Russia
Published October 12th, 2010

We are finally in Khasavyurt, Russia and they finally got us some internet connection. There is no internet in the hotel we are staying in but the hotel is right next to the olympic training facility and one of the buildings has some internet. It was quite the hassle to figure out where we could get the internet. But anyway we had a workout today and one yesterday before we left to Khasavyurt. Good workout today with Tervel Dlagnev who is our heavyweight on the trip. We just rolled around and wrestled some live to blow our lungs out and get out bodies moving and ready to wrestle. We weigh in tomorrow and just found out that we will only be getting a 2 kilo allowance for weigh ins instead of 3 kilos. The word was 3 kilos but the FILA delegation changed it to 2. Which is really no big deal and you just go with the flow. So we weigh in at 6pm tomorrow and then get ready to wrestle on Thursday. There are supposed to be 12 teams here so we should be getting around 6 matches which will be good. Time for USA to smash some people. Not really a whole lot to do here during the day because the city is not very developed. We just hang out in our hotel mostly and watch tv series on our laptops, so that is the highlight of our day pretty much. We are all excited to wrestle on thursday and the place we are wrestling in is really cool. It feels like the crowd is on top of you so that makes it that much more exciting. The venue we are wrestling in prolly seats around 3-4 thousand and has 3 mats on a platform. So I am excited to get wrestling. Thats all for now and I will keep everyone updated.
