00:00Hi, everyone.
00:01Hi.
00:04Greetings from Australia.
00:06And you have given so much pleasure and excitement
00:11and pride to the whole country.
00:13So well done to all of you.
00:17I hear you saying you're going to keep going.
00:20Yeah, for sure.
00:21I'm only 26, so I think watching Cameron McAvoy
00:25as a 30-year-old stand up and win gold
00:26gives me the idea that I can continue to swim.
00:31Yeah, hopefully you'll make it to Brisbane.
00:34Well, maybe.
00:34Home Olympics 2032.
00:36Who knows?
00:36Yeah, just secured a medal.
00:38So I'm about to fight on Thursday to change the color.
00:41Awesome.
00:42Awesome.
00:43So yeah, you're in the semis.
00:45I am, yes.
00:46So no woman's ever won a boxing medal before,
00:49so I've secured that.
00:50So it'll be early morning for you,
00:51so you have to set your alarm.
00:53Look, we've been getting up very early here.
00:56You can see my little friend here.
00:58Oh, is that Toto?
00:59That's Toto.
01:02She's collapsed here.
01:03So it's been a case of late nights,
01:08but very early morning.
01:09So hey, Shana, how are you going?
01:12Good, how are you?
01:13Yeah, no, no.
01:14I saw you up there proudly with your teammates.
01:18Yes, it was a very exciting moment.
01:20Yeah, we couldn't be prouder of our Australian dolphins,
01:23and we couldn't be prouder of this whole Australian team
01:25in itself at the Olympics.
01:26They're doing a phenomenal job.
01:28It's incredibly inspirational.
01:31Thank you so much.
01:32We appreciate all the support.
01:34What's your best moment apart from your own sport?
01:37I think watching Naomi Fox after almost nothing was playing
01:40and winning a gold medal, and then her sister and mum
01:43jumping in the water.
01:44For me so far, that's been the highlight.
01:46It went crazy back here.
01:48Viral, the whole footage.
01:50I just felt bad.
01:51I would have jumped in the water too, honestly.
01:53Very happy for the family.
01:54Very happy.
01:55Well, well done, everyone.
01:57Amazing.
01:59Bye.
