NBC filmed a special profile segment Mark Warkentin, the first American open water swimmer in history to swim in an Olympic Games. NBC wanted to show our elite athlete getting a taste of the local culture. The national television show invited a Tai Chi instructor to teach Mark the basics of the Chinese Tai Chi art.
The segment is set to air a few days before Mark's big race.
