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.
