He makes it look easy right now. And the United States is onto the quarterfinals. This was a tremendous routine. Announcer from nbc news, this is a special edition of today at the Olympic Games with matt lauer live from rio de janeiro, brazil, and Savannah Guthrie live from rockefeller plaza. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to a split edition from rio and new york. Can we start by saying its a Beautiful Day. Can we show you a shot of the most decorated u. S. Woman in olympic track and field history. That is Allyson Felix. She now has [ applause ] a dramatic finish to the 400 meter. Incredible one. Also it was the finish that people will be watching for a long, long time. It was a dive that ended in basically a photo finish. Today is also the final day of gymnastics. Simone biles is looking to bounce back on the floor. She finally proved by the way that shes human, all right. She lost her balance on the beam. Ended up with a bronze medal. You have to give it to 16yearold Laurie Hernandez. She made the most of her lone individual event nabbing the silver. They hugged it out afterwards. Hear from both of them in a little bit. A pretty dramatic night yesterday. Ups and downs. Lets head back to new york and savannah joins us now. What have you got cooking there . Good morning. We have a big story here. They call this the worst flooding since Superstorm Sandy. The latest on flooding going on in louisiana right now. This morning we have a birdseye view of the damage and destruction as new communities are put on alert for water that is still rising. Well have that in a moment. All right, savannah. Thanks very much. Lets bring in natalie in for a look at the olympic action from a day that saw the u. S. Not winning a gold medal for the first time, first olympic day since the 12th day of beijing. Wow. I know. Its incredible. You mentioned that dramatic track finish and a rare slip from simone biles. There was also weather and technical issues that made monday a day to remember. A dive by miller for the line. In the womens 400 meters, a photo finish. Shaunae miller winning gold and upsetting Allyson Felix in her signature event. Now felix. Catching up to miller, felix had eyes on a fifth gold medal but at the last second, miller threw herself over the line. Despite the second place finish, felix is now the most decorated woman in track and field history winning her seventh medal in what could be her last olympic competition. Its been a fight all season. I gave it all i had tonight. The dramatic race capping an already chaotic day here in rio. Heavy rain delayed several events. Earlier in the day, an overhead camera broke away from its cable at the olympic park causing seven minor injuries. When the events resumed, kenyas david won his second consecutive gold in the 800 meter. American Clayton Murphy took bronze. In pole vault, another bronze for the americans. Sam kendricks rocketing over the bar earning the u. S. s first medal in the event since 2004 but for other olympians a day of frustration and heartbreak. A false start in round one of the 110 hurdles. Tearing off his bib as we left the track. His olympic hopes dashed. For gymnastics superstar simone biles, a rare misstep. Slipping on the balance beam nearly falling off. The 19 year old finished strong but it wasnt enough to come heavily favored to win the event, biles came away with bronze while her teammate 16yearold Laurie Hernandez took silver. Her first individual medal. Edging out the americans. Sanne wevers of the netherlands. Biles, who already has three gold medals, will have another shot later today in the floor exercise. For mens Beach Volleyball, its the end of the line. Phil dalhuasser and nick lucena falling to brazil after a dismal first set. The americans came back, forcing a tiebreaker. And he puts it away but the brazilians rallied, cheered on by their hometown fans. Brazil has beaten the United States. Tonight april ross and Kerri Walsh Jennings will compete in the semifinals with jennings two victories away from her fourth straight olympic gold. Heres where the medal count stands this morning. Team usa still with a commanding lead followed by china, Great Britain, and russia. Highlighting todays events, again it is the last day of gymnastics, including that floor finals for the women. In track and field mens high jump final and usain bolt back in action in the mens 200. And Beach Volleyball, team usa the women taking on brazil. Semifinals. Lets go. Its midnight. Al and i were at the mens game yesterday. It was tough to watch. Brazil played well. Can we bring in somebody we love on this show. Allyson felix who was just denied gold by that dive in the 400 meters. Good morning. Nice to see you. Good to see you guys. Did you know who won at the end of the race . Were you sure . I wasnt sure, no. I was staring up at the board trying to see how it would sort out. Take me through the last 10, 15 meters of that. I just dug deep. To me this year has been all about fighting and so i knew i was just going to give all i had and fight and i felt like i did that. You know, i left it all out there. Not every day you see a dive like that in track and field. Is that something that as a track athlete youre used to seeing or does this happen every now and then . Not used to seeing that. It happens every now and then. Its not too common. You have said to us in the past that the 400 meters is a beast. It is. From start to finish, you said i left everything out there. You have no choice. How did you feel during the race . It wasnt my best race. I felt like it got a little bit away from me and coming home is when i just tried to give all i had. Its outside of my comfort zone. I feel like im a sprinter and its stepping a little bit outside of what im used to. Can we point out that with the silver medal you are the most decorated track runner, olympian, in u. S. History. Have you been able to get your head around that title . Not quite. You know, it is something that i am definitely very, very proud of. Its been so many years and so much hard work and something that to be in the same sentence as jackie joynerkersee thats going to take time to sink in. Talk about the journey. There have been ups and there have been downs and yet here you are with another medal in 2016. Its been a wild year. In april i had a crazy accident in the gym. I had this ankle injury. At that moment i thought that i wasnt going to be here at all. You came to the today show on crutches a month and a half ago or Something Like that. It was pretty crazy. And then from then on my beloved chloe passed, my dog, and then just before i left from the states, my grandfather passed. It seemed like everything was happening. Like i said, it was time to just fight. A lot of young girls look up to you and watch you and the way you held yourself after yesterdays race and the fact that youre here with us today speaks a lot about you. What do you hope to communicate to young kids watching you . I hope i can get across that youre going to have obstacles and adversity. Let your spirit shine through. Keep fighting no matter how the cards are stacked against you. Dont let that get you down. How many Olympic Games for you now . This is number four. In our history with you, you have shown class every single time. Thank you. Congratulations. Thank you. Appreciate it. Allyson, thank you. Love you. Lets turn now to [ applause ] you can clap. Well turn now to drama in gymnastics. Simone biles and aly raisman will compete in the floor exercise on the heels of mondays drama. As we said biles took the bronze on the balance beam while Laurie Hernandez nabbed the silver. I was there, i had a chance to talk to the Medal Winners when they left the podium. American simone biles has already made usa gymnastics history. For threetime Gold Medalist simone biles the road to a record five gold medals ended on the balance beam. Shes so fantastic. Shes so consistence. She started off strong. Beautiful. Then uncharacteristically faltered midway touching the beam. Oh, boy. Seeing that mistake, dutch gymnast sanne wevers adjusted her own routine. That is so hard. Doing something less difficult, and winning gold. Crazy good. Laurie hernandez took silver and biles got bronze. Are you okay . How did you feel about im disappointed in how i performed my beam set. Not in the medal that i got, because its fine. But if you think about it, im the only gymnast out here that has done this as many times as i have. So i have to give myself props for that. Hernandez was the Silver Lining for team usa. Great form. Just 16 years old competing in her first ever international meet, hernandez followed wevers with a rock solid routine full of jumps, flips, turns. Wow. Nailing her dismount and walking away with her first individual medal. A silver. This was a tremendous routine. This is your first individual medal at the Olympic Games. When you did your dismount, did you think to yourself, i think i got something here . Yeah. I mean, ive been training so hard. Im glad i just did the routine ive been doing in practice. I have no regrets. Do you feel relieved . Kind of. I thought i was going to throw up. That was the most nervous ive ever been before a meet. Once i got on the beam i was more calm than usual. You were . Yes. Very nice. How happy are you for laurie . I saw you wrap her arms around her and hug her with that megawatt smile. I couldnt be more proud of laurie in how she performed tonight and how she held herself this whole olympic experience. You would think its her second time at the olympics. Im so proud of her. Friends from way back now silver and bronze Medal Winners with biles already looking ahead to her floor routine. One more tomorrow night. Do you feel good about tomorrow . We love you. We love it. Thank you. Look at you right in the heart of it. I was so into that. One of the most fun things i think we get to do on the show is when parents show up. We have tony and wanda hernandez, lauries mom and dad. By the way i told laurie that you guys were going to be here in the morning and she was so excited. She was looking around for you last night or yesterday afternoon. Tell me what you guys talked about after her win. It was just an incredible feat. It still hasnt hit us to be quite honest. Its just one of these things that its so surreal. It just hasnt hit us yet. Just before she competes, you guys hold hands and do a little prayer circle. I could see you before each tell us why thats important. We think faith before everything. We are so grateful and humble for the experience and laurie to go out there and to shine with her usa team and the comradery of the team of usa, the coaches. Were just so grateful for the opportunity for laurie to be here and just to see her big smile. Baby, we love you, girl. We love her too. We love her too. Thanks for coming by this morning. We appreciate it. Thank you so much. Coming up, well hear from the final five aly raisman and youll see both aly and simone compete on the floor exercise tonight during nbcs primetime olympic coverage starting at 8 00, 7 00 central. More to come from rio. Right now we want to go to new york and check in with savannah. Thank you so much. We move to that desperate situation unfolding right now in louisiana. Some of the worst flooding in the u. S. In years triggered by nearly two feet of rain and this morning even more communities are facing a danger of new flooding. Nbcs Gabe Gutierrez is in baton rouge again for us this morning. Hi, gabe. Good morning. Reporter hi, savannah. The death toll has now climbed to at least seven. More than 20,000 people have been rescued. As we take a live look from this drone, you can see many areas are still inundated. The red cross now calling this the worst flooding disaster in the u. S. Since Superstorm Sandy four years ago. This morning more communities are bracing for historic water levels as louisianas record rainfall moves downstream. This is an unprecedented historic flood event. The Army National guard giving us a firsthand look from the sky. There is plenty of water in wide swaths of louisiana but thankfully the water in some places appears to be receding. The rain has eased but other areas south of baton rouge are on high alert preparing for rising rivers. Right now were over one of the hardest hit areas. Some parts got more than 31 inches of rain in just 48 hours. The residents here tell us theyve never seen anything like this. A couple hours we probably had six foot of water. Reporter mark barely escaped with his wife and kids as the water rose in watson. Basically we lost everything. Other than our lives. Reporter a few popup showers are expected today but not enough to add to this flooding. The concern is the water thats already here moving downstream. Thousands of people are packing emergency shelters. Many schools are closed and roads, major roads, are shut down, savannah. Thank you so much. Turning now to the president ial race Hillary Clinton and donald trump trading new attacks on the campaign trail with Vice President joe biden getting in jabs of his own and trump is causing a new stir with a controversial proposal. Nbcs Andrea Mitchell is on the story this morning. Andrea, good morning. Reporter good morning, savannah. Hillary clinton will be campaigning here in philadelphia today where she needs to run up a huge vote to offset Donald Trumps strengths elsewhere in pennsylvania. This critical battleground state. A campaign faltering, donald trump is trying to shift gears. Extreme vetting. Reporter going beyond his proposed ban on muslims entering the u. S. Now unveiling an ideological test for wouldbe immigrants. In addition to screening empathizers of terrorist groups, we must screen out hostile attitudes toward our country. She also lacks the mental and physical stamina to take on isis and all of the many adversaries we face. Reporter clinton enlisting trenton native Vice President joe biden to challenge trumps fitness to be commander in chief. Thoroughly unqualified to be president of the United States of america. Reporter while clinton leads trump in philadelphia and its suburbs, he is gaining among White Working Class voters in places like scranton. Friends should not let friends vote for trump. Reporter what do you say to white, not College Educated men in pennsylvania in scranton . Take a look at the facts. Take a look at what hes talking about. Take a look at what were talking about. Reporter and in our new nbc News Survey Monkey online poll out today, Hillary Clinton continues to hold a ninepoint lead over donald trump nationally but a majority of voters continue to hold unfavorable views of both candidates with Hillary Clinton only slightly less unpopular ban donald trump. Andrea mitchell on the trail for us. Thank you. A programming note, later today well sit down for an exclusive interview with Hillary Clintons running mate tim kaine and his wife, anne holton.

Let us begin though this half hour with the star athlete from team usa being forced to defend herself. Natalie has more on that. Guys, good morning. Gabby douglas won gold as a member of the final five. However, she is also now facing rather Harsh Criticism online from people questioning everything from her sportsmanship to her patriotism. But now gabby and her mom are having their say. She was one of the breakout stars of the 2012 games. As a member of the fierce five, Gabby Douglas won gold along with the hearts of millions. Here in rio, her Graceful Moves helped her team win gold but its something she didnt do on the podium that put her at the center of the social media firestorm. You go from peoples adoration to being the brunt of all the criticism and hatred. And its hard. Her nature is so giving and so kind. The backlash began whether douglas caught up in the moment didnt put her hand on her heart during the National Anthem. Cyber bullies pouncing on twitter. On the one hand, so proud of the final five gold win, on the other hand, so disappointed Gabby Douglas didnt salute the flag. Douglas tweeting, in response to a few tweets i saw tonight, i always stand at attention out of respect for our country whenever the National Anthem is played. I never meant any disrespect and apologize if i offended anyone. The criticism intensifying after douglas was accused of not cheering on her teammates during the individual competition. Earning her the nickname crabby gabby. The tweets flooding in, i mean at least act like youre happy that your teammates won. Crabbygabby. And be a role model and show good sportsmanship. Douglas later telling reporters i apologize if i seemed really mad in the stands. I wasnt. I always will support them and respect them in everything they do. I never want anyone to take it as i was jealous or i wanted attention. Never. I support them and im sorry that i wasnt showing it. The attacks leading to accusations of Cyber Bullying with support rallying behind douglas online including actress and Olympic Super fan who had her own Cyber Bullying scandal. I just heard gabby get ago tacked on her page. Show her the love you showed me. Loveforgabbyusa. She was deaf statd. She tried to push it off and not focus on it. But in the end, she couldnt understand it. The way to respond to the haters is show your support. A lot of people online doing. That loveforgabbyusa trending. True story yesterday. My 3yearold announced her her name is now Gabby Douglas. Love for gabby usa. So love for gabby usa. When you know Gabby Douglas, you know she meant nothing by any of that stuff. I know. Caught up in the moment. Its so tough to be a competitor at the olympics. Yeah. Natalie, thank you very much. Lets get a check of the weather now from mr. Roker. Weve been talking about that heat that continues in the east. And were going to be seeing it out west as well. Also, take a look. We got a risk of Severe Weather today. Isolated tornadoes possible. Western new york and parts of pennsylvania. Were watching this 51 Million People at risk for severe storms later this afternoon and into late tonight. You can see that heat, big High Pressure pumping up. Oppressive temperatures. Feels like conditions up and down the eastern seaboard. It feels like well over 100 degrees. And we got a wildfire danger out west that continues as well. The heat will continue to plague parts of california where their drought continues as well. Thats what as we start out this morning, were seeing some clouds in San Francisco. And expect it to be another day with highs in the mid to upper 60s. That weather continues through the week even into the weekend with no major changes. But it will be very hot fortin land areas, in the valleys reaching into the low 0s. Even mid 90s for the next couple days. This weekend it will be a touch cooler with hypes reaching the upper 80s for saturday and sunday. Add a little bit milder as we go into the start of early next week. Nd get that weather any time you need it. Check out the Weather Channel on cable. Good advice always. Still the dream team. Why the u. S. Mens Basketball Team loaded with all those nba stars isnt blowing out the competition. Plus, a real cliffhanger. How natalie and jenna managed to pull that off.

Were back with todays olympic start. The u. S. Mens Basketball Team has advanced to the quarterfinals. Theyll be in action tomorrow against argentina. You know what . They were actually busy on the beach on their day off on monday trying their hand at volleyball. However, theres a question following this team around. Why arent they dominating on the court . Nbcs keir simmons is here with that. Keir, good morning to you. Good morning. We get it, right. Theyre young. Theyre having fun. If theyre going to get serious, now would be a good time. The nba has some of the biggest names playing but the last three games have been close ones against mundane competition and that has some fans very quietly worried. They won every game. 10097 victory. Undefeated. The United States escapes with a victory. Are they just a little uninspiring . Theyve been playing not as well as they should but he had should win gold. Coach k. Has to get it together. Expectations are high. U. S. Basketball has medaled in every olympic since 1984. This team confident ahead of the games. I enjoy competing and enjoy playing basketball. But barrel surviving threepoint nail biters against serbia and france. If our defense stays this bad as far as team usa goes, they could get upset in the medal round. Off the court theyve been team usas biggest supporters congratulating Michael Phelps, cheering at Beach Volleyball. Singing happy birthday to Kerri Walsh Jennings. And theres so much else to do in rio. Sightseeing. Going to the beach. Even trying their own hand at Beach Volleyball with the locals while casually sipping from coconuts. Going into the quarterback finals this week, the team has scheduled more practices. This is their training center. A week ago jimmy butler did put an Instagram Photo from here. Playing football. Wrong sport. And in a line outside of the nba house youre wearing a clklay thompson jersey. Big fan. We need you to make sure that they are going to bed early. Not drinking too much. I will. Thats a relief because their fans want to support my u. S. Team. Think gold should be a layup. The mens team could take a cue from the u. S. Women. They won their group games by an average of 40 points. Or they could look at how british Basketball Team has been doing. Youre welcome on our team any time you want. Should we bring in mike tirico, host of nbcs daytime coverage of the olympics. Whats going on with the mens Basketball Team . They need to do what the womens team is doing. They had a game where they had 24 field goals in the first half. 22 of them were assisted. The womens team shares the ball. These guys do not. They play hero ball. They need to play better and work together. When you look at the outcome over france, serbia, australia, is this a team that hasnt gelled yet, . The talent is down. Now, they are tremendous players like Carmelo Anthony and kevin durant but they need to play within more of of a team system. Yesterday simone biles had that bobble. Did that take the pin out of the pressure so she can go on the floor tonight and say lets let this one go and have fun . I think youre right. She can walk away with four golds. Because she had potential and could win five because of what shes done on the way to rio, it almost feels like a bit of a letdown but four goals would be Something Special. Lets end on the dive in 400 meters yesterday. Allyson felix edged out by sche Shaunae Miller of the bahamas. You need to be all in to take a dive at the end of the race. We dont see it very often. American fans were disappointed, is that fair . However you get the torso there, thats the difference maker others people would put hands out to break the line. You do that a few times, its not really going to get your body back. Thats going to leave a mark. A real mark. A golden mark for her. Good for her. Bummer for allyson.

Hands down, it was, thats who i was. After one week of chantix, i knew i could quit. Along with support, Chantix Varenicline is proven to help people quit smoking. Chantix definitely helped reduce my urge to smoke. Some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. Some had seizures while taking chantix. If you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history of Mental Health problems, which could get worse or of seizures. Dont take chantix if youve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. If you have these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away as some can be lifethreatening. Tell your doctor if you have heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. Get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. Decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. Use caution when driving or operating machinery.

What do you think that medal ceremony will be like . Someone asked if i ran it through my head. I have but i dont know what im going to think. Dont trip and fall. Dont do anything to embarrass yourself. That type of thing. You hung out in the middle of the pack until you broke out. Was that your plan all along . The plan was to be toward the front. It was so fast. Thats the fastest ever out in the 800. That was relatively close to what he ran the world record in in 2012. So i was farther back. Wanted to hang. I kind of left it all out there. All right. Its been since 2004 since an american took a medal in this event in pole vault. How are you feeling . I feel really great. Its been a lot of fun to come out here and compete and be here on the beach and watch clayton run on the track as i was competing. I get to be out there in the middle of things for so long. It last longer than a marathon. I was out with rain delays and equipment delays for over four hours. I got to see the whole track meet. Your dad was in the green room. Hello, dogs. They dont surf.

She came on the beach and immediately dug this for me. Ill be in there. We want you to take a look at pictures. These are natalie and jenna hanging on a cliff. If you were wondering, that is real. Theres no green screen. Kids, please explain how that happened. We have bruises to prove it. Its a real adventure. Hanging off a cliff real or not real we hiked up a treacherous path called Telegraph Rock and put our lives at risk. All in the name of good tv. Are you ready . This is apparently the beginning of our death defying hike. The stairway to nowhere. I dont like to do adventure things with you. All i know is someone is doing death defying. A photoop at the top. One of us have to hang off a cliff. Typically thats me. Well find out. Lets go. Do we have to run the stairs . Is there a reason you have to run . I think we have to workout, girl. This is our workout of the day. Every time i do something with you its some sort of torture. Be careful. Give us a ride. Why are you not sweating . I am sweating. You have ice in your blood. I do have ice in my veins. I have hot chocolate. Were almost at the top. I feel it. This is the third time you said that. You know what happens at the end . Youre going to be flung off a rock. The. Look at that. Its incredible. This is where we hang. Thats where youll hang off the cliff. Were up where the birds fly. I think were going. Ready . Time for you to climb. Be careful. Its treacherous. Be careful. Legs up. Legs up. Do these look good . Youre fine. If you look down theres rock all around you. What . Were both hanging on for dear life. Both hanging. Did we get it . We got the shot. All that hanging around you might think theres rock under you. We have bruises. I thought those were from surfing. And by the way, my abs the next day have ever been that sore. Did you say you got hurt . Yeah. A man ahead of us broke his leg. For those that are afraid of hikes, it is frightening. My hands were sweaty. We got the best picture. So proud of both of you. Thank you. Glad we could do this for you. Coming up next, another wild adventure. Keir is going to fish for a piranha. This is today on nbc. You can only be great if youre full of goodness. Chobani. Available at safeway. Here in rio were surrounded by spectacular sites but there are other places outside of the city. Keir simmons is here to tell us about had his trip to the amazon. Remember the movie where they fell in and died. The amazon, we went there in search of one of the deadliest predators in the water, the piranha. The amazon river spans the entirety of brazil flowing for more than 4,000 miles, 450 miles further than the mississippi. What youre seeing is not an illusion. This is where two massive rivers come together. One black, one brown. They form the mighty amazon. Among the many animals, 3,000 species of fish. Some notorious. Were on a fishing expedition like no other to catch piranha. He now runs tours of the ancient river. Its like magic for me. Magical place . Magical place. Piranha will eat any meat even rarely humans. To attract these underwater killers, he mimics a distressed animal in the water. They like noise. This is less like fishing and more like hunting. Would it help if i cut my finger and put it in the water . Then he hooks one. Those are some sharp teeth. Come closer and ill bite your face off. Day one over, we caught one fish and a hunter can only eat what he catches. She wanted to eat me. This is my revenge. Right. It tastes like cod kind of. Freshwater fish. Tastes like a freshwater fish. Not very much meat here. Very bony. Its day two and we try another fishing spot. This time i have more luck. Yes. All right i didnt think i would be able to do that. Looks like i wasnt the only one to target this fish. Piranhas prey on each other. Took a chunk of her tail. Hold it here. I think you should do this. I dont want to cause her anymore pain and i dont want to cause myself any pain. Our fishing expedition somewhat successful, there is a final surprise as i wade in he assures me there are no piranhas here but were soon surrounded by the amazons pink dolphin. They are rubbing against our legs. Its its credible. People here believe that these dolphins are princes. Dolphins are mythological animals for the amazon. According to legend after midnight they become the handsome boy to chase the girls and when shes pregnant, shell blame it on the dolphin. They are no threat to us but it turns out the fish they eat include piranhas and in the amazon, every animal depends on another. The power and beauty of this river and its inhabitants both stunning and humbling. Wow. You had the greatest time here. Im just pleased they didnt send me fishing for dolphin and swimming with piranha. That was a great story. Straight ahead, surfs up.

Welcome to today on this tuesday morning, august 16th, 2016. Im billy bush along with al and nat live in rio. Our morning jam is als pick. Summer in the city. I decided to go old school. Where does it take you . Back to queens. Brings me zach to xavier high school. We were ready for the next crusade. Does it take you to oswego . Before that. It was never a hot time in summer. Im proud of you. Billy bush is playing hurt right now because you got a havent you learned if you Say Something on the break, its going to come out on air. You had a violent summer bug and youre on antibiotics and now things arent moving along so youre bloated right now. Lets tell america all about this. I am a soldier, man. Im fighting through this thing. No one knows that im in terrible pain. You are a bit of a hypochondriac. I am. In this case, you are ill. He was violently ill. Youre playing hurt. When you see billy walk away from dinner dont touch. He looks bloated. I look that way every day. Listen, everybody is talking about this awesome moment. Incredible finish in the women 400 meter dash. This has happened to her before. Can you believe it. Shaunae miller dives across the line. The chest is first. Felix is ahead of shaunae. Shes going for the gold. I didnt think that was legal. It is apparently. Surprising more dont do it. Its so painful. You have to be all in to do that. Allyson felix won the 200 in london. She was coming to defend the 200 in the olympic trials july 10th in the 200, a girl who will be competing tripped and fell forward and took out Allyson Felix so she couldnt qualify. That was an accident. This was on purpose. This is a sport that it happens. Theyve been there she leaves with a silver medal. One of the most decorated in track and field. Seven medals i believe. Incredible. I do have mixed emotions because i saw allyson when we first met in 2004 in athens. A picture of us together. My fathers family is from the bahamas. A good moment for the bahamas. Speaking of dramatic endings, a french swimmer was disqualified from the 10 kilometer swim yesterday. Look at this finish here. They are close to the buoy as you can see. The french swimmer in the white cap. She puts her right hand on the womans Left Shoulder and dunks her down and then reaches forward. I think she was confused. I think she thought she was playing water polo. They just swam 10 kilometers. Its 6. 2 miles. Thats crazy. Imagine you just swam that distance and then you get to the finish and then you do that. Why would you do that . Why would you not do that . In my opinion if you just swam 6. 2 miles, i would dunk whoever i had to dunk. You get disqualified. You lose your chance there. You do it under the water. She put her hand up. Thats nice. Or give them a wedgy. Lost the silver medal because of that. Why would you risk that . Maybe she wouldnt have won. I think that she was just a little bit ahead of her. Went for broke and did what she had to do and got busted. I think when we get back to the states, we should have these every day. Hoda and kathie everyone has developed a taste for them. One per, two per morning. Three is the max. Thats it. Four would be unheard of. Unless it happens. Lets talk gymnastics. Yesterday we saw the americans competing. With he saw simone biles unfortunately she wobbled a little bit. So haeartbreaking on the beam. She bobbled a bit. That cost her the gold. She ended up with bronze. Gymnast Laurie Hernandez, the 16 year old, shining bright. She takes home the silver medal. Thats a great olympics. 16 years old. Goes home to high school with a gold and silver medal. Thats got to be amazing. What did you do for the summer . I went to the olympics and won gold and silver. And then dutch gymnast sanne wevers won the gold. You want athletes who have never been on that podium. Its an amazing moment. Simone has three gold medals. Today a final shot in gold in floor exercises. Aly raisman has a shot. They are competitors through and through but teammates so you know theres a lot of love and support on the floor. Did anyone tighten up when simones routine was so aggressive out of the gate and shes so on right now and a terrible feeling something was coming. I did an interview with simone. She said the one event she dreads the most is the beam. And they all do. The beam is i dont understand how you do that. The things theyre able to do. Backflips and spins and turns. For guys to do that, that takes a lot of commitment. Im just going to say. A lot of risk. Just going to say. And this story i think we have to get you together with this next guy. I dont think so. Sunbathers on the beach. One guy competes for his own medal. Sport dancing the samba while keeping a soccer ball on his head. Unique route even caught on camera. It gets worse. Nobody around him is paying any attention to him. Im impressed with the skills. Look at that. Whoa. Its rhythmic dancing. Its like samba, soccer and burlesque at the same. These were his best moves. He gets more suggestive than this. We have a special guest with us, dont we . Were excited about this. Very excited. Last week ethiopian swimmer finished last in the mens 100 meter freestyle heat. The internet goes above with negative comments. What a shock. Saying his body isnt typical of an olympic swimmer. Online Community Rallies around him and hes become a viral sensation.

[heartbeat] the most decorated olympian of all time. 28 medals including 23 golds but Michael Phelps says hes officially hanging up his speedo and dipping his toes into retirement. He said that last time. I sat down with the legend in what he told me is his last olympic interview. We asked him about his previous quote retirement after the london olympics in 2012. I hated it. I wanted nothing to do with the sport then. Thats why i came back. I didnt want to end my career like that. I had to find the passion myself and i found that again and i had fun. This is how i wanted to finish. Michael phelps has done it again. He not only rekindled his passion for swimming but his passion with fiance nicole johnson. Weve gone back and forth. This is our third time together. I always said if i had the chance to get her back that she was the one i was going to spend the rest of my life with. I had that opportunity. She said small wedding and big party. Small wedding, big reception and were finally getting married and continuing on our family. Its pretty awesome. Will boomer be your best man . I dont know if hell be able to take a couple steps. How is boomer going to make you a good dad . I know feelings i went through as a child. I dont want him to go through that. His own relationship with his father has been rocky though they recently reconnected. Did you have to take the first step or did he . I asked if he wanted to talk. We finally were able to meet and settle the things that we wanted to talk about and get off of our chest. Thats challenging. Looking at somebody you love deeply and tell them whats been bothering you for all those years and accepting each others apologies and move forward. I interviewed ryan lochte. Terrible thing that happened. I thought about this. I said michael might have been with him years ago just because the boys are going out after swimming. What were you doing . I was passed out with my fiance and my child. Diaper change . I did change a diaper. Nicole says he has a tremendous appetite. Between the two, who eats more . He eats more than i do for sure. For our two sizes, he has higher caloric intake. And the infamous game face. Hes growling like a dog. The look you gave le clos. I had music going on in my head. I was in my own zone. I was not intentionally giving him a dirty look. Were you texting or playing candy crush . Texting sometimes. Playing pineapple. Its a card game. And i was changing music. Perhaps one final note for one incredible career. 23 golds. 28 total. How im going to wrap my head around 28 total, i dont know. Nicole and i had a moment where we were talking about it the other night. Its insane. Its almost just not real. So you have to pinch yourself every now and then and its a dream come true. I love phelps. A great guy. What great journey. Such a different guy than when we started. He had to. He brought his buddies down. All his buddies from baltimore came down and they were speaking out of school about him saying hes the worst golfer and the worst dancer in the world. I thought he might be a good dancer with those big long arms like gronkowski does that whip arm thing before swimming. Maybe he incorporates that. Imagine getting hit by one of those on a dance floor. Helicopter arms. He stays in his lane. Takes the sprinkler to a new level.

Theres something very special about the village of laguna, brazil. Every morning fishermen cast their line into the ocean and catch a days pay with help from a source. Dolphins come to the Southern Coast of brazil to work with fishermen creating a bond thats lasted for over a century and a half. Each morning in the sleepy town of lagoounalaguna, brazil, the cast their net into the ocean and with the help of unlikely friends, hope for the best. Murky waters make it near impossible to see into the Southern Coast so the fishermen follow the dolphins who day after day return to guide them. Translator every dolphin has a name based on their personality. This 30yearold man said he learned to work with dolphin from his grandfather, a tradition passed down over the last four generations in his family. We show respect and love for each other. We take care of each other. A retiree of the brazilian coast guard, wilson agrees theres Something Special about these dolphins. Translator im sure they know who is fishing right here because when we are inside the water, they come to us and play with us. When there is no one, they keep calm and quiet. A powerful reminder of the connection between nature and man. So scientists researched this unusual relationship between the dolphins and the fishermen and obviously the conclusion is that the dolphins swim to the area to get food but many said they also believe that theres a higher power involved. Pretty spectacular. Great. They bring them over and he couldnt help it. He has a good dolphin thats marvelous. You called some right over there. Somewhere you want to be.
