Becas Breakfast Bonus Podcast with Tony Jason Sam.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Hi, thanks for listening to our Breakfast Bonus podcast. Today
we're talking Olympics, but not just an Olympic sport, the
Olympic sport we love to watch.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
And I've just done a little tally up here. If
you google how many Olympic sports are there at Paris
twenty twenty four, you'll see it says forty two, but
actually these forty five. When you have several iterations of
specific sports.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Okay, K one hundred, K two hundred, they're all rowing.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Yes, so and like cycling, for example, you have BMX
as casts cycling, freestyle, BMX racing is another one, mountain biking,
road racing, and track. So that're all under cycles of cycling,
but all compete four separate medals. Of course. Sure, So
what we wanted to talk about today is what sport
(00:48):
do you enjoy watching the best? And when we say watch,
we mean on the tally because most of us don't
get to watch it in I actually, actually I don't
want to brag. I did watch the Olympics in person
and it was one of the greatest moments of my life.
Back in two thousand and eight in China, and I
was on the finish line when you saying Bolt, the
(01:10):
fastest man on the planet, broke the record for both
the one and the two hundred meters, And I will
always remember that right there. I was on the finish
line because I was in the mix sign for tvN's
and I got to interview him and I still can't
believe I got to do that.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
That's amazing.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Also there when the Jamaicans dropped the baton and should
have won the four by.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Heartbreak.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
It just fills you with such joy just to talk
to the athletes and to watch things.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I've heard that the opening ceremony For a lot of
people in this world, the opening ceremony is on the
bucket list. Like if you can go to any worldwide event,
go to an Olympics opening ceremony.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
That's amazing.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Oh, Jason, you're not going to go to the ceremony
over watching the sprinting though, are you? Like? Come on
watching an actual j Just come into this debate with
let's watch them walk around the track.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
On?
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Actually maybe that's your favorite sport to watch, is the walk?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Stop? Well, maybe the.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Athletics athletics walk. To be fair, It wouldn't be a
silly idea because the walks actually quite fascinating because because
they all get to a point, especially if it's hot,
where things start going awright and you're you're just there's
a lot of emotion making sure they get to the end.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Was that key we go Craig I can't remember, Craig
Craig bar and the crowd would come jump out trying
to help him up.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I believe that was at the Commonwealth Games. And remember
he got severely dehydrated and then this league started going
wonky and eventually fell into a ditch. It was just
absolutely heartbreaking. Producer Rosie's looking at me stunned. You need
to watch that because that is a great piece of
sporting history for New Zealand.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
It's iconic.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
It's a big moment in New Zealand sports history for me, though,
if you don't love watching. For me, it's always been
rowing for some reason, especially the long ones, because they
started with the hurst of the rule and they paced
themselves out. This could go either way, and the boat's
nudge ahead of each other.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
The nudging is really cool. I take your rowing and
I raise you to gymnastics. Gymnasts dicks is phenomenal, especially
when and the thing it's so weird is the good
test is is it a sport that you want to
watch when New Zealand's not competing. And let's be honest,
we don't often have gymnasts, that's right, right. What was
our famous one called Nicki Jenkins?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
But she was the nineteen ninety Commonworth Games. She was
pulled again, yeah, the last minute she pulled in then
won a medal.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yeah, and then there was on the world stayed Nadia
common Ichi.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
And now I want to watch to watch Simon Biles,
the US Superstar. But what I like about the gym
is there's such variety. So if you watch them do
the one I don't know the correct term, but where
they go, and they do a whole lot of events.
So you watch them on the vault. Then you watch
the same people do the bars, the uneven bars, and
they'll be on the beam and they have to get
(03:44):
a collection of scores to get the overall and often
it'll be competing for a team and there'll be one
member of the team that just falls off and then
they lose the medal for the whole team.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
It's just devastating on those beams.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Always freak out because that looks really and I know
they practice and practice and practice, but I can't really
watch because I cringe too much.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Wrong, pretty scary bars, the bars around there is a
specific move on the bars that they had to they
outlook their banded too dangerous because it was so so dangerous.
And then there's the what about the horse? Watching those
men on the horse, you know where they go.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
On the rings, the rings, try to do the rings
too hard.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I can't even hang off. I was with my son
the other day at a playground and all he wanted
me to do was go along a rail holding on
and I my arms were so weak I dropped off halfway.
Pathetic anyway, So we've got gym, so that's high on
that app on the scale. What about track and field?
Speaker 4 (04:45):
I don't mind you the spraining one. I like those ones,
and even the.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Eight meters is great to watch.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Yeah, but the discuss in the shot put, like we've
always been quite dominant in the shot put over thee
and you see these amazing distances people are throwing anything.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
You will wait for the key. We wait for the keywiss.
And then what.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
About when there is an event and we're out of
the medals and they've got one throw and then it
puts them into the meddles. Yeah, moments are amazing.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Jeffn always freaks me out because I worry about people
standing in the field because you see too many things
go wrong for those four people sitting in the.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
White coats so bad.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I'm looking through here. I mean, if Sam was here,
he would say, beach volleyball for obvious reasons. It's a
beautiful game, isn't it. You're still in the there the
one to put to you. Diving. Oh yeah, that's fun
to watch, especially the synchronized diving.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Oh that's incredible. Yeah. Do you remember again, go back
to the Commonwealth.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Games that you're going to talk about the guy that
waked his hit on the board Greek lu gainness.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Oh no, but yeah, it's good knowledge for you.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Yeah. Yeah, So he bleed into the pool.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
That's another great piece of footage, producer Rosie to what.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
He waked here and he's bleeding to the pool.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Anyway, back in nineteen ninety the Commonwealth Games England brought
out their divers here and one of the guys started diving.
He was everyone who's this guy. He's really good and
he quit diving to become an actor. Jason Stathan. He
was a diver.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
He's got a good body too, it's a good physique.
I'm going to throw some other sports at you kind
of what about weightlifting?
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Yeah, I don't mind that, but again it's it's over
too fast.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
But what about when they when their knee buckles? Yeah,
and sends us those videos all the time, so bad. Okay,
here's another new sport, surfing. We're going to be able
to watch that from Tahiti.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Looking forward to that, yep.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
And what's another one skateboarding? Skateboarding? Yeah, and the probably
the most exciting, and I've seen this only clips on
the news, sport climbing sports when they go up like
Spider Man and sport climber going. So I'm quite excited
to watch that. I also I'm a bit of a
traditionalist as well. I like watching the good old triathlon,
(06:48):
just the rubb and swim and the bike.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Yeah, there's there's a lot of skill in there.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Also because maybe it's because I like the game anyway,
but like for rugby sevens and things, how quick those
tournaments are this time this year they'll be have that
at the Olympics. I'll have like rugby is going to
be one of those sevens of the Olympics. So I'm
looking forward to that because I know that we've got
some high profile kiwi's there, especially Portia woman. It'll be
her last games, so they want to make a statement.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
And I like, what do I like watching the team
sport too, But I think we can all agree today
that the Olympics is where the individuals get to fly, right,
the individual sports, because we get to see the rugby,
that all of those team sports on a big stage
for World Cups. But when do we ever get to
see our sport climber? Never? So this is their time
(07:29):
to shine.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Right three in the morning, but it'll be worth it.
