And all the top players are in this first on vault both biles and raisman tackled theame skill, a round off back handspring two and a half twists with a blind landing. Even with the step biles nabbed the top score with raisman in second place. Simone biles has done the job here. But the russians stepped up on the bars and biles fell behind. This hasnt happened very often in simone biles career. While raisman dropped to just a bevy of proble. On beam the russians wavered, but biles stuck the landing, back on top with raisman in third. That was big routine for aly raisman. Then team u. S. A. Took the floor. Raisman electrified. A return to the olympics has been worth it. No score needed for that routine. Biles defied graffiti with every leap and her signature move this has been her destiny all along. The night was theirs. Gold and silver medalists, one two. Biles took gold, raisman silver. The top two gymnasts in the world from the top team, the final five. Yay. All five members of the u. S. Womens Gymnastics Team are with ladies, good morning. Good morning. Okay. Simone, tell me about your dream last night. What happened . You woke up and did you dream about it . No, i didnt dream about it, but as soon as i woke up yesterday i walked into alys room and i said, i have a really good feeling about today and she said, me, too. You knew that. Do you know what was interesting, i was at the match watching you guys and you guys had done the vault and the unevens and i looked up at the big scoreboard a first, we were second, russia was third and we were fourth and i got to tell you my hands got a little sweaty. Simone, what were you thinking when you knew where the standings were at that point . I actually didnt really look at it because we just had to go to beams so quickly, but everyone told me every wards, but i dont even think it was a tenth apart. So its not something you can worry about because we only worry about our routines and not what the judges give us. You are so good. Your mom said you had nerves of steel. Your sister i want to let you know cried from the minute you stuck the last landing until the anthem was over. She had tears coming straight down. It was beautiful. Aly, over to you. When you finished your floor routine it was such an emotional beautiful wonderful moment for everybody in the audience. What was it like for you at that last moment when you finally knew you did something beautiful . Well, it was just a very special moment. I jus tears right away just thinking about all the hard work, you know, obviously four years ago when they broke the tie and i got fourth place it was very heart breaking but i just used it for motivation every single day in the gym and just being here in brazil it felt like we were in the arena in the u. S. , everyone was standing up and cheering and screaming for us. It was a very special moment i will never ever forget. Your parents were doing their signature moves, too, as they always do. Was going to throw up the whole time. Is that what she said . Yes. Gabby, you won this last year, i mean, last olympics. What did you say to your two teammates after they scored so well . I told them that they did an amazing job and they deserved it and they worked so hard in the gym, they are just such hard workers and im so happy for them. Im so happy for you guys. I love them so much and it was a phenomenal competition to watch. Sunday on the unevens, we will wish you the best of luck. Lorry, this is i think an instagram that your brother wrote to you, he wrote, its blowing my mind how the same little girl i used to see doing flips on my bed at age six now has a gold medal. And do you know what, guys oh, we have something for you. Okay. Simone, i think there is a podium, is it to your right . Do you see a podium with something with a covering or sheet over it . And reveal whats under there . Pick it up . Yes, just take the covering off for a second. Oh, yes. Its a kelloggs box. Oh, my gosh. You all look so good. And then on the back. We are so, so, so proud of you. We are going to let you check that out. Thank you. Again, the final five. Simmon, aly, lorry, gabby, madison. Aly tonight on the nbc nightly news with lester holt. Thank you so much. Thank you. Lets throw it over to matt. Very cool. Thank you. Now to swimming and last night that highly anticipated duel in the pool between Michael Phelps and ryan lochte, phelps took the gold in the 200 meter im while lochte did not medal, but hes going to leave rio as the second most decorated male swimmer of all time and that is a huge deal. I know this wasnt the outcome you wanted last night. Were you feeling right before the race . Did you feel off . You know, i was definitely feeling great right before it 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 kind of hurt me towards the end, but, you know, it happens. Yeah, you sai that you need a mental and physical break from the sport. Talk me through that and do you feel the same way this morning . I definitely feel the same way. Its i havent taken a break since i first started swimming. The longest break ive taken was a month and, you know, going day in, day out and just beating up your body takes a toll and being at the age that i am right now, its definitely time that i need a break, but i cant say its over. The combination and the rivalry and the 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 definitelyay that. Definitely an inspiration, just what he has accomplished in the sport and, you know, he brings theest o of me and hopefully i can say the same to him. You know, the rivalry that we have created and friendship, its definitely im definitely going to cherish it for the rest of my life. Do you want to look in the camera and say, michael, i will see you in tokyo . Do you know what, i can definitely say that because i guarantee he will be there. Do you really . I think so. I really think so. So, michael, i will see you in tokyo. Okay. We make news here. Thats good. Ryan, congratulations. Thank you. Really a pleasure seeing you. Thanks very much. And before we send it to new york a reminder you can catch olympics, thats tonight 8 00, 7 00 central time here on nbc. So they will see each other in tokyo, savannah. Back to you. And i promise to be there to see that, guys. Thank you so much. There you go. Now to politics and the firestorm in the president ial race over Donald Trumps labeling of president obama as the founder of isis and Hillary Clinton its cofounder. Trump is tweeting about that controversy this morning. Is he backing off amid talks of a possible party revolt as well. Latest political headlines. Good morning. Reporter good morning to you. Lots going on. This new defense now for donald trump, tweeting just moments ago his accusations president obama founded isis were sarcasm asking why people didnt get it. This is very different from what trump has said over the last 24 hours when he repeated that false claim about the president , even when asked about it again and again, given the opportunity to walk it back, he did not. Report of a huddle with trump staffers calling it nothing more than a standard meeting on ground game as trump tries to get his campaign back on track. This morning new push back on reports of an emergency meeting planned for today between Donald Trumps staffers and gop Party Leaders after several Straight Days of controversy from the candidate. The latest labeling president obama an isis founder. He is the founded isis but doubling down doesnt begin to describe what trump it doing. He is the founder. Founder, founder of isis. Everybody in this country knows exactly what donald trump means. I know what you meant, you meant that you created the vacuum no, i meant he is the founder of isis. Reporter as trump takes aim at democrats the republican rift is going nowhere. A new letter signed by dozens of Party Insiders asks the rnc to focus on saving the Senate Majority in case he loses in a landslide. Sometimes somebody will say were not going to support trump. Theyre not going to support because these are not the people i want. Reporter trumps team taking aim at a report showing a top aid to Hillary Clinton traveled for business for the Clinton Foundation while working at the state department raising questions about blurred lines. Clintons campaign now calling suggestions of a conflict of interest absurd saying the aide volunteered her time olympicthemed attack on trump, arguing he is not strong, but scared. If team u. S. A. Was as fearful as trump, Michael Phelps and simone biles would be cowering in the locker room. Instead theyre winning gold medals. Reporter as early as today clinton is expected to release her 2015 tax returns and ten years of her running mates. A move intended to put pressure her campaign out with a new web video this morning featuring conservative voices reiterating that message. Trump has said he is under audit and will release his returns once that audit is wrapped up. Savannah. Hallie jackson, thank you so much. Lets head back to rio and the guys and gal.

This stunning city is home to about 7 mon quarter of them live in 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 under the shadow of rios christ 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 often houses look precarious to an outsider but t people that live in them, they rebuilt the homes several times over threeges. Ti you s building materls 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. It seems like a huge issue here. 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 commues kind of run things or have 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. 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 a to make sure that everything 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. 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 jealousy, how do they feel about 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 theres an element of people are born and raised for 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.

Before fibromyalgia, i was active. I was energetic. Then the chronic, widespread pain drained my energy. My doctor said moving more helps ease fibromyalgia pain. He also prescribed lyrica. Fibromyalgia is thought to be the result of overactive nerves. Lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. For some, lyrica can significantly relieve fibromyalgia pain so i feel better. Lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. Tell yr doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. Or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. Common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs and feet. Dont drink alcohol while taking lyrica. Dont drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. With less pain, i can be more active. Ask your doctor about lyrica. Back now at 7 51.

Ryan lochte is going to beat Michael Phelps in this event. Phelps might not even make the podium. Realized his mistake and 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. Connor tweets, these things happen.
