Paris twenty twenty four edition, power by News Talks MB.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Hello there and welcome into the Sports Fixed podcast, Paris
twenty twenty four edition. I'm Jason Pine. It's the first
of August. Day five. Action is done and dusted at
Paris twenty twenty four and another medal to save up.
Hayden wild winning silver and the men's triathlon to go
with the bronze he won in the same events in Tokyo.
(00:58):
He led his big rival Alex Ye until the last
four hundred meters or so of an absolutely gripping race.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
It has been nothing short of sent sational from Hayden Wilds.
But here's Alexy. He certainly closed the gap as they
make the one hundred and eighty degree turn for home. Alexye,
He's left it to the final moments. We are going
to have a sprint finish here in Paris. Alexye is
within meters now and alex Ye has timed it to
(01:30):
absolute perfection. Alexye overtakes Hayden Wild and is in the
gold medal position with the final bush towards the finish
line absolutely unbelievable. He turns for home, Alexye, that is
simply sensational. Weeds off our cap to you here in
(01:54):
New Zealands. It is heartbreaking for Hayden Wild, but Alexye
has left it to about two hundred and three hundred
meters to go on the final turn to win gold
in the men's triathlon in Olympic record time, beating out
Hayden Wild play seven agonizing, extruciating seconds.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
I want to call from Nick Buley on Gold Sports
so silver it was for Hayden Wild. Here he is
postmatch on sky Sport. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
I just want to first off, say a massive thank
you to Dylan McCulloch. If it wasn't for him coming back,
I wouldn't have done that. He saved me a lot
of energy on the bike. I had to work really
hard on the first part of the sec dis. I
was really happy with the swim. I know I was
a little bit behind, but it's a really difficult swim
and you'd really have to be technically strong. And I
feel like I executed quite well, just obviously not as
(02:49):
close as I wanted to be, but hey, got back
into the race. But yeah, Dylan, Wow, what a masterclass.
That was something special. We had a game plan to
start if there was a gap, if it was around
fifteen seconds, he would drop back and help. And I
couldn't have done it without him. So New Zealand owes
him some sort of I don't know, medal or something,
because he deserves it as well. There he is just
(03:11):
a great race overall. It was the same kind of
exchange in the Kagliari. He's gallick slowed up in about
two k At two k in and I knew that
was my time to go. I couldn't let him recover.
Siders there to go, got the gap and then just pushed,
pushed and tried and tried, but missed out there at
the end. But hey, we recover now and we go
(03:32):
to the rear lay and trying into the middle.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
That is Hayden Wild of course, the second Kiwi in
the field. Dylan McCulloch came home nineteenth in his Olympic
debut you heard Hayden while they're talk about how Dylan
McCulloch dropped back to help bring the chasing pack up
to the front runners and the cycle. Yeah, I was
looking at the.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
White board every single laugh, but I don't know when
to job back.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
While we had a plan.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
As soon as I got to thirty seconds.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Really I drove h and drop back and yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Do everything I could to help Hater get up, and yeah,
within one lapper up at the front. And then I
actually hated to do his thing, and yeah's whoever.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
It was still a McCulloch. Nicole vander Kay was thirty
first in the women's race, while Angeley Thorpe recovered from
a crash on the cycling stage to come home forty fourth.
Those four key We triathletes combine in the mixed relay
on Monday Night.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Every Golden movement from the Olympic Games.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
It's Sports Figs Paris twenty twenty four editions with Jason Vine.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
It's a great pleasure to welcome into the Sports Fix podcast.
Sam Tanner one of the first Keyweson track and field
action in Paris. He runs the fifteen hundred meters heats
on Friday night just after nine o'clock New Zealand time. Sam,
thanks for chatting before we talk about your event. Did
you get the chance to watch you made Hayden wild
in the triathlon today? Yes?
Speaker 6 (04:44):
I did, Jason. I went right right down.
Speaker 7 (04:46):
I actually had a forty five minute run and it
happened to be about ten kg the to the race venue,
so I checked myrining shoes on and just boosted down
as quick as I could to watch him.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
How proud? How proud were you watching him?
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (04:59):
I got goosebumps a couple of times.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
I'm not gonna lie, but yeah, I got to stand
with his family, my family, coach, etc. That was pretty
special and there was some pretty awesome encouragement coming from
the Kiwi squad.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Incredible. How was your welcome to the village?
Speaker 7 (05:18):
I can't describe Olympic welcome to anyone who hasn't experienced
it to its fullest degree, I don't think, because it's
just so special. And yeah, to receive a porfity and
hacker from the New Zealand team is always going to
give me goosebumps and always going to tap my breath
away a little bit, maybe bring a tear to the eye.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
But yeah, it's pretty cool, Honor.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I see you around a couple of fifteen hundred meter
races in London and Belgium in the last ten days
or so. I think you called them rust busters. How
do you approach those races and what do you look
to get out of them?
Speaker 6 (05:56):
A couple of things.
Speaker 7 (05:56):
We approach them just to kind of tick a couple
of boxes really and to sharpen the legs up. I
think the first one, my legs were very much not sharp.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
If you watch the.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
If you watch the last fifty meters, I I kind
of was swimming like a set of keys in Lactic City.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
It was. It was not very much fun.
Speaker 7 (06:21):
But the second one found a lot better, even though
it was a little bit slower race. I think the
last fifty meters came came halfway back. So I think
this week my legs are feeling even fresher. So we'll see,
We'll see how much bounce I've got on Friday.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
So how do you feel? Are you? Do you feel
like you hoped you would a couple of days out?
Speaker 6 (06:41):
Yeah? No, I think so.
Speaker 7 (06:43):
I think the last couple of days, the last two
days in particular, have felt kind of like my good
old self like race championship season kind of sam Tana
and so that's that's encouraging. But the last few weeks
before that, the coach was absolutely hammering me.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
So I was, I was.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
I was in the box very very many times throughout
the week. And just for example, one day I ended
up literally on my face after a track sition. I
made it about five minutes across the line and ended
up with a couple of grazes.
Speaker 6 (07:13):
But that's what you're going to do in the name
of sport, a mate.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
That that that talks to our deep trust and what
your coach is asking you to do, you might. So
basically if he sees that you do it, is that
the situation here?
Speaker 7 (07:27):
Yeah, I sometimes he's actually really good because he knows
me so well. We'll be trained together so long that
he knows when to call it or when to push through.
And I'm not gonna lie the rip. Previous to the
last one, I was being low ki praying, oh please God,
let him call call it, let him call it, let
(07:48):
him call it. And I go, I go, I'm pretty stuffed,
and he goes, yeah, yeah, one more, here we go,
And so yeah, I had a hate and actually paced
me for the last one hundred meters of that rep,
and my competitiveness just kicked in and I had to
I had to beat him and ended up on my face.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Amazing. Well, it'll all be worth it if things turn
out the way we all hope they will. Over the
next week or so, there's a ripper charge round in
the fifteen hundred meters. Now, I notice, how does that change?
Speaker 7 (08:18):
Well, you know, if I end up there, then let's
just say I was testing it out. If I don't
end up there, then that's good because I didn't want
to be there anyway. But it changes the way like
heats potentially will be run because generally in the past
there's been automatic qualifiers, generally four or five, and then
a couple of fastest small they call them small Q qualifiers,
(08:41):
which is as fast as time, the next fast as
times amongst the qualifier the non qualifiers, and so there's
none of them, and essentially if you don't make top
I think six on Friday, then you go straight to
the repper charge.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Gotcha? Well yeah, Well, as you say, it's almost like
a second chance, which hopefully you won't need after you run.
After you ran sixth in the Calm Games a couple
of years ago. I remember you saying I'm the happiest
sixth place get to ever. You ran a PB that
day too, Would you feel the same if you've got
sixth here? Or are you aiming higher?
Speaker 6 (09:15):
Huh? As sixth there? The quality of o'd i'd be
I don't know what.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
I'd be saying, but it probably wouldn't make any sense
after that race, the quality of fifteen hundred guys at
the moment, especially in the Olympic finals as I don't
know if there's ever been a competition as good as
it is now, So it'd be absolute dream contruded to
do any better than sex.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
But I'm not going to say I won't. That would
be great.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
And but the final is that? Is that like a
mini goal? Making the final?
Speaker 6 (09:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (09:49):
Yeah, if I make the final, little it'll took a
lot of boxes for me in terms of career and
goals and all those other things. So to be that's
that was That's been the goal for a long time.
Making the final.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Good stuff and just just to finish. How different does
powers feel compared to Tokyo three years ago?
Speaker 7 (10:10):
It's going to be pretty exciting to have.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
People in the stands.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
I guess there's going to be real chair other than
cheering plane over the loud speakers, which actually happened, and
I was allowed to run out of the village and
I didn't get shot at or arrested, which is where
you probably would have happened in Tokyo.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
So that's great.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Well, we just can't wait to see how it goes
for you. Sam. Will be tuned in just after nine
o'clock New Zealand time Friday night and then beyond towards
the semis in the final all the very best, mate.
We'll be cheering you on.
Speaker 6 (10:46):
Yeah, beauty, cheers mate, have a go on.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Every golden moment from the Olympic Games in Sports figs
Paris twenty twenty four edition.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Great to get a chance to chat to Sam Tanner.
Let's get back to today's action. Two New Zealand rowing
crews were in semi final action, Shannon Cox and Jackie
Kittle in the lightweight women's double skulls.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
It will be great Britain the favorites four of US
lightweight women's double skulls who cross now in first place,
New Zealand second, qualifying for the A final. So the
news is all good for Shannon Cox and Jackie Kittle.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
They are into the A Final, but not to be
for Philip Wilson and Dan Williamson in the men's pair.
Speaker 8 (11:28):
As they come down to the finish line, will we
Irish hold on or will New Zealand beat them?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
New Zealand closing.
Speaker 8 (11:34):
In on the bow ball of Ireland.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
It's New Zealand.
Speaker 8 (11:37):
Coming down to the finish line now Ireland, I figure
just gonna hold on. Ireland cross now and the New
Zealand men's pair in fourth spot and the New Zealand
men's pair of Daniel Williamson and Philip Wilson miss out
on the A Final.

Speaker 6 (04:59):
I got goosebumps a couple of times.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
I'm not gonna lie, but yeah, I got to stand
with his family, my family, coach, etc. That was pretty
special and there was some pretty awesome encouragement coming from
the Kiwi squad.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Incredible. How was your welcome to the village?

Speaker 6 (06:41):
Yeah? No, I think so.
Speaker 7 (06:43):
I think the last couple of days, the last two

old self like race championship season kind of sam Tana
and so that's that's encouraging. But the last few weeks
before that, the coach was absolutely hammering me.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
So I was, I was.
Speaker 7 (07:00):

And so yeah, I had a hate and actually paced
me for the last one hundred meters of that rep,
and my competitiveness just kicked in and I had to
I had to beat him and ended up on my face.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Amazing. Well, it'll all be worth it if things turn
out the way we all hope they will. Over the
next week or so, there's a ripper charge round in
the fifteen hundred meters. Now, I notice, how does that change?
Speaker 7 (08:18):
Well, you know, if I end up there, then let's
just say I was testing it out. If I don't
end up there, then that's good because I didn't want

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Gotcha? Well yeah, Well, as you say, it's almost like
a second chance, which hopefully you won't need after you run.
After you ran sixth in the Calm Games a couple
of years ago. I remember you saying I'm the happiest
sixth place get to ever. You ran a PB that
day too, Would you feel the same if you've got
sixth here? Or are you aiming higher?
Speaker 6 (09:15):
Huh? As sixth there? The quality of o'd i'd be
I don't know what.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
I'd be saying, but it probably wouldn't make any sense
after that race, the quality of fifteen hundred guys at
the moment, especially in the Olympic finals as I don't
know if there's ever been a competition as good as
it is now, So it'd be absolute dream contruded to
do any better than sex.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
But I'm not going to say I won't. That would
be great.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
And but the final is that? Is that like a
mini goal? Making the final?
Speaker 6 (09:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (09:49):
Yeah, if I make the final, little it'll took a
lot of boxes for me in terms of career and
goals and all those other things. So to be that's
that was That's been the goal for a long time.
Making the final.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Good stuff and just just to finish. How different does
powers feel compared to Tokyo three years ago?
Speaker 7 (10:10):
It's going to be pretty exciting to have.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
People in the stands.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
I guess there's going to be real chair other than
cheering plane over the loud speakers, which actually happened, and
I was allowed to run out of the village and
I didn't get shot at or arrested, which is where
you probably would have happened in Tokyo.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
