Speaker 5 (00:36):
Hello and welcome into the Sports Box Podcast Paris twenty
twenty four edition. It is Tuesday, the sixth of August.
I'm Jason Pinehead to wrap Day ten of action at
the Paris Olympic Games and another golden moment for New Zealand.
Speaker 6 (00:51):
Our gold medalist at Paris twenty twenty four, a living champion.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Butcher, Effinn Butcher. Here's how Keewey Padler. Fin Butcher claimed
New Zealand third gold medal of these Games.
Speaker 7 (01:10):
Just as to navigate it safely and the gold medal
is his. Finn Butcher is an Olympic champion. Can you
believe it? Carve his name into New Zealand sport history?
The Butcher delivers the goods in Paris.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
Outstanding gold from Nick Beierley. The Dunedin debutante has won
the kayak Cross and Finn Butcher is with us. Finn, congratulations,
How do you feel and how does that gold medal
feel around your neck?
Speaker 8 (01:48):
Oh? No, it's absolutely crazy. Oh it's pretty special. Like
we've got friends and family here watching, they've been here
the whole time, so in real way, and it's pretty heavy,
to be honest.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Well, it's like it's something you probably only imagined up
till this point. Now you actually get to feel the
weight of it. Talk us through the final and it
seemed to go perfectly. How did you How did you
assist it?
Speaker 9 (02:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (02:14):
I mean I think I was in like sort of
the a less than desirable lane in lane three, and yeah,
I just kind of managed to get a good slide
down the ramp and then saw some almost a bit
of clear water out in front of me, So I
think the other guys on the other side had a
(02:35):
small tussle, which just gave me a couple of strokes
of of space, and then yeah, I could just rep
into it from there. I sort of almost didn't really
believe that i'd got out quick enough or got out
in first place. So yeah, just take it when you
(02:57):
get it, and yeah, try to hold onto that lead
for the rest of it.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
So when you when you're swinging back upstream to go
around the upstream gates, does that give you a good
opportunity to check out where the other guys are? Yeah,
yeah it does.
Speaker 8 (03:09):
I mean, like the first one's right beside the roll zone,
so all right after the roll zone, so as I
was rolling, I sort of saw that there was no one,
there was a little bit of space going crazy. There's
a little bit of space behind me, and I knew
that I could execute my upstream kind of by myself.
(03:32):
And then you know, I could feel Joe the British
guy just breathing down my neck the whole way down
all the middle section, but luckily just kept enough space
that I could do the same on the last one.
And then as I turned and saw them a little
bit above me, then I could. Yeah, basically I knew
that it was locked up and I just honestly couldn't
(03:55):
believe it.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
So yeah, and your pedal down your cross in first place? Euphoria,
What is it? And what are you feeling? Man?
Speaker 8 (04:03):
Yeah? Yeah, just Youphouria. I'm so stoked, like to just
kind of look around after that after that upstream and
just be like is this actually and like, you know,
like I've got friends and family here and I could
hear them just screaming at the top of their lungs.
And then all my friends on the on the bank,
(04:25):
who you know, like all the athletes or support staff
who could get into the middle of the of the
course we're running down as well, and man it was
it was pretty earpic and such a good feeling. And
then to see my coach Aaron at the end as well,
like we've been on a serious journey, so pretty cool
we could get that one done.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
At what point during the competition did you think he
might be a middle chance? I'm talking about the whole
competition here.
Speaker 8 (04:52):
All at the start before we started. Yeah, yeah, like
I think, I mean at the start of this year,
the start of the season. I got two medals at
the first World Cup, so one in slalom and then
one across as well, so you know, I've I known
I I can. I can get it done if you know,
if I execute things well. And then we've been training
(05:14):
really well in Paris as well, and I was a
bit disappointed after the after the Slalan to bow out
in the semi final with a with a mist gate
fifty second penalty, So yeah, I just managed to reset well.
And then I think all the work we've been putting
in men Aaron and I and then also the rest
of the support team on getting a bit stronger, faster
(05:37):
and nailing the start technically, I think that really paid
off because for a lot of the rounds being out
in front and away from the from the mess it was,
it really paid dividends.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
So yeah, the minor wave at the top talk us through.
Speaker 8 (05:53):
That, I don't know, it's just a bit of a
shout out to you run at home. I guess.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I did it.
Speaker 8 (06:01):
I was doing it earlier in the season and obviously
we don't have as many eyes on us at the
World Cup. So yeah, when I it out in the
first round, I got quite a few people message me
loving that. So couldn't go away from something that was working.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
Well, brilliant and just to finish, mate, you know your
life's going to change now, right, You know you probably
could have walked down the street and not be recognized.
It won't be that way when you get back home.
Speaker 8 (06:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, who knows. I mean, it's it's
crazy to me, but we'll wait and see it.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Enjoy the moment, Finn, thanks so much for the chat mate.
Everyone back here absolutely delighted.
Speaker 8 (06:35):
Congratulations beautiful mate, Thank you very much.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Good on your enjoy Finn Butcher. Our latest gold medalist
at Paris twenty twenty four, Luca Jones finished fifth and
the women's kayak cross. She crossed second in the semi final,
but was judged to have missed the gate and was
demoted to fourth, meaning she missed the final Leadian Olympic Games.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Fix. We've got just a ticket here, it's Sports Fix
Paris twenty twenty four edition.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
News Talk said, be so golden the kayak cross and
another medal at the track cycling. The women's team sprint
of Rebecca Pitch, Sean Fulton and Elise Andrews raced Great
Britain for gold.
Speaker 9 (07:14):
Coming up to the five and a meter markt Britain
and Britain are front now by point two six six
of a second. Can Alise Andrews bring this back in
the final lap? Here she comes around against him a Finnercaine.
It's all on and coming through to the finish. Now
is Britain in front and Britain hold it. Britain have
held it great Britain the gold medaland forty five point
one eight six and New Zealand just slightly behind with
(07:37):
the Leise Andrews, but they take the silver medal.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
They do Britain pipping New Zealand for gold by point
four to seven three of a second. Here's Elise Andrews.
Speaker 10 (07:44):
I think it's hard to put that into words right now.
I think this whole experience has been amazing this first
eight of the Games and it's quite overwhelming. I feel
to have this medal around our next I think we
just need a little bit of time to really process
what we've done today.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
But it's incredible, so well done. Silver to the women's
team sprint. Aaron Gate, Keegan Hornblow, Tom Sexton and Campbell
Stewart have clopped the sixth best time in the qualified
round of the team pursuit, but unfortunately that means they
can't race for silver or gold.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Sports Figs Paris twenty twenty four editions.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
The day started with Kiwi triathletes Hayden Wild and Ainsley
Thorpe revealing they suffered bacterial sickness after their individual races
at the Paris Olympics. Thorpe's about was so severe. She
was bedridden for a day and nearly had to give
up her spot in the mixed team relay to reserve
Bria Roderick. The water quality and the river seen the
location of the swim leg of the triathlon has been
(08:38):
the source of major controversy throughout the last week. Once
the race started, there was drama involving Hayden Wild in
the early stages.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
Oh, there's been trouble at the back and it might
be Hayden Wild. Oh no, our camera has missed it.
But Hayden Wild and Francis Pierre LeCour have dipped right
back here on the final stages.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Yeah, leading off for the New Zealand quartet, Wild had
a fall late in his bike legs.
Speaker 11 (09:03):
Disaster, got back up to the group and was coming
around the last bends, got pushed out of my line
a bit and for the line that I had to recorrect,
I was going too fast and then the front wheel
just slipped out.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Was included me taking other French as well, so.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
The key We team eventually finishing fourteenth in the Mixed
team's relay.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Sportsfix Paris twenty twenty four.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Edition to the Track and Field Eliza McCartney Immaginieris and
Olivia McTaggart will all contest the final of the women's
pole vault on Thursday morning. Eliza McCartney cleared four fifty
five on her second attempt to secure her place in
the top twelve.
Speaker 12 (09:37):
And it's around the color base a lot sooner than
I'm expeping.
Speaker 8 (09:40):
I'm really ready to go out here and jump four
seventy today, so that was a good expected this and right.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Now you're not really short the thing.
Speaker 13 (09:47):
But I know I need to just guess, get back
over my recovery to make sure that I'm ready for
two days time because it's going to.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Be a massive position in the twenty five and twelve twenty.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Women in the Fatal Imaginaris and Olivia McTaggart both missed
all three attempts at four to fifty five, but they
both made the final on accountback, which will now comprise
twenty pole vol is, not the usual twelve. Here's Olivia mctaggartt.
Speaker 12 (10:11):
It's such roller coaster. I had two goals going into
this competition. One of them was to give it everything.
The other one was to make an Olympic final. To
be honest, I think I only got one of them,
and that was to make an Olympic final. So I'm
gonna use the second one and do that for the final.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
And how did Imagineris feel she vaulted today.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
That's the best competition I've put together all season, apart
from whin the bar when up to fifty five, but
I managed to get away with it.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
But jumps at twenty.
Speaker 8 (10:36):
And forty like, I felt really good, the tracks really fast,
poles are rolling, so it's really exciting for the final.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
So the women's po final Thursday morning with all three
kiwis involved and a very special moment in the memes
pole vault?
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Can this twenty three year old send Sar de France
into absolute euphoria? Amr who Planters of Sweden to break
the world record and he's done it.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Six points two five.
Speaker 14 (11:04):
Meters sensational, just less then to start to France out
oman to Plantis of Sweden has stolen the show.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Every golden movement from the Olympic Games.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
It's sports figs Paris twenty twenty four editions with Jason Vine.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Staying at start. The France Connor Bell has agonizingly missed
the twelve man final in the men's discus. The Kiwi's
best throw of sixty two point eight eight meters was
exactly the same as twelfth placed some Morn thrower Alex Rose,
but Rose went through by virtue of a bigger second throw.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
Someone had to be thirties. But to go out throwing
how I threw, Oh, it's tough, you know, like there's
definitely more in the tank. I was just missing the
flights and not hitting the disc as well as I
as I wanted to be hitting them, And yeah, that's
kind of all I really can say.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
It sucks.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Jordy Beamish, meantime, became the first New Zealander to compete
in the three thousand meters steeplechase at Olympic level since
Los Angeles in nineteen eighty four, but could only manage
seventh in his heat to miss out on the final
to the sailing. Michael Wilkinson and Erica Dawson are in
metal contention in the NAKRA the mixed multi hole class.
They sit third with three races to go tomorrow before
(12:21):
the metal race. Sarah Tedslav has registered a personal best
of eight point thirty nine seconds in the qualification stage
of the speed climbing, but she came up against a
very formidable opponent, the pole Alexandra Kaluka. In the elimination
heats away she.
Speaker 15 (12:37):
Goes and Gluga of Poland well in front of Tedslav,
who's just steady and sure, but Kluko crashes it at
six point sixty five and there's a test lab eight
point four one, so just outside that personal best that
she set in the opening rounds. The opening heats Sarah Tedslav,
but so that will likely rule her out of the competition,
(13:00):
and it did.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Indeed, that was intense.
Speaker 13 (13:02):
We had a little bit of a delay when we started,
so that kind of shook things up a bit. And
then this is like the loudest crowd I've ever climbed
in front of, and they were dead silent when we started,
so I could hear myself breathing and it was just
really freaking in a bit spooky. So that first run
was very shaky for me, and then the next two
(13:24):
were pretty good. You always went a little bit more.
The second one was a Oceania record by point zero one.
Speaker 7 (13:32):
So we take the wins.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
Yeah, World done to Sarah Tess laugh on her Olympic
debut and Kiwei wrestler Taylor Ford has lost her first
round bout in the sixty eight kilogram division to French
third seed Cumba Laroque.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Sportsfex Paris twenty twenty four edition.

both made the final on accountback, which will now comprise
twenty pole vol is, not the usual twelve. Here's Olivia mctaggartt.
Speaker 12 (10:11):
It's such roller coaster. I had two goals going into
this competition. One of them was to give it everything.
The other one was to make an Olympic final. To
be honest, I think I only got one of them,
and that was to make an Olympic final. So I'm
gonna use the second one and do that for the final.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
And how did Imagineris feel she vaulted today.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
That's the best competition I've put together all season, apart
from whin the bar when up to fifty five, but
I managed to get away with it.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
But jumps at twenty.
Speaker 8 (10:36):
And forty like, I felt really good, the tracks really fast,
poles are rolling, so it's really exciting for the final.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
So the women's po final Thursday morning with all three
kiwis involved and a very special moment in the memes
pole vault?
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Can this twenty three year old send Sar de France
into absolute euphoria? Amr who Planters of Sweden to break
the world record and he's done it.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Six points two five.
Speaker 14 (11:04):
Meters sensational, just less then to start to France out
oman to Plantis of Sweden has stolen the show.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Every golden movement from the Olympic Games.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
It's sports figs Paris twenty twenty four editions with Jason Vine.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Staying at start. The France Connor Bell has agonizingly missed
the twelve man final in the men's discus. The Kiwi's
best throw of sixty two point eight eight meters was
exactly the same as twelfth placed some Morn thrower Alex Rose,
but Rose went through by virtue of a bigger second throw.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
Someone had to be thirties. But to go out throwing
how I threw, Oh, it's tough, you know, like there's
definitely more in the tank. I was just missing the
flights and not hitting the disc as well as I
as I wanted to be hitting them, And yeah, that's
kind of all I really can say.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
It sucks.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Jordy Beamish, meantime, became the first New Zealander to compete
in the three thousand meters steeplechase at Olympic level since
Los Angeles in nineteen eighty four, but could only manage
seventh in his heat to miss out on the final
to the sailing. Michael Wilkinson and Erica Dawson are in
metal contention in the NAKRA the mixed multi hole class.
They sit third with three races to go tomorrow before
(12:21):
the metal race. Sarah Tedslav has registered a personal best
of eight point thirty nine seconds in the qualification stage
of the speed climbing, but she came up against a
very formidable opponent, the pole Alexandra Kaluka. In the elimination
heats away she.
Speaker 15 (12:37):
Goes and Gluga of Poland well in front of Tedslav,
who's just steady and sure, but Kluko crashes it at
six point sixty five and there's a test lab eight
point four one, so just outside that personal best that
she set in the opening rounds. The opening heats Sarah Tedslav,
but so that will likely rule her out of the competition,
(13:00):
and it did.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Indeed, that was intense.
Speaker 13 (13:02):
We had a little bit of a delay when we started,
so that kind of shook things up a bit. And
then this is like the loudest crowd I've ever climbed
in front of, and they were dead silent when we started,
so I could hear myself breathing and it was just
really freaking in a bit spooky. So that first run
was very shaky for me, and then the next two
(13:24):
were pretty good. You always went a little bit more.
The second one was a Oceania record by point zero one.
Speaker 7 (13:32):
So we take the wins.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
Yeah, World done to Sarah Tess laugh on her Olympic
debut and Kiwei wrestler Taylor Ford has lost her first
round bout in the sixty eight kilogram division to French
third seed Cumba Laroque.
