for the river ratting course <,> the athletes are out on the water <,> i'm going to get a top view from up here LET'S DO IT <&>helicopter noise in background until the end of extract river ratting at it's best and the competitors have got the GREEN light six boats two rows of three two teams in each boat <&>competitors yelling in background chaos <,,><&>3 not a lot of room to move here paul no the race rule is no hanging on and no obstruction no obSTRUCtion <,> no one's listening <,,><&>6 on the left we've got yachting with basketball <&>15:00 netball and on the right in blue it's cricket and rowing taking the lead <,,><&>5 and there's some faster water now and it's cricket and rowing showing their paddles to the rest of the field <,,> this is still the flat section what lies ahead is two kilometres of VERY rough water i was gonna say i mean this is prissy isn't it it's only light but geoff's joy is yet to come and there's league and soccer doing it backwards <,,><&>4 rugby and swimming coming up on the outside they think now's the time to go <,> and they go <,,><&>3 sort of <,,><&>5 this is cricket and rowing now as they head into some serious white water which is what we like <,,> good timing from this crew <,> and this is a double view of them and THEY'RE having a little bit of trouble losing a bit of control just checking out the greenery paul and that lets yachting and basketball netball take the lead <,,><&>3 well they did lose a couple of places there <,,><&>3 <&>16:00 nice action nicely up on those rocks too good work league and soccer showing us how it's NOT done <,,><&>3 no no interviews AFTer the race danyon <,> story <,,><&>3 this is rugby and swimming <,,> now this is cycling and softball and <.>basket no that's that's league on no no that was <.>row <,,> not sure at this stage who is what or where is who <,,> but they're away and that's good news for all of us <,,><&>4 looks like athletics and canoeing out in front they've taken the lead through that chaos athletics were pretty happy they drew the leaders in the competition too at this stage <,> not sure how canoeing felt about it but athletics were rapt laud codjoe there with the peak on putting in the hard work <&>17:00 a view from our handicam you can see the rapids <,,><&>3 athletics and canoeing out in front <,,><&>7 then basketball netball and yachting <,> followed closely by cricket and rowing now back with our er rugby players and swimmers and they've been left completely high and dry caught up in the curly swirly bits of the water <,> that's technical talk paul of course curly swirly soccer and league here in fourth place <,,><&>3 and holding onto second place it's basketball netball with yachting AHEAD of cricket rowing cricket rowing pushing it hard TOO HARD somebody's been baptised <,,><&>3 somebody has been baptised that looks like phil horn <,,><&>3 coming up to geoff's joy the ugliest rapid of them all canoeing athletics leading <&>18:00 and in the background it's yachting and basketball netball doing a spin and letting cricket rowing through nice little piece from swan lake they've lost another place the yachties they'll be disappointed THIS IS THE LEADERS STRAIGHT THROUGH GEOFF'S JOY <,> no respect shown HELLo cricket rowing doing it the hard way laughs and there go the yachties and the netball basketball COMBINation into the white water if rowing and cricket want to win this race they HAVE to face down river you reckon <,> that's probably good advice actually paul <,> here come the league squad <,,> and the mcdonald soccer team into geoff's joy not a lot of joy being shown more sort of TERROR somebody's checking out the polyanthus on the side there cycling and softball here in FIFTH place <,,><&>8 the cycling team and the

started to smooth out here this is canoeing and athletics and they've got a good margin too paul out in front of basketball netball and yachting cricket and rowing chasing hard now their arms must be getting tired here eh oh the river's doing a lot of the work but these athletes are PUSHing to the max there's the leading raft with the canoeists and the athletics team here come the yachties and the
