Like when I used to do a school project of Brisbane,
You've got a year to do this. In the last minute, yeah,
the night before Mark bestbe building myself a stadium.

Speaker 2 (00:18):

to say can we just prolong this a little bit longer?

Speaker 3 (00:53):
It's got a horse an archery, it's got a horsey,

an ancient warrior?

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Because an ancient soldier that's what it's replicating. So it
has five sports designed to test these traditional skills pistol shooting, fencing, swimming,
show jumping and a cross country run. Well, the IOC
has voted to replace the equestrian element. I think the
horses have said, you know what, I'm out.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
This is stupid.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Horses are out making way for this Ninja Warrior obstacle course.
So Ninja Warrior will now be part of the Pentathlon,

going to sound beautiful when we get the commentary involved.

To do, where do we shoot again? Can't they put
a horse in it?
