daily update from the Vinical of Sport. This is Sports
Fix Paris twenty twenty four edition, powered by News Talks AB.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Hello and welcome into Sports Fix, the Paris twenty twenty
four edition. I'm Jason Pine. On Sunday, July twenty eighth.
We have had the first full date of competition at
Paris twenty twenty four. Let's start in the poll where
Erica Fairweather has just missed the medals in the women's
(00:57):
four hundred meter freestyle final.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
They turn for home. Let's look at the splits. Let's
see where Erica Fairweather is. She's gained a spot, She's
up to fifth. Has she got more to give? Can
she climb on the decade? Ledeckie in third looks to
be slowing. It's Tatmas's race. Has fear Weather got a kick?
Can she find enough to get her bronze medal? Tatmos
coming for home? It's her gold medal Arion Titmos. When's
(01:22):
gold and it's fourth for Erica Fairweather.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Yeah, Agonizing eric A fair Weather has finished fourth. Arian
Tiitmas of Australia winning gold ahead of Canada's Summer Macintosh.
Katie Ladecci of the United States was third. Erica Fairweather
admits she's a bit gutted.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Obviously, a little bit gutted to get fourth.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Nobody wants to be there.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
But I've done myself part. I mean, that was an
Olympic far and I just came forth in. He can't
complaign too much.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
It means New Zealand's twenty eight year medal drought in
swimming at the Olympics, stretching back to Daniel Loader's dual
golds at the nineteen ninety six Atlanta Games, goes on,
let's bring in Olympic lead for swimming New Zealand, Gary Francis,
Gary another twenty meters and Ire and Erica would probably
have gone on that bronze medal.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Yeah. I think you've You're exactly right, Jason. I think
that she just run out of run out of meters
at the end there. It was a very nervous final,
wasn't it. You know, the four fastest girls pretty much ever,
and none of them really swum anywhere near their best.
You could just see how tense it was. And yeah,
(02:33):
I think that she just she just didn't get close
enough in the in the middle part of the race.
Always knew that get to the last fifty seventy five meters.
And regardless of the fact that all the three other
girls actually have a faster two hundred and one hundred time
on paper than Erica, we know, we know the last
the last part of the race. She's very strong and
(02:53):
she came through again, but yeah, just a little bit
too much for her to do this time.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
How did you assist the way she swum in the
heat this morning? She got there ahead of some americantosh.
I know you always hold something back in a heat.
How did you assist her heat?
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Well, because the heat was that wasn't the last heat,
that it was the second, it was the first of
the two seeded heats. You can't afford to be too
complacent because you know four oh three made the final,
and you know they were four four oh two's. I
think the most important thing is to try to touch
(03:29):
the wall first, and to touch the wall first with
using the least amount of energy, and I think she
did that really well. She's found that beautifully this morning
and she certainly, you know, was she She felt really
good and she had plenty left, so we're really I mean,
she she did a really good job this morning and
(03:50):
she was ready to go tonight, and it just wasn't
quite enough.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
As you say, the star power though in those middle lanes,
four of the fastest women ever over four hundred meters,
four of five who have gone under four minutes for
this distance. But as you say, it's it's funny what
what occasion can do to people, because as you pointed out,
it wasn't really the perfect race from any of them,
was it.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
No, No, not at all. I think the race was
predictable in that we always know how Tipmas is going
to swim, she's going to gun it, and she's going
to try and destroy everybody in the first two hundred.
We weren't too sure how Macintosh would swim. She's you know,
she's she's done it in different ways in the past,
(04:32):
and we know that Katie Leadecki will also swim the
middle and the end part of the race strong. And
you know, Erica's job was just to be right in
there and not be in with a chance to swim
people down at the end, and she just wasn't quite
close enough. But it was it was really interesting to
see that the times were actually quite slow and four
(04:56):
minutes we've got a medal. And you know, it's just
that's sport at this level. It's not really no one
cares if you break the world record. It's about getting
the medal, isn't it. And in the end, tipmas And and
Macintosh were able to do that, and and Decky was
able to hold off Erica at the end. So always
(05:17):
lessons learned. But yeah, it was, it was. It was
a tough race.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
It must be hard to process for Erica as well.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
You know, obviously these pinnacle events are what you know,
our top athletes work their way towards. And we've arrived
here and she she hasn't quite been able to achieve
the goal that she set for herself.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
How do you assess her ability to process it?
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Obviously to be disappointed, But she's still got other events
to swim, hasn't she.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Well, I'll you know, I watched at the end of
the end of the race as she walked back past
myself and her coach Lars, and she was in tears.
Obviously she's very, very upset, but at the same time
she she her tears were tears of you know, a
mixture of this woman. But through frustration, she's gone back
to our team area. She's stripped into a her dogs
(06:09):
to swim down and she's already now starting to process.
She'll think about the swim. She wants to get back
into Paul tomorrow and try and do a better job
in the two hundred. So yeah, there'll be time to
reflect on this, but already now it's right, Okay, that
one didn't that one didn't work. I've got to get
on with it. I've got another race tomorrow. And she's
(06:30):
really you know, this is a sign of her maturity.
She's already starting to think about tomorrow. She can't dwell
on this for too long, just in the same way
that had she got the medal, we couldn't over celebrate it.
Go to get back in and get on with it.
So yeah, I mean it's a tough one to take,
but it's I think the fact that the rest of this,
(06:54):
you know, if they'd all swim around three fifty five,
maybe the world record had gone and Erica had gone
four oh one. I think she would have been like, well,
what's going on? You know, why did I swim so badly?
But I think that in the context of the race,
we can see that it was been a hell of
a lot of tension in the core room beforehand, and
again she went down to the core room, she was
in you know, she was in the right frame of mind.
(07:15):
But it just shows you at this level for all
of those swimmers, how it affected them.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Indeed, thanks for your time, Gary, appreciate it. We'll look
forward to the rest of the meet for Erica and
for New Zealand. That's Gary Francis, Olympic Lead for Swimming
New Zealand. The other two kiwis in action in the
pool on day one, Eve Thomas also in the four
hundred meter freestyle. She failed to qualify out of the heats,
and Hazel our Hand missed the semi finals. Just in

The big story of the Olympic Games. Today, FIFA have
made their decision on the drone spying scandal and they
haven't held back on Canada.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Canada have been deducted.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Six points, while three of their coaches, including head coach
Bev Priestemen, have been banned for a year after they
were found to twice have been spying on New Zealand
training sessions. Canada Soccer has also been fined almost four
hundred thousand dollars. FIFA found that Bev Prieseman and her
(08:27):
two assistants were each responsible for offensive behavior and violation
of the principles of fair play. Now there's been chat
about what happens to those points. Do they get awarded
to New Zealand the points that Canada got from beating
New Zealand the other day. Noah's the answer. New Zealand
do not pick up those points. Canada are deducted six points,
(08:50):
so effectively they start group play at minus six. They
get the three they got for the win over New Zealand,
so they're now at minus three. New Zealand stay on zero.
Disappointment too for the Ollie Whites footballers, is there's something.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
For New Zealand redo. He's put it in the back
of the net. Jesse Rand and New Zealand too have
a goal, Yeah, a consolation goal.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
New Zealand have been thumped for one by the USA
in their second fixture in Marseille. That is Jesse Randall
scoring a consolation goal. Their final pull match, which they
must win to progress to the quarterfinals, is against France
on Wednesday.

of their heats. Tokyo champion Emma Twigg won her heat
and the singles skulls to advance to the quarterfinals.
Speaker 7 (11:54):
As Emma Twig is going to come down to the
finish line just slowing down now, she doesn't have to
buster gut at this point, not in the heats, when
you're a good boat length and a half in front
of the second competitor who's just crossed, and that is
Uzbekistan Immitwek crosses in seven fifty four point ninety seven

The men's hockey team have opened their campaign with Reniel

till right near the end when a penalty stroke gave
India the win. Sam Lane and Simon Child scored New
Zealand's goals and twenty sixteen Rio silver medalist Luka Jones
has been fifteenth fastest in the heats of the K
(13:26):
one canoe slalom. This doesn't really matter. The best time
across the two heats is taken and twenty two of
the twenty five competitors go through to tomorrow's semi finals,
but Luca Jones would want to see a bit of
improvement in her times. Fifteenth fastest in the heats of
the K one Canoe Slalom.

How did you assist her heat?
