Good squad, you've got but one thing.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
I didn't see my name in.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
It for the water Boys, you know, I wattle Burnside,
not for the BIS. When am what can I get

Speaker 3 (02:18):
We've got a fitting process that we're to go through.
We're currently doing it at the moment, so we'll come
back to your things.

Speaker 1 (02:23):

Three fifteen year old Kiwi skateboarder Jessica Reedy is at three.

Uscar Reedy rising to the occasion on her final run,
saving her best for last and eighty three point six
six chumps her up into that.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Bronze mill spot. Remember the name. Jessica Reedy winning bronze

Salt Lake City, eighty three point sixty six on her
final run to lift her onto the podium. Two Olympic
Kayak Cross champion Finn Butcher ending his long wait for
a World Cup title.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Fenn Butcher, that is his Olympic winning form. There he
will take the gold. To look at Fenn Butcher throws
the paddle away, just absolutely hurls the paddle away in celebration.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Thirteen years after his international debut, finally winning gold in Prague.
But the eight number one. That can only be Liam Lawson.
The best finish of his Formula one career.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Liam Lawson managed to get sick as well as he crossed, a.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Life great day for Liam Lawson in sick, a career
best for Liam Lawson and the best red ball at
their home Grand Prix. Did you think that Mark asking
to be all blacks water Boy might be a bit higher? Well?

Speaker 4 (04:32):
I actually think Mark came and himself a bit low
when asking for that job. See what I would have
done as far as that as I would have come
and asked if I could be starting fullback and then
negotiate your way back down to water Boy. It sounds
a bit better that way, but it's just too easy
for Scott to say to say no to him from
water Boy, and then there's no job further back than that.

(04:53):
You see, So starting with you start with can I
be starting for a week? Okay, I'll take a bench roll?
Then no, be okay, wider training squad? That bridge too far?
Water Boy suddenly sounds pretty tempting, doesn't it, doesn't it?
After the moon shoot for the moon, you might land
among the stars, isn't that what they say? I think so?

(05:15):
I think so it wouldn't landing among the stars be
better than the moon.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Well, as I was saying, and I was thinking exactly there,
maybe the analogy was shoot for the stars, you might
land on the moon. I'm pretty sure that's not it.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
The Moon's not a good place to land and there's
no atmosphere there.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
What.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
Okay, we've picked apart this analogy in our pining. That's all.
