It's absolutely unbelievable. We can't quite believe it yet. It
hasn't sunk in. You know. The the last race was
immense and we yeah, we're super super proud.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Tell us about it, Ed new Dewanders, tell us about
the strategy. Actually before we talk about the metal race,
we had a couple of cracks at it yesterday, didn't
we and couldn't get it done. How challenging was that
as you waited for the opportunity to actually race this
metal race?
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Yeah, it was. It was actually super challenging for us.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
You know. It was a stressful position for us to
be in and to have to sort of prime ourselves
three times, so that was quite stressful.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
But we did a really good job of.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Resetting and working as a team, and yeah, we actually
put ourselves in great positions in all of them. So
it was and it was super hot as well over here,
so we wouldn't think we'd be out on the water
for that.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Long and we were getting low on.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Ice and water, so it was it was a it
was a management management program for us well.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
So not only not much wind, but pretty done hot
as well. So the elements really through everything at you
did they in Marseille?
Speaker 5 (02:43):
They did. It was a crazy day.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
You know. We we were so hot and we got
what was it halfway through two races and they just
intoed it at the end of it. So by the
bottom mark, I don't think I've ever been that hot
in my life.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
I was sweat running down my head.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Hey, how do you reflect on the whole on the
whole week, the whole week of sailing? You know, as
I say, there's been there's been wind shift, You've had
to wait, you've had to be patient. How do you
reflect on the whole Olympic regatta?
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Yeah, it's been a super tricky week.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
As I'm sure a lot of you guys have seen.
The results have been all over the show. Nobody sort
of ran away with it, which people normally do. Yes,
super shifty, super light. We had, Yeah, some crazy days
on the water.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
But it's been.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Surreal to just sit back and actually compete in our
first Olympic Games and we've just been proud New Zealanders
soaking every minute of it up. You know, we've had
friends and family here. It's been super special.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
As far as the metal itself is concerned. What were
your expectations or your ambitions coming in. I know every
elite sportsperson aims high. What's the podium something that you
realistically targeted?
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Absolutely, we knew, Yeah, the podium was our goal. There's
a lot of very experienced sailors in the forty nine
er fleet at the moment and some guys that have
been crushing it.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
So we were you know, we wanted to be on the.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Podium, but we were ready to accept anything. And you
know it can carry on the legacy of what Peter
and Blair have left is superspicial for us as well.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yeah, you've alluded nicely to my next question. You know,
the success of Peter Berling and Blair Chook in this
very class I wonder whether that ever weighed heavy on
you did that.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Yeah, it was definitely in the back of our minds.
You know, we didn't want to fall short, especially these
last few days. It's where it's just been so close
to be able to finish it off and you contend
continue that legacy for New Zealander is very special.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Have you had much or any contact with Peter and
Blair in the lead up to the Olympics.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Yeah, both of the boys have flugg us messages and
wished us good luck. Blair's been messaging me every day. Yes,
so it's really cool to have those boys behind us.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
And yeah, tell us about how the week's been off
the water. You mentioned you've got some support crew there.
Has it felt a bit special though being part of
an Olympic regatta and how much opportunity have you had
to spend time with people off the water.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
It's been really cool.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Our New Zealand team down here in Marseilles. It's not
very big, is small, it's a small team, but it's
a special team. We're super strong, so it's been it's
been like home. We've been here for a couple of
months now, so we've been very focused and that aspect,
and we haven't actually had a lot of time to
see friends and family because we have had our heads
(05:50):
down just.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Focusing on the regatta.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
So hopefully tonight we get the chance to catch up
with a whole lot of friends and family and celebrate.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Tell me a bit about Will McKenzie what's he like.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Oh, he's a good roost. He's a very smart man.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
He's a talented yochtie as well, and a very good
made of mind.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
How does the relationship on the water work? Do you
are you now at the point where you don't have
to talk a heck of a lot because you know
what each other is thinking? Or is there still quite
a bit of conversation out there?
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Yeah, COM's is a huge part of sailing, so we'll
always try and keep the communication high. There's many parts
on the boat now that we don't have to talk about,
little things like staring and trim like that, and powering
the sails up and depowering the sails. But the communications
a lot more involved with tactics and where's the next
wind shift? Were's the boats on the course? And yeah,
(06:42):
preparing for races sony communication is very high.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
On board and wich heading. Not long after you know
you've finished the race, you haven't had the opportunity to
receive your medal yet. Has what you've achieved sunken or
do you think that'll need to wait until you're on
that podium with a bit of precious metal around your neck.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
I think it'll really settle in once you get on
that podium.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Isaac, terrific stuff, mate. We enjoyed watching back here. It was,
as you say, we yet to be patient, having three
cracks at it, but to get across the line third
in the metal race and secure silver for yourself in
Will and for New Zealand. Terrific staff. Thanks for taking
the time for a chat and enjoy the celebrations.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Thank you very much and cheers too. Have run back
home for you guys support. It's been unreal.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Isaac McCarty joining us on the Sports Fix podcast. Joe
La and Molly Meach came home fourth in their metal
race to finish seventh overall. Oil all wind foiling quarters,
semis and metal races were called off though due to
light wins Tom Saunders fifth after four races and the
men's dinghy and Greta Pilkington thirty sixth after three races
(07:45):
in the women's dinghy.

This is Sports Fix Paris twenty twenty four editions, your
daily update for the Olympic Games, Howard by News Talk
z'd be.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
It was the first day of track and field action
at Starre de France with sprinter Zoey Hobbs in the
women's one hundred meters heats. All that build up, all
those hours of training come down to this for Zoey Hobbs.
In lane six she got away nicely, zoe Hobbs and
the middle of the field and leads through twenty meters.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
Julian Elfred down here in late nine, Zoey Hobbs leads
through eighty meters.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
She's gonna be second.
Speaker 6 (08:16):
She's gonna go through to the semis. Zoey Hobbs second.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
In her hate.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
She gone away smartly and held her form through seventeen meters.
Only at the last was she pick by Julian Alfred.
Zoey Hobbs eleven o eight. She's pleased, She's really pleased,
and she's through to the semifinals.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Here she certainly is a very pleasing Olympics debut for
Zoey Hobbs.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
Now, really nervous beforehand, and I was actually four seed
going into that heat. So I just said to trust
that usually I rise to the occasion and just lean
on that and trust how the body's feeling at the
moment and cut really free and yeah, really good.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Have you tear into the semis for Zoey Hobbs.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Sports figs Para's twenty twenty four editions.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Sam Tanner mean time in the heats of the men's
fifteen hundred meters, needing to finish in the top six
to qualify directly for the Semis. He's got a lot of.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Work today, Tanner, to get into the top six.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
It might just be.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
Beyond them unless he can go round the outside and
put the after burners on. Sam Tanner's giving his best.
He's running four lanes out, but I don't.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Think he's gonna get there.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
Not gonna make the top six, Sam Tanner. It'll be
a repper charge on Sunday morning, and he just eases
off as he goes across the finish line, knowing that
the top six are beyond him, so a rapper charge.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
It will be Sam Tanor thirteenth in his heat, well
outside the top six finish that he needed to move
directly into the semis.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Just one lines.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
You've got blied around in a little bit.
Speaker 8 (09:41):
I thought, if they stay relaxed, then maybe that'll blow
up a little bit and I'll be able to pick
up a couple off.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
And I found good coming up to Bend.
Speaker 8 (09:48):
But I guess two races before the Olympics is for
me a quite enough to dust up all the rust.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
And both Tom Walsh and Jack O'Gill are through to
the shot put final, needing to throw twenty one point
three five meters to qualify directly for the final. Walsh
through twenty one point four to eight with his second attempt,
while Jack O'Gill reached twenty one point three to five
with his second attempt. That final on Sunday morning from
(10:13):
five to thirty five, Every Golden.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Movement from the Olympic Games. It's Sports figs Paris twenty
twenty four edition with Jason Vine.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
There was though huge disappointment for Tokyo bronze medalist Dylan
Schmidt in the final of the men's trampoline Smit's underway.
A couple of somersaults to start smooth, gets that momentum
up and he works his way towards the right of
the man struggling.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
He's off.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
He's af Terlan Schmidt.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
He's unable to complete his routine and that's disappointment for
the New Zealander.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
There really was heartbreaking for Dylan Schmidt falling from the
tramp ending his hopes of another Olympic medal. Dylan Schmidt
is with us. How are you feeling after what played
out on that final?
Speaker 8 (11:00):
Yeah, look, it's I guess getting there. Yeah, it's a
tough one to swallow. Yeah, I mean campaign was great,
leader was great, Training has been really really good, bodies
feeling good, pretty really into training and worked really hard
and didn't come off, which is obviously heartbreaking. Uh yeah, look,
(11:20):
it's it's a tough un to pin point what actually
went wrong in the final. Obviously fell off onto the floor,
which never helps. But yeah, look, I mean it's just
one of those days. Just wasn't my day. But yeah,
credit to the the other boys deserving of the podium. Yeah,
incredible athletes and wish I could have been up there
or at least pushing them.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
But yes, wasn't my day.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Was it something that happened quickly or was it over
a couple of moves previous? So have you been able
to process how it happened?
Speaker 8 (11:51):
Ah? Yeah, Look, I think the first skill was really strong,
seeking skill potentially drifted a little bit, Yeah, pushed really
hard into the third and I mean I was I
was pretty close after that, and then you know, I
never I never stopped. I always go from anywhere. That's
probably you know why I fell on the floor, just
because I wasn't going to give up and I wasn't
(12:12):
going to stop. I was going to keep going until
I was wasn't on the trampoline. So yeah, it sucks.
You know, you just want to take it back and
have another go. Well, I was feeling really good, to
be honest, so it's hard to spin point what went wrong,
but sometimes these things just happened.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
And yes, and qualifying, I mean you look you look
good well to my untrained eye. And qualifying, did you
feel pretty pretty good during qualifying for the final?
Speaker 8 (12:38):
Yeah, I felt all right, Like it still didn't feel
probably how I how I wanted to feel, but I
did what I needed to do to get into the final.
And yeah, put a pretty solid routine. I knew I
could have done better, but you know, enough to get through.
And yeah, I was just really hoping that laid out
and put it out there in the final. And you know,
(12:59):
it sucks because I know I can do more and
I know I can do bigger scores.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
And yes, never how you.
Speaker 8 (13:04):
Want to injure a limp the campaign? Is it?
Speaker 3 (13:06):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
No?
Speaker 3 (13:07):
And I mean, you're You'll probably go through a few emotions.
I guess, are you able to feel any pride at
making another Olympic final or will that probably have to wait?
Speaker 8 (13:17):
No, I mean, I'm I'm proud of myself, proud of
the work I put in, proud of how I handled
everything leading up to this. Coach coaches back home, she
had to go, so that through a bit of a
spinner in the works, But you know, I really think
I dealt with it well. And it's not knowing of
the reason why everything's going wrong, but it sucks that,
(13:40):
you know, I can't she can't be here. I guess
to celebrate, I guess all the work we put in
regardless of the result. So yeah, I'm incredibly proud of myself. Yeah,
so much. Not much more to it really.
Speaker 3 (13:54):

the sails up and depowering the sails. But the communications
a lot more involved with tactics and where's the next
wind shift? Were's the boats on the course? And yeah,
(06:42):
preparing for races sony communication is very high.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
On board and wich heading. Not long after you know
you've finished the race, you haven't had the opportunity to
receive your medal yet. Has what you've achieved sunken or
do you think that'll need to wait until you're on
that podium with a bit of precious metal around your neck.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
I think it'll really settle in once you get on
that podium.
Speaker 3 (07:04):

Zoey Hobbs.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
Now, really nervous beforehand, and I was actually four seed
going into that heat. So I just said to trust
that usually I rise to the occasion and just lean
on that and trust how the body's feeling at the
moment and cut really free and yeah, really good.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Have you tear into the semis for Zoey Hobbs.
Speaker 1 (08:55):

to qualify directly for the Semis. He's got a lot of.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Work today, Tanner, to get into the top six.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
It might just be.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
Beyond them unless he can go round the outside and
put the after burners on. Sam Tanner's giving his best.
He's running four lanes out, but I don't.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Think he's gonna get there.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
Not gonna make the top six, Sam Tanner. It'll be
a repper charge on Sunday morning, and he just eases
off as he goes across the finish line, knowing that
the top six are beyond him, so a rapper charge.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
It will be Sam Tanor thirteenth in his heat, well
outside the top six finish that he needed to move
directly into the semis.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Just one lines.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
You've got blied around in a little bit.
Speaker 8 (09:41):
I thought, if they stay relaxed, then maybe that'll blow
up a little bit and I'll be able to pick
up a couple off.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
And I found good coming up to Bend.
Speaker 8 (09:48):
But I guess two races before the Olympics is for
me a quite enough to dust up all the rust.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
And both Tom Walsh and Jack O'Gill are through to
the shot put final, needing to throw twenty one point
three five meters to qualify directly for the final. Walsh
through twenty one point four to eight with his second attempt,

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Movement from the Olympic Games. It's Sports figs Paris twenty
twenty four edition with Jason Vine.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
There was though huge disappointment for Tokyo bronze medalist Dylan
Schmidt in the final of the men's trampoline Smit's underway.
A couple of somersaults to start smooth, gets that momentum
up and he works his way towards the right of
the man struggling.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
He's off.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
He's af Terlan Schmidt.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
He's unable to complete his routine and that's disappointment for
the New Zealander.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
There really was heartbreaking for Dylan Schmidt falling from the
tramp ending his hopes of another Olympic medal. Dylan Schmidt
is with us. How are you feeling after what played
out on that final?
Speaker 8 (11:00):
Yeah, look, it's I guess getting there. Yeah, it's a
tough one to swallow. Yeah, I mean campaign was great,
leader was great, Training has been really really good, bodies
feeling good, pretty really into training and worked really hard
and didn't come off, which is obviously heartbreaking. Uh yeah, look,
(11:20):
it's it's a tough un to pin point what actually
went wrong in the final. Obviously fell off onto the floor,
which never helps. But yeah, look, I mean it's just
one of those days. Just wasn't my day. But yeah,
credit to the the other boys deserving of the podium. Yeah,
incredible athletes and wish I could have been up there
or at least pushing them.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
But yes, wasn't my day.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Was it something that happened quickly or was it over
a couple of moves previous? So have you been able
to process how it happened?
Speaker 8 (11:51):
Ah? Yeah, Look, I think the first skill was really strong,
seeking skill potentially drifted a little bit, Yeah, pushed really
hard into the third and I mean I was I
was pretty close after that, and then you know, I
never I never stopped. I always go from anywhere. That's
probably you know why I fell on the floor, just
because I wasn't going to give up and I wasn't
(12:12):
going to stop. I was going to keep going until
I was wasn't on the trampoline. So yeah, it sucks.
You know, you just want to take it back and
have another go. Well, I was feeling really good, to
be honest, so it's hard to spin point what went wrong,
but sometimes these things just happened.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
And yes, and qualifying, I mean you look you look
good well to my untrained eye. And qualifying, did you
feel pretty pretty good during qualifying for the final?
Speaker 8 (12:38):
Yeah, I felt all right, Like it still didn't feel
probably how I how I wanted to feel, but I
did what I needed to do to get into the final.
And yeah, put a pretty solid routine. I knew I
could have done better, but you know, enough to get through.
And yeah, I was just really hoping that laid out
and put it out there in the final. And you know,
(12:59):
it sucks because I know I can do more and
I know I can do bigger scores.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
And yes, never how you.
Speaker 8 (13:04):
Want to injure a limp the campaign? Is it?
Speaker 3 (13:06):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
No?
Speaker 3 (13:07):
And I mean, you're You'll probably go through a few emotions.
I guess, are you able to feel any pride at
making another Olympic final or will that probably have to wait?
Speaker 8 (13:17):
No, I mean, I'm I'm proud of myself, proud of
the work I put in, proud of how I handled
everything leading up to this. Coach coaches back home, she
had to go, so that through a bit of a
spinner in the works, But you know, I really think
I dealt with it well. And it's not knowing of
the reason why everything's going wrong, but it sucks that,
(13:40):
you know, I can't she can't be here. I guess
to celebrate, I guess all the work we put in
regardless of the result. So yeah, I'm incredibly proud of myself. Yeah,
so much. Not much more to it really.
