Not Greek gods, though some might see the similarity. Yesterday I was at a training session for the US Women's Foil (fencing) team. It was fascinating to watch, and to talk with the coach. There was a young woman in gear sitting behind me, I asked her questions about the scoring. She was very pleasant and helpful. Another athlete sitting nearby introduced herself too. They helped me understand what I was seeing. Back home, I did an internet search on the team. The women I was talking to may have looked like girls to me, but they were ranked #1 and #3 in the US, #8 and #23 in the world. Both were friendly, charming, down to earth, but also confident. Both attend Columbia University. Both competed in the 2012 Olympics. Yesterday I was impressed, today I'm amazed.

That is way cool JS. I can see how you freaked when you got home and saw they were ranked among the best in the world.

Too cool

It was, thanks guys. By the way, they were Nzinga Prescod and Nicole Ross. Really nice people.

I have met a handful of wrestling Olympic gold and silver medalists. When you wrestle for 10 years that happens lol. They are amazing, down to earth, and brilliant athletes
