Summary
It’s Day 13 of the Olympics and I went to Champ de Mars Arena to watch Wrestling. Luckily for me, my seatmate was an avid wrestling aficionado from Missouri. Laura was her name and her three kids all wrestled. She had spent time with Team USA volunteering as well.
On that day, SpenCer Lee, Aaron Brooks, Helen Maroulis all competed in their respective classes and did really well. Myles Amine wrestled at Michigan and he represented a country I never heard of before, San Marino, a microstate in Italy.
After the matches I tried out the famous chocolate muffin that Norwegian Henrik Christiansen (the Muffin Man) had made go viral, due to his insatiable appetite for them.
