Read More Here: "BEIJING, China - We;ve flown halfway around the world, gotten signed in and credentialed at all of the places we�re supposed to, the Olympians have done the media obligation thing, and Opening Ceremonies kicked off the competitions.
For many people, all of the excitement has just begun. For us, the distractions will be falling to the side and stop getting in the way of our practice routine. We finally get to come together at the same place at the same time twice a day like we're used to doing. It�s amazing the difference one day can make for our bodies and the effects of jet lag.
The Olympians got their timing and power back for our second mat practice yesterday morning. Next week the Greco guys compete, with us to follow. All that's left is for us to do our thing. We'll keep the Olympians sharp, cheer on our Greco team, make weight, and compete.
The U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) has created an American oasis here in the middle of Beijing and the hustle and bustle of the Olympics. It's as if they've picked up the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs and transplanted it here in China."
