Speaker 1 (00:00):
He stom fly.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Fly fly, Yeah, yeah, yeah, Liz Ellis is in for
Amanda and this is right in your wheelhouse. I know
the netball never made it to the Olympics.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
Thank you for bringing that up. I do want to
rub salt into wounds. Yes, open winds. So you know what, I.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Reckon you would have made it. It would have been
a given that you would have got a gold medal.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Do you think about that?

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Yeah? No, I reckon we would have got a gold
medal too, So yes, And I hate the fact that
we are not in the Olympics as much as I
love the Olympics.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Sure, and if you were in the Olympics and you
won a gold medal. Second question, A part of my
question is would you have got an Olympics rings tattoo?

Speaker 1 (00:46):
I would have just been a sheep and gone and.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Got an Olympics Well, I think I think you can
get an Olympics ring tattoo even if you don't win
a gold medal. I think if you go to the Olympics,
it's enough of an achievement. And like these guys who
are going off to the Olympics, just adonicis. So it's
if you wouldn't want to stick a fiv ring tattoo
on your pecks.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
They just look good.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
I was reading where it actually started, and it was
went back to nineteen eighty eight and it was Christopher Jacobs.
He started it at the Sole Olympics. He got the
rings tattooed.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Yeah, right, did he win a gold medal? I'm not
too sure.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
There's not any other details there, but he just got
the tattoo. But then there are other people that were
getting tattoos. Yes, so they before they went to the Olympics.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Yes, Oh no, I think you've got to go to
the Olympics first. You can't.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
You can't get a pre Olympics tat before you turn
up there because so many things can happen. And what
happens if you get your tat and then you don't
actually like you get injured or something happens and you
actually don't go. Like, I think that's a very that's
a risky play. And like I was a bit of
a I was a bit superstitious when I was an athlete.
So one of the things that I was superstitious about

(01:54):
was that if you had to go and do a
photo shoot, like we need a captain, they send you
out to do photo shoots with the trophy, so you know,
the super Netball trophy or the World Cup trophy. And
I had a superstition that if we hadn't won the
trophy the last time, then I couldn't touch the trophy
until we won it. So for example, two thousand and seven,
I was a captain of the Diamonds for the World
Cup and we had to do these photo shoots. And

(02:16):
because New Zealand had won the two thousand and three
World Cup, I didn't want to touch the trophy until
I'd won it, until my team had won it. So
the moment you touch it then it's a bit special, right, Yes, yes, man,
it worked, it worked, we won. So I mean the
four years of hard work and bloodsweat and tears we
put in may have may have played a part. I
don't want to, you know, put it all on the superstition.

(02:36):
But so, but I would think that getting the tat
before you go the Olympics, it's just tempting fake get
it and you don't have to win a gold medal,
but you do have to.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Actually walk in the door. Have you got any tattoos?
I do?

Speaker 3 (02:47):
It's not the Olympic rings I should have got the
Olympic rings with just like a big you know those
big no entry circle and stripe the top.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
I do have.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
I've got a little gecko tattooed on my back right,
Yeah it's a lizard.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yes, and why is that? Liz and one of a
very dear friend of mine.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
She spent some time working up in northwest Western Australia
years ago and got this gecko tattooed, and unfortunately, sadly
she passed away from breast cancer. So a few of us,
whose sister and her friends, we all got the same tattoo.
So it's a really lovely memory. So yeah, my mum
wasn't very happy about me getting a tattoo because you know,
I'm fifty and you still care about what your mum thinks, obviously,

(03:29):
but she was she was more understanding when she knew
that it was because of Linda and that story as well.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
And everyone's got a tattoo now, I know, like you know,
it's like you know.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
On this show you talk about what gets your goolies
against my girl is that I was an early adopter
and now everyone's got.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Everyone's got tattoo.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
I got to make them used to be the president
of the Hell's Angels, and he said, well, hang on there,
the briister is more tattooed than I am.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
I suspect the Hell's Angels.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
Were early adopters, very early adoptors. Here's my piece of
gratuitous advice for a sparring Olympian. Don't get the tats
until you've walked in the door at the Olympics and
actually competed. Then, once you've done, go for your life,
get all the Olympic tats.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
A hoy hoy. Yeah, get it on your that's it
for to day. Come back tomorrow for more CHOLSI and
Amanda stunning. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
