NEW YORK (AP) — Under the bright lights of Times Square, Adeline Gray grabbed the microphone and turned an interview into an impromptu speech about the virtues of wrestling.
Gray had just taken part in the annual exhibition here for the first time Thursday, where a temporary mat and stands are set up beneath the billboards and skyscrapers. The announcer bellowed her name, young fans screamed and tourists paused to crane their necks to see what was going on.
Now for the next three months, Gray will return to the mostly anonymous life of training for the Olympics.
