sportsfan added a comment August 09, 2009 02:52 AM| ReportI meet Natasha Watley in person today at CAL PRO SHOPS in Harbor City, California today (8/8/2009). She signed a bunch of autographs for her fans and took the time to take pictures with anyone who wanted to get a photograph with her. She is truly a class act. She helped win the gold medal for the USA Olympic team in 2004 --- her friendliness also won her a gold medal with her fans. -
