00:00Okay, just have one thing at the top. So I wanted to mention that the President

00:08and the First Lady and the entire administration are proudly cheering on

00:11Team USA. The women of USA Gymnastics brought home a gold medal with an

00:17unbelievable performance and Simone Biles now has more Olympic medals than

00:22any U.S. gymnast in history and the U.S. men's gymnastics team brought home their

00:27first medal in 16 years. But it's not just our gymnasts that are winning big.

00:33The U.S. swim team have scored gold in two contests and the women's rugby team

00:39won their first ever Olympic medal with an incredible win. From tennis, soccer and

00:45basketball to fencing, track and volleyball, our nation's athletes are

00:49making us all proud. Our athletes are, as the President said, the big reason so many

00:56of us believe we can do big things. And not to brag too much, but USA is also

01:03currently leading the Olympic Games with the most medals. As the First Lady said

01:10ahead of the opening ceremony, and I quote, our athletes carry more than just

01:15our flag. They carry our nation's heart and our hopes with them too. So we wish

01:21the team, Team USA, all of them good luck as they continue to make us proud. We

01:28are especially excited to see the women's soccer team and the men's

01:32basketball team in action today. I'm wearing my Olympic Team USA gear, so go

01:38Team USA. We wanted to lift them up from the briefing room today. Hopefully you

01:43guys didn't mind.
