I Woke up August 17, with the best intention in mind, to perform my personal best. I had the World Champion as my first match but what can you do about that. That was the luck of the draw. I went into that match ready to give her my best. At the end of the first round I tried a risky move to try to score a point that cost me the first round. In wrestling you win a match with the best out of three two minute rounds so it was not over. The match came to an end in the second round when I got caught in the fireman throw. This was disappointing but the quest for a medal was not over yet. The way the wrestling draw works is the following… All the people who were defeated by the person in the gold medal match get to wrestle off for the bronze medal. After that you get ranked by points. Since the Bulgarian girl was in the finals I was back in the tournament. I had to win against Spain and than I would have been in the bronze medal match…. The match went to three rounds and I lost a close match to Spain. That lost took me out of the running for a medal.
This has been a crazy but rewarding experience… Any given day anything can happen but some days are just not your best days…
I am happy to be at the Olympics and these experiences can only make me a better person and a better athlete…
Now that the work it done… It is time to have fun…
