When hikers head out to the mountains this long weekend, many will reach for a well-worn copy of the Canadian Rockies Trail Guide. Here's the story of how the guide came to be.
simone biles is out of the team finals competition at the tokyo games with an apparent injury. joining us now from tokyo, nbc news correspondent stephanie gosk. what more do we know? you know, you can t overstate what a crushing blow this is for team usa tonight. we don t know much quite honestly. i can tell you that we were watching the competition. we saw simone biles do the vault and land in this very awkward way. and we all kind of winced even just watching it. and we know that in the qualifying round, there were a couple of really uncharacteristic missteps from her. she did a vault and stepped out of bounds. there was a tumbling pass where they went completely off the floor. didn t seem like the simone biles we had seen in the past. but as you know, she s going to go on and compete in the all around event and we don t know yet whether this is going to take her out of that.
