Sparks Game

Last night we were invited to the LA Sparks (WNBA) game to be honored at halftime. 6 of us were able to come and we made a GREAT night of it. The fans were awesome....they were so stoked that we had shown up with our matching jackets AND medals. When Sparky escorted us out onto the court, the fans started chanting U-S-A so loudly...It was like we were playing a game in the arena! Afterward, people were giving us high fives and taking pics with us all over the place. Some had never actually seen water polo, but were so in awe of the Olympics that they couldn't help talking to us to learn more about what we do.

Just lots of athletes and fans who LOVE sports and competition! It was a very very very cool experience and I'm so happy I was able to go. Not to mention that the game was extremely fun!

Next order of business, heading home to see my friends and family who woke up at odd hours to watch our games and created so much excitement for us and the Olympics!
