Latest Posts
So last night, I got to touch my first Olympic Gold Medal!Some friends and I went to a local nightclub teeming with athletes from all over the world. I met Dutch rowers, Canadian baseball players, German rowers (lots of rowers, actually), and some American athletes!As I walked towards Michael Phelps’ corner, which was packed with people wielding cameras, I accidentally kicked over a guy’s drink. I turned to him to apologize, but he just laughed it off and introduced me to his friend Henry Cejudo, the first US wrestler to win an Olympic Gold medal at the Beijing games! He was still wearing the medal, which was hilarious. One side is pure gold with a picture of a woman and the name of the sport in relief. The other side has a small circle of jade. It wasn’t cold to the touch like I though it’d be, but it was a bit heavy.At the end of the night, I met the US Men’s gymnastics team! I felt like a stalker since I know everything about them for work, but they seemed to enjoy the attention. When I asked Justin Spring to dance, his eyes popped open. “Me?” he asked. Yes, Bronze-medallist Justin Spring. You.
Please wait...
