I think a lot of it is in the mind. Some athletes that have lost their events should have really won. Their mental approach psychology failed them on the big day. She was confident with a positive attitude. She had time to work on it from a very young age. Her father a strict, confident, pushy copper😂

The questions at the end of these interviews are just stupid and pointless - now the question of "What makes a great swimmer?" was good.
@watsonaqua4560 5 ай бұрын
I just realized that these interviews are career reboots/revivals. Are these athletes paying for this coverage? Hmmm. I wish athletic legends like Natalie made substantial sums even a fraction of football, b ball, etc. She is one of the greatest of all time of any sport.

It's refreshing that there exist sporting activities wherein the participants are _not_ showered with riches (i.e., ludicrously obscene sums of money) for performing physical feats. The pursuit of an athletic goal ( a relatively trivial endeavor in the overall scheme of things) is not something that warrants/merits material reward especially in such excessive fashion at least not in a healthy society that has prioritized what truly matters.

@@tommyriam8320Refreshing for who? Please note: I said a fraction of what football players make. You'd understand if you'd put in the time, training, & discipline that Natalie undertook to represent our country. It's a shame that these athletes have to be trained to be entertainers after all they accomlished.

39:04 Why would her _'male counterparts...get the same questions'_ ? Men don't have uteruses and, generally speaking, remain fertile throughout their lives. Stop ludicrously equating the sexes. Such questions were and remain entirely appropriate as directed to a female at this stage in the lifecycle. It's only the privileged few that have the financial wherewithal and backing/support system in place which allows for one to assume "entitlement" to the pursuit of selfish interests at any cost.

Ok you're an idiot. For beginners it was " Jiggle, jiggle", and it's not a crime. What should be a crime is to be as dumb as you are!
