From WRAL-TVs Renee Chou: Weve reached the halfway point of our Olympic marathon assignment! Only 12 more days of live reports to go. We havent driven each other crazy... yet.
From WRAL-TVs Renee Chou: We tag team every morning on the news, and we FINALLY get to meet! Awesome talking with Today Show host Matt Lauer.
From WRAL-TVs Renee Chou: Thrilled to talk with silver medalist Kathleen Baker about her Olympic performance! The 19-year-old is from Winston-Salem and trains in Charlotte. She swam her personal best in the 100m backstroke Monday night. She has an effervescent personality and just glowed with joy and warmth! She even let me touch her medal! Kathleen swims again on Saturday in a team relay.

From WRAL-TVs Jeff Gravley: I have seen many unfinished buildings here in Rio. I wonder if they will be completed when the Olympics are gone. Right beside these incomplete buildings you see the Olympic Golf course. Quite a contrast.

When Gravley shared the screen captures of his story about North Carolina connection Maggie Haney, long-time coach of the U.S. Women's Gymnastics Team Laurie Hernandez (in the slideshow above), he posted the following:
Enjoyed talking with former NC State gymnast Maggie Haney who has coached Laurie Hernandez since the gold medal winner was 6! Here's my written story. Wish we could post the video but Olympic rules won't allow.
