Every golden movement from the Olympic Games. It's Sports Fix
Paris twenty twenty four edition with Jason Vine.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Let's start in the pool and the four hundred meter
Olympic Men's individual medley swimming final featuring Lewis Clarebert. Lewis
Clebert trying to make up some ground with those big
long levers of HER's up in lane one, but he
might be running out of Paul Marshall wins an Olympic
record time of four oh two nine five, clear Bert
fading near the end. Here Lewis Clebert finishing sixth in
(01:31):
a time of four minutes ten point four to four
seconds outside his personal best. He said afterwards the breastroke
leg the third leg really cost him and he just
didn't have anything in the tank for the freestyle, so
no medal unfortunately for Lewis Clarebert in his favorite event.
But Erica Fairweather will swim another Olympic final. She's qualified
seventh fastest in the women's two hundred meter freestyle, which
(01:54):
is scheduled for seven forty eight am Tuesday. The other
key We swimmer in action was first time Olympian Caine Follows,

Sports figs Para's twenty twenty four edition.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
A very good day for our rowers. Two kerew We
crews have advanced straight through to their finals the women's form, but.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
It is Great Britain that's crossed the finish line in
first spot. New Zealand second, qualifying for the A final
in the women's.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Four that's Kerry Williams, Divina Waddy, Phoebe Spores and Jackie
Gowler and their men's equivalent Matt McDonald, Tom Murray, Logan
Olrich and Oliver McLean.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Romania is giving it a good crack on Great Britain,
but I don't think they'll catch them. The New Zealanders.
They're going to win it by a boat League World
done fellas McLean, Ulrich, Murray and McDonald cross in first place.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Those finals are on Thursday evening, New Zealand time. Two
other crews are through to their respective semifinals. It was
though a close run thing for Philip Wilson and Dan
Williamson and the men's pair.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Coming down to the line. Boy, there's four boats but
are so close together right across the rowing course going
across first Switzerland on New Zealand. Oh, it's a photo finish,
good lord, it's a photo finish between all four boats.
Who's going to be in the top three? The winners
of peak number one are confirmed to Spain New Zealand second.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Here world on boys and the lightweight women's double skulls
pairing of Jackie Kittle and Shannon Cox also through.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
And they're coming down to the line. The Shannon Cox
Jackie Cadell go over in first spot. New Zealand one
France two are the two boats to qualify directly to
the semi finals in the lightweight women's double skulls.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Those semis take place on Wednesday evening. Unfortunately, women's pair
Kate Haynes and Ilama Sherman will have to qualify via
the rapper charge after finishing last in their heat.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Reaction and Analysis It's Sports Fix Paris twenty four editions
with Jason Hine.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
On the Sports Fix podcast. One of the big stories
of the Olympics so far is the Canadian women's football
team and drone Gate. Significant punishments handed down by FIFA,
a six point deduction from their group tally at the Games,
a fine of two hundred thousand Swiss francs that's around
four hundred thousand New Zealand dollars, and coach Bev Priestman
(04:19):
and two members of her staff have been banned for
all football activity for a year. Ben Steiner is a
Canadian based reporter and broadcaster for CBC Sports. He joins
us now. Ben. First of all, despite the six point deduction,
Canada scored a goal in the twelfth minute of added
time this morning to beat France two to one and
(04:41):
stay alive in their quest for the quarter finals. For
those who missed it, tell us about late drama in
the game between Canada and France.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Yeah, well, it was certainly dramatic and they left it
until the final moment. In No. One, there was thirteen
minutes of stoppage time and I think they ended up
playing around fifteen. But Vanessa yields left footed finish, you know,
the center back gets a rebounded Canada win two on
and now against Columbia if they win there likely through
to the next rounded. You know, when the penalty comes down,
that was supposed to pretty well eliminate Canada from the tournament.
(05:12):
That's not too bad of a result for the Canadian group.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Bave Priceman released a statement right before the game. What
did it say.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
It said that she felt terribly and you know, she
apologized and she's willing to go ahead with whatever investigations come,
whether that's from FIFA, the IOC, Canade Soccer, at the
Canadian Olympic Committee. Really, you know, every investigation that's going
to come throughout this. But I thought it was a
little bit suspect to you know, release a statement about
an hour before the lineup came out, and you know
(05:43):
that serves as a distraction to a player group that
already has so much weight on their shoulders from this
situation that, you know, I wonder whether there's some you know,
a rocky relationship there between pritemen and you know, if
she comes back into the group at some point. Of course,
she's suspended from footballing activity for a year, so I
don't imagine that she will. But she is still officially
the coach of this Canadian woman's national team and he's
(06:05):
spent stepping in on the interm for now and will
have to see she does technically have a contract will
be in the twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
What would her motivation have possibly been for releasing a
statement at that time.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
I mean, it might be that there's a bit of
a fight going on between her and the player group.
Maybe you know that she felt that the player group
has you know, tarnished the reputation of the Canadian national
team by throwing her under the bus somewhat, and maybe
she feels like she's taking the fall for something that
wasn't her fault. But you know, from my perspective, I
(06:38):
do think that, you know, it's the head coach that
represents the group and she clearly is at fault for
a lot of this. So you know, that rocky relationship
doesn't necessarily surprise me, given the fact that you know
she's at home and the Canadian group is still alive
and kicking at Paris twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Do you think it was in any way and admission
of guilt the wording of it. I'm going to cooperate
fully with everything coming my Why was that in any
way been for you an admission of guilt here?
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Not at all, I don't think. So. You know, she
denied and sort of danced around questions in initial interviews
about whether she had used drones, and John Herdman, the
you know, former New Zealand woman's coach and former Canadian
coach now you know, then went on to the Kenay
men's team is now at Toronto of CNMLS, also denied
that he had any drone footage and had ever used
(07:28):
drone at the World Cup or Olympics. So you know,
there's denying, denying, denying, and we'll see what the investigations
come up with. But I wouldn't buy that the Brisman
is too any cinemas well.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
What do you think the investigations will throw up.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
I don't think much more than what we've already seen.
There's been a lot of reports from Canadian reporters, international
reporters about what, you know, this drone situation has been,
and it seems like this has been a you know,
systematic thing for Canadian soccer in the last little while.
It's a hefty punishment. Six points at the Olympic Games
practically kicks you out of the tournament and Kenda has
done whatever they could to get you know, what's potentially
(08:06):
a perfect group stage and sent them through to the
next round. But you know, it's they've come down hard.
Canada soccer doesn't have a ton of money. The three
hundred thousand dollars Canadian is going to be a big
slap on the funding for Canada soccer that it's going
to be difficult. Then I think they're being made a
bit of an example of from FIFA. And you know,
I wouldn't expect that Bret Priestan coaches another game with
(08:29):
the national team either.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Do you think any of the players knew.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
I'm not sure there was a report yesterday that the
men's players did see drone footage of a Hunter's training
session in World Cup qualifying back in twenty twenty one.
So I do think the men's players knew when John
Herdman was their coach, who knows about the women's players.
That's not to say it didn't influence the game in
any way, because you know, the coach can see that
(08:57):
and see these training sessions and enact tactics to counteract that.
But I'm not confident in saying that the players on
this women's national team deal. They seemed quite emotional that they.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Didn't know, and in terms of their response, I mean,
you could hardly write that script, could you. You know,
Gold in the twelfth minute of added time to beat
the host to one and stay alive even with the
six point deduction. Do you sense that it may have
galvanized the playing group.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
I think it may, you know, in some ways, it
seems like a team of destiny at this point that
I win against Columbia push them through the next round
when they were pretty well all but eliminated. So it
was pretty exciting, and I think this is probably the
most determined group of the tournament.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
What do you see happening from here just finally been
What is most likely to play out once the Olympics
is over and this investigation runs its course. What do
you sense as most likely?
Speaker 5 (09:52):
It'll take a lot of time for Canada to rebuild
the public trust in Canada soccer and public faith within
the national federation. But at the end of the day,
I mean, this is a team that really galvinated the
country at the corp of America on the man's side,
and still has podiumed at the last three Olympics and
could very well put him at these games too. The
players showed today that even in you know, situations where
(10:15):
their backs are against the wall, everything's playing against them,
they can find a win in the dying moments. And
they played very well. That second half was probably one
of the best halves they've played in the last five
or so years. So, you know, there's still a lot
of goodwill around this team. They're still a very good team.
I don't think they've benefited, you know, extremely from any
of the drone footage, certainly not against New Zealand's you
(10:37):
know where New Zealand looked fine, but Kendo was just
the better team on the day. There's still a top
ten team in the world, and I think they'll remain
then and I mean to find success potentially more if
they move on to a new coach and sort of
move on to this era.

New Zealand sawls. Sammy Maxwell has finished eighth in the
women's cross country final. It's an impressive result for the
twenty two year old, who was initially denied a place
at the Games by Cycling New Zealand despite having earned
a quota spot. So so special I last year. I
didn't even think I was going to go come to
the Olympics. I didn't even think I was going to cry.
(11:29):
And it's been a long time to get here.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
So I'm just saampy to put it together.
Speaker 3 (11:34):

and I just I wanted to do them proud.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
This is just pretty pretty happy to be here.

Four editions at the Chateau de Versailles. In the three
day event, New Zealand hanging in there. The equestrian team
sixth after the cross country phase in the team section
a combined score of one hundred and eighteen point two zero.
Tim Price took just two penalty points from his cross
country He's sitting ninth, Clark Johnston is twelfth and Janelle
(12:17):
Price forty first, and the three day event wraps up
with the show jumping tomorrow. The Olympic sailing program is
underway off the coast of Marseillese mixed fortunes. Though Isaac
McCarty and Will McKenzie won their forty nine as sailing opener,
then registered a third and a sacrificial eighth, but they
do lead the fleet. Unfortunately, Joe la and Molly Meach,
(12:39):
despite all of their Olympic experience, had a fifteenth, a
seventeenth and a twentieth to sit last in their fleet.
Racing in the men's and women's windsurfing called off shortly
after four point thirty in the afternoon local time. That
means Josh Armott and Vela ten half will have to
wait at least another twenty four hours to make their
Olympic Games debuts. Tennis playerler Luson beaten and round one
(13:02):
of the women's singles. She was added to this drawer
after a withdrawal, but went down in straight sets to
Marta Kushchuk of Ukraine. Of course, Lulusun is in the
women's doubles with Aaron Ratliffe. Their match, unfortunately against third
seeds Sarah Irani and Jasmine Paulini of Italy, was postponed.

Edition Big Metal Hopes the Black Ferns sevens. They've begun
the defense of their Olympic title. They were gold medal winners,
of course, in Tokyo three years ago. They opened with
a very comfortable forty three to five win over China,
mikaylab Blyde scoring four of New Zealand's seven tries, and
it was equally comfortable against Canada.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Just before halfway, Felix Hotn though timed a beautifully bit
of a flex from Felix Hotham don't offers on purpose
or off, but she waited for the Canada won't be
defender to come in for the tackle and then sits
off down the blinds and Jasmin Felix Otham bags New
Zealand's fourth of the match.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Two from two for our Black Fern Sevens. More to
come tomorrow. Luca Jones has finished eighth in the fived
of the canoe slalom K one that was the eventually

they played very well. That second half was probably one
of the best halves they've played in the last five
or so years. So, you know, there's still a lot
of goodwill around this team. They're still a very good team.
I don't think they've benefited, you know, extremely from any
of the drone footage, certainly not against New Zealand's you
(10:37):
know where New Zealand looked fine, but Kendo was just
the better team on the day. There's still a top
ten team in the world, and I think they'll remain
then and I mean to find success potentially more if
they move on to a new coach and sort of
move on to this era.
