The Arnold Sports Festival is the world’s largest multi-sport fitness weekend — a three-day fitness free-for-all with 37 events and 12 Olympic sports. This weekend, more than 150,000 sports fans witnessed 17,000 athletes competing in a wide range of sports — from the 20th anniversary of the Arnold Classic professional bodybuilding competition to archery, boxing, cycling, fencing, gymnastics, judo, running, table tennis, tae kwon do, weightlifting, wrestling, and wu shu. That’s a lot of sports. I don’t even know what wu shu is.

As usual, a mega-popular three-day Fitness EXPO anchored the fest with 650 fitness-related booths and ongoing stage entertainment. Among that entertainment and appearing at the “EAS Experience” were NFL players Vernon Davis (TE, San Francisco 49ers); Ronnie Brown (RB, Miami Dolphins); Larry Fitzgerald (WR, Arizona Cardinals); and Matt Hasselbeck (QB, Seattle Seahawks). I had a chance to speak with Vernon, Ronnie and Larry before their public appearances yesterday. Matt was ready to interview with me when host Arnold Schwarzenegger happened by the booth and that’s when I lost Matt. So, I’m blaming Arnold for messing up my interview with Matt Hasselbeck.
