Several of us were fortunate to meet Henry Cejudo, Olympic Gold Medalist, and his trainer, Eric last night. In the words of Eric, “push-ups are a perfect exercise”. He proceeded to show us his form in Will Rogers lounge with many fans looking on . This morning they both returned to push with several Pushers at morning stand-up. For those of you who don’t know Henry’s story, he was featured on the front page of the COS Gazette Sports section yesterday and is in the USA Today today. He is the son of illegal immigrants; born and raised in L.A. He is a graduate of Coronado High School here in the Springs. He didn’t wrestle until he was 12. He was the youngest American ever to win a gold medal in the freestyle wrestling event at the Beijing Olympics. Now 22, he is sought after for speaking engagements world-wide. We are honored to have him light the torch in COS tonight for the kick-off of the State Games of America competition.
