1
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: Hey folks, it is Saturday, February fourteenth, and we have

2
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 1: now seen one of the most shocking, the most stunning

3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: collapses in Olympic history. And with that, welcome to this

4
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: episode of Amy and TJ. Rooves. It happened on the

5
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:23,319
Speaker 1: biggest stage, and it happened to Augur arguably not just

6
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: the biggest American, but maybe one of the biggest names

7
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: overall in the Olympics. The quad God.

8
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 2: H the quad God his actual name Ilia Melanin, but

9
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 2: he was the darling of this Olympics. There were a

10
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: couple names and a couple athletes, a handful who everyone

11
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 2: was looking to an at to bring home gold. The

12
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: pressure cannot be anything short of almost debilitating, and unfortunately

13
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: that is what it appears happened to name them.

14
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: Who are the big name even if you're not following

15
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: the Olympics. Lindsay Vaughn, Chloe Kim, Mikayla Schiffrin, Quad God,

16
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: Now those are the everybody can name that. There are

17
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: other big stars I'm not taking away from but these

18
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: are the names that you would ever get close to

19
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: household in those names, bro the Lindsay Vaughan, Nobody was

20
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: expecting her to win goal. We've known her for a

21
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: long time, but we were just impressed by what she

22
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: was doing. This kid was your Simone Biles. He steps

23
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: out there, the expectation is he's going.

24
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: To win exactly, and you know, we refer to him

25
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 2: as the quad God because it's easy. And his name

26
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: might be not a household name yet, but the point

27
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: was that after this Olympics it would be. Obviously in

28
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: the figure skating community he is a household name. But

29
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 2: for a lot of us who are now just kind

30
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 2: of getting up to date on the new US Olympic

31
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: athletes who then become household names, this kid, Iliam Allenan

32
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: was about to become that person.

33
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 3: So he was going to be something beyond the quad God.

34
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: He was gonna he had a moniker and he was

35
00:01:58,560 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: going to have a household name.

36
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: But he has it now for the wrong reason. You all,

37
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: this was hard to watch. This wasn't defeat. This was

38
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: watching someone have a complete meltdown on the most important

39
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: and the biggest stage possible Robes start to finish. This

40
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: was a collapse of epic historic proportion. And all you

41
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: can say, Robes is you got to remember these dudes

42
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: are human beings.

43
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: Yes, the agony of defeat. They talk about it every Olympics.

44
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 2: It occurs. Unfortunately, you don't know who it's going to

45
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: happen to. But the pressure is something that most of

46
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 2: us mere mortals cannot even fathom. With the war, when

47
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 2: people say the world is watching, literally the world is watching.

48
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 2: And he had just come off of this pretty big high.

49
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 2: He was called up and called in to essentially booy

50
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: up the team event, and he did it. He performed,

51
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: He did eas exactly what he was supposed to do,

52
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 2: what he is known for, and he brought the team

53
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: Team USA to a gold medal victory.

54
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 3: So he is coming off that high.

55
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was several days ago. That was the one

56
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: he wasn't even supposed to.

57
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: Do, and he didn't want to do it because he

58
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 2: wanted to focus on his competition. He wanted to be

59
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 2: able to concentrate and he didn't want to take away

60
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 2: from But you know what then he said, huh hell yeah,

61
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: I just.

62
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 3: Brought it home.

63
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: We just won gold. Best decision I ever made. Who

64
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 2: knows now, as he reflects back, if that led in

65
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 2: any way to what we saw on the ice from

66
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: him in his performance, in his marquee performance that we

67
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: were then expecting.

68
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 3: Yes, this is the moment that he was supposed to

69
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 3: win gold.

70
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: We will get into why performing in the team event

71
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: might have messed with his head a little bit in

72
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: just a second. But Iliam Malinin performed yesterday. This was

73
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: the second of two routines that were part of the

74
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: individual male figure skating gold medal competition. But he is

75
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: performing in the fine yesterday. He didn't just not win gold,

76
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: he didn't win a medal at all. He finished eighth

77
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: in a performance that shocked the Olympics. He fell twice

78
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 1: in his jumps, so his butt was on the ice

79
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: at least two times, and then on another two jumps

80
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: he just bailed on them. So this is the guy

81
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: who has seven quad jumps. Four of them were total

82
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: disasters last night. Didn't complete two and the other he

83
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: was on his ass. Robes we got were of course,

84
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: we watched during the day, sometimes certainly early morning because

85
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: of the time difference. We were out yesterday and we

86
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: were keeping up and we saw the headline of what happened,

87
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: and then we came that got settled, teed it up

88
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: so we could watched the performance. It's devastating.

89
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: It's so hard to watch and to listen to the commentators.

90
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: I mean, there was just silence for a long time.

91
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: They didn't know what to say. They were genuinely shocked.

92
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: They said, this young man, he's twenty one years old, right,

93
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 2: Iliam Allen, and he does not do this. He doesn't

94
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 2: even fall once, let alone twice. He doesn't not go

95
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 2: for his quad jumps. And he did a single I believe,

96
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 2: when he was supposed to do a quad, and then

97
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 2: he did a double when he was supposed to do

98
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 2: a quad. So they were they were stricken, the commentators.

99
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: There was silence in the ice rink. It was just devastating,

100
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 2: and he felt that the energy was just completely shifted.

101
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 2: And they said this and we know this if this

102
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 2: is just something that this isn't a physical, this wasn't

103
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: about something he couldn't do.

104
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 3: This was all in his head. This was completely in total,

105
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 3: totally mental.

106
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: And it happens, and it happened in the worst possible

107
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: time for this kid. We tried, we try to give

108
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: some perspective to what we were seeing. And I meant

109
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: to go look at Vegas odds and I didn't see

110
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: but he would have been the oldwhelming favorites. Yes, but

111
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: here's the thing, folks, this is a dude who has

112
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: not lost a competition in two years. In fourteen straight

113
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: competitions he has come out on top. Among those were

114
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: two World championships. You all, he has been the best

115
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: figure skater against these same dudes in the world for

116
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: two straight years. And also he's the four time US

117
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: national champion. This dude does not lose. And you know

118
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: what happened, Robes, when he's finally going to officially be

119
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: anointed put the crown on his head as you put

120
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: the gold medal around his neck. Yesterday was the worst

121
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: performance he has put up the worst score in four years.

122
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 2: Wow, he's scored two hundred and ninety one point five

123
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 2: eight worst score in four years.

124
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: That's mental, Robes.

125
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. Yes, you have not lost a competition

126
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 2: in two years. That means he had fourteen straight competitions

127
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 2: where he came out on top number one, fourteen in

128
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 2: a row. Look, all streaks are eventually broken, but to

129
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: have it broken at the Olympics when you are skating.

130
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 3: For gold worst possible scenario.

131
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: Losing is one thing, Underperforming is one thing. This is

132
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: not what This was, folks. This was a complete meltdown

133
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: by this kid. And I'm not saying that to be offensive.

134
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: A heart on him. Our hearts were breaking way even

135
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: if we knew the result. I said to you as

136
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: we were watching, I kind of wish we didn't know

137
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: what was coming, because it made it worse.

138
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 3: It did.

139
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 2: We were waiting for you know when you say it's

140
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: like watching a train accident, Like we knew what was coming,

141
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 2: and so I was. I think I was like squinting

142
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 2: my eyes. I didn't really want to see. And the

143
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: pain on his face when he finished and did he

144
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 2: hit his head, he was just he was so so devastated,

145
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 2: understandably so, but that was just so hard to watch

146
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: these kids skate their hearts out, the training, the work,

147
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: all of this leading up to this one performance.

148
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: It's too much. It became too much. Who's in the crowd,

149
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: Simone Biles, right, that's a big deal. Nathan Chen, former

150
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: gold medalist for the US is the last Olympics. He's

151
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: in the crowd. This was the moment. This was who's

152
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: the darling? You still say the gymnastics Nadia Komenich, No,

153
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: the one from the US that was on the Whaedi's

154
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,239
Speaker 1: box that I can't way. Mary Luke red, Yes, he

155
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: was about to be that darling you cannot get in

156
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: the Olympics. Right in the Summer Games, whatever woman wins

157
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: the all around is our darling. Yes, in gymnastics, and

158
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: then in the Winter Games, the woman who wins the

159
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: figure skating and the man who wins the figure skates

160
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: carry those are your big marquee events like one hundred

161
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: meters dash almost this is it like.

162
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 2: This, like Michael Thorps, like there are certain people in

163
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 2: certain events.

164
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: He was about to be it Robes, this was everything

165
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: and that was just too much pressure. Now some of

166
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: his comments, will talk about his performance, will give you

167
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 1: the comments about his performance, and then we'll tell you

168
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: about this hot mike moment. And when we all heard

169
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: and it was pretty clear immediately, oh he's pissed about

170
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: something and the anger and emotion was coming out. But

171
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: roab some of his statements here he seems as clueless

172
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: as the rest of us as to what happened.

173
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 2: Yes, here is what he said afterwards after the performance.

174
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 2: He said, honestly, I still haven't been able to process

175
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 2: what just happened going into this competition. I felt really

176
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 2: good this whole day, feeling really solid. I just thought

177
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 2: that all I needed to do was trust the process

178
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 2: that I've always been doing. You know, it's so true, Like, look,

179
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 2: the only small amount of like just a little bit

180
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 2: of pressure that we understand. When you are about to

181
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 2: run a marathon, you're nervous, you don't know what your

182
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 2: body's going to do, you don't know what the weather's

183
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 2: going to be like, you don't know what the crowd's

184
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 2: going to feel like. But you tell yourself, and this

185
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 2: is what everyone tells you. Trust the training. Trust the training.

186
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 2: Your body knows what to do. You're going to be okay.

187
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: Don't let your nerves take over. So it sounded like

188
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 2: that's where his headspace was.

189
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: You stay in routine. We've been around a lot of athletes.

190
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: They do not mess around with their routine. You stay

191
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: in a certain pattern. I practice this, this time, I

192
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: eat it this time. This is what I eat, and

193
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: then this is what I listened to, he said, and

194
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: explaining I did everything the way I always do it.

195
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 3: Why would I change anything now exactly?

196
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 2: He went on to say, but it's not like any

197
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 2: other competition. It's the Olympics.

198
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: I respect that.

199
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 3: I do too. I do too, he said.

200
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 2: I think people don't realize the pressure and the nerves

201
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 2: that actually happened from the inside. So it was really

202
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 2: just something that overwhelmed me. And I just felt like

203
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 2: I had no control.

204
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: That's honest, you know.

205
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 2: I think look in small versions of that. I think

206
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: everyone knows what that feels like. It all of a sudden,

207
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: you realize people are watching or somehow you just get

208
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 2: outside of your head and you start panicking. You start

209
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 2: feeling the pressure, you start thinking what if I do something,

210
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 2: and your brain just starts to completely spiral.

211
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 3: And it looks like that's what happened.

212
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: And he's acknowledging that that's what happened. That's you don't

213
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: often hear that the pressure got to me. It's the Olympics.

214
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: There's the big stage. You mess with me, You don't

215
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: hear just that open type of honest statement. I appreciated that.

216
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said, I felt like, this is what I

217
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 2: wanted to do, this is what we planned, this is

218
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 2: what we practiced, and really just needed to go out

219
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: there and do what I always do. That did not happen.

220
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: And I don't know why. Something felt off and I

221
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 2: don't know what it was specifically. I'm still trying to

222
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 2: understand what that was. Look he is doing, he is

223
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 2: com competing with with Uh, I'm trying it's not tricks.

224
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 2: What are they called with his act? Like just his

225
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 2: what he does with the pup.

226
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: The only one that does a quad axcelling competition who

227
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: has landed that thing.

228
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 2: Well, I was trying to like, they're not They're not

229
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,719
Speaker 2: called tricks, they're not called feats. Whatever it is, the

230
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 2: disciplines there, I'm listening the word of just what it

231
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 2: what it is to do a quad. But some of

232
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 2: what he does on the ice was considered so dangerous

233
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 2: it was not allowed.

234
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 3: So you think about just.

235
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 2: Not wanting to fall, or wanting to perform your best

236
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 2: or wanted to perform flawlessly, but you're also risking injury.

237
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 2: You're risking life and limb with some of these that

238
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 2: he's doing. Sometimes he does a flip where he lands

239
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 2: on one leg. He does these quads that most people

240
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 2: cannot do. So the fear of failure isn't just about

241
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,719
Speaker 2: not getting a gold, it's about massive injury as well.

242
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: Dum, you put me back into that right mindset of

243
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: remembering and This is probably the best comparison, and people

244
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: understand this perspective someone Biles being to start for a

245
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: long time. It's not that she's outperforming people because they're

246
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: all doing the same tricks and she does them better.

247
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 1: She's doing shit nobody else can do. He is that

248
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: guy in ice skating. He is doing things and that's

249
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: why his level of difficulty is so far ahead, and

250
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: he's so far ahead of competition. Nobody else is even

251
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: attempting the things he's doing, like some more Biles. She

252
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: was the one that made the comment twisting around doing

253
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: all that. She said, I'll never do that on ice.

254
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: She recognizes how crazy it is what they're doing.

255
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 2: And you bring up some Biles. Let's just remember she

256
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 2: got what she referred to as the twist.

257
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 3: You said twists.

258
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 2: She had a very similar situation mentally when she was

259
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 2: performing and she.

260
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 3: Had to take a step back.

261
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: See I had never heard I wasn't that familiar with

262
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: the twists. Of course she was in the gymnastics world.

263
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: You knew there's better than I did. She at that point,

264
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 1: what was that twenty twenty right? She had? How decorated

265
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: of an olympian? Was she at that point? We never

266
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: looked at Simone Biles and thought, man, this pressure, she

267
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: can't handle it. We never looked at her we learned,

268
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: oh wow, there is a thing that happens that your

269
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 1: mind and your body get out of right harmony and

270
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: you could absolutely do all kinds of damage to yourself

271
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: in gymnastics. Yes, do they consider I don't think so.

272
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: Do they consider that a mental block in where the

273
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: pressure's getting to you? I heard that or thought that

274
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: is something that a fluke freak thing that happens that

275
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 1: can happen if you are in your gym training, can

276
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: happen in the Olympics, It can happen at a small

277
00:13:58,920 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: regional meet.

278
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 2: Ye.

279
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: How does is that considered like a mental The pressure

280
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: is getting to you?

281
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 2: Absolutely because what happened, like the point being, is what

282
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 2: they are doing.

283
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 3: It isn't about winning or losing.

284
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 2: It's about if I mess up, I could be paralyzed

285
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 2: for the rest of my life.

286
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 3: I could die.

287
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 2: I mean literally that sounds dramatic, but the types of

288
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 2: moves these athletes are making is absolutely dangerous. And this

289
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 2: is why they have the scores they have because they're

290
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 2: getting points no one else is getting because no one

291
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 2: has the guts to even attempt some of these moves.

292
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 2: So that is I feel like Simone Biles is a

293
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 2: really good example of what Ilian was going through and

294
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 2: what she went through and talked about and had to

295
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 2: actually go and get help to get her head straight

296
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: before she could come back. I mean, Jordan Childs won

297
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 2: the gold because Simone Biles had to take a step back.

298
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: Look this kid, man, he he's got away four years.

299
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: He's got a wait four years for another shot like this.

300
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: But stay with us here, folks. There was a moment

301
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: that everyone has been talking about. It happened almost immediately

302
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: after he competition. It was clear he was emotional, but

303
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: some of that emotion was anger at his own US

304
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: team will explain the hot mic moments to hear all right,

305
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: continuing here on this Saturday, February fourteenth, going over what

306
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: will be talked about for years and years and years,

307
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: the absolute breakdown by one of the biggest stars at

308
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: the Olympics, Ilia malinin the quad God failed to even metal.

309
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: Was widely considered the overwhelming favorite to take the gold

310
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: and maybe even easily, but fell twice on the ice

311
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: in his final routine, didn't complete a couple of other

312
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: jumps and just had a melt down. But robes right

313
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: after right, you see pain, you see agony. As soon

314
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: as he finished, I think he put his hands in

315
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: his head and his face in his hands. But he

316
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: goes and sits down, waiting on his score. He's talking

317
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: and he got mad, like it was emotion and a

318
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: little anger. But he started talking about the US team

319
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: and started talking about Beijing. And for a lot of

320
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: people who had been following or wondering what the hell

321
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: he's talking about, there's some context here.

322
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 3: Yes, he's this is what he said.

323
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 2: I don't He obviously did not realize that the cameras

324
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 2: were there and that this was going to be heard

325
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 2: by everyone. But he said, I told them to send

326
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 2: me to Beijing, and then I wouldn't have skated like that.

327
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 3: They all think it's easy.

328
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: It's not easy, and so you wonder what is he

329
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: I said. Immediately we turned to like, oh, he's mad

330
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: about something. In that moment, he just had the worst

331
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: moment of his professional career. He got mad and went

332
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: back another four years to Beijing. I didn't realize he

333
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: was seventeen at the time, finished second at the US Nationals.

334
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: That's good enough to make the Olympic team. The federation

335
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: made the decision, Yeah, you got second at Nationals and

336
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: that's good enough, but we're going to take these other

337
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: two more experienced skaters to the Olympics who finish behind you.

338
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: So he gets dumped after performing well enough to make

339
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: the Olympic team. Those other two guys did not get medals,

340
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: by the way, we should mention. But rodes his mind

341
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: in that moment was I didn't know about Olympic pressure.

342
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 1: If you all let me go get an experience and

343
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: be under Nathan Chen and watch him in that whole thing,

344
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: maybe I could have meddled, But I also would have

345
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: gotten the experience necessary to nail this moment. And he

346
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: was pissed at them for that decision. In that moment.

347
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 2: Well, look, I think there are a couple of things

348
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 2: at play, and I understand where his head went and

349
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 2: where his heart was because the moment that happens, you

350
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 2: want to blame something, You want to blame someone, You

351
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 2: want to say they did this. It's not my fault

352
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 2: is it is a human experience and reaction to try

353
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 2: and blame someone else.

354
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 3: That is what your ego does to protect yourself.

355
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 2: From a devastating moment you say it's your fault, it's

356
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 2: not mine. However, he does have a good point, because

357
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 2: imagine if he had gone at seventeen with the skill

358
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 2: set he has, without the pressure of being called the

359
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 2: quad god.

360
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 3: He's the guy who's going to bring the gold.

361
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 2: If you're underneath someone like Nathan Chen, you can actually

362
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 2: go to the Olympics, get the experience, but not feel

363
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 2: all the pressure at your very first damn Olympics when

364
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 2: you're still just twenty one years old, maybe even at seventeen. Look,

365
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,239
Speaker 2: gymnasts go early, because when you're younger, you might not

366
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 2: even realize as much, really truly the danger you're putting

367
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 2: your body.

368
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 3: In, but you might not even recognize the pressure as much.

369
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 2: The older you get, the more you realize how fragile

370
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 2: your body is, how fragile life is, how finicky or

371
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 2: fickle fandom, stardom is. Like all of that, it starts

372
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 2: to weigh on you in a way that maybe you

373
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 2: wouldn't have even considered when you're younger.

374
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 3: So I do think he makes a good point.

375
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 2: But it was so interesting to see what the human

376
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 2: mind does in a moment of desperation and despair and devastation.

377
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 2: You want to blame someone else, Think.

378
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: Hey, in the moments after that was a meeting. I

379
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: mean that was a minute I think after he finished

380
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: that horrible routine. But with perspective, and he'll calm down,

381
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: he'll settle down, he might even come out and apologize.

382
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,719
Speaker 1: And by the way, he was very gracious to the winners.

383
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: So he was a good sportsman in all this. But

384
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: rot he I think he said later on about it.

385
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: He said, yeah, but if I had gone to the Olympics,

386
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: who knows what my journey would have been and where

387
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: my life would have gone and whatever else. All these

388
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: things just happen like this. He can't. Obviously, it's not

389
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 1: Team USA's fault for not picking him all those years ago.

390
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: It's just they made the best decision they could make

391
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: at the time that they thought would put them in

392
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: a position to get a gold, silver, bronze medal in

393
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. Let's make sure we don't put ourselves

394
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: in a best position now, so we can put ourselves

395
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: in the best position four years from now, so we

396
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: can have this kid's head right. And that I don't know,

397
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: but Bro's he knows. With perspective, it's not their fault

398
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: that this happened. Now, I gotta be with he got second,

399
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: put him on the damn team like.

400
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think he did too, and that would

401
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 2: like it should be who's the best, not who you

402
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 2: think might perform better.

403
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 3: I mean, look, I know they take all this into consideration.

404
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 2: I will also say this, I'm sure this doesn't feel

405
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 2: great because, yes, the Olympics. It's not like in any

406
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 2: other sport where you can say, oh, my next game,

407
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 2: I'll do better, or next season, I'll do better. Nat

408
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 2: you gotta wait, and I know there are other competitions

409
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 2: and all of that, but you have to wait four

410
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 2: more years for another shot at the Olympics. And yes,

411
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 2: he'll only be twenty five. Yes he should be able

412
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 2: to perhaps even be better than he is now. However,

413
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 2: you could have injuries, you could have issues. There's all

414
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 2: sorts of things that can happen between now and four

415
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 2: years from now, and that has to be a daunting

416
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 2: feeling to know I don't get to try again at

417
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 2: this stage, at this level for another four years.

418
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: Imagine that pressure and seeing him skate in four years

419
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: and what's going to be on him the last thing,

420
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 1: we'll mention here, Robes, And we said it at the time.

421
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: It seems like it was several days. I think it

422
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 1: was earlier this week the team competition. Ilia was not

423
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: going to be with his team for the team competition.

424
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: They called him now up the night before, Robes, because

425
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: the things were so tight in scores. They say, hey,

426
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: we are not going to win this thing unless you compete.

427
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 1: He decides to compete. Scores well, team USA gets gold.

428
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: We said at the time, Robes, whatever happens in the individual,

429
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 1: this has got to be the most valuable gold medal

430
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: to him, even if he gets the individual. Like what

431
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: he did to come save his team. Here's the problem, Robes.

432
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: In that competition, as well as he did, a Japanese

433
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 1: skater scored higher than he did. Now, he did good

434
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: enough to put his team over the top, but he

435
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 1: had in his head there is another skater out here

436
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: who actually just beat me in the team competition, even

437
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 1: though my team won. They talked about how he's looking

438
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: around now and that set him up for oh shit,

439
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: somebody's on my heels in a mindset that maybe he

440
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: would not have had going into the individual. Who knows,

441
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: but that was a he got outperformed. Somebody beat him

442
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: already score wise, and.

443
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 2: You can understand how that would mess with your head.

444
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 2: If you've been told you're the best in the world,

445
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 2: you're the two time reigning world champion, you're the quad god.

446
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 2: Nobody can come close to you, and all of a

447
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 2: sudden someone beats your score and now you go into

448
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 2: that competition knowing you're going head to head with that

449
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 2: person that scater.

450
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 1: I overlooked it because I didn't think about that either,

451
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: celebrating Hey, he helped them win. He knew better he was.

452
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: He had a look on his face and we're like, wait,

453
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: you just saved your team. Why are you looking at one? Oh? Yeah,

454
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: he knew what was coming.

455
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 3: I didn't.

456
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 2: I didn't realize that at all. But now that makes

457
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 2: a lot of sense.

458
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: We are rooting for this kid harder than you will

459
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: ever believe. Now, worlds, he's gonna get up off that ice,

460
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: literally and figuratively, and really he's gonna be okay because

461
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: he's too talented not to be. But he's young.

462
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 3: He's young, twenty one, he's a baby.

463
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, what test did you fail? At twenty one? And

464
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: he did this in front of everybody, This is nothing

465
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: short of a failure, and that's okay, and that's what

466
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: life is. And sometimes they're on bigger stages and this

467
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: was the absolute biggest yes.

468
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 3: And as we know, when you live enough life.

469
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 2: I don't know what it's like to be an Olympian, obviously,

470
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 2: but I do know that it is through those times

471
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 2: when you fail and you fall and you have to

472
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 2: pick yourself back up, that is when you become a

473
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 2: better human and hopefully even a better athlete and certainly

474
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 2: a better teammate.

475
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 3: You just get this perspective.

476
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 2: If you're always winning, and he has been somebody who

477
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 2: has always won, sometimes you have to lose. Sometimes you

478
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 2: have to fall to find out what you're really made of.

479
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 2: And with that, everyone, we appreciate you as always listening

480
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 2: to us. Hope you're watching the Olympics like we are,

481
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 2: but will of course be following all the major headlines

482
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 2: for you. Thank you, Hope you have a wonderful Saturday today.

483
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 2: I'm Amy Robach alongside t. J. Holmes, and we will

484
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 2: talk to you very soon
