I CAN'T HELP BUT SEE YOU HAVE THREE DISCREET LITTLE NECKLACES
RIGHT HERE.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) CAN WE TRY THEM ON?
YOU WANT TO TAKE ONE AND YOU TAKE ONE AND YOU TAKE ONE?
HERE WE GO.
>> THIS IS FROM THE HUNDRED.
BEAUTIFUL.
EY'RE HEAVERY.
ARE HEAVY.
HEAVIER THAN MY BRONZE.
( LAUGHTER ) >> James: YOU HAD OLYMPIC
DREAMS WHEN YOU WERE A YOUNGSTER.
>> I DID.
I WAS A FIGURE SKATER AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE FIRST DREAM
THAT I HAD CRUSHED BECAUSE OF A GROWTH SPURT, I THINK.
>> James: BECAUSE YOU WERE TOO TALL?
>> WELL I THINK THE SKIING WAS AN ACROBATIC SPORT AND I DID
MAYBE ONE AND A HALF AND I HAD TO CUT THE DREAMS.
>> James: YOU HAD NOTHING ELSE TO FALL BACK ON?
>> NOTHING.
I WAS A TERRIBLE STUDENT.
IT'S A MIRACLE THAT I AM DOING WHAT I'M DOING.
>> YOU HEIFER THINK ABOUT GOING BACK TO IT?
>> I WANT TO.
>> James: I'D LOVE TO SEE IT.
IT'S THE GREATEST EXERCISE.
>> James: WE WOULD DO IT AS A TAPED BIT IF YOU WANTED TO GO
BACK AND BE A FIGURE SCART, ME AND YOU.
I'LL THROW YOU IN ONE OF THOSE -- BUT YOU HAVE TO COMMIT
TO IT BECAUSE WHEN I ICE DANCE, I LEAVE IT ALL ON THE ICE.
I WILL NOT DO IT WITH SOMEONE WHO IS DOING IT HALF-HEARTEDLY
BECAUSE WHEN I SKATE, I SKATE TO WIN.
( LAUGHTER ) THIS GUY KNOWS.
HE HAD TO PULL OUT A 9.9 JUST TO BEAT ME IN THE PARKINGT LO.
AM I WRONG?
>> YEAH, YEAH -- NO.
WAS VERY POOR.
>> YOU DID REALLY -- >> James: I'LL TELL YOU THE
WORST THING ABOUT IT IS I KNEW I'M NOT A VERY FAST RUNNER.
THIS DIDN'T COME AS A SHOCK TO ME, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS THAT
SLOW.
( LAUGHTER ) IN RIO, YOU MADE HISTORY WITH
THE TRIPLE -- ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
FOR ANYWHOWN DOESN'T KNOW, EXPLAIN WHAT THE TRIPLE-TRIPLE
IS.
>> IT'S WINNING THE OLYMPICS BACK-TO-BACK.
I WON BEIJING AND THEN IN RIO AND --
( APPLAUSE ) IT'S HARD, THOUGH.
>> James: IS THAT PLAYING ON YOUR MIND WHEN YOU'RE GOING INTO
THE FINAL RACE OF, LIKE, YOU KNOW, TRIPLE --
>> I THINK DEFINITELY YOU THINK ABOUT IT A LOT MORE BECAUSE YOU
KNOW YOU CAN'T MESS UP THIS ONE.
FIRST IT WOULD BE, LIKE, ALL RIGHT, I GOT IT DONE.
THEN YOU GO, IF I MESS UP NOW IT'S NOT GOING TO LOOK GOOD ON
ME.
IT PUTS ADDED PRESSURE, BUT YOU SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE CONFIDENCE.
I'VE ALWAYS HAD CONFIDENCE IN MYSELF AT EVERY POINT IN TIME NO
MATTER WHAT, SO I JUST WENT OUT AND DID WHAT I HAD TO DO.
>> James: ARE YOU A LONG DISTANCE GUY OR SPRINTING WHERE
YOU THINK YOU'RE THE BEST ON THE TRACK.
>> I'M SURPRISED YOU'RE ASKING ME THAT AFTER SEEING ME TODAY!
( LAUGHTER ) I DIP MY TOE INTO BOTH.
IN FACT, WHEN I FIRST GOT TO LOS ANGELES ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO,
MY BROTHER AND I, LUKE, WE SAW THAT THE L.A. MARATHON WAS
COMING UP AND WE THOUGHT MAYBE THAT WOULD BE A GOOD WAY TO GET
TO KNOW THE CITY.
AND, SO, WE RAN THE MARATHON, AND WE RAN IT WITH NO TRAINING.
ANTI-TRAINING, ACTUALLY.
WE HAD A BIG FRIDAY NIGHT, AND THEN THE MARATHON WAS ON SUNDAY,
AND WE RAN IT, AND WE MADE IT TO -- WELL, FIRST, WE LITERALLY
STOPPED AT A JACK IN THE BOX AT MILE 13.
( LAUGHTER ) I SWEAR I HAD A DOUBLE
CHEESEBURGER AND FRENCH FRIES, CURLY FRIES.
AND THEN AT ABOUT MILE 19, LUKE'S KNEES WERE TURNING BLUE.
AND THEN WE GOT PICKED UP AT MILE 21 BY SOME MEDICS AND
STUFF.
SO WE DIDN'T FINISH, BUT WE DID SEE A LOT OF THE CITY, YEAH.
