- Jordan Chiles and Grace McCallum are so proud of the fighting four! After Team USA won silver in the women's gymnastics team competition, Jordan and Grace told Access Hollywood's Scott Evans how proud they are of their teammates, including Simone Biles. The star athletes praised Simone for her courage and explained why they believed she did the right thing when she decided to withdrawal from the competition. "She just felt so much weight on her shoulders. She was like, 'Look y'all, I don't want ruin something that I know you guys have worked so hard for,' ... right there was the moment I wish everyone could see ... she put all of us in front of her," Jordan explained. Plus, Jordan broke down in tears over being called hero.

Access, never let go of this interviewer, he shows appreciation, thoughtfulness, he listens and lets the people speak. Give him a raise, he is wonderful!!
Totally
Absolutely
Access, give this man a raise! I’ve been seeing all his interviews with the US gymnasts & other Olympians and he has such a way of asking important, insightful, and relevant questions in a respectful manner. More of him please!
I second that. I'm so tired of the same old same old from NBC. This man reaches these young ladies. He is real with them. Teens need that.
he is amazing!
Totally agree!
Yes he is great....
Agree!!
He’s fantastic. He listens to their answers and is kind, not digging for dirt. Grace has become one of my favorites. She’s a team player, graceful under pressure and has such a calming presence! The way she consoled MyKayla was so sweet. Living in Utah I can’t wait to watch her at theUniversity of Utah!
I cant agree more !!! Im so proud of the usa ladies !!! Such amazing girls!! Being such inspirational women. This is what a team is !!!! Just love the gentleman doing the interview
YES! They were all amazing, but Grace deserves so much credit for all she brought to this team. Her grace, maturity, steadiness, and athleticism was integral to the team’s win. Can’t wait to root for her when she competes for the University of Utah.
@@TheJoieB Grace will have company at UU: MyKayla! 😃
Well, at least Myk will finish college there, whether or not she does any more gymnastics.
This interviewer seems like he is genuinely kind and wants to bring out the qualities of the people he is interviewing.
Agreed. He is one of my favorites
True, he's a great interviewer.
I like this interviewer. His delivery is encouraging and respectful!
Indeed! He reaches them. They are teens. That's impressive!
Similar to many of the comments. I wonder why.
@@dtanner7 I guess because most interviewers would have made this all about Simone or made it seem silver wasn’t enough. He seemed genuinely happy for them and I enjoyed his approach. Very respectful, relatable and encouraging which sadly isn’t the norm anymore.
@@lyssabarnes-burnside1680 I just find it weird that the interviewer gets more attention than their subject.
@@dtanner7 yeah I see what you are saying. I know I commented on a lot of threads about them and what stood out here was how different his approach was. Of course I am so proud of them for their silver medal and how amazingly they were able to step up to the plate. So i guess when you can’t see everything someone has said as a whole on a lot of threads then it would seem odd. Fair enough :)
What a wonderful interview. I don't know who this guy is but he's been great! It's about time we start celebrating silver as a win, instead of a loss and he did that so well!
Can't agree more!
Absolutely! I read so much about not winning gold for the us wag team would be "losing". That makes me sad and angry because being second is also a win... Even more I loved seeing this interview and I was so glad that the girls see their medal as a win and are not disappointed by not winning gold.
💯💯👋🏼👋🏼
Yes. I agree. His name is Scott Evans and he is with Access Hollywood. God's love and blessings!!!
First time on tv he was on americas got talent. He came out and shocked everyone singing josh turners your man. The man can sing and his low key is magnificent
Give Scott Evans a medal. All the hosts are great, but he really engages the athletes in a way that brings out the best in them. I enjoyed this interview - the ladies are great role models for stepping up to plate and keeping everything positive.
💯💯👋🏼👋🏼
When I watched Scott interview Katie Ledecky, she put one of her medals around his neck, so he got to wear it at least until the interview was over.
This guy would make a great late night show host. So genuine and actually lets the guests talk and feel comfortable + asks insightful questions.
Agreed
Scott Evans is hands down the BEST interviewer! His interviews from Tokyo have been great. All the athletes should just go straight to him.
Why isn't anyone acknowledging the fact that this team came through in a mighty way despite a sudden, major change on the team. Jordan pulled two events she wasn't prepared for.
Didn't have much choice did they
Those questions will get addressed …in due time …
I mean they are really prepared no matter what. They are four all around gymnasts.
Marta Karolyi never would have allowed that abomination of sportsmanship to take place. Disgraceful.
@@dolphmanity But Marta and Bella allowed sexual assault to take place for several years. That’s disgraceful. Check your priorities.
Jordan has so much personality, she's the cutest. "I called my mom, because it's not like I know any celebrities" she is PRECIOUS and so funny, no choice but to stan
Called her mom because she does not know any celebrity? Her mom IS a celebrity! Local notoriety in Oregon/Washington for wire fraud & embezzlement of $1.2 million. Due to report to federal prison on Aug 26.
@@isabellagianni6791 none of that makes her mom a celebrity
Completely agree, she's so funny. I love her.
@@isabellagianni6791 bro she's still Jordan's mom tho - Jordan has no control over those circumstances, & these athletes need all of the support they can get
@@isabellagianni6791 what does her mother’s criminal record have to do with this?
I love Grace, she seems like the sweetest teammate. congrats ladies!
This was a joy to watch. This interviewer is phenomenal.

Grace was our emotional rock. Serious Amanda Borden/Aly Raisman vibes. Amazing Grace for sure. Not to mention her gymnastics is just stunning.
They did amazing, but seriously how devastating that it wasn’t a five person team to begin with! No one could have had predicted what happened to Simone, but it was never out of the scope of possibilities that something could have gone wrong with one of the four athletes and it sucks, that everything was riding on these three girls. They totally stepped up to the challenge 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 But thank goodness it will go back to being 5 people for the next Olympic year
I agree, they could've at least allowed one alternate to stay just incase something does go wrong and its not so much pressure on the other girls! With 5 members on a team you have more of a support system and you can have people step in easily and that's a bit more challenging with 4
@@Sunflower_vally Mykayla Skinner is still there and ready to step in if anything happens during the rest of the competition. At least that’s what I saw on her and her husbands instagrams.
Suni did a lot to get silver too.
Mykala got the short end of the stick. She deserved better.
Suni deserved the team silver medal. Grace deserved the team silver medal. Biles bailed out, but she was holding the medal too- ok give it to her for her courage to recognize mental health.
Jordan…she deserved the team silver medal, too, for doing better than in her qualifying rounds.
But…Jordan’s silver medal has a little more weight on it than gold.
Her mother’s federal crime puts weight on this because she stole & embezzled some money that went into Jordan’s training early on.
Nonetheless, jordan will get our congratulations.
Pay back time, mom Gina!
@@Sunflower_vally After qualifications, you are not able to sub people in.
Jordan seems like such a bright & genuine human. Even during the team finals her energy was everything. Being able to watch her was a pleasure. They all did amazing. Congrats to all 4 of them.
This interviewer deserves a gold medal
The viewer is going to go a long way he did a fantastic job. He made them feel so comfortable as if he knew them for a long time. I'm so proud of them they love each other
bot
Much praise to this guy. Yes he asked about Simone but majority was focusing around them and how they handled the entire competition. He also was so nice to them and it felt more like a conversation rather than their usual media attack.
The crazy thing is Jordan pulled that off & her mom was supposed to be turning herself in to federal prison the first day of competition but a judge gave her an extra mo bc of Jordan being in the Olympics so she’s also got that on her mind. I can’t imagine to be going through all of that & to still step up & pull that off is amazing!!
that’s crazy! do you know why her mom is going to federal prison or how i can find more info? i cant imagine how shes feeling. insane!!
@@katie9457 She embezzled over a million dollars for personal use.
@@katie9457 she embezzled millions of dollars!! Also, what’s crazy, Jordan wouldn’t of been able to afford gymnastics without it. It’s SO expensive. She has to do a year in prison. The victims are furious. She took over 900k just from ONE lady. It’s so sad because she will never get that money back. She should of got way more than a year.
@@heathermitchell7191 Jordan's mom has to pay the $1.2 million back when she gets out
@@2001Butterflykisses She will never pay it back. Crime pays and she knows it.
This is a great interview! Feels comfortable. And I’m happy to see the girls weren’t too traumatized by the whole situation.

Love the guy who is interviewing them he’s very genuine and it seems like he cares. He makes them and the viewers feel welcome
I echo the compliments about Scott already, but I wanted to point out specifically that he’s giving these young women the room to be teenagers. He’s not talking to them like they’re adults, but doesn’t treat their age as something lesser. He lets them be who they are and then celebrates them.
I love all these girls. They seem so sweet and supportive. Wish I could’ve got Sunis input too, I just love her
I love both Jordan and Grace, amazing athletes and great personalities. Congrats ladies! Jordan had me cracking up, she's hilarious.
I was going to write this a few minutes in but waited until the end. I LOVED the interviewer. He knew back stories. He had empathy. He made me laugh.
Great interview, great interviewer . . . . go USA women's gymnastics team . . . very proud of all team members. Thank you for representing us. Continued success . . . .
Some of these comments are horrible. They brought home an Olympic medal (which Simone contributed to by helping them qualify!) let them celebrate their WIN
Thank you for saying that. People are just so cruel.
Really enjoyed the interview, very personable interviewer. I enjoyed Jordan but would have liked to hear more from Grace as well.
I have never seen such an interview. This young man is amazing and treated the young women with such respect and caring. This team is tge one that all young gymnasts need to be shown. Grace under fire and determination and support to their teammate and her to them. This has story has shown what team is about. Thank you for the Fighting Four!!💕❤💕🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I'm sick of all the Simone hate from people that know nothing about gymnastics nor do they care about gymnastics til the Olympics come around. If it were game 7 of the world series and your star pitcher was off his game giving up home runs, missing the strike zone, walking batters and whatnot would you keep him on the mound? Hell no, you'd pull him out and go to the bullpen. So much of sports is a mental game and Simone just wasn't feeling it for whatever reason. She did the right thing for the TEAM! Congratulations team USA for making America proud!
This guy most be a dad. His so cool and make the girls feel so comfortable with this interview. Great Job!!
This dude is the best interviewer ever!!
I love this guy who is interviewing the olympians. It feels like he’s talking to a friend I loved it and go Team USA you girls are amazing to do what you do at such a young age and face so much pressure and then deliver is really inspiring!
Another phenomenal interview by Scott Evans. That man is a national treasure
this guy is the best interviewer i've seen during these olympics! and he's on access!? @NBC, y'all need to hire him, stat!
I love how Jordan speaks so highly of Simone, u can tell they are rlly close 🙃
I love the support they all have for one another🥺❤️
Congratulations, ladies. Grace, you really led the team off with great confidence. Huge admiration to your steady performance.
To all people who say that Simone should not be praised for quitting: I think there are aspects of her decision you didn't see yet. I want to explain them so that you can hopefully understand better why everyone says she made a brave decision.
I think there are two aspects of her decision a lot of people don't see or don't understand. 1. She withdraw to avoid major injuries and 2. to not lower the teamscore due to possible following mistakes. Maybe it's easier to see/understand these aspects for people who follow gymnastics intensly and/or did gymnastics thereselfs, like I did as well. Gymnastics is a lot mental, you have to be extremely focused, more or less relaxed in your mind and you have to believe in yourself and that you can do your stuff (fear leads to doing stupid things and get hurt, also my own experience...). The more difficult the skills are, the more important are these mental things. If you struggle with them it can cause injuries. In Simone's case major injuries, easily deadly, because of her insanely difficult skills. (And in other dangerous sports like football we should also think about how to protect athlets from severe injuries in my opinion!) I think that she thought after her vault "If something like this (mental block or whatever it was) happens at my tripple double at floor I could easily get hurt horribly... or at least get large deductions that cost the team not only the gold medal but a medal at all." That means she made her decision to protect her health and the medal for the team. Thats not exactly how she explained it herself, but this is what she meant with "she had to focus on herself" - protect herself from injuries due to mental struggles and also she fucused on herself admitting to not beeing able to contribute to the team in this situation. To admit this and to draw the consequences was surely not an easy decision. She could have continued, hurting herself, making mistakes that lower the teamscore tremendously and after it saing "at least I tried" (would that have been worth it and bring good results?) She also could easily have said, that she injured her foot at vaulting and pulled out for that reason, but no, she withdraw and was honest about the reason and that's brave because the reason for her decision is not acceptet in the sports world as we can see now when reading all the comments. But I hope that will change. In my eyes she is an absolut rolemodel for listening to herself and protect herself and the team. But I respect of course other opinions, I just wanted to explain my view, it's a really long text now, sorry for that, but I hope you maybe understand now a bit better, why people "praise her for quitting".
Edit:
I forgot to mention one of the most important facts of all: The team consits of *4 gymnasts* , but only *3 compete* on each apparatus (the ones who are expected to have the highest scores). This means that if one person drops out, the team is still functional.
2nd Edit:
I know now more about the circumstances. She had a short blackout in the air, also called "the twisties" in gymnastics, this is when you loose orientation in the air and are not able to control your body anymore. This happens very rare and Simone didn't experience it before. She was supposed to do 2.5 twists but got only 1.5 around. This lowederd the difficulty value of her vaul so tremendously that it cost the team most likely the goldmedal already at this point in time. She feared to make another major mistake that will cost the team a medal at all, so she withdraw to give the girls a chance to save what can be saved. She said in the press conference: "I dind't want to risk the team a medal because of my screw ups, the girls have trained way too hard for this."
Thank you @Veronika Hartmann for this comment. There are so many people out there hating on Simone without understanding how difficult and dangerous the sport of gymnastics really is. I support Simone for her bravery to make such a difficult decision and not only think of herself but also her teammates.
This comment is EVERYTHING!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
This!
grace's skin is IMPECCABLE my god. also this is the best interview i've seen. He focused on grace and jordan which a lot of people weren't doing. Of course he talked about simone but he mostly focused on their accomplishments and routines.
What an amazing interviewer! So kind and respectful.
These girls did amazing!! They should be so proud!
Sunisa and Jade are great!!! Sunisa is brave and quite. I'm a really a fan of suni.
I love Suni too. She is so calm qnd focused. She pulled off a great uneven bars routinr
That's cool, but these two are amazing also
I'm sure he has a separate interview with Suni and Jade. All four of them seem very sweet and humble.
I want to hear Grace speak more!!
🥲🥲 Fighting Four! Such and inspiration.
I'm a Japanese living in Tokyo.
Congratulations on your silver medal!!
I love Jordan, what a character :))))) so proud of her as well! Proud of alll the girls!!
Great interview! He focused on each of them and didn’t throw Simone into every question. Loved it!
Ladies you all still did an amazing job. It could have been any of you to not make it to the end. Thanks for a job well done. We love you. Bring home that SILVER. You are still WORLD champions.
great interview...sweet and humble team...they look out for each other
Grace is my favorite, I love her!! 💙♥️
@@yagirltones8748 Suni and Jordan are so amazing too!! I'm hoping for Jade and Suni to be on thst podium tomorrow!
@@yagirltones8748 where can I see their individual scores?
Scott, you're great at what you do! This is another great conversation! Congratulations to Team USA! Jordan and Grace are so fun and cool!
I love this interviewer! Also so proud and happy for all team USA for pushing through everything 🙏❤️❤️
They did so well 😍 and omg this interviewer is Elite!!!
I love this interview
I would also like to hear Grace more. Gymnasts ate not used to talking that much. Congratulations Jordan and Grace
To Win silver after a teammate falters at the beginning of the Team Final really is incredible!!!
These Girls are sooo sweettt💕
Congrats ! Team USA 🇺🇸❤️💕
Y'all need to triple his salary! He's the best!!!🥰
I admire you girls for your support of your teammates and your fighting spirit. Love you dearly. You are the winners in my heart. 💯❤
Awww I remember watching Scott in middle school on channel 1 news, he’s always been a good reporter/interviewer. I just love how he interacts with them
This is my favorite interview of the whole Olympics so far!! So inspiring!!
Enjoyed the interview, though it is imperative to get balanced response opportunities from both athletes!!!!! Love these amazing athletes and appreciate their abilities and exceptional work ethic!!! Congratulations Girls!!!!!
The respect they have for each other as teammates is the real deal.
This is such a great interview! Jordan is hilarious 🤣 I love her!
Bravo👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. Great interview & interviewer.
I really hope Jordan comes back in 2024!!
I love him and they both did a great job. So glad they are representing the USA. Congrats to all! Yay
Their All Amazing,Beautiful Young Women,Talented ,Awesome Job!❤
Great job ladies. We love all of you
Congrats girls! beautiful medals!
I love how real and transparent Grace and Jordan was during this interview; Scott is exceptional at his job, he is engaging; and truly knows how to make his guest feel so comfortable that they feel like they are talking to their best friend and he makes them feel so at ease the interviews are exceptionally good. Great stuff; again it is wonderful to hear Jordan praise God; special, very special.
I love this interviewer!!! He is so awesome!!!! Go team USA!!!!
Silver means you are still class winners never forget that can only push for more greatness you have delivered well despite anything
and for sure a great interviewer.
So proud of all of the team! Jordan has been my daughter's fav for a long time, nice to see her so happy!
lol this interviewer is just adorable with the way he questions them.
Love our Fighting Four! You go ladies!
Simone is considered one of the fighting 4 right?
Yes, great interview but he focused more attention on Jordan and didn’t do enough to incorporate Grace into the discussions. Nonetheless, congratulations to this awesome team!
Jordan is very outgoing. Grace not so much of an extrovert
I think it was because whenever he asked Grace something, she would just look at Chiles, so it made sense to not make her too uncomfortable, he’s a great interviewer in my opinion
Too much attention to Jordan indeed. But Jordan loves attention & seeks attention and talks too much
Jordan takes over and talks too much. She did it in the press conference as well
White rasism
This interviewer, Scott Evans, is really excellent. He conducts by far the best interviews I have seen during this Olympic coverage. I love that he focused the conversation on these women and their accomplishments first and foremost, rather than jumping right into talking about Simone like nearly all of the other interviews with them have done. I normally tune out Access coverage, but this guy is the real deal.
Give this man a raise!! What a beautiful interview!!
This was a great interview!
I'll just be one more viewer cheering for the interviewer. Props to you!!
Silver or gold is just an icing on the top of the cake. These ladies r champions. Congratulations to each of them. #teamUSA
So proud of all of you! Congratulations!!!🥰🥳🎆🎉🎊🌞🌈🔥👏🙌🙏💐💖🤸♀️🥈🏅
Now this is one great interviewer! He is very calm and respectful, would love to see him conduct the rest of the Olympic interviews! 🙌🏼
He’s purely just interviewing them about their experience and not trying to talk about Simone.
I love this interview!!
This makes me so happy. They are awesome. They miss Mone but they have been blessed with awesome support and trainers that care. And they served!! 😍
good job usa team .hard work pays off.
I watch Gymnastics only because of her, when I heard that news that she is not going take part then my heart got broken. I strongly support her decision and I appreciate for her courage
Great interview… Jordan you should be on a cereal box 😁 so proud of you and The way you guys pulled it off👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 see you never give up no matter how tough it gets that’s a real Olympic player!!!
Simone has been fighting for them, now they are fighting for her way to go team
Love this interviewer! These girls have such heart!
omg! they are both so cute and REAL! i loved the questions, the answers, basically this WHOLE interview. *chef's kisses*
Fantastic fighting four hands down amazing job enjoy those medals because they were well earned
They are so sweet
I love that the girls see their silver as a win instead of a loss, and the interviewer too. He seems genuinely proud of them.
Awww this got me in the feels!
Lmao 🤣 they are going to laugh they butt offs 20 years from now Jordan and Grace at this interview like we were babies lol
THIS IS TRUE FRIENDSHIP, LOVE AND CARE FOR SIMONE AND EACH OTHER. 🥰🥰🙏
Nice interview. Great job ladies.
Big props to these girls. Being shorthanded unexpectedly and picking up another's slack is unfair but, it's what true competitors do.
They didn't get caught up in another's drama and focused on what they were there for.
