On the last day of Jenny's visit, there was an Oceania wrestling championship. The championship lasted the entire weekend with Greco-Romanian wrestling on Friday, freestyle on Saturday and beach on Sunday. I had never seen beach wrestling and was curious to see it but wast able to see it. I saw Friday and Saturday events.
It was really interesting to see all the different countries in Oceania compete against each other. Some matches were quick and over in a second or two while others lasted about 5 minutes.
The winners of these games will represent Oceania in the Olympics in Rio.

Children wrestling with each other during break. I hope seeing them inspired them to become involved. Something is better than nothing.
I met the coach of Pohnpei/Micronesia. He is a current world teach volunteer in Pohnpei. Cool!
Wow! You'll be able to see them on TV in Rio!
