stay in the hotel from monday through friday. and i'm home schooled. >> reporter: top level gymnasts can expect to pay $15,000 to $18,000 a year for more than to ur years chasing olympic dreams. but gymnasts aren't the only ones facing a financial heavy burden. sarah robles lived on $400 a month and relied on food banks and food stamps while she trained. track and field athletes are in the spotlight now in london, but only half of those ranked top ten in the u.s. in their event earn more than $15,000 a year in income from the sport. that's according to ac conducted by the usa track and field foundation. there is a financial dream to parents raising a summer olympian. just months before gymnast gabby douglas won a gold medal in the olympic all around, her mother filed for bankruptcy in virginia.

11-year-old cana's family deals out a lot of money. >> it tends to get expensive. so what we do is we have cut back in other places. we haven't gone on a family vacation for years as well as we don't go out to eat as much anymore. >> reporter: yes, the cost is high, but she says watching her daughter's face after winning in competition is priceless. of course an athlete who wins gold in a high profile sport can stand to earn a lucrative endorsement contract. but for those athletes who win in perhaps a more obscure sport that is not as popular, many of them return home with an olympic medal, but also with a pile of bills. reporting live in santa clara, mari ann favro. bay area gals bringing home three gold medals, dana vollmer. >> no one could catch her in the

pool. roth mathai did catch up with her on dry land. he anchors our coverage from london. he joins us. >> here is what we know. she's very tall, she's very golden, and she's a bay area product. we're talking about swimmer dana vollmer who made a huge splash here in london. throughout the last week and a half we spent a lot of time with vollmer, the best scenes vice president been her necessarily winning the gold, but after she wins the gold in the parking lot with her family, her parents and her husband, her husband, by the way, a former stanford swimmer who grew up in livermore. dana vollmer and her husband andy grant joined us earlier this morning. >> first of all, congratulations. everyone in the bay area is so thrilled about you right now. >> thank you so much. this whole experience has just been absolutely incredible and just getting to kind of tour around now, see a little bit of london and celebrate what we were able to accomplish last week. >> are you surprised about the success here, three gold medals, world records, this is amazing. >> when i kind of think about

the team that we had and my own expectations of my performances it was what i wanted to do. but then when you're there, and you're competing and then you have a gold medal placed around your neck and even just to get one is such a crazy experience. and to think about now i have three, i don't think it sunk in yet. >> you have one -- you have all three of them here. >> yeah. i figured why not. >> i need to focus here. you have three medals here. can you hold them up. tell us what the plan is, you go back to the east bay and where do you put it? them, i should say? >> i don't even know yet. i was able to get a flag that was thrown to me after the medley relay from my family and three other girls on the last relay wrote me a note on it. i want to put the medley relay medal framed with that flag. i don't know what we're going to do with them. i just don't even want to take them off. >> with us is andy grant, your husband. welcome. you're a bay area guy too. you have a stanford guy, marrying a cal gal. how does that work? >> well, it worked fine.

i graduated from school first before we started dating, so put little bit of the stanford behind me when i moved up to live with her north of berkeley. >> i know how incredible it was. we have cameras with you after you won your first gold. your family was there, your parents were there. tell me about the moment when all the tv cameras were off, except for ours and there you are hugging your family. >> to make an olympic team and get to see my family at trials and then you kind of get swept away for three weeks and being at training camp and knowing that i hadn't gotten to see them yet when -- through the prelim and the semis and just to go up and see their faces and to hug my mom, and i don't tend to get that emotional. rebecca soni was asking me how are you not crying? i'm so happy and excited, but seeing my mom is just -- it flushes back everything we fought for and how much -- how many sacrifices my family made and my husband to really pursue my dream and get to this level.

it is incredible to embrace your family after something like that. >> congratulations. andy congratulations being the supportive husband there. >> thank you, yeah. i'm just honored to be here and support her and so proud of what she's accomplished. >> all right, guys. better get back to the bay area. a lot of people rooting for you. is this not a very good looking and tall couple? i got to get on my tippy toes here. back to you guys. >> we were just saying the exact same thing. we were saying, wow, they make a great couple. thank you, raj. now the results from some of the events you'll see tonight in primetime. events haven't aired yet. this is fair warning for you. this is your spoiler alert. if you don't want to see it, turn away, go get a snack, only have 15 seconds. come back quickly. we'll show you the results and when you hear us start talking again, that's when it is safe to watch. here it goes.

okay, here is a look at what is coming up tonight in primetime. back to gymnastics for individual event finals. so track and field finals in the men's 400 meter and 400 meter hurdles. then we hit the sand for the quarterfinals of beach volleyball. coverage begins at 8:00 p.m. and will be immediately followed by the late edition of nbc bay area news. we have new details tonight in that mass shooting that left seven dead at the sikh temple in wisconsin. the shooter who is among those killed has been identified as wade michael page, a 40-year-old man with a military past. andy rosejen has the latest. >> we have one officer shot. >> reporter: chaotic radio calls coming from police outside the sikh temple when one of their own was shot. after a gunman opened fire on innocent templegoers inside. 24 hours after the shooting,

police have finally identified the shooter. >> his name is wade michael page. he is the only shooter that was involved. >> reporter: police aren't saying much more. the southern poverty law center is. the center says the alleged shooter is a former leader of a racist skinhead hard rock band. >> who he is, what he has done in the past and the possibility of his being in other records of other law enforcement around the country are things we are still pursuing as of this time. >> reporter: the family of the sikh temple's president killed in the attack is grieving. >> it is hard to put into words all that has happened in the past something like 14, 16 hours. but we're at a breaking point in some ways. >> reporter: they say he tried to fight off the shooter with a knife. >> he said he's at my feet. he's laying on the ground, bleeding from his back. >> reporter: a number of people of all faiths have been gathering in milwaukee, praying for the victims and hoping for

an answer, one they know might never come. andy rosejen, oak creek, wisconsin. an amber alert is in effect for a baby kidnapped near tracy and san joaquin counties. the suspect and his 1-year-old daughter could be headed to the bay area. the baby's name is jacqueline martinez and she was last seen wearing yellow and green polka dot pajamas. her father is this man, 30-year-old jonathan martinez. he's believed to be wearing a white =@<-shirt, jeans and an baseball cap. the chp is asking drivers to keep an eye out for his 1999 silver gmc yukon, california license plate number on your screen. 5gmw656. we're going to continue to follow this story and bring you updates as we get them. making an olympic team is the achievement of a lifetime. coming up, though, we'll introduce you to a pair of four-time olympians with bay area ties. it is being called the costliest crime in america. but you probably never heard of

it. the investigative unit goes undercover to expose the theft that is costing us billions every year. the fight over gender identity. a controversial test for olympic athletes that some are already calling a witch-hunt. good afternoon. i'm jeff ranieri. decent warmup to the interior valleys today. 90 in livermore and 94 in gilroy. san jose with a cooler 77 and hotter temperatures coming our way, that pollen is also starting to spike. we'll let you know when we could hit 100 degrees coming up in a few minutes.

jumping over hurdles even before the olympics, that's been the fate of south african runner amena. she dashed into the spotlight three years ago when competitors questioned her gender. it is how her case has been handled that prompted the international olympic committee to come up with the new policy. a policy some are calling a gender witch-hunt.

>> in the 2009 track and field world championships, semena smashed the world record in the 800 meters. running two seconds faster than her closest competitor. after the race, other athletes complained, saying she appeared more like he. she was forced to undergo gender tests, a process that kept her from competition for nearly a year. >> it was a horrible bungling of her case. >> reporter: now for the 2012 london olympics, the international olympic committee handed down its plan to deal with suspicions of what it is calling female hyperandrogenism. the new rules outlined in a five page document will involve a test to see if a woman's natural testosterone level falls within the normal range of a man. if it does, that athlete will not be allowed to compete with other females. this decision doesn't sit well

with stanford bioethicist katrina carcavich. >> just because someone has highhigh er testosterone levels doesn't mean they'll be a more successful athlete. it is more complicated. >> they're not intending to make a determination of sex, only hormone levels. whatever the policy calls for three times the doctors to weigh in, a gynecologist, a genetic expert and endocrinologist. >> that starts to look a lot like sex testing to me when you're evaluating all these other traits and physical aspects of a person. >> another olympic 800 meter runner also sees problems with the testing. >> i think just doing testing on testosterone is -- it could be quite difficult because everyone's testosterone levels are different and, you know, women that are competing at a

high level, we tend to have a higher testosterone level anyway. >> as for semena, she wants to put the 2009 world championships behind her and to concentrate on running her best in london. >> she will be competing on wednesday. switching gears now, the fbi calls it the costliest crime in america. and you would likely never have heard of it. the biggest single case happened here in the bay area. and it never made headlines. organized crime drives it. money fuels it. and investigative reporter steven stock uncovered it. he joins with us more. and steven, you went behind the scenes to witness the crusade against cargo theft. >> exactly right. the fbi estimates the equivalent of $100 for every person in america is stolen off our nation's streets every year. that costs every one of us in higher crime rates, higher security costs, and higher prices for just about everything you buy at the store.

you are watching surveillance video of just how easy it is to make $150,000 in less than 90 seconds. watch again as a thief intercepts another cargo load. it happens nearly three times a day, somewhere in america. and in california, it happens twice as many times as the next busiest state of texas and florida. it is cargo theft, the little known big time crime that the fbi and california's highway patrol both estimate cost as much as $35 billion a year in stolen ods. >> it really is huge. >> xavier spencer works for the california highway patrol's cargo theft interdiction team. >> these guys are going -- their trucks, the truck stop, going inside and clean up or get something to eat and they come out and the trailer and the tractor is gone. >> reporter: spencer is one of four highway patrol officers assigned full time to combat cargo theft in northern california. they work out of this small office, in oakland.

and cover the entire area north of los angeles county, up to the oregon border. we went along with the cargo theft interdiction team. going behind the scenes to track down stolen shipping containers in patterson and the san joaquin valley, driving along on stings to intercept lifted cargo in gilroy, watching recovery operations, taking back stolen property at the port of oakland. >> it is american pirates, that's what you got. >> reporter: this woman knows all about how much cargo theft can cost. >> it was picked off by a trucker. he came in and broke the pin locks and took off. >> reporter: her company pccs incorporated, an import/export warehouse in oakland, was victimized in 2008. >> we almost went out of business the year after that because it was a hit that was a mark on your name. >> reporter: it is a mark that she says cost her clients who

count on her to keep the cargo secure. last year the national insurance crime bureau logged more than 1200 cargo theft incidents nationwide, costing more than $390 million. and according to california's highway patrol, california had more than 300 of those incidents. cargo theft team says the operations are often run by organized crime and they often have international connections. >> my understanding is this load is worth about $150,000. >> reporter: at port of oakland, we went along as the team seized a stolen cargo load of resin that was on its way to hong kong. >> had been sold to a company in china. >> reporter: a stolen load turned around in the middle of the pacific after the team solved the case and caught up with it. >> this was literally going international. >> yes. >> reporter: right now, cargo theft is a low risk, high reward proposition for criminals because it carries minor criminal penalties. that's if the cops can even prove that you did it. steal a half million dollars worth of cargo, you might get

six months in jail. compare that to ten years in prison if you get caught with a half million dollars worth of cocaine. >> very often difficult to prove everything you recovered was stolen, so sometimes the d.a.s are not willing to take a case that is going to take a little bit of work. >> reporter: partly for that reason, these guys say this crime has been underreported for years. >> gets larger every year. and the losses, you know, they accumulate every year. that costs each one of us in the long run. in the form of higher prices, passed on to consumers as companies lose more and more of these cargo loads. >> every consumer that goes into the store, buys something, chances are they're paying for the cost of the type of theft. >> now, as for the largest single cargo theft in history, it happened right here in fremont last year. $37 million worth of microchips

stolen in one haul, gone in less than 90 seconds. the experts expect the number of cargo thefts to continue to rise unless congress changes the laws to increase prison time if the thieves get caught. we have much more on cargo theft online, including some of that undercover video. you can see it all, nbcbayarea.com. just go to cargo theft. janelle, jessica? >> thanks, steven. coming up after the olympics, the investigative unit examines crime on school campuses including an attempted murder that you never heard about. hundreds of pile records requested were filed. what she found is the system meant to determine which schools are dangerous and is letting some serious crimes slip through the cracks. a lawmaker is calling for major changes. see the investigation tonight right here after the olympics. if you have a story for the investigative unit, call our tip line at 888-996-tips. or you can send us an e-mail to

>> curiosity's mission is expected to last about two years. the goal is to look for concrete proof that life can or does exist on mars. much of the equipment used in the first of its kind rover landing was tested here in the bay area. nasa was a critical part of the rover's landing equipment and its delicate instruments. stephanie truong looks at the bay area connections. >> we're safe on mars. >> reporter: those words from mission control did not come easy. it took years of planning and research to successfully land curiosity, a good chunk of that brilliance stemming from other own backyard. >> i'm a space geek for sure. >> reporter: nasa aims research scientist michael sims points to a $40 million device created here that fits inside curiosity. the canon will beam x-rays through samples of martian rocks and soil determining the
