It wont for a while. Its been pretty awesome the last couple days being able to spend time with boomer and the family and seeing everybody before they took off either this morning or yesterday. Its the best way to finish. You know that old expression, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, same on me. We sat in london and you said done, done, done. Response here. Done, done, done. And this time i mean it. I think like we talked early in the year i wanted to come back and finish the career the way i wanted. This was the cherry on top of the cake. You told me when we got together that you fell in love with swimming again. So im wondering if now you wont miss it more. After london you werent in love with swimming. I thought i can understand why for me now its just being able to i think the biggest thing between now and london is i was so much more emotional during these games. I think that showed at times on camera. I think thats the difference because i knew this was the last time. I knew this was the last race i ever had and last olympics that i ever had. Everything just really hit hard. And i guess some of it some walked into warmdown pool that friday night the tears started filling my eyes. Bob and i shared some of those emotional moments together. My last warm up. Last warm down. Last time putting on a suit. Last cold tub. Is this the last time we get i have a feeling not. You always kind of give me the straight arm when i ask you i understood. What about personal goals now . What do you want to do as a 31 year old leaving swimming behind with a long life ahead of you. This is a part of my life where i get to start this whole new chapter. Continuing to build a family with nicole and continue to travel and change the sport of swimming in some way that i can.

Would you look across there for a second and is the future in good hands with the young lady named Katie Ledecky. We are not only with katie but with the team that we have now. Katie is doing her thing and shes breaking records every time she gets in the pool.

If they ever need anything, to reach out. Big sport for me and help the guys as much as i can. Thank you for giving us a front row seat to a great run. Congratulations. Hoda . Katie, while michael is still over there, how about if you look at michael and tell us what impact has he had on swimming. I mean, hes been your mentor throughout this. A huge impact young swimmers that are on the team this year. We all looked up to him when we were 6 years old and to be on a team i didnt mean it like that. Im sorry. Its just i started watching him when i was 6 years old first starting to get into the sport and to be on a team is an honor and to see his impact in the pool and outside of the pool. These medals.

Announcer todays athlete to watch is sponsored by bount y, the quicker pick upper. Another athlete to watch, Allyson Felix. Lester holt is here with her story. Lester, good to see you at the beach. Good to see you. Allyson felix h final after finishing first in the semifinals despite the fact shes still recovering from an injury, one she told me already cost her a race she badly wanted to run here. Some wait years to hit their stride. For Allyson Felix, it takes just 20 seconds. Im a super laid back person in my real life. You have to get to that aggressive place and kind of turn into someone else when its time to compete. Felix has come to rio to challenge herself like never before. The 200 has always been my favorite race. I always call it my baby. 400 is a new challenge to me. Im not as comfortable with it. Definitely outside of my usual realm. I caught up with her at uclas Drake Stadium this past spring. For people who only follow track every four years of the olympics, to be clear 400 is one time around. One time around. Doesnt look that hard. F 400 slow or fast, its one of the most gruelling events out there. You just dont feel good in it. Rio will be bittersweet though. At the olympic track and field events last night, felix nursing an ankle injury from april saw her hopes of a golden repeat in the 200 come to an end. She placed fourth losing by the 200 qualifying in your head. So many times. I mean, it was so close. It was unfortunate about the whole ankle thing and not quite enough time. The gun sends them on their way. A fierce competitor, felix has raced since 2004 collecting four gold medals and two silvers along the describe the moment when you know youre going to win it. Sometimes you dont know until the very, very end. When you know at that final moment and you zip for the line and you think you have it, its just joy that all of the hard work has paid off. Felix was known as chicken legs in high school but her parents call her by a sweeter moniker. Shug. Short for sugar . Short for sugar. Is she hard on herself . Shes a real competitor. And she hates losing, but i think she loses gracefully. Her brother, wes, has always been by her side both at home and on her track. Hes her agent. Wes, how have you helped try to keep your sister focused given all shes been through . She has done the hard work. I keep her focused on her goals and all you have to do is break it down and stay focused on one step you can. Do you two ever bicker . We used to growing up but not anymore. We are close now. Our mom loves that word bicker. We heard that a lot growing up. Felix aims for the sky in rio. . Happy birthday to you . Her close and deeply spiritual family keeps her grounded. We have a tradition before the competition she does call if things that are important in terms of the outcome of the race. It helps me put everything in perspective. I love to have that prayer with her and know that its bigger than track. Its bigger than winning a race. Its good to remember that. Allyson felix will be on the track tonight. If she wins gold, shell have more gold than any other female track olympian. I like the fact that its a Family Affair too. Very close. All up next, meat, meat and more meat. Announcer todays rio is sponsored by cocacola. Here . Were back at 8 44. Time for todays rio. This morning there is a whole lot of meat on the menu. Meat is on the menu. We took a trip to the birth place of beef, chicken, lamb and pork. Its a tradition spread all over brazil and beyond. Meat is its a simple way to cook meat on charcoal open fire. The tiny brazilian village of 3,500 people is thought to be the birth place. Most is all over the country and abroad came from families city. The tradition of salting meat and grilling it for hours over hot coals was brought to southern brazil in the 1800s by the south american cowboys and ranchers. The guys stop any place and put a fire in the ground and they cooked and have a meat and they keep going working and and today in some parts of the country, its just as important as religion. It is the most popular male in southern brazil. Its part of who they are, upbringing, for every family gathering, every festivity, its present. Its part of their culture and tradition and their way of life. Where you can find the restaurants on every corner and city block slicing up beef, giving family and friends a chance to try a little bit of everything along with vegetables, rice and beans. An experience thats been brought to the United States with restaurants. Its now part of the lifestyle of brazilians from north to southeast and west. It brings people together.

It was my first olympics obviously. I teared up a little bit. Very surreal. I think everyone standing here as kids grow up watching the olympics and dream of wearing one of these and then to actually have it happen yesterday is an incredible feeling and something well share forever. A hard fought match. Were you ever in doubt while you were playing . Actually, we came back from behind. We lost the first set and our opponents were playing great. Got up in tie breaker in the third. Got down. We didnt realize how far down we were until someone told us in media afterwards. Good thing you didnt know.

Bites im billy, and i quit smoking with chantix. I decided to take chantix to shut everybody else up about me quitting smoking. I was going to give it a try, but i didnt really think it was going to really happen. 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, 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.

Five years free of the disease, shannon is helping other women with the battle and weighing in with pride on the next generation of olympic champions. Shes on. Made Shannon Miller unbeatable at the atlantic games. When i look back, i think of the importance of hard work and dedication of making every moment count. Gold medal skills she would turn to 14 years later when doctors discovered a baseball size tumor on her ovary. I wasnt the most talented or strongest or flexible but i could outwork anyone. Its not as cancer. You cant necessarily outwork it. At 33, the body that made miller the most decorated american gymnast in history betrayed her. They used it as a tool to become the best in the world at something and all of a sudden i had no control, no idea what was going on. Surgery took the tumor. Aggressive chemotherapy took the new mothers hair. Commentator at the london games. As a cancer survivor myself, i know how much a wig can change your outlook. Did the wig make you feel more like you . It did. It gave me that boost of confidence. Now an advocate for Ovarian Cancer screening, millers presence adds a spark to rios pink ribbon association. This workshop trains wig makers. Wigs can cost up to three times the average monthly salary so pink ribbon gives we can use a little bit of hope. We give a very friendly, warm hug. Today miller is building her lifestyle business and raising rocco and sterling with her husband john relieved to be five years cancer free. In the quiet moments, mostly hard to think about going through that and wondering if my son is going to have a mother. That was hard. What isnt hard is celebrating the final five.
