for Dame Lisa Carrington alongside Lisa Hoskin, who now has
two golds in two days. Here she is afterwards.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
We went in with a plan, we went in with
a strategy and we just had to put a lot
of trust in that and a lot of trust in
each other. So all that was going through my head
was just trust, trust, stay calm, stay calm, trust out
pros in our preparation. So yeah, when it came to
the back end, our body started hurting in the waters,
super bouncy at the back end. So we were just
(02:17):
rarely putting a lot of trust in our technique in
our preparation, and yeah, a lot of heart went into that.
Had a really good time to get it.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
I bet you did, Alisau, So you can sit back
and relax. Now two gold medals to bring home with you.
But Dame Lisa Carrington with one more piece of business,
the K one five hundred tonight semifinals and then a final.
And let's not forget Amy Fisher, the other kiwi in
that field. It just feels as though it's written in
the stars that these two will go head to head
tonight for medals in the K one five hundred. At
(02:46):
the kayaking meantime, Curtis Imri and Hamish Legarth were seventh
and there K two five hundred men semi final and

Speaker 2 (02:59):
Fix Paris twenty twenty four edition powered My News Talk saidb.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
And to start to France where we have a new
shot put queen. Twice now she's responded Maddie Wishy or
has she no? Is the answer?
Speaker 7 (03:12):
Nineteen six eight on.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
First look at look big but not big enough. That
was the last throw of Maddi Wishy's shotbook campaign. She
threw a nineteen point eighty six meter personal best to
get herself into the gold medal position, pipped at the
last by Germany's Yea Missi ogin Leti. The German took
the lead on the fifth throw, where she responded to
reclaim that position with the nineteen eighty six and then
(03:37):
Ogen Lahy with twenty meters exactly with her final heave,
but a silver medal and a peb for Maddi Wishy,
who joins us now on the Sportsbooks podcast. How are
you feeling now with a few hours to reflect.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
I'm pretty happy, you know.
Speaker 8 (03:53):
I like this feeling throwing a pbe at the Olympics
and getting a silver medal, though I would have liked
the gold. Yeah, these are the moments, These are the
reasons why I do the sport, being in such high
and intense moments and such a competed at the field
and in Paris at the Olympics. Yeah, it's a bit
surreal right now.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Did you think you'd won it with your nineteen eighty six?
Speaker 7 (04:18):
I didn't, you know.
Speaker 8 (04:19):
I going into this predictions with that woman's shot, we're
going to be one with the twenty meters.
Speaker 7 (04:25):
So I knew that someone.
Speaker 8 (04:26):
Was going to pop think big and knew me was
the one to do it, and unfortunately I couldn't pull
through in the end.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
But what an incredible was the fifth round, wasn't it?
She threw it out there and said, hey, laid down
the challenge for you. You pulled out the big nineteen
eighty six. Well, can you just reflect on that moment?
Speaker 7 (04:43):
For us?
Speaker 8 (04:45):
I had a bit of nerves going into that fifth throw,
knowing that you know, I'd kind of been perped and
I needed to get my spot back, and yeah, it's
kind of muscle memory took over and training worked and yeah,
and here we are.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
I was going to ask you about that. How much
did you rely on your prep and trust your processes today?
Speaker 8 (05:09):
One hundred percent? The whole way through was me trusting
the process. My team worked so hard to get me
on this big stage and help me achieve some pretty
big dreams. And yeah, it was it was all trust
the process and training had been going well and qualifiers
work to get the Big Q was good confidence.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
So yeah, it was this is everything is prep work.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Yeah, smashing out the nineteen two five to automatically qualify.
How pleased were you to be able to do that yesterday?
Speaker 8 (05:39):
Super happy to be able to get the Big Q
and qualifications my first big Q. Usually I'm down at
the bottom of the ranks and then in the finals
I'm kind of suck in the lower part of top eight,
and so to be amongst the top girls and such
a competitive time and Woman's shop put, Yeah, super shupped.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
You always look so relaxed. Maddie is that part of
your secret.
Speaker 7 (06:02):
I think so. I think it's just a part of
who I am.
Speaker 8 (06:05):
I try not to take things too seriously and at
the end of the day, this is just sport and
there's a lot of things that are bigger than this.
So to be able to do my passion and to
travel the world, yep, can't be too stressed and can't
be too big headed about anything.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Well, I mean the other part is that you encourage
the other throwers as well. I don't think I've ever
seen that you're geeing up those who are who you're
you're throwing against. It's an incredible thing that you do.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
We were all doing it.
Speaker 8 (06:36):
It wasn't just me, and that's that every single competition,
we're all cheering for each other. You do your best
and then you can beat the best, and then that's
a great competition. And that's why women's shot put at
the moment is so competitive. And not only are they
amazing people, but they make the infield so much and
so much more enjoyable when we can both banter and
(06:57):
compete as strong, powerful women.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Where do you assess that we're shot putters right now?
Are we looking at some twenty ones twenty two's in
the not too distant future.
Speaker 8 (07:07):
Yeah, I reckon, We've got so many women on the
cusp of twenty one meters and once you're at twenty one,
then twenty two and then the world records and the
the arena, so why not?
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Why not? And no lucky sunglasses needed today? But was
at the start?
Speaker 7 (07:21):
Was that?
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Was that challenge? Was that challenging.
Speaker 7 (07:25):
In the first though, it was a little bit.
Speaker 8 (07:27):
I didn't grab my footing as I'd like to, but
live in Auckland and training at Wytak, there's weather changes
within five minutes, so I was prepared for the wet
and the slippery circle. So it wasn't that much of
a hassle or or a mind kind of block.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (07:44):
I just trusted the process again and knew what I
needed to do, and.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Just to finish. I know, I read that you've got basically,
well I don't know if it's all your family, but
you had to hire a lot of dogs sitters back
here too to look out for your dogs because everybody
was going to be emparrassed. Did you feel your family
support today?
Speaker 8 (08:02):
I did, saw my sisters and in the front row,
and I could I was laughing and sharing with them
along with the whole competition. So to be able to
see them in the stands and for them to be
here is huge. And I wouldn't be able to do
this without my team. And yeah, I definitely miss my
dogs and I've still got.
Speaker 7 (08:21):
A few more comps to go. I am excited to
go home and see my bulldog.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Well, you've added superbly to the tremendous legacy and shot
put for New Zealand, Madi. Everyone back here was just
just enthralled watching you throw at breakfast time out time, Congratulations.
