I had the day off today from commentating, so I got a workout in with USA Wrestling Head Coach Steve Fraser, then went to the Silk Market. At the market they have hundreds and hundreds of shops where we could bargain and try to get the best price. We’re having a really good time; China is a very unique country. I’m happy to have the opportunity to be here.
After the Silk Market, we went to the USA House to a USA Wrestling function. The Ambassador to China was there and he spoke to our group–it was cool. I was also able to talk with USA Silver Medalist in Shot Put, Adam Nielson. He won his medal in the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. We had a good time talking about how big we both are! We took a funny picture with him pretending like my head was a shot put and that he was throwing me. It was a good time.
I have three more days of commentating left, then I’m headed back to the US on Friday. I have about a week off to relax, then I’m back to my schedule of motivational speaking. I have events coming up for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, John Hancock and many others. The month of September alone I’ll be in Lincoln, NE, Beverly Hills, CA, San Francisco, CA, Moberly, MO, Peoria, IL and San Diego, CA. Never a dull moment!
