Theme Week, Part Judo

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

Day 10: Nareg Guregian



It's a very special monday edition of Theme Week, because Jeremy was on vacation on Friday and forgot to post the final day of US Olympian or Foreign Head of State Week.  So, you get it today, and later, we'll continue our regularly scheduled Blagging.  


So, the Olympics are officially over for another two years, when we'll all gather in South Korea for the 23rd Winter Games.  We look at the final medal tally for this Summer's Games and the US came out on top, with a haul of 121 medals, 46 of them Gold.  Way to go, team!

A little farther down the standings, we find Mexico coming away with 2 Silver medals, and 3 Bronze medals including the Modern Pentathlon.  You know, we couldn't make do with one of those old fashioned Pentathlons...we had to modernize it.  I'm not entirely sure what events make up the Modern Pentathlon, but I can tell you with utmost certainty that Mexico's Ismael Hernandez Uscanga is the third best in the world at it, and his picture on Google shows him riding a horse, so that's probably involved. 

Why all this talk of Mexico?  Well, because Thursday's edition of US Olympian or Foreign Head of State introduced everyone to Enrique Nieto, who did not compete for the United States.  He enjoyed the games (presumably...I don't actually know where he was) from just south of the United States in Mexico, where he is the current president.  Nieto assumed the position in December of 2012, and since has been named to Forbes' list of The World's Most Powerful People. 

The final day of Theme Week brings us Nareg Guregian.  So, for the final time (at least for this year...who knows what will happen in 2018?), we ask "US Olympian, or Foreign Head of State?"
