My workout went well today. It's nice having USA Weightlifting men's team with us training in the weight room and all of us training together. Closing ceremonies is tomorrow and I can not wait !!!
The highlight of my day are the photos below :)
Adam Nelson-USA Track and Field, Shot Put, 2 time Olympic Silver Medalist
Though we ate lunch together yesterday we bumped into each other again today. He was just getting out of the cold plunge as I was ready to get in. Adam is a very friendly, happy and funny guy. I would say he is one of my favorite athletes I have met here at the Olympics !
Though I did get to meet Matt Lauer 2 months ago, it was still great to see him again and get a photo with him in Beijing ! He wished me the best of luck and great training....
That's right....Kobe Bryant !!! I was getting a massage when someone sat down next to me, I turned my head to look up and its Kobe ! He said "Hey girl...." he asked what sport I did, and where I was from. He was very nice and asked questions about my sport. He said he used to do the clean and jerk but he's to 'old' now.
You never know who you are going to meet !!!
