BEIJING, China - Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo has had the time of his life in Beijing.

That was evident when the best freestyle wrestler in the World at 55 kg/121 lbs. took part in the U.S. Olympic Committee Closing Press Conference on Friday afternoon at the Olympic Games Main Press Center.

Cejudo joined USOC Chairman of the Board Peter Ueberroth and USOC Chief Executive Officer Jim Scherr, and four other Olympic medalists during the 45-minute session in the main press conference room.

Cejudo, 21, became the youngest U.S. Olympic champion in wrestling when he captured the gold medal on Tuesday at the China Agricultural University Gymnasium.

"The experience here has just been phenomenal," Cejudo said. "It's everything I pictured the Olympic Games to be. The U.S. Olympic Committee did a great job with everything. We had a great facility to practice in and the USOC really took care us. Beijing has been great. I feel really blessed to have had this opportunity."

The session provided a recap of the 2008 Olympics and provided the news media with an opportunity to question the two executives and five athletes about their experience here in China.
