bay area athletes made us plenty proud in the london olympics adding to gold medal count, women's water polo team. jessica steffans joins us with nutritionist arianna. we want to say thank you for letting us touch and handle your medal in the newsroom, like kids. what's it like? it's not the first olympic medal that you've won. what was it like to win gold? >> this medal is so special. we've been working for this not just the last four years but there's girls on the team that it's their fourth olympics. we wanted to really bring home the gold for them. >> in our household i have a 4-year-old and a 6-year-old and we talk a lot about sister power. you really have sister power. sister maggie on the team as well. >> yeah. that was i mean that was amazing. i'm sure any sibling can say you

fight, but you also love each other so much and there's just -- that was amazing to be able to play together in the olympic stage. >> we saw a video of, i think the men's water polo -- actually the women's and men's. what happens under the water you're moving constantly. constantly treading water and moving around and maneuvering. so i mean there has to be something to not just training but to how you fuel your body as well to keep that up. >> yeah. we are moving all the time. we hate to run but i'll tell you that being on land is easier than being in the water. so we are, you know, always snacking, always eating, trying to stay fueled for practice. >> right. you know right after the gymn t dabby douglas -- gabby douglas splurged and had a mcfufen.

it's a testament to how serious nutrition is for these athletes. you're a nutritionist, why we wanted to talk to you. >> serious, a good nutrition program will support your training, will help you recover after exercise, will maintain peak performance, competition, and makes you avoid injuries and stay healthy. >> there are so many package goods for weekend warriors, like rob, all of the bars and the stuff you put in your water. is that all necessary, or can you go a more natural route? >> no, it's -- you can go a more natural route. you -- it's very important to choose nutritious foods, foods that not only provide energy but also provide protein, vitamins and minerals, anti-oxidants. protein is particularly important for high performance

exercise because it -- it damages your mussel and protein is important, not only to build muscle but also to recover muscle damage. >> okay. now, jessica, you're in danville, you're getting the key to the town. have you ever got than before? >> no, definitely not. i'm wondering when it opens. >> i think it opens whatever you want. the pride of danville. what's it like to see the community come to see you? i mean we like to see you, of course but you see the little kids that come that went to your same elementary school and things like that. >> the community support has been absolutely amazing. people are really excited that there's two of us from danville and we played with so many people when we were younger and just families are you know, say, swim team, now the olympians. it's been great. and i'm really excited for tonight. i think the town's very excited also.
