Theme Week, Part Individual Swimming Medley

Jeremy Is In The Office Proudly Presents 
US Olympian or Foreign Head of State Week! 

Day 9: Enrique Nieto



Only two more days of Theme Week, folks.  Enjoy it while it lasts!  


That's right.  We're already on Day 9 of US Olympian or Foreign Head of State Week, and boy have we had some fun.  Yesterday, we introduced you to Cyrus Hostetler, a regal name if there ever was one.  But is Hostetler political royalty, or Olympic royalty? 

Well, unfortunately neither. 

Hostetler is an American Javelin thrower who competed in both the 2012 and 2016 Summer Olympics.  Sadly, his qualification round throw of 79.76 meters was good only for 20th in competition, preventing him from advancing further.  A throw of nearly 82 meters was required to lock down 12th place, and a spot in the medal rounds.  Keshorn Walcott of Trinidad and Tobago blew away the competition in the opening round with a stunning throw of 88.68 meters, more than 2.5 meters father than second place.  The medal round takes place Saturday evening. 

On to Day 9, and Enrique Nieto.  2016 US Olympian, or Foreign Head of State?
