Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Friday Sports Tuddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty,
exceptional marketing for every property. And there it is Michael Wilkinson.
Erica Dawson crossed the line. It's another medal. The New
Zealand's off Mar Saint at Paris twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
The black boat keeping its nose in front of Germany.
They can see the finish line.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
It is gold for New Zealand. Gold Elease Andrews Intense insightsive, invincible.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Max Brown and Grant Clancy. They have finished last. They
were so far behind the action.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
I lost complete sight of them on.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
The sports tittle. That's this even who got Nicky steyras
sports journalists and Jim Kaye sports journalists as well. Hell
are you two?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Hello?
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Kay Nikki? Do you reckon? The canoe boys have redeemed
themselves because they actually didn't do too badly in the kayaking.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Look, I'm a fat believer, and you play by the roles,
and they played by the rules. So you know, I
think that if anyone complains about it, then they need
to go back and say to you know, the canoe
organizing body, well, don't allow these loopholes. I think I
think what they did was they did vindicate themselves. I mean, yes,
they got last in the final, but they made an
(01:20):
a final and what they were two seconds off the pace,
So I think they did vindicate themselves. But I can
I can sort of understand why people are a little
bit upset about it, particularly since they obviously targeted that
cape or group and you know, I k one guy
and this is out who potentially could have gone to
the Olympics and done well. So yeah, that's a tricky one.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Yeah, Jim, what do you reckon of that?
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Now?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
It doesn't sit very well with me. I don't think
it's really TV way if if there's such a thing,
you know, it's up there with Eric the Eel, the Eagle.
I think they I think they embarrassed themselves the exactly.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Know, Jim, samples that you've cited are people who are
actually doing crappily at their chosen one. Right.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Actually, okay, look, I don't blame the athlete. I blame
Canoe New Zealand. I think they deliberately exploited the loophole
on the rules to get an extra boat to the Olympics,
and it just doesn't sit very well there he came out.
You know, I'm giving it. I'm right, or you're right.
(02:29):
I'm just giving back.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
We're loving your opinion. But then we're laughing at your opinion.
But that's okay, laugh.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
About laugh at my opinion too, because I laughed at yours.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
I'll go and live in Australia because that's how the
Australian would that's.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Right und to New Zealand. I don't think that's the
way that we shi sport.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
This is why we need to harden up. I mean,
we're always talking about how we play fair and stuff
and we don't sledge and all that kind of nonsense.
But you've got to do what it takes to win,
and if that's what it takes, do it.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
But those are very different things. I think you're conflating
two things to come up with one. Okay, this is
an organization that a national body who deliberately set out
to exploit a loophole and the rules.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I think you're.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
When you're doing whatever, you play as hard as you
can to win, absolutely, But I don't think it's a
good look for a national body to do what they did.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Okay, already, hey, listen Nikky on how we're going to
perceive these Olympics right. They've had quite a few problems.
You've got the model metals degrading, you've got the overcrowded village,
the lack of air conditioning, the food poisoning, making the
people swim and pooh rivers. Are we going to look
back at this and go there was a shambles or
are they all just a shambles and we forget about
that over time?
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Look, I think they're all the shambles, and I think
you've got to remember you've got, you know, over ten
thousand athletes. They're all crammed in a village, a lot
of them where it's basically a scientific Petrie dish. You
know you're going to catch things, You're going to get
food poisoning, you're putting out sixty thousand meals each day.
What I do have a problem with is won the medals,
(04:05):
because that is your everlasting treasure from something you worked
incredibly hard for. And I think it's not acceptable that
they are deteriorating. And the other thing is the same. Well,
you know it's been illegal to simon that's thing for
over one hundred years, so it was never really a
good look to let them in there. Of course we
know why they did it, because you know, it's all
(04:27):
about optics and you want them, you know, you want
to be showing powers to the world, and that was
the way to do that. Unfortunately they did it at
the peril of the athletes, which I don't really agree with.
But on the whole, I don't think we will look
back at it as the shambles.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Know the Friday Sports Huddle with New Zealand Sethby's international realty,
unparalleled reach and results.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Back with the Huddle, Jim Kays and Nicky Styrus, Right, Jim,
what do you reckon? Are these Olympics particularly as shambles
or just the standard level of shambles.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
That's in standard level. I agree with most of what
Nicky said there, you know, yeah, the river saying it's
disgusting and I wouldn't want to swimm on it and
it looked revolting as they every time they dived in.
But you know, people get sick when there's ten thousand
of them, and people complain about beds. We all complain
about a bed when you go to hotel room in general.
Though I've really enjoyed it, I've you know, watching it
(05:18):
on on Kelly, the smallest board on Sky. It's just
been it's been awesome, I think, and you know, wonderful
to see the QI athletes and I think a city
like Paris on display like that, you know, when you
have the trifle and they're cycling down the chans of
Lys and you think wow, you know, and through the
entrance and these sorts of things. I think it's fantastic.
(05:38):
I still believe four cities should host the Olympics on
a rotational basis and then we just get on with it,
you know, keep it to just four cities, and then
you don't have all some of the some of these
problems that disappear because they have the infrastructure, that have
the knowledge, they have all those sorts of things. So
that's what I'd love to see. Imagine if it was
Paris and Athens and pick to other places. Awesome.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I mean, it's not a bad idea, is it, Nikki,
Because then you wouldn't have to relearn all the lessons
every single link in time.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
The only problem with that is the cough to run
it or the amount of money that you actually gained
from it. And you might find that some of the
politics might get involved in that, in that decision and
be like a dot it we want her, you know.
So yeah, that might be a little bit simplistic, but
I do And what a spectacle that would be.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yeah, totally. Now, Jim, have you got to the bottom
yourself of whether this Algerian boxer should be boxing against
women or not? She's a woman, yeah, but she's got
an apparently.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Well yeah, but so I've done a lot of reading
on it today. She's a woman, she was born at
gil grew up to be a woman. Yes, she's got
some different genetics. But if we look at athletics, and
if you if you look at athletics in a really
simple way, lots of people have different genetics. There are
tall basketballers, there are fast sprinters.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
There, and that's true, that's true.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
But as a genetic difference.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Does this in your reading, Jim, have you got to
the bottom of weather an X and a Y chromosome
for a woman therefore makes her intersex?
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Look?
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Yes? Does it?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Niki? Does it? Because that's what I thought it was.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Nik?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Is that what's up here?
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Well?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I but the iOS can be well, that's two different things.
IOC can shut up on that. In the mon I
want to hear what Niki.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Is doing, say you know what? Do you know what
I know? I strip it back even further than that,
because basically, it's not about these boxes. What it's about
is the fact that there's not enough facts around it,
and it's not enough transparency, and there's not enough information
and there's not enough clear definitive rule. If that was
all clear and transparent, then you wouldn't be in this mess.
(07:46):
The reason that the problem is is because they don't
have the same test, they don't have the same organization
deciding watch tests. They're not publishing those tests. So therefore,
you know, there's a whole at a great area that
no one knows what's going on. Sorry for the boxes,
because one minute they're told they can't, the next minute
they're in, and then you find out some Russian dude
is in charge of the boxing and that's why they
(08:08):
got eliminated there. And what they need to do is
set out a clear set of rules that's transparent to everybody,
and everything is published so then everybody knows where they stand.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Okay, right, I think we've got to the bottom of it. Maybe, guys,
both of you, thank you so much. Go and enjoy
the All Blacks this weekend. Enjoy the last of the Olympics.
I really appreciate your time. Nicky Starrus and Jim k
