what i like most about this silver medal is you guys had your best score on your last dive so when it was all on the line, you came up with your best dive. >> typically that's a dive that doesn't go well in training. i'm so tall it's hard for me to make. the fact that we were able to do it as well as we did, it was exciting for me. >> you mentioned your so tall. would you stand up for a second. i want to show something. at first look, this is not the rf synchronized diving. you can sit again. why does it work so well? >> i think growing up we had the same coach and how we train at purdue university and we have the same mechanics and obviously height doesn't matter. we walked away with a silver medal. it works for us. >> when you get the medal, do you stop and go back to all of the early mornings, all of the late nights, all of the drives

long, my first thought was he hurt, it was really that he couldn't believe what had just happened. >> he was in complete shock and devastation because he was the anchor. he was the last one to go up. they thought maybe they had a chance to at least clinch the bronze medal. he had no idea what happened in that moment. >> let's talk about the women. it's a big night. so far out in front. everyone is expecting gold. is that what you see happening? ten points ahead of the next country. that's never been done before. it shows how dominant they are. they continue to be so dominant. >> have you ever seen anyone like simone biles? you've seen it all over the years. how does she rank? >> she hasn't lost a single competition in her last four years. just like team usa as a whole, simone biles, the world has been waiting to see her on the olympic stage. she was finally able to do that.

she's expected to win. she delivered when she needed to. >> tim, let me ask you about that. if you're coaching the women's team going into this competition tonight, what do you tell them -- how do you tell them to handle this mentally? >> take it one step at a time and do exactly what they did day one. this team from the very beginning they have been put under so many different situations, so much stress, so much pressure. day in and day out. it's not a new thing for them. they are know how to rise to that occasion. they truly are the most dominant team in gymnastics ever. simone biles is the greatest gymnast that ever walked this planet. >> no pressure. >> i think she's going to go away from these games with five gold medals. there are only six to be had. >> wow. >> high praise from a couple of people that know the sport. thank you so much. we'll hear from simone biles just ahead.
