Sam Mikulak finished fourth on high bar, just a tenth of a point below Leyva.But Leyva was the only one who didnt seem particularly surprised at the sequence of events. Asked how he would have reacted if someone had told him three months ago that hed end up winning two Olympic medals, he laughed.I probably would have argued with you and said, No, Im going to win gold, Leyva said. Thats the mentality you have to tell yourself. You have to believe within yourself that you can do more than people expect.Alvarez said he had just landed in Miami from a trip to junior nationals in Michigan iin early May with his younger gymnasts, when he learned of the dog bite, which left a gaping divot in Leyvas calf and wounds on his fingers from where he tried to pry the dogs mouth open.dddddddddddd.When I got home, Danny has feet this big, Alvarez said, holding his hands about a foot apart. And he cant even walk. So to me, I thought the Olympics was over. So when he was named alternate to the team, I cant breathe because I think we wouldnt even come here to see the Olympics. I think its over. Four years of hard work is over. So when he got the chance to be alternate, I feel so proud. Oh my God, youre still alive.[But] he never gave up. He never told me he was not going to compete. ... He made the team and I said Were going to bring home more than one medal. Leyva called the high bar turnaround absolutely a redemption.Its incredible, honestly. Its a dream come true, he said. Nobody has a perfect day, but I feel like this was as close to perfect as I possibly could have gotten, and Im incredibly happy.Leyvas two medals are part of a 12-medal haul for the U.S. gymnastics program, the highest ever for the Americans.[Everything that happened] has absolutely given me a greater appreciation [for the medals], but I never thought it wasnt going to be possible, Leyva said. When I had the dog on my leg I was just thinking, Really, right now? This has to happen right now? But then as soon as I got back from the hospital I was like, Ill be back faster than people expect and thats exactly what the doctor said. He said hes never seen anybody heal that quickly.Miracles happen, you know? ' ' '
