USA Quad Rugby Team Has Final Workout in Argentina Before Tournament

Hello from Latin America again. We had a super long day yesterday. We were at the gym for 11 hours because transportation was not well organized. This is Argentina’s first time hosting and they are overwhelmed, but trying very hard. The people here are fantastic.

Today (Wednesday) we had our last workout as a team. USA is ready to compete and bring back the gold. Our team has player classification today. Three of us already have a permanent classification, so we got to go back to the hotel and relax….thank goodness….it is going to be another long day for the rest of the guys.

The facility is nice. We are playing at their “Olympic Training” site. The food at the venue is not the best, but in town we can find great food. Tonight the three of us that got to go back are going to find a local eatery and have a good meal. Oh ya, the tournament held an awesome dinner for us at a local upscale steak house on Monday night. The steaks and pasta were great!

Tomorrow morning we have opening ceremonies and have our first match at 1:30pm against Brazil. Thanks for all the support. Internet is tough to come by, so I am doing my best. We are excited to be here representing the United States. Thanks again. Brent Poppen
