Today is Saturday, October 9th, and we're welcoming Olympic gymnast Jordan Childs to the

newsworthy.

She stepped up in a big way at the Olympic Games this summer in Tokyo, when her friend

and teammate Simone Biles suddenly withdrew from the team final.

Jordan Childs is now sharing what it was like when she first heard she had to fill in,

and we chat about mental health overall, including the time Jordan herself almost quit gymnastics

completely.

Plus, hear what she's up to now, and whether you'll see her at the Olympics in 2024.

And welcome to the newsworthy special edition Saturday, when we sit down with a different

expert or celebrity every Saturday to talk about something in the news.

Don't forget to tune in every Monday through Friday for our regular episodes, where we

provide all the day's news in 10 minutes.

I'm Air Commandy, it's now time for today's special edition Saturday.

Jordan, thank you so much for coming on the newsworthy.

We're so happy to have you here.

Thanks for having me.

I'm excited.

So first, let's start by talking about the Olympics.

I know it was your first Olympics, and you did not expect to have to compete on beam

or bars in the team final, but ultimately you stepped in when Simone Biles pulled out.

So what was going through your mind when you first heard that was going to have to happen?

There are so many things that are going through my mind.
