of what about weightlifting?
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't mind that, but again it's it's over
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: too fast.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: But what about when they when their knee buckles? Yeah,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: and sends us those videos all the time, so bad. Okay,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: here's another new sport, surfing. We're going to be able
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: to watch that from Tahiti.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: Looking forward to that, yep.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: And what's another one skateboarding? Skateboarding? Yeah, and the probably
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: the most exciting, and I've seen this only clips on
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: the news, sport climbing sports when they go up like
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Spider Man and sport climber going. So I'm quite excited
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: to watch that. I also I'm a bit of a
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: traditionalist as well. I like watching the good old triathlon,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: just the rubb and swim and the bike.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's there's a lot of skill in there.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Also because maybe it's because I like the game anyway,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: but like for rugby sevens and things, how quick those
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: tournaments are this time this year they'll be have that
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: at the Olympics. I'll have like rugby is going to
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: be one of those sevens of the Olympics. So I'm
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: looking forward to that because I know that we've got
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: some high profile kiwi's there, especially Portia woman. It'll be
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: her last games, so they want to make a statement.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: And I like, what do I like watching the team
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: sport too, But I think we can all agree today
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: that the Olympics is where the individuals get to fly, right,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: the individual sports, because we get to see the rugby,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: that all of those team sports on a big stage
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: for World Cups. But when do we ever get to
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: see our sport climber? Never? So this is their time
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: to shine.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: Right three in the morning, but it'll be worth it.
