Real Salt Lake’s Chris Seitz gets his Olympic ring

On Saturday night just before the start of the Real Salt Lake vs. FC Dallas soccer match at Rio Tinto Stadium, OC Tanner president Dave Peterson presented Olympian Chris Seitz with his 2008 Olympic ring. Here are a few pictures of the event.

Handshakes and applause.

It was a nice presentation; I wish there had been more people in the stadium to share the experience with Chris. I was unable to track down Chris after the match, but I have emailed him a couple questions and when I get a response I will post his feelings on getting his Olympic Ring. More pictures from Saturday night to come later.
