simone biles, she hopes simone knows the rest of team usa is completely behind her. in the relays, 4 by 100, team usa won. but today in the 4 by 200. caeleb dressel was not on that team. there s questions surrounding that. they did not win. they did not medal, but the best story so far in my opinion, at least one of the best stories has been lydia jacoby from alaska. this story is incredible. 17 years old. there s only one 50 meter pool to train in in all of alaska. she comes out of nowhere, all eyes were on king, the other american. she wins that race. i was feet from the pool. her face said it all. she was in shock. she told me she had no idea. she saw there wasn t a whole lot of splashing. she knew she was in a good spot. the best video was people celebrating in her hometown, and her parents celebrating in florida. coming out of the segment, you were talking about it, everything going on in the u.s., and all over the world, people look at the olympics for a
need to know obviously well before then, get it what happened at the white house, what happened inside the capitol grounds. we have heard so many stories, so many self-interested people inside the trump white house telling one reporter right after another, that they were running in t trying to talk reason into donald trump. we have heard republican senators saying that donald trump was standing in front of the tvas set cheering and was giddy at what was going on on that day, and he couldn t understand why other people weren t giddy at the sight of police officers being brutalized by americang flags. so much of that, though, right now, has just been leaked from trump insiders to book authors. we need to know all of that and more, but one thing we do know is thate those police officers that were there yesterday, and the other police officers that fought to protect and defending constitution of the united states are thede real heroes he.
time. everything was riding on her, and when the qualifying rounds didn t go as planned, it just really weighed on her, and she has been very up front about her, to her credit, a lot of people don t do. for athletes all over the world and in the u.s. struggling, this is a conversation that s expanded now. guys. if you can, give us a sense of some of the other notable events happening in tokyo. i mean, this is a big setback with simone biles, but there are other games going on. there are still great stories coming out of this. the swim team is also relying on each other. they have really just struck gold in so many different events and helped the medal count for team usa. katie ledecky, swimming the first ever 1,500. she won gold. a great race, and a great olympian, a real champion who has actually spoken out about

to u.s. gymnastics star simone biles who shocked most people yesterday when she pulled out of the team gymnastics finals, saying the emotional toll of the tokyo games, not a physical injury, prompted her withdrawal. i just felt like it would be a little bit better to take a backseat, work on my mindfulness, and i knew that the girls would do an absolutely great job. i say put mental health first, because if you done, you re not going to enjoy your sport, and you re not going to succeed as much as you want to, so it s okay sometimes to sit out the big competitions to focus on yourself. and the four time olympic gold medalist no longer plans to defend her title in tomorrow s final individual all around competition. usa gymnastics announced early this morning, biles has withdrawn from the event in order to focus on her mental health and that she will continue to be evaluated daily to determine whether or not to
