You have a gold medal around your neck along with a silver, how does that feel for you, alison . Taking in the whole process. The journey has its ups and downs. And to have a gold around my neck again, an amazing feeling with three other girls. How much pressure were you feeling on the deck knowing its your job in the relay to get that team off to a very strong start. Knowing that you have Katie Ledecky theres not much pressure. Is it nerveracking at all to laps to watch the other girls and wringing your hands making sure it works out. I had complete faith in the other three girls. Like i said, having katie anchor our relay, i wouldnt have any other swimmer anchor our relay. Josh, first time olympian. You sit there with the silver medal around your neck. Is the way you played it out in your mind for the last ten years . Yeah. Its absolutely a dream come true. It country that well. Kazakhstan got the gold. It was a touch. Did you realize how close you were at that moment . That dude was super far away from me. I could only see two surrounding me so i had no idea. Hes a good kid. Im happy for him. As we were talking about families a second ago before we went on the air and just briefly talk about what this has been like for your families to go through this.

Now more on team usas dominance in the pool and the big races to look forward to today. Mike tirico is daytime host of nbcs olympic coverage. Good morning to you. Lets talk about the duel in the pool. What are you expecting . I live in ann arbor. How can you beat one more time phelps and lochte in the pool in this race. These two guys have either one gold or World Championship for a decade in this event. One more time a showdown. They swim side by side. How do you think that affects the race . They have a great sense of where the other guy is at this point after competing in the same event for so long. You just look at lochte and you look at his career great. The problem is hes swimming in the era of the greatest and how will history remember him . In an event phelps won three times in a row in the olympics, if lochte can get this, that will add to the specter of his greatness. Lets talk about Katie Ledecky. Magnificent. I used that one. Give me the list, matt. Pool last night in the relay you were talking about. You had the sense it was going to be no chance for anybody else from australia or canada to hold her off or catch her when she took the lead. Now the were look at another great gold haul for her. You think thats just a layup. Weve learned in sports there are no guarantees. That one feels really good. Let me do this. Ill ask you and then ill lean back here and ask these two to could Katie Ledecky, she holds the world record and alison will tell me thats 8 06 68, right . Exactly. Could Katie Ledecky be the first person to swim the 800 meters under 8 minutes at some point . I think given everything thats happened, that would be a lot, given the toll of the week. I dont mean tonight but in here career. Oh, in her career. The way this career is going, why not. But ill defer to the person who if somebody is going to do it, it will be Katie Ledecky. What else are you looking forward, mr. Tirico . You mentioned the golf starting. Its been over a century. But the gymnastics with the Great Success of the women. Can you win the allaround and biles is just so good. But aly raisman, keep an eye on her. Rivalry. Biles versus raisman. U. S. Versus u. S. Its a rivalry but they cant wait to travel as a team around america and inspire more dreams. America cant wait either. Mike tirico. Thank you very much. Folks, congratulations again. Were going to have more on what you can expect in that gymnastics competition coming up. Tim daggett and Nastia Liukin will join us. You can catch the showdown between Michael Phelps and ryan lochte.

This windows pc is a life saver being able to pull up different articles to different parts of the screen is so convenient. Poor foster kid black immigrant cancer patient small muslim the only label that matters is olympian. Hi hey ive made plans for later in case this date doesnt go well. Likewise but, funny story. On top of that . My mom is my best friend. Uh oh. Yeah. Oop theres the rescue text from my roommate saying she needs me. Wouldnt it be great if everyone said what they meant . The citi double cash card. I dont know where im goin but i sure know where ive been and ive made up my mind, i aint wasting no more time . . . Here i go again on my own . Please welcome to the tees the players of group ten. Welcome back to rio where the first time in 112 years golf once again an olympic sport and im loving it. Youre looking live at the action on the course. Were waiting for bubba watson to tee off. Lets bring in nbcs sports golf analyst david. Good to see you. Lets talk about the team. And kuchar. What are our chances . We have great chance. There was pat reed who loves to play with flag on his back. He has nasty in him, which is what you need to win a huge event like this. We havent seen golf in the olympics for 112 years. What does it mean for the sport itself . Its been around since the 15th century. It means a tremendous amount because there are so many developing countries and had golf as a program that havent had any government funding. When it becomes an olympic sport, that money comes from governments. Take a look at the monitor, david. Nobody calls a swing better. Heres bubba on the first tee. Left that one a little to the left. Not too bad. Here. These guys are all competing for an individual medal. Some people have said why not make put a team element in this so you can make it feel more like a ryder cup. How do you feel about that . I think for the first time back the 72hole stroke play, it might be the way to go. Theyll look at it again after these olympics and maybe go to Something Different for the first time its the way to determine a champion and best not to come because of zika concerns. Do you think theyre missing out . Absolutely. Its such a festival atmosphere and an amazing event to take part in. My hat is off to the ladies. Nine of the top ten in the world, top four in the world are here. They decided they were going to be all in. You know, there are americans flag on their uniform that are getting shot at so i think for an athlete to be able to wear it is a tremendous honor and if anyone gets a chance to do it, should. Fun to watch. Golf back after 112 years. David covered the last time it was in the games. Really good to see you, david. You can catch golfing right now on our Sister Network, the golf channel. Da sponsored by cocacola. Open a coke, enjoy the games. All right. We move on. This morning on todays rio, gymnastics once again in the spotlight. Thats right. Last night was disappointing for the u. S. Mens team missing out on medals in the individual allaround finals. Tonight the women get their turn led by american simone biles and aly raisman. Here to talk about all of it, gold Medal Winners. A bummer for guys last night. What happened, tim . Just disappointing. What it came down to was sam had a shot but hes got to be great and he hasnt been great. Hasnt been able to put together six rouroutines. He started sluggish and went to vaulting and put his knees down. When you do that its a full point off. I didnt get to see it live. A lot of person this morning were talking about max from hes been great since london four years ago but the first time that Great Britain has been on the podium in over 100 years. A huge moment for him. Can we move to women . A lot of people will have eyes trained on what were going to see. We have seen them do allarounds before. Will we see Something Different tonight . Not anything different. Theyll do the exact same thing theyve been doing here in rio and for the last few years. Exact same thing. Easier said than done. Theyll definitely get the gold and silver if all goes according. How would you like to be a gymnastics headline writer this morning trying to figure out what youre going to write about simone biles that you havent already written. They could write a whole front page of adjectives. She has every quality you need to be a tremendous gymnast. Shes physically amazing. Shes coordinated. She has great air sense. Shes everything. They call themselves the final five because its martas last time coaching them. What do you think shes meant to the sport . Shes created this legacy. I had the honor to compete under her as well. Nothing but amazing memories. Specifically martha being her last one. It hasnt been announced yet. I dont know anything. Ill take that as a maybe. Thank you. You can see the action tonight on nbc. I think we have mr. Roker with a check of the weather. Hey, al. You bet. Thanks so much. The cat that swallowed the canary. Very nice. Lets show you whats going on with your weather. Were looking in rio. Its been rainy but things improve today as we head to maracana stadium. Mens volleyball. Usa versus brazil. A big one tonight. Clear skies. 66 degrees. Lets look at your weekend outlook. Were looking at wet weather through the gulf coast. Heavy showers and thunderstorms moving through the plains today. Its going to be toasty in the midsection of the country. You can see plenty of sunshine making its way through the Midatlantic States. Spectacular today with plenty of sunshine and the plains look good as well. Thats whats going on around if youre on the go, dont forget to check us out on sirius xm channel 108. Mr. Roker, thank you very much. You know what its time for in rio . Whats trending. Yeah. Almost as if i told them to say that. Lets start with this. The french cyclist turning heads on the streets of the city. Check this girl out. This is pauline ferrandprevot. Shes 24. Last year she was the first person in the history of cycling to hold three big titles at the same time. But have a good look at her, billy. Do you notice any royal resemblance . More pippa to me. I know what youre thinking. Look at that. That angle though. Its in the dimple. Drawing comparisons to duchess kate. Pauline is blonde while kate is dark. The two women seem to share the same features especially those dimples. Definitely. The smile. Would you guys like a little Throwback Thursday . Sure. Why dont we do that . All right. Were looking athletes before they were olympians. Look at swimmer Nathan Adrian as a baby. Yesterday. So cute. He added to his collection of medals winning bronze in 100 free. Biles as a little baby. Here is before she became a member of the final five. David boudia back in the day made moves on dry land on his tricycle. And heres aly raisman. She is looking adorable, isnt she, in her shades. I love those. Very cute. Speaking of aly raisman, not only a great gymnast. Apparently she is pretty good at foreseeing the future. 13 years ago ali was at summer camp with a girl named emily coa. Emily shared this image from the camps photo book. Saying aly was pretty on point with her prediction about the future. Aly said in 20 years she would be an olympic gymnast. No. Too humble to mention the gold medals, but said i will be an olympic gymnast. Wow. Mr. Roker, what did you write in your book . What was your prediction . I hope to have extra servings of ice cream. That worked out. Thats funny. Is it time for billy bushs pop start who is having more fun at the games . Matthew mcconaughey or hoda. Last night matthew and camila were at the pool. Basketball. Now we got to contend with these guys on the court, not just the pool . They got into it. Matthew wearing the popular team usa jacket. The americans managed to get the win. By the way, us in the next half hour. Look forward to that. Also next to taylor swift. Shes taking a break from her feud with kim and kanye to support team usa and send love to the womens gymnastics team. Taylor tweets this. Sending my biggest congratulations to simone, aly, laurie, gabby and madison. You did it, girls. Finalfive. And Reese Witherspoon on vacation in croatia. She still found a way to channel team usa herself. She captioned the video, im no Katie Ledecky. I tried. And as far as i can see it looks like video was shot in 1927. Looked amazing then and amazing now. Its the filter she used. Thats your pop start. For more pop culture news, check out todays facebook page. That was her grandmothers video. Looked terrific. Didnt she . My son is great at those filters. I have no idea. None whatsoever. Old timey its called, i think. Just ahead, weve got a speciaea yeah, love that.

Mainly we dont get any younger. Im all about pushing the envelope and setting high goals and showing the world, it doesnt matter how old, how young, doesnt matter who you are, if you believe in yourself, you can make things happen. Good for you. I heard something and i want you to expand on this. Toward the end of the race your coach was trying to drive you harder and said you have to decide what color medal you want. Wow. So in time trial up against off every minute and a half and there was about five kilometers to go. About nine kill lomsteres to ters to go, i was five down. He got on the radio. He said, all right. Heres the deal. Its up to you what color medal you want to bring home. At that point i think i went from 48 kilometers an hour to 53 kilometers an hour and put almost ten seconds on the people that i was close to before and comment and it really drove me.

And an expression you must hear a lot, all right, all right, all right. Many different ways of saying that. If youre from rio. Because they got a little more of a street thing.

Welcome to today on this thursday morning, august 11th, 2016. Al, you have our morning jam this morning. We are one. World cup song, right . 2014. We just kind of get into the mood a little bit. Our audience cant hear it. They feel it. Natalie, without natalie, we wouldnt eat down here. We would starve to death. We spread berries all over your face. Today well go easy. This is one of my childhood favorites as a kid. If you want to take Something Back fro these. They are called serenade of love. If you take a bite, its like having a serenade of love. Get in there, al. A little crunch. A little thing in the middle. Some kind of nugget or something. Its like a wafer. A small brazilian girl running around for job well done. You get one of these. Love yesterday. It was a reuniting of sorts and theres love between me and twotime olympic figure skater known for his over the top dramatic fashion. A couple years ago you may remember at the Winter Olympics in sochi, we went fishing amongst the 95yearold russian dudes that sit out there and fish for hours at a we want to know what did he wear to fish with you this time . You fished right off the rocks here, right off of our set. Its about a 35foot drop. Theres johnnys outfit. Gale force winds. Torrential rains coming down. Did it stop johnny and i . Absolutely not. Looked like a scarlet big bird. Okay, billy. Lets go fishing. The pumps. Hes got a record to uphold here. He actually caught a fish in sochi. Did he catch one here . That remains to be seen. Well find out tonight on access hollywood. This show is becoming one big tease for access hollywood. Impressive. By the way, to tease our show tomorrow, johnny will be here. He will be here. He who doesnt love him . Right now hes probably changing out of that scarlet big bird outfit. Hes coming in an oscar the grouch outfit tomorrow. If he jumps into the pool, it will be a green one. Olympic teammates phelps and lochte went head to head in the semifinal yesterday. Phelps came in first. Lochte came in second. Finals is tonight. Everybodys high. We were talking about that. We were saying he dyed it that silvery blue color and youre in that chlorinated water and air turns green. He looks like the joker now. He looks like a young but still old paul newman. New the hair because of the chlorine has turned green. Its like a minty color. Its to match the everyone is turning green. Amazing their bodies havent turned green. Thats a big story here is the green water in the pools and what theyre trying to do to overcompensate for the algae problem that they have. They say its safe. I got to tell you its overnight it turned green. That doesnt look so good. It would be great if everyone died their hair a different color every day. It looks soupy. Which is not great word. Water polo guys say by Fourth Quarter in their match they couldnt see. They couldnt open their eyes. Again, that doesnt seem like its great pool conditions. Side by side there you see it. They tested it and say its safe. Officials came forward and said, all right, theres something wrong with the water. Thats why theyre officials. Wow. Two olympians. Silver medalists. Sam dorman and mike hixon. When i talked to you guys earlier, you said you were probably the only guys who didnt mind jumping in. It didnt bother you. I think we have jenna bushs microphone on while were doing this before jenna says something. Says something she might regret. Youre in the water for a second. You probably jumped into worse or you havent . I dont think we have. We had no issues. Something we didnt focus on. We focus on one dive at a time. Water wasnt really an bright under those lights that it helped visual cues a little bit. The water was brighter than normal, which was nice. Florescent almost. I saw you guys before the show. You were each with your parents and it was the first time you guys hadnt seen them before the competition. This was the first time this morning you got to see them. I tried to go in the stands yesterday and they told me no. Last night we were doing interviews all night long. First time seeing them this seeing the look on their face special. Are you going to get to spend time with them . Are you still competing . We get to hang out with them. Im done competing. Were going to head to the u. S. House in a bit and hang out there. Im free. Hit the nightclub while youre at it. Why not. Have fun. Youre looking great. When you stand on that podium, what did that feel like for you guys . I was and grateful to watch our flag raise and to know that we represent that. That was huge. To share that moment with my coach and my family was amazing. There are so many people that go into that. So many people that contributed to our success so grateful for all that. Congratulations. You make us so proud. Sam, a little zac efronish. I was thinking that exactly. Yeah. Absolutely. This is the celebrity Olympic Games. You and tirico. Thats the best i can do. The best tirico can do. Best i can do. The cyclist that looks like kate middleton. All right. Speaking of olympic champions, also sod many olympic cyclist, Kristen Armstrong was here a little while ago with us. She won gold in the womens individual time trial making history. Shes the oldest female cyclist but makes history because its her third consecutive gold. Shes turned 43 today. You saw at the finish she apparently didnt know she had won and asked the official. Did i win . And the minute she heard she won she sort of collapsed off her nose bleed during the race. They came to her. They were trying to treat her. She is just relieved and exhausted at that point. She has a 5yearold son, lucas, who is just adorable.
