So I went to sleep early last night, woke up late, ate dumplings for breakfast, bullshitted around, then went to the old Tokyo Olympic Park (from like 1974) to watch the Emperor's Cup (the nationals for Greco and Freestyle wrestling). I met up with a wrestler from Australia but is going to a Japanese University on a wrestling scholarship and he gave me a ticket to get in (it is usually free but a big name K1 fighter (kid Yamamoto) was making an attempt to qualify today and they decided to charge admission and the place sold out)) Kid won his first then separated his elbow in the second, which sucked, but the rest was cool. So many guys in the finals are sophomores in college, which is unheard of in the states, so it was weird. Crazy how young they are compared to the wrestlers we send.
After that I went back to Yoyogi, walked around a bit, mostly places I haven't explored. Found a beautiful little shrine/park that I took some pics of (I'm just too lazy to post them). Then I bought dinner, came home and wrote this. Early to bed tonight so I can awake to a long day of training tomorrow.
