Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Fitzy and Whipper with Kate Richie podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Let's talk about Gergat if you've just woken up this morning.
Gergat unfortunately finished fourth and he's two hundred meter semi
at the World Championships Athletics in Tokyo last night, so
he doesn't go through to the final. His time was
twenty point three six. Now, he'd be disappointed with that
because he's run under twenty before. That was wind assisted,
but he looked for a seventeen year old kid to

(00:26):
put that into.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Perspective for everyone out there right world stage.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Usain Bolt Helsinki in two thousand and five. Now, Usain
Bolt was two weeks out from his nineteenth birthday, so
he was eighteen seventeen, right, and he finished fourth in
his semifinal. Usain Bolt with a time of twenty point six' eight,
so gout he's actually quicker than him at.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
The moment's comparison, Like you just what we don't understand.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
There's a lot of Australians thinking that his kid's going
to win gold medal, but like he's just got so
much more to go and it's exciting. Can I just
talk about I didn't know this story. But do you
know at the Olympics sometimes there's always a runner that
and you know it's in the swimming as well, with

(01:17):
Eddie the Eeld, Remember Eddie, there's always one runner that's Eric.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Was Eric or Eddie? It was? He was the Winter
Olympics guy, the jumper. Yeah, what was he? Jackman stars
in the film.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
It's a great film, by the way.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
So and I've always thought to myself, don't you have
to qualify with the time to actually compete.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
At the Olympics.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
Of course you do, but I think you just need
to be the best on offer, best of a bunch,
best out of your nation to represent because you can't block.
It's a great question fits because you think the category
is going to allow on the top at due to
a certain time or speed.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Yeah, well it's okay. There's one. There was a Somalian
woman who competed in the one hundred meters sprint on
the world stage.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
And this is the thing.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Everyone's going unbelievable that she's out there, this is crazy.
But unfortunately, when you run twenty one seconds in the
one hundred meters, you actually finished ten seconds behind the.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Leaders in your race. People have to ask questions.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
There have been questions, asks, and unfortunately they've found out
that the chair the chairwoman of Somalia's Athletics Federation, has
just given the spot to her niece so she can
have a free trip away. Is she the fastest?

Speaker 1 (02:48):

Speaker 2 (02:50):
She's nowhere near the but not fastest in the world,
but fastest from that group.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
No, you know, like from the country or the athletics
depart What a moment though, where they sat down and
went if you can just run the look, it's going
to be fine.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
You have a crack at that week and organize the
free flights.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
Could I run one hundred meters in twenty one seconds?

Speaker 1 (03:11):

things start on.
