Right now, welcome everybody to this 0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:30.440 tea from Paris edition of Amy and TJ. Again, we're 0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:32.680 not married to that name Peter Perry, but in this 0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:36.640 episode an edge of your Seat Men's all Around final 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:40.240 where the gold medal was decided on the very last 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:41.600 routine of the night. 0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:45.480 It was a nail bier. Plus Katie Ladecci's only competition 0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:50.519 in the pool yesterday was well, Katie Ladecci lebron. Katie 0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:53.480 and crew win, but there is a reason to root 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:57.440 for their opponent. US women advance in soccer, and it 0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:01.960 is now official Cocoa Golf will be leaving Paris without 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:03.200 an Olympic medal. 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:06.240 Well, so how was your swim in the river sin? 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.959 When athletes responds to that question, I'm definitely going to 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:13.120 be using the bathroom later. We'll explain. That's what an 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:16.560 American tennis player quits her match because of extreme heat 0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:19.240 and then things got heated with her opponent. 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:23.240 And Simone and Sunny are competing today for the most 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:27.000 coveted title at the Olympics. This is the event that 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:31.920 everyone looks forward to every Summer Olympics, and that's exciting. 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:36.119 But there is also another event that you've been very 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:38.399 excited about that you already watched this morning. 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:41.440 Oh yeah, I set my alarm to watch racewalking this morning. 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.240 It's just one of those things you never get to see. 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:46.319 Chris Paul did it in that State Farm commercial. But 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:48.560 other than that, I haven't seen racewalking in four years, 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:50.960 since the last Olympics. For all three years, I guess Tokyo. 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:57.040 But it is the best. It's fascinating to watch. Twenty 0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:00.200 twenty K so they have to go as about too. 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:01.720 Is that almost a half marathon? 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:01.880 Right? 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:02.040 Well? 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:04.520 Yeah, twelvee a half miles two point four to big exact. 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:06.720 But it's it's one of those things you never get 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:08.040 to see, and people even call it weird. 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:12.120 It's funny. It's just female what they have to do. 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:16.360 I'm not knocking the athleticism, but It is funny to watch, 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:19.360 especially if you're a runner, even perhaps to see people, 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:21.160 because you can't lift your feet off the ground. 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.320 So it's the technical rule there racewalking. What is it? 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:28.240 You cannot both feet cannot be off the ground at 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:29.880 the same time. Of course, if you're running and you 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:31.280 think about it, yes, of course you come off the 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.200 ground both feet. That's one of the rules. Also, your 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:37.280 front leg, the knee has to stay. Can't be bent. 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:38.800 What front leg? 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:40.520 Oh, that's why it's so funny when. 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:42.400 You start, I said, oh, that makes sense, now, why 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:44.440 you haven't do that? And you do get a violation 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:46.679 if you get three, it's a two minute penalty and 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:48.960 you have to So they're watching you very very closely. 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:51.560 But do you remember what I say? Twelve point four 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:53.960 miles a half marathon. 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:54.919 Is was thirteen point one? 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:58.959 Okay, So tell folks, how how long does it take 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.239 us to run a half? We've done soveral, which is 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:02.280 generally how long does it take? 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:06.280 Well, so my best ever is one hour and fifty 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.919 four minutes to run a half marathon. 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:12.000 An hour and fifty four minutes. Again, that's thirteen miles 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.680 versus they're doing twelve point four the young lady I 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:18.160 watch today, Wing Gold in race walking did it in 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:19.359 an hour and twenty five minutes. 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:23.519 Oh my goodness. That is that's perspective, right. 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:27.640 There's perspective, folks. They are walking faster than anybody watching 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:29.200 can run a mile. 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.960 Wow, run a mile? You mean? Oh, you're saying they 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.839 walk faster than we can run. They walk a mile. 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.240 Faster than you can run a mile. 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:42.240 Our pace, what I mean, A good pace for me 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.000 is eight forty five to have it be long distance, 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:46.480 and eight forty five is a good pace. 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:50.760 The men in race walking are doing under seven minute miles. 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:55.160 And I have never don run any race that quickly. 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.280 I could run a mile like that or maybe two, 0:03:57.360 --> 0:03:59.280 but I could not do more than that. 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:01.400 It is one of my It's impressive. So that happened today. 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:02.760 You still get a chance if you listen to our 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:04.600 voys that they are having some replays. You will be 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:06.680 able to catch it on USA today if you get 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:09.880 up early enough. But that is a blast. You missed 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:12.840 that this morning. We're fencing up on the TV right now. 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:16.400 There was some some table tennis action this morning, So. 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.520 You set your alarm once again for three forty five. 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:22.719 I got up at five, So I missed all of that. 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:24.800 But maybe I can rewatch some stuff. But you know what, 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:26.960 I would even rewatch, but we watched yesterday. 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:27.920 I don't want to see that again. 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:34.039 It was amazing the men's all around final. There were 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:38.640 some gutting moments. There were some exhilarating moments for all 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:40.960 of the men competing, but for the two US men, 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.400 it was tough. You know, we planned our entire day 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:48.680 around watching this competition. We were preparing lunch, so we 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:50.800 had the TV and the kitchen going on, and the 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:53.880 TV in the living room going on. But right when 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.880 the event started, we were still getting lunch ready, and 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.960 before we could even get our food on the plate, 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:05.400 we just ah, it was disaster for one of our 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:06.640 favorite American gymnasts. 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.240 And we all, look, it's one thing we're always rooting 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:12.000 for the American athletes, but this is one Why did 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:15.640 this feel so personal? I felt? When we're talking about 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:21.200 Frederick Richard, superstar, viral star as well social media star, 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:24.360 but he was the guy going into this that everybody 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:27.680 thought had a real chance for the all around. His 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:31.159 first event was the pommel horse. His very first event 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:33.919 robes was this even a quarter of a way into 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.279 his event, he fell on the palmer. 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:38.440 I feel like it was within the first thirty seconds, right, 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:40.719 And I have honestly right now. You know, I always 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:42.720 get chills, but I have chills right now because I'm 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:44.880 reliving it in my head, you know. And you even 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:47.280 hear the commentators talk about what a good guy this 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:50.280 kid is, and he is a kid. He's twenty years old, 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:53.240 but you were rooting for him, and then his hand 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:55.640 just slipped, and you know, they put the chalk on 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.320 their hands for grip, but also can cause some slippage 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:01.240 because it's slippery, as you might imagine, and it just 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:05.120 for whatever reason is probably just nerves and all of 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:07.800 the things that go into being up on the pommel horse. 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:10.640 And everyone talks about that being a really tough event, 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.720 and once he slipped and fell, it was nearly impossible 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:15.560 for him to catch up. 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:20.360 You talk about this first event, you were talking less 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:23.320 than an inch of it. If his hand had been 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:27.200 maybe to the left, just a half an inch, he 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:30.040 would have stayed on the pommel horse. And that is 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:33.479 why this sport is so devastating, and just that one 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:36.120 little thing at the beginning, and his day was essentially 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:40.520 over and we screamed in the kitchen. We like it 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:43.799 hurt us so back. Can't imagine what he was going through. 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:46.839 But this is how you get into these guys, these girls, 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.880 and these stories and the Olympics, and it just it 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:51.599 pains you to see it sometime. But he had a 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:52.760 tough one and so does a teammate. 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:57.440 Yeah, and anyone who has ever watched or been a 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:03.600 part of the gymnastics sport, it is always about perfection 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:05.680 and that's what makes it so tough because if you 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:10.520 are less than perfect and these points, these scores come 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:14.960 down to just fractions, and so yes, one misstep, especially 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:18.040 a fall, but even a babble can cost you a medal. 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.800 And that's what happened to Paul Judah. He had his 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.080 own issues. He had a really bad stumble on his 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:26.520 landing on the vault and he nearly went off the mat. 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:30.040 And again we just went, oh no. So you know, 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:32.760 Judah and Richard, we should mention finished fourteenth and fifteenth. 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.920 That is respectable, but not certainly what they had hoped for. 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.560 They were both, or especially one of them, hoping for 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:43.600 a medal. But other than that, the event was thrilling. 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:46.440 If you didn't have a country you were specifically rooting for. 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:50.160 Just watching this year, level of talent was remarkable. It 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:54.320 was you couldn't even believe what these men were pulling 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.280 off and the precision with which they were doing it. 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:59.160 The gymnasts from Japan and China and Ukraine and Great Britain, 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.920 they were showstoppers, and up until the very end they 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:04.720 were in the mix to get a medal, and you 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:06.040 didn't know who was gonna get what. 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.200 But this is one of those things where if you 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:13.240 watch any other sport, if it's two outs, bottom of 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:16.080 the ninth type of situation and the team is down by one, 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:19.160 if there's I don't know, two seconds left on the 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:22.160 clock and Tom Brady just drove his team down to 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:23.920 the forty five yard line. Now the kicker had to 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:26.720 come out and make a kick to win the Super Bowl. 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:30.640 This is what happened in gymnastics yesterday in a way 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:36.559 that I haven't quite seen it myself. But China's Jong Bohong, 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:41.360 he is a stud in this sport. Now he had 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:44.360 the high bar. He's the last competitor go on the 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:49.720 last apparatus. So this is the ultimate Olympic and sporting moment, 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:53.760 last man to go, last rotation. All you have to 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:56.280 do to get a gold medal is this, get a 0:08:56.320 --> 0:09:00.320 score of at least fourteen point eight six six to do. 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.439 That's funny. All that is a really hard score. 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:05.600 I think a lot of but a lot of athletes 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:08.440 will tell you. You tell me what my target is. 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.960 You tell me, you tell me. Any any one of 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:15.240 those Olympians yesterday would have said, hey, would you take 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.760 this scenario that you need a fourteen point eight sixty six, 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:21.800 It's in your control. They would take that. So he 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.240 needed a fourteen point eight sixty six. He got a 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:27.720 fourteen point six three three and had to settle for silver. 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.360 I mean, he still seemed pretty happy, but of course 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:33.440 everyone wants the gold, especially at that level. But the 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:37.240 man who got it, Japan's shinoska Oka, got the gold, 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:41.120 and he certainly deserved it. It was remarkable to watch 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:44.960 him do what he did on all six of those events. 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:50.360 He was almost nearly perfect. But this was a big 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:52.640 win for Japan in general because this is the fourth 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:56.600 straight Olympic title for Japanese men, and it's always a 0:09:56.600 --> 0:10:00.760 big rivalry between Japan and China. I loved watching when 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:05.200 Japan got gold and China got silver, and that's exactly 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.240 what happened in the all around as well, but the 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:10.280 team finals. But I loved watching the camaraderie between the two. 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:14.840 They were congratulating each other, and that's something that you appreciate, 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:17.280 and with all the discord we have, that's one of 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:19.320 the things we love about the Olympics is to see 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:23.760 countries competing and then congratulating one another, supporting one another, 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:26.520 even cheering one another on. That's the beauty of the 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:27.440 Olympics because. 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:29.840 They understand the sacrifice the way nobody else can what 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:42.200 it takes to do that. So now all we have left, 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:45.520 we have one day of men's gymnastics left, I guess, 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:47.560 and that's when they go for the individual medals on 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:51.240 the individual on the individual disciplines. So I get to 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.839 hear my boy justin Spring one more time, the commentator 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.600 that I absolutely love. I cannot give this guy enough 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.280 credit for how he guides us all kind of through 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.280 what we're seeing and he I just love the guy. 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:05.000 But the only chance to see an American male is the 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:08.920 pommel horse specialist now who became, I guess, a viral 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:14.080 glasses wearing sensation Stephen Netta Rozzik who brought it home 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:16.440 on the pommel horse for Team USA to win that bronze, 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:20.360 he'll go for an individual medal on pommel horse. What 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:23.360 is that? I think it might be tomorrow, my Friday 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:23.920 or Saturday. 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:25.559 I think it's this weekend, but we can double check, 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:26.200 but not today. 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:27.880 At least we'll give you the update, don't. We don't 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:28.960 want to if you look it up. 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:33.040 But something to look forward to, for sure. Gosh, Katie 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:36.960 Ledecki is always someone to look forward to, and she 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:40.320 has joined a group of very distinguished American women with 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:44.080 her win yesterday in the fifteen hundred freestyle. She now 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:47.280 has twelve career Olympic medals and that ties her with 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:50.320 three other American women for the most swimming medals of 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:53.640 all times, Natalie Coughlan, Jenny Thompson and Dearren Torres. Correct, 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:57.000 and those are the greats. But my daughters had been away. 0:11:57.040 --> 0:12:00.920 They came back yesterday afternoon, right when Katie was swimming 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:03.040 the fifteen hundred, and I had to stop, you know, Ava, 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:05.440 she loves to talk in the middle of Okay, I 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:07.440 love you, Ave, but I have to watch this. And 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:10.360 we were just jaws dropped. You had told me, like, 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:13.640 when she does this, she's so far ahead. She was 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:18.840 ten seconds r ten seconds ahead of her nearest competitor, 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:21.959 and in swimming it's usually like one one hundredth of 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:24.160 a second, So to be ten seconds ahead and to 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:28.199 just watch her every race, it was the most one 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:31.760 of the most incredible things I have ever watched. To 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:35.960 see her be that much more elite in this particular 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:40.160 event than any other person in the world, it's it was. 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:41.240 It was amazing. 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:43.280 Oh, you should see her in like the trials or 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:47.120 smaller events than she laps people in the pool. So 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:49.960 this event is actually the longest swimming event out there, 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:55.040 the fifteen hundred. She has the twenty fastest times ever 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:56.360 in the history of the event. 0:12:57.720 --> 0:12:58.439 In the world. 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:02.640 The twenty fast times anybody has ever done this event 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:05.560 all belong to Katie Ladecki. Look, all you can argue 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:09.959 all of these Olympians are great athletes. You can argue, hell, 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:12.640 the linebackers at the University of Georgia are great athletes. 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:14.599 I think you could argue that for Katie. 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.640 Ldeki though, is a great, She's an all time great. 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:20.840 She still separates herself in an event like this. She 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:24.000 is keep watch. She says she's going to do twenty 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:27.079 twenty eight. But you just we need to marvel every 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:28.760 time she swims. You need to stop what you're doing, 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:29.040 you know. 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.360 And speaking of that, it's just to get some perspective here. 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:35.360 She her first Olympics was back in twenty twelve in London. 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.800 She was one of the youngest women on the team. 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:40.560 She was just fifteen years old. And now she is 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:44.120 among the oldest swimmers at twenty seven. And look at 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:46.560 what she is doing and to say she's coming back 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:50.559 potentially again is pretty remarkable. I love seeing older athletes 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:54.400 just continue, not just continue their level of athleticism, but 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:58.240 bring it up and keep getting better. That is remarkable. 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:00.240 And you know what, I also loved watching her at 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:02.920 the end because this was uncharacteristic of her. She got emotional. 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:06.360 She pounded the pool's surface with her right arm once 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:08.560 she finished, and then when she walked out of the pool, 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:11.439 she pumped her fist and raised both arms in the air, 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:14.200 and well she should, but it was awesome to see 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:17.679 her celebrate the moment and take it in because that's 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:20.000 something sometimes athletes don't get to do. 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:22.520 She does have two more events this week, one of 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:24.720 them today actually the four by two, which I think 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.600 American women certainly are favored to get a medal in 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:32.080 that one. But perspective here, this is how many events, 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:35.440 how many times i've Michael Phelps is somebody I used 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:37.360 to work in California in the Bay Area when he 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:39.600 before he even started his Olympic career, used to cover 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:41.760 him a little bit, and then followed him and covered 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:43.920 him in Rio, and we talked about how great he 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:47.000 is now. And we talk about Katie le Deckey has 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:51.360 twelve medals. This dude's got twenty eight. He has more 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:56.360 actually gold medals than anyone just has medals in the Olympics. 0:14:57.280 --> 0:15:00.800 This is some perspective about all of the greatness and 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:05.600 how he still stands well ahead of anybody in this 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:09.040 But she is going to become, I think if she 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:13.280 gets two medals, the most decorated behind Phelps in terms 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:14.760 of all time medals men or women. 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:16.920 Well, right now, with those other women we just mentioned 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:20.960 her twelve medals, she's tied for the second most medals 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:23.560 of any US Olympic athlete, male or female. But yes, 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:26.600 Michael Phelps is leaps and bounds ahead but she'll be 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:27.280 right behind him. 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.880 But she's I think Jenny Thompson has eight goals the deck. 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:35.080 He has eight goals, but I think Brian Lockey has twelve. 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:37.680 Isn't that crazy? Ryan Locke wow has I think he 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:39.720 has twelve medals, but he doesn't have as many the 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:43.480 gold count. But all these names, they come become household names, 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:45.640 right and we know these guys remember them because of 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:48.800 these moments they have. So please catch her today if 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:52.440 you can. We did catch the US USA men's basketball team. 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:57.080 They had a rematch with upstart South Sudan yesterday. Now 0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:59.720 it was an exhibition game last month that the US team, 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:02.720 of course has all these NBA champions, MVP's future Hall 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.280 of famers. They actually had to come from behind in 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:07.320 that exhibition last month, and it took a bucket by 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:11.760 Lebron with seconds to go to beat South Sudan by 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:12.800 one point. 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:14.440 So you were looking for a tight match. 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:18.440 I was looking for a competitive fun maybe to get pushed, 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:20.600 certainly after what we saw a month ago. They only 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:23.880 beat this South Sudan is brand new team by a point, 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:27.920 being by seventeen yesterday, and it probably wasn't even that close. 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:30.360 But the US is going to advance with the quarterfinals 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:33.000 that now start next week with South Sudan. It's been 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.880 one of those fun stories that some darlings, if you will. 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:40.040 They won their first ever Olympic game with this new 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:43.360 team of scrappy guys from South Sudan, so it's their fun. 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:45.000 To watch and it's cool to see what will happen 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:48.880 next because US Team USA plays Puerto Rico next. But 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:52.920 for some just an interesting point, South Sudan beat Puerto Rico, 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:55.800 so it looks pretty good for Team USA three. But 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:58.080 now yeah, of course, but just for in terms of 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:02.440 beating Puerto Rico. But now South Sudan has to play Servia, 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:04.560 so we'll see. They're not out yet, so we'll see 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:06.920 what happens with that, but we're rooting for them as well, 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:11.440 right behind Team USA. Speaking of Team USA and who 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:15.280 we're rooting for, the US women, the soccer team, they 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:18.080 won their group by beating Australia yesterday two to one. 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:21.000 They're gonna move on to the quarterfinals. They will play 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:24.400 Japan on Saturday. They are one of three teams women's 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:27.760 teams to win all three of their group play. So 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:29.959 Spain has won all of their games. Canada has won 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:33.040 all of their games, and we will see this is 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:34.359 going to be a tight match going forward. 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:38.520 All we put together like a rundown for this. Every 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:42.199 day we do an episode about the Olympics and collection 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:44.400 of these stories and we kind of write some stuff out. 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:46.600 The shortest write up we have today is about the 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:50.120 US women's soccer team, because it seems like there's no detail. Yeah, 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:52.760 they won one big moving on, it seems like we're not. 0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:55.280 I tried to find that a little fun fact to 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:57.680 add something to it. But yes, we're killing it. We're 0:17:57.680 --> 0:17:58.960 doing great well. 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:02.960 Unforus of a Coco. Her Olympics is over. She won't 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:05.439 be coming home with a medal. She lost her singles 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:07.080 match earlier this week. We told you about that. She 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:09.359 still had two other chances to get a medal, in 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:13.680 doubles and in mixed doubles. She lost in both. Yesterday, 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:17.959 she and her teammate were the top seeded pair in 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:20.920 women's doubles. They lost in a tiebreaker, and then in roades. 0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:23.359 Later in the day, she lost her mixed doubles match 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:24.680 in a tiebreaker as well. 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:27.080 Yeah, and it's so disappointing because she came in as 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:29.240 one of the biggest stars of the Olympics. You remember 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:32.600 she was a flag by bearer along with Lebron James. 0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:35.600 She's the reigning US Open champion. She had such high 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:38.800 hopes of at least one medal, and this was her 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:41.600 first Olympics. But remember it was supposed to be her second. 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:44.679 She was supposed to be in Tokyo. She made the 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:47.440 US team as a seventeen year old, but just days 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:50.440 before the competition, she tested positive for COVID had to 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:52.439 pull out. So this was kind of her big moment. 0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:54.919 She is just twenty. There will be more to come. 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:59.280 But she said this after everything and she realized she 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:01.040 wasn't gonna have a metal. She said, I'll try to 0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:04.320 take the positive and do better next time. So she's 0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:08.200 already looking forward, but certainly a huge disappointment for her. 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:11.160 That's got to be tough when expectations are set so high. 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:13.800 It's just tough when you can't meet them. 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:17.399 And she set them right. She set them by her performer, 0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:20.280 we have an expectations sometimes with these athletes, and of 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:23.040 course they can't win all the time. But do you 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:25.280 remember I forgot about Tokyo, and I was like, oh, 0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:28.320 that's right, Yeah, I got she was on the day 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:30.480 of her flight. I think she had a positive COVID 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:33.439 test and had about Yeah, that was a we forget 0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:36.200 how ugly that Olympics and MESSI they was. We celebrate 0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:38.760 just that it went off. But it was a tough, 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:39.719 tough go last night. 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:42.280 Oh, I was in the state. It was so odd 0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:45.240 just to be in the stands with no fans, just 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:49.520 journalists and it was just Earie. It was an eerie, strange, 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:53.040 bizarre Olympics where I don't That's what makes this Olympics 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:55.400 so great. I think just to see the fan fair, 0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:59.200 to see everyone there, to see families up in the stands, 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:01.800 it makes it's a huge difference for the athletes and 0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:05.760 it's just it's it feels so much more celebratory and 0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:08.879 supported in a way that it just didn't in Tokyo. 0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:20.840 We're gonna turn now to what has been one of 0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:25.159
