Tegenkamp Olympic Opening Ceremony JournalPublished by
5:15 p.m. to 1:30 a.m.—that’s the amount of time that we were at the opening ceremonies. Do I second-guess the decision to go? NO WAY! The evening started out with Team USA arriving in the fencing hall for a message from President Bush and a team photo. It took a while for the president to arrive, so it was nice to get to mingle with the other teams. It was pretty impressive to see the amount of members that encompasses Team USA—I think we had close to 400 members walk, and that did not even include everyone. What was completely unexpected was the entire “Dream Team” arrived shortly before the president did; they were immediately swarmed with teammates wanting pictures. It was amazing to see how they took everything in stride and took pictures with whoever wanted one and there was time for.
