Speaker 1 (02:20):
Media Olympic Games Fix, We've got just a ticket here.
It's Sports Fix Paris twenty twenty four edition My News
Talk z B.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
For some reaction and a bit of analysis on that
sevens final and the gold medal that New Zealand have one.
Let's bring in former international and rugby and rugby league
and sevens rugby. Honey, how did me smiling now an
analyst with Sky Sport, of course, honey, did it always
feel like gold?
Speaker 4 (02:45):
We are nervous at all during that final?
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Oh look after that semifinal, I was I was pretty
nervous and yeah, just unreal. I just I just thought
it was such a good game, and I'm really proud
of Canada to get pushed through, but that that USA
semifinal man on the edge of my bed and then
I couldn't go back to sleep. I was staying to
like tall to the r finals.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
What is it about this team that they can just
find a way to win big games? You know, year
after year, Olympics after Olympics. There's just something special going
on here, isn't there.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Yeah, I think it's it's been a big part of
their culture for a number of years. But you know,
they talk really a lot about the sisterhood and that's
absolutely what it is. And I just thought there was
so many moments in that game where they just gave
everything for the for the system next to them, and
that was just that shone through. You know, when they're
(03:41):
right up against it, you get it, you're playing a
player down, everything's not going your way, but you still
find that that one defense to just keep digging in.
And that's that's been them and that's whether it's the
first game of the tournament or the last, it does
not matter. That's just how they operate. That's ingrained in
the culture of the Black FOM seven I.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Mean seven is hard. It's hard with seven to you know,
to defend an entire rugby pitch anyway, isn't it down
to six for a couple of minutes a heck of
a lot tougher. What sort of spirit and resilience does
that show that they were able to do that when
they were down to six?
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Yeah, I think for me, I was so impressed defensively
with the black Men seven throughout the tournament. When we
know that they've got strike power across the board with
the like the MICHAELA. Blyde, Porsche Woodman, Recippodi Lane, Stacy Wiker,
all of those girls, they can score tries with their
eyes closed. But defensively, I thought that there was a
real shift in the way that they were playing that
(04:36):
were chop tackling, getting straight back up on their feet.
The intensity was there and they never dropped off, and
I just thought that that's where I saw them really
backing up for each other. You know, there was moments
where we had two three in the tackle, but they'd
get strapped back on their feet and get back into
the line right because it's just such a quick recycled ball.
So I was just blowing away.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah, unreal and Porscha Woodman Wickliffe now leaves obviously after
you know, a storied career, a generational player. Are you
able to could somehow articulate what her legacy will be.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
Oh? Look, she's you know, been the face of woman's
rugby worldwide for many years. And you know what I
love about Porsche. She's just been humble all the way through,
and she's always been one to bring people along with her.
You know, she's always been about mentoring and inspiring young people,
but also having to do the work in the background,
(05:32):
and she's had to overcome a number of challenges throughout
her career, but just the way she's done it with
so much mana. I mean mana is one word that
I suppose just epitomizes what Porsche is all about. And
just so proud of her as well as Tyler King.
You know, she's hanging up times in her sevens boots.
She'll probably play on in another code. Obviously she's headed
(05:54):
to another code, but you know, those those ladies have
just you know, put woman's rugby and New Zealand woman's
rugby on the map in turns of internationally.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
I certainly have, and so Silver Rio, Golden Tokyo, Golden Paris.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Does this continue?
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Do you think, honey, are there are there the next
wave of players coming through who can who can start
to look to emulate this team in the next Olympic cycle.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Oh, one hundred percent pointy. When you look at the
age of those players out there, they've got another three
Olympics in them. Georgia Miller, for example, she's only just
turned twenty. You know she's gonna she's probably gonna, like you,
plan another two or three Olympics and get herself some
more gold medals. I mean, that kid is just a
freak of nature. But that's what you're getting through the
system at the moment is all these these young, amazing
(06:43):
athletes that can catch, past tackle, you know, their power, pace, speed, everything,
They've got all the attributes and they're just and they're
fostering it so well here in New Zealand. I think
that we will lead the way in terms of women's
rugby for many years to come.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Thanks, honey, honey, hell doe me smile.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Their exciting times today and by the sounds of it,
exciting times in the future for our women's sevens program.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Sports Vegs Paris twenty twenty four editions, so.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
A very good end to the day, but not such
a good start to the day. Triathletes at the Paris
Olympics woke to the news the men's try had been
postponed due to poor water quality in the river. Sen
Hayden Wild and Dilan McCulloch are in the men's triathlon.
Hayden Wild a massive metal chants originally set for six
o'clock Tuesday, New Zealand Times six pm, the try has
(07:35):
now been delayed until eight forty five tonight Wednesday, and
it will happen straight after the women's event, which will
go at six, so six o'clock for the women, eight
forty five for the men. Paris twenty twenty four. In
World Triathlon have reiterated their priority is the health of
the athletes and the test showed unsuccessful bacteria levels. The
(07:59):
original contingency plan is Friday and that also remains in
play now. Try and Z CEO Peter Dewett, shortly after
the post bonment noticed with Darcy water Grave and said
the water quality has been a concern for a while.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
That's always been in the back of my mind as
far as preparation is concerned, and certainly from an athlete's perspective,
they've been aware of that as well, and excuse the
pun had to remain fluid as well. So I think,
you know, yeah, it's not an ideal situation, but you know,
it's not like we've woken up this morning and gone,
oh my god, we didn't see this coming.
Speaker 8 (08:37):
How do the athletes cope with this? That they know
what's coming and they know what's happening, and plainly that
the women haven't been delayed as yet, but the men,
what space are they in to actually be at their
best when they thought it was going to be like
six o'clock south of New Zealand time, but they're going
to move it out twenty four hours. Is that problematic
for these athletes?
Speaker 7 (08:57):
Not necessarily. I mean, we've got a resilient bunch, to
be fair, and you know, like I said that, they
were aware that this could be a reality. I think
that they will probably be surprised with the fact that
it's been moved to tomorrow after the women's event, because
the second of August was always pendrilled in as a
day where we would have the event moved too. Should
(09:18):
it be postponed so I think what we'll try trying
to do is give themselves a couple of more options
by having the men go after the women tomorrow and
then still has the day on the second of August
as a follow up reserve day as well.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
That's Peter de wet tryin zed CEO.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
SO organizers will hold a meeting at three point thirty
am local time to decide whether one or both of
the women's and men's races will proceed today into the equation.
There is a storm warning for Paris at the moment,
and weather like that will not do anything for the
water quality in the scene, so we wait and see Sports.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Figs Paris twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Edition, Too Much Clearer Water. The rowing quarterfinals for our
single scollars Emma Twig and the women's.
Speaker 9 (10:09):
Emma Twig leaving the field in her wake. As she
heads down to the finish line, she'll be crossing in
first spot in her quarterfinal, a boat length and a
half in front of the young Swiss Aralia Jansen. Twig
crosses seven twenty six point eight.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Nine, so she's into the Seames. Tom McIntosh then and
the men's single skulls quarters.
Speaker 9 (10:33):
And it's Thomas McIntosh from New Zealand looking the goods,
rowing powerfully as he heads down to the end, Drew
missing a bit, keeping the opposition in front of him,
So McIntosh is first.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
So well done to the single scullers.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Then we had the semifinals and the double skulls, the
top three through to the final. First our women's double,
Lucy Spores and Brook Francis.
Speaker 9 (10:55):
New Zealand and the Netherlands battling it out for prime position.
As they come down to the line, the New Zealand
bower ball is still just out in front of the Netherlands.
New Zealand crossing now in first spot. Brook Francis and
Lucy Spores home in first position and qualifying for the
A Final. In the women's double skulls.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
And the men's double, kiwi's Robbie Manson and Jordan Powry.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
New Zealand now back into second place. Great finish from
Robbie Manson and Jordan Powry. Down to the line they
come Island first, USA. I think I've just pipped New Zealand,
but New Zealand third boat home and that's what you
needed to achieve. In the semifinal of the men's double,
skulls to make it into the A final and the
(11:41):
boys have done it.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Yeah, well done.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Indeed, both our men's and women's double scullers will row
for medals just after nine on Thursday night.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Every Golden limit from the Olympic emes is Sports figs
Paris twenty twenty four editions.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Unfortunately they join the pool for New Zealand today. Cameron
Gray in the one hundred free style, Eve Thomas in
the fifteen hundred free style and Lewis Claibert in the
two hundred butterfly all unable to progress out of their heats.
Here's cleverert Clevert got up to seven in the end,
will check his time one fifty seven one two, a
(12:16):
second and a half outside his personal best. So that
wasn't enough, Lowis Claire Bert after his heat in the
two hundred fly.
Speaker 10 (12:23):
I was pretty slow, if be honest, one fifty seven.
It's weird because I can. I can pump out those times,
just you know, going easy on a regular day, but
for some reason just in't pop today and in the
last couple of days. So you're not one hundred in
sure what's going on, but yeah, just the way it is.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Sports Fix Paras twenty twenty four edition.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
In the sailing, there was a special moment in race
three of the men's windsurfing for Josh Armit.
Speaker 11 (12:46):
Well the New Zealand to hold on in the sprint
straight to the finish line. Barring a mistake, it should
be the New Zealander with victory in this third men's
IQ foil race, senators Josh Armatt of New Zealand holding
off some very successful wind foilers for a race win.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
It's its tenth after six of sixteen racers. Meantime, Villa
ten Halve is sixteenth after seven of seventeen races in
the women's windsurfing. In the men's skiff, Isaac McCarty and
William McKenzie had an eleventh and eighteenth and a seventeenth.
They sit third with three more races tomorrow before Friday's
metal race and the women's skiff. For much better day
(13:23):
for Joe La and Molly Meach who have registered a third,
a second and a first. They are up to eighth overall.
Heartbreak for Kiwi shooter Owen Robinson, finishing one successful shot
outside qualifying for a shoot off for the final. In
the men's trap, Robinson had finished and outright or has
finished and outright eleventh after a perfect fifty from fifty.
(13:46):
On the final day of qualifying, he came ever so close.
Games debut on Finn Butcher producing an outstanding first run
in the Kayak single canoe slalom through gate eighteen without
a problem and now nineteen just the one upstream gate
left tips down and.

the line away he goes Finn Butcher and what a
wonderful time for Finn Butcher.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Eighty six three five e leads.
Speaker 3 (14:15):

semifinals without a doubt. He did his score of eighty
six to three to five and Butcher saw him qualifying
seventh place for the twenty paddler semifinal. On Friday morning,
the Black Sticks have gone down two nil to Argentina
in their latest match and the Only Whites football campaign

It's Sports Fix Paris twenty twenty four edition My News

Speaker 3 (02:29):
For some reaction and a bit of analysis on that
sevens final and the gold medal that New Zealand have one.
Let's bring in former international and rugby and rugby league
and sevens rugby. Honey, how did me smiling now an
analyst with Sky Sport, of course, honey, did it always
feel like gold?
Speaker 4 (02:45):
We are nervous at all during that final?
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Oh look after that semifinal, I was I was pretty
nervous and yeah, just unreal. I just I just thought
it was such a good game, and I'm really proud
of Canada to get pushed through, but that that USA
semifinal man on the edge of my bed and then
I couldn't go back to sleep. I was staying to
like tall to the r finals.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
What is it about this team that they can just
find a way to win big games? You know, year
after year, Olympics after Olympics. There's just something special going
on here, isn't there.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Yeah, I think it's it's been a big part of
their culture for a number of years. But you know,
they talk really a lot about the sisterhood and that's
absolutely what it is. And I just thought there was
so many moments in that game where they just gave
everything for the for the system next to them, and
that was just that shone through. You know, when they're
(03:41):
right up against it, you get it, you're playing a

And that's that's been them and that's whether it's the
first game of the tournament or the last, it does
not matter. That's just how they operate. That's ingrained in
the culture of the Black FOM seven I.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Mean seven is hard. It's hard with seven to you know,
to defend an entire rugby pitch anyway, isn't it down
to six for a couple of minutes a heck of
a lot tougher. What sort of spirit and resilience does
that show that they were able to do that when
they were down to six?
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Yeah, I think for me, I was so impressed defensively
with the black Men seven throughout the tournament. When we
know that they've got strike power across the board with
the like the MICHAELA. Blyde, Porsche Woodman, Recippodi Lane, Stacy Wiker,
all of those girls, they can score tries with their

get strapped back on their feet and get back into

So I was just blowing away.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah, unreal and Porscha Woodman Wickliffe now leaves obviously after
you know, a storied career, a generational player. Are you
able to could somehow articulate what her legacy will be.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
Oh? Look, she's you know, been the face of woman's

love about Porsche. She's just been humble all the way through,

just so proud of her as well as Tyler King.
You know, she's hanging up times in her sevens boots.
She'll probably play on in another code. Obviously she's headed
(05:54):
to another code, but you know, those those ladies have
just you know, put woman's rugby and New Zealand woman's
rugby on the map in turns of internationally.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
I certainly have, and so Silver Rio, Golden Tokyo, Golden Paris.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Does this continue?
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Do you think, honey, are there are there the next
wave of players coming through who can who can start
to look to emulate this team in the next Olympic cycle.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Oh, one hundred percent pointy. When you look at the
age of those players out there, they've got another three
Olympics in them. Georgia Miller, for example, she's only just
turned twenty. You know she's gonna she's probably gonna, like you,
plan another two or three Olympics and get herself some

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Sports Vegs Paris twenty twenty four editions, so.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
A very good end to the day, but not such
a good start to the day. Triathletes at the Paris

then still has the day on the second of August
as a follow up reserve day as well.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
That's Peter de wet tryin zed CEO.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
SO organizers will hold a meeting at three point thirty
am local time to decide whether one or both of
the women's and men's races will proceed today into the equation.
There is a storm warning for Paris at the moment,
and weather like that will not do anything for the
water quality in the scene, so we wait and see Sports.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Figs Paris twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Edition, Too Much Clearer Water. The rowing quarterfinals for our
single scollars Emma Twig and the women's.
Speaker 9 (10:09):
Emma Twig leaving the field in her wake. As she
heads down to the finish line, she'll be crossing in
first spot in her quarterfinal, a boat length and a
half in front of the young Swiss Aralia Jansen. Twig
crosses seven twenty six point eight.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Nine, so she's into the Seames. Tom McIntosh then and
the men's single skulls quarters.
Speaker 9 (10:33):
And it's Thomas McIntosh from New Zealand looking the goods,
rowing powerfully as he heads down to the end, Drew
missing a bit, keeping the opposition in front of him,
So McIntosh is first.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
So well done to the single scullers.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Then we had the semifinals and the double skulls, the
top three through to the final. First our women's double,
Lucy Spores and Brook Francis.
Speaker 9 (10:55):
New Zealand and the Netherlands battling it out for prime position.
As they come down to the line, the New Zealand
bower ball is still just out in front of the Netherlands.
New Zealand crossing now in first spot. Brook Francis and
Lucy Spores home in first position and qualifying for the
A Final. In the women's double skulls.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
And the men's double, kiwi's Robbie Manson and Jordan Powry.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
New Zealand now back into second place. Great finish from
Robbie Manson and Jordan Powry. Down to the line they
come Island first, USA. I think I've just pipped New Zealand,
but New Zealand third boat home and that's what you
needed to achieve. In the semifinal of the men's double,
skulls to make it into the A final and the
(11:41):
boys have done it.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Yeah, well done.
Speaker 3 (11:43):

Speaker 3 (11:56):
Unfortunately they join the pool for New Zealand today. Cameron
Gray in the one hundred free style, Eve Thomas in
the fifteen hundred free style and Lewis Claibert in the
two hundred butterfly all unable to progress out of their heats.
Here's cleverert Clevert got up to seven in the end,
will check his time one fifty seven one two, a
(12:16):
second and a half outside his personal best. So that
wasn't enough, Lowis Claire Bert after his heat in the
two hundred fly.
Speaker 10 (12:23):
I was pretty slow, if be honest, one fifty seven.
It's weird because I can. I can pump out those times,
just you know, going easy on a regular day, but
for some reason just in't pop today and in the
last couple of days. So you're not one hundred in
sure what's going on, but yeah, just the way it is.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
In the sailing, there was a special moment in race
three of the men's windsurfing for Josh Armit.
Speaker 11 (12:46):
Well the New Zealand to hold on in the sprint
straight to the finish line. Barring a mistake, it should
be the New Zealander with victory in this third men's
IQ foil race, senators Josh Armatt of New Zealand holding
off some very successful wind foilers for a race win.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
It's its tenth after six of sixteen racers. Meantime, Villa
ten Halve is sixteenth after seven of seventeen races in
the women's windsurfing. In the men's skiff, Isaac McCarty and
William McKenzie had an eleventh and eighteenth and a seventeenth.

metal race and the women's skiff. For much better day
(13:23):
for Joe La and Molly Meach who have registered a third,
a second and a first. They are up to eighth overall.
Heartbreak for Kiwi shooter Owen Robinson, finishing one successful shot
outside qualifying for a shoot off for the final. In
the men's trap, Robinson had finished and outright or has
finished and outright eleventh after a perfect fifty from fifty.
(13:46):
On the final day of qualifying, he came ever so close.
