AND THE MEN'S GYMNASTIC TEAM, WALKING AWAY EMPTY-HANDED. BRITAIN EXCITED FOR THEIR BRONZE. SHANNON MILLER KNOWS THE FEELING OF WINNING A HOMETOWN GOLD IN ATLANTA. SHE GRABS IT THERE AS PART OF THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN. GREAT TO SEE YOU. AND WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE WOMEN'S COMPETITION LATER TODAY. A LOT HAS BEEN SAID. SHE'S EXCITED FOR HER TEAMMATES THAT ADVANCED TO THE ALL-AROUND. AND DISAPPOINTED SHE DID NOT. HOW DOES SHE PULL HERSELF TOGETHER FOR THE TEAM COMPETITION TODAY. THAT WAS A DEVASTATING BLOW FOR JORDYN TO BE OUSTED FROM THE FINALS. TWO OF HER OWN TEAMMATES, OUSTING HER. THAT PROVES HOW STRONG TEAM USA IS. AND WHAT JORDYN HAS TO DO IS COMPARTMENTALIZE. WHAT YOU DON'T WANT TO DO IS HAVE THAT CARRY OVER INTO THE TEAM FINAL ROUND. THEY'RE LOOKING FOR GOLD. THEY'RE THE TEAM TO BEAT COMING IN. SHE HAS TO SET THAT ASIDE AND FOCUS. AND I THINK JORDYN CAN DO THAT. AND SHE HAS BEEN UNDER THE RADAR SCREEN A LITTLE BIT. SHE'S A TRUE ROCK OF THIS TEAM, ISN'T SHE? SHE IS, ABSOLUTELY. SHE WAS SELECTED TO BE TEAM CAPTAIN. SHE'S A GREAT LEADER FOR THIS TEAM. AND I THINK A LOT OF TIMES MAYBE SHE'S A LITTLE WEAK ON THE UNEVEN BARS, OVERALL, MAYBE NOT GOING TO BE IN THE ALL-AROUND. BUT SHE HAS BEEN SO STEADY. SO CONSISTENT. AND SHE CAN SCORE ON BEAM AND FLOOR THAT MAKES UP FOR HER BAR SCORE. AND JOINING HER FOR COMPETITION, WILL BE HER TEAMMATE, GABBY. TELL US WHAT WE SHOULD EXPECT FROM HER TODAY. A LOT OF BIG SMILES. GABBY IS SUCH A SPIT FIRE. SHE IS SO HIGH FLY. WE CALL HER THE FLYING SQUIRREL. WATCH FOR HER UNEVEN BAR ROUTINE. IT IS OUT OF THIS WORLD. IT IS AMAZING. WE WANT TO SEE A HIT BEAM ROUTINE. SHE RUNS HOT AND COLD IN THAT EVENT. I THINK USA WILL BE A-OKAY FOR THAT GOLD. YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO COMPETE. AND WE SAID THE LAST WOMEN'S TEAM TO WIN THE GOLD IN GYMNASTICS, 1996, THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN. CAN YOU GIVE US INSIGHT WHAT THE WOMEN MUST BE FEELING JUST HOURS BEFORE COMPETITION? WELL, THIS IS HISTORY IN THE MAKING. THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST TIME THAT THE WOMEN'S TEAM WON THE GOLD MEDAL ON FOREIGN SOIL AT AN OLYMPIC GAMES. THAT'S INCREDIBLE. FOR THIS TEAM, WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO IS KEEP THE EXPECTATIONS IN CHECK. REALLY PUT THOSE BLINDERS ON. STAY COMPLETELY FOCUSED ON THEIR ROUTINES AND COMPETITION. AND TRY NOT TO THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT THE BIG PICTURE. ALL THAT MATTERS IS WHAT YOU DO ON THE FLOOR TONIGHT. WE'LL BE WATCHING FOR SURE. SHANNON, GLAD TO SEE YOU'RE CONTINUING TO DO WELL. YOU TAKE CARE. THANK YOU.
