As soon as i woke up yesterday i walkeded into alys room and i said i have a really good feeling about today. She said me too. You know, it was interesting. I was at the match watching you guys and you guys had done the vault and unevens and i looked up at the big scoreboard and my hands got sweaty. Simone, what were you thinking when you knew where standings were at that point . I actually didnt really look at it because we just had to go to beam so quickly. Everyone told me afterwards that i dont even think it was a tenth apart. Its not something you can worry about. We can only worry about the routines and not what judges give us. Of steel. Your sister cried from the minute you struck the last landing until the anthem was over. It was beautiful. Aly, when you finished your floor routine, it was such an emotional, beautiful, wonderful moment for everyone in the audience.

To swimming and last night that highly anticipated duel in the pool between Michael Phelps and ryan lochte. Phelps took gold while lochte did not medal. Hell leave rio as the second most decorated swimmer of all time. Thats a huge deal. Ryan, good morning to you. Were you feeling right before the race . Did you feel off . You know, i was definitely feeling great right before and just something happened in the middle of the race where, i dont know, it just fell apart. You were leading by a fraction and phelps surged and did you just not have anything in the tank to go after him . I think i used too much energy in the front half and that hurt me toward the end. You know, it happens. You said after the race that you need a ml break from the sport. Talk me through that and do you feel the same way this morning . I definitely feel the same way. I havent taken a break since i first started swimming. The longest break ive taken was a month and going day in and day out and beating up your body takes a toll and being at the age i am right now, its definitely time i need a break. Cant say its over. Im glad to hear that. Combination and rivalry and friendship between you and michael. Is it fair to say, ryan, that he in your career has served both as an inspiration and a frustration . Yes, you can definitely say that. Definitely an inspiration. Just what hes accomplished in the sport. You know, he brings the best out of me. Hopefully i can say the same for him. The rivalry definitely going to challenge it for the rest of my life. Do you want to look in the camera and say, michael, ill see you in tokyo .

This stunning city is home to about 7 Million People and up to quarter of them communities known as favelas. These are rios poorest neighborhoods. There are about 1,000 in this city alone. You can see them everywhere. They climb up the hillsides. Theyre named for the favela tree that grows in this area and theyre synonymous with poverty and crime. Thats not the whole story. We went to one of rios oldest favela and found that life is both challenging and colorful. The redeemer sits a community named for a saint. What are challenges living in a favela . Health, education. Those are top priorities. Few residents would stop to speak with us on camera for fear of associating with our group traveling with a police escort. Often h to an outsider but to people that live in them, they rebuilt the homes several times over three generations. You see Building Materials everywhere. You see stacks of cement. It looks chaotic. These are people who are developing plastering a wall. These are people who are slowly but surely improving their homes. We talked about basic services. Everywhere you look theres garbage. It is. It constantly piles up unless the government comes in and cleans it or Community Members do it, which both can happen and do happen occasionally but not frequently enough. You know, theres graffiti everywhere. Not only here in the but also in rio. In communities where they kind of run thi historically youll see that graffiti. Means thats their territory. Gangs still have a presence here. A program launched by police eight years ago promised to make things safer and to some extent it has. Heavily armed officers patrol the favela wearing body iron with their names and blood type stitched over their hearts. Community and Police Working he says the police and community are like a family. Sometimes he says they have problems but they try to solve them in a way that benefits both sides. I was talking to a member of the military police. I kept asking him, is it safe here . Is it safe here . He kept saying yes, yes, yes and yet hes wearing a bulletproof vest and two of his fellow officers followed him out of the Police Station and to be perfectly honest, they are following us everywhere we go. O is okay. Is it safe . It was much safer two years ago than it is now. Because the economy turned down its gone bad again . Part of it is economy decline. Part of it is policing program itself lost respect as it rolled out so in other places where there was widespread abuse and part of it is that people were much more hopeful. Hope remains. This man opened a shop six people outside have an opinion. What dont they understand . He said its become peaceful. He lived here for 50 years and now he sells snacks and drinks to tourists. The people here at the end of the day get ready to go to bed, they look down and see the lights of rio. Thats sugarloaf right over there. They see modern rio down here. Is there a sense here of envy, life down there . I think theres both. People envy. Thats why you have high crime rates. Part of the reason and also the desperation and inequality. Do they want to be there . Not necessarily. People are born and raised in these communities. Theyre very culturally vibrant. They dont see the same sense of community in those neighborhoods. They may walk down during the day and work down there and at night this is where they want to return for their sense of community and comfort. Theres an element of people generations and this is where they can create their lives. This is where they have control over their outcomes. Often theres a cultural element where they dont even imagine what it would be like to live there and people who live there cant imagine what it is like to live here. Theyre right next to each other but theyre worlds apart. Its important as we sit on this beautiful beach on most days to remember there are two sides of rio. Absolutely. Great piece.

Ryan lochte going for his 13th career medal saving the best for last. Finally hes going to do it. Ryan lochte is going to beat Michael Phelps in this event. Phelps might not even make the podium. Well, seconds later ee apologized on air. Social media is not the place you go when you need a tender hock. Users mocked him online. The overwhelming majority came to his defense.
