WHY DID YOU THINK IT WAS IMPORTANT TO PUT THAT MESSAGING OUT THERE AHEAD OF THE GAMES IN A FEW DAYS? >> YEAH, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT WAS SO IMPORTANT TO TALK ABOUT BECAUSE WHAT I EXPRESSED IN THAT EFFORT FOR A LOT OF OTHERS, TELEPATHIC ATHLETE IS A TRUE FEELING. YOU KNOW, THE OLYMPIC GAMES IS AMAZING CELEBRATION. WE LOVE CELEBRATING OLYMPIC ATHLETES, BUT HISTORICALLY THE PARALYMPIC GAMES, YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN KIND FORGOT ABOUT QUITE E FRANKY. AND SO, YOU KNOW, I LOOKED AS NOT TO USE THE TIME LIKE EVERYONE'S TALK ABOUT THE OLYMPICS. EVANS, TALK ABOUT TEAM USA LIKE NOW IS THE PERFECT TIME TO START TALKING ABOUT THE PARALYMPIC GAMES AND JUST GETTING PEOPLE EXCITED. LIKE YOU SAID, WE'VE HAD SOME REALLY GREAT RESPONSES AND WE'RE JUST I'M SO EXCITED. SAID THE GAME OFF AND SEE WHAT THAT'S GOING TO COVER. IT LOOKS LIKE SPEAKING OF GREAT RESPONSES, OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST SIMONE BILES ALSO ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO 2. AND HERE'S WHAT YOU SAID. >> BE SURE TO TUNE IN TO THE PARALYMPICS BECAUSE IT'S NOT OVER YET. THEY'RE JUST GETTING STARTED IN. GOOD LUCK. >> THAT'S RIGHT. WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED. HOW DID IT FEEL TO HEAR FROM HER, ESPECIALLY AFTER SHE HAD SUCH A HISTORIC RUN AT THIS YEAR'S OLYMPICS? >> YEAH, FANTASTIC SIMON IS SUCH A SUCH A CHAMPION OF NASA TAKES A PSA SHE'S QUEEN, SO TO HAVE OR CHECK IN TO SUPPORT AND JUST, YOU KNOW, BRING BRING THE SUPPORTERS AND FOLLOWERS TO CREDIBLE. YOU KNOW, IT REALLY SHOWS THAT UTSA MINDLESS. HERE'S ONE FOR ALL. AND WE REALLY ARE ONE FOR ALL. WE'RE ONE TEAM USA. WHETHER YOU'RE A BALANCE BEAM REASON WILL COMPETE. >> YOU ARE CO CAPTAIN ON THE WHEELCHAIR RUGBY TEAM FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS CHILD. CAN YOU GIVE US A SENSE OF WHAT WE'RE IN FOR? >> WHEELCHAIR RUGBY IS REALLY A MIX OF A FEW DIFFERENT SPORTS RUGBY, SOCCER HOCKEY. IT IS THE ONLY COMPLETELY FULL CONTACT. PARALYMPIC SPORT. AND SO LITERALLY YOU'LL SEE PEOPLE IN WHEELCHAIRS CRASH EACH OTHER, TRYING TO KNOCK EACH OTHER OVER. VERY AGGRESSIVE. IT'S VERY EXCITING TO WATCH. I THINK THAT WHAT PEOPLE REALIZE IS THE FIRST THING YOU SEE FOR THE LITTLE CRASHING INTO EACH OTHER. BUT THEN AS YOU LEARN MORE ABOUT THE GAME, THERE'S ACTUALLY A LOT OF STRATEGY INVOLVED. IT'S NOT JUST RUNNING INTO PEOPLE RUNNING PEOPLE SAY THERE'S ACTUALLY A LOT OF LIKE REASONING BEHIND WHY WE WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO. IT'S A HIGH PACE, TOUGH, FAST PACE, INTENSE SPORT EXPECTED AS YOU LOVE IT. YOU WANT PEOPLE HOPING PEOPLE CHECK IT OUT. START REALLY SOON HERE. I'M WATCHING THIS NOW. TELL US ABOUT THE EQUIPMENT YOU GUYS ARE USING. OBVIOUSLY BESIDIDES THE WHEELCHAIRS. >> THE LOOTERS ACTUALLY ARE PROBABLY INTERESTING. KIND QUICKLY IS THAT THEY'RE THEY'RE SPECIALIZED WHEELCHAIR IS MADE JUST FOR WHEELCHAIR RUGBY. THEY'RE LIKE LITTLE THANKS. I LIKE TO THEYWEIGH ABOUT 45 POUNDS. A POSTER AVERAGE WHEELCHAIR WHICH WEIGHS FROM 20 TO 25,000 ARE QUITE HEAVY. >> BUT ALLOW US TO LISA BILLY CRASH INTO EACH OTHER AND THEN WE USE A BALL. IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO THE LONG BALL. BUT IT BOUNCES PLAYED ON THE BASKETBALL COURT. YOU CAN SEE PEOPLE CROSS THE TRYLINE THERE. HE TRIES TO CROSS THE TRYLINE. YOU GET ONE POINT. IT SOUNDS VERY HIGH-SCORING. FAST PACE WILL PLAY 4 QUARTERS. THE U.S. SAID IT. VERY FAN-FRIENDLY LIKE TO SAY YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT SPORT TO ENJOY THAT'S MY KIND OF SPORT. YOU ARE 3 TIME MEDALIST YOURSELF FIRST. CONGRATULATIONS. THAT'S AN INCREDIBLE FEAT. >> DO FEEL A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PRESSURE TO SECURE A WIN FOR TEAM USA THIS YEAR OR SINCE THIS WILL BE OUR 4TH PARALYMPICS. THE NERVES ARE LONG GONE. YOU KNOW? SO THAT'S FUNNY. SAY ABOUT THE THE NERVES NEVER LEAVE. AND I THINK THAT'S A GOOD THING. YOU KNOW, THE NERVES THAT NERVES YOU GET BEFORE YOU PLAY A BIG MATCH BEFORE GOLD MEDAL MATCHES. >> YOU CAN BUY THAT EXPERIENCE FOR YOU CAN'T BUY THAT. THE SO IF I EVER LOSE THAT FEELING EXCITEMENT, ALL SAW PLAY. BUT NO, YOU KNOW, I THINK THERE'S ALWAYS PRESSURE DO YOUR BEST AND TO ACHIEVE THE ABSOLUTE MOST UP CHEAPER FOR TEAM U.S. A BUT, YOU KNOW, AS A TEAM, REALLY FOCUS A LOT OF LIKE WHAT IS THE PROCESS WHERE TO GO? WHAT'S THE GOLD MEDAL PROCESS? YOU KNOW, IF WE KNOW IF WE FOLLOW A PROCESS WE GO THROUGH, WE WANT TO GO THROUGH. WE KNOW THAT WE'LL GET THE RESULT. WE WANT THE END. THERE'S GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO PLAY 5 GAMES IN 5 DAYS AND GO THROUGH SOME TEAMS WHO WANTED THIS BADLY AS WE DO. BUT I FEEL REALLY COFFIN THAT WE'VE GOT THE SQUAD OF THE CAN GET IT DONE. AT THE END OF WE ARE ROOTING FOR YOU. WE ARE ROOTING FOR THE TEAM. GOOD LUCK, AOKI. WE HOPE YOU COME BACK.
