Days 3-5 Update

It's been a little busy, not a lot of time to write, but wanted to give you the highlights of these couple days: Got to sit with some of the women's fencing team, former Penn Stater Monica Akdamit, the purple haired Dagmara Wozniak, and Ibtihaj Muhammad, who is making history (look her up). I was super excited to chat with them, and guess what the conversation eventually turned to? Nail Polish…turns out we have a lot in common! ;) Scrimmaged against Italy on competition court. It was great to be able to step on the court prior to competition, the venue is amazing and has a historic vibe to it, lots of great players have played in the arena. Also was super excited to see my former Italian teammates, Serena Ortorlani and Monica De Gennaro. Great to hug them and get to catch up a bit, Serena just married her hubby (again) only this time with a formal ceremony, and Moki got engaged to her long time boyfriend and our former assistant coach Daniele Santarelli. So excited for them both!! We moved out of the Village the day before Opening Ceremonies to be closer to our venue, we loved the vibe of being at the village, being around all the athletes and coaches, but the long drives with traffic were a little bit much for us. We were finally able to truly unpack and get settled in, which is always a great feeling. I hope I didn't leave any highlights out, but I'll close this chapter and fill you in on Opening Ceremonies next!
