Before I get to Jakes wrestling and his decision on his future I will tell another funny story from the games. This is one I heard from Jake. Last time I wrote, Jake had just left my room after making weight and eating until he couldn't walk. He headed back to the Olympic Village to get one more meal and then get to his bed and get to sleep. The village has a bunch of 10 story apartment-looking complexes where the athletes stay. Jake was staying on the 9th floor and he realized on the way up that he didn't have his keys. So he went to the coaches door and started pounding on the door. Nobody answered right away, so he peaked in and the gymnasts Alicia Sacramone and Nastia Luiken were walking toward him. He closed the door real quick, and they opened the door "Hey, what did you need, whats going on?" He shamefully explained that his dorm was right next door, and he went to the wrong dorm. The gymnast had to compete the next morning, I hope he didn't interuppt a team meeting. I think cutting weight makes you lose a few brain cells.

Seems as though he accomplished one of his "goals" during the Olympics.

Yup-once you stop sweating God knows what you are capable of -seems he reverted to his PRIMAL NEEDS real quickly .
I must admit to having a crush on Sam Pesnek -the Indianapolis gymnast who hurt her ankle -poor little thing -work all that hard then sprain your ankle during warm-ups -she is only 16 so she might make it next time -but to come so close has to be frustrating . Of course she may well be a rocket scientist by then .

I'm not buying the "accidental" theory....

That's hilarious. I love that he tried to run away.
