competing here today.

The competition

is fierce this year.

I can't remember a time

when the bar has been

raised so high.

And for good reason, Bart.

For those of you

just joining our broadcast,

these trials today will decide

the six young men

from all over the country

who will be representing

the United States

at this year's Olympics.

All right, Millman.

Just the routine

you showed me. Right?

No triple flips,

no showboating.

Just get up there and be you.

ANNOUNCER:
Coming up next,

the top qualifiers

from UC Berkeley.

TOMMY:
Hey.

How you doing?

You together?

You did something that

none of us can completely

wrap our heads around.

You know that, right?

I mean, it's like a miracle

or something, Dan-o.

Whatever you learned, man,

whatever that guy

taught you...

You think...

You think maybe you can

rub a little of that magic

onto me?

It's not magic, Tommy.

Just getting rid of all

that bullshit you have

up in your head,

tells you

you might not be enough.

So when you get up there,

you make every move

about the move.

All right?

Not about the gold.

Not about what your dad

thinks about you.

Not about anything

but that one moment in time.

But this is for the gold.

Everything we do, Dan-o.

I mean, at least for me,

my whole life is about getting

those 20 seconds

in front of those judges

so they can

give me that gold.

You wanna know what my dad

would think of me

if that happened?

You want to know how

my whole life would change?

How everything that's

a problem right now

wouldn't matter anymore?

I'd get everything I want.

I'd get to be happy.

I'd get to be happy, Dan-o.

ANNOUNCER:
Next up,

ladies and gentlemen,

from UC Berkeley, Dan Millman.

Now, Dan is quite the

wild card, Bart, because less

than 10 short months ago,

this young man actually

shattered his leg

in a motorcycle accident.

SOCRATES:
Where are you, Dan?

Here.

What time is it?

Now.

What are you?

This moment.
