Hyperactive Missouri Gov. Greitens touts his physical feats
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Rappelling into a bull-riding rodeo event , crawling through dirt in a SWAT obstacle course and entering a burning building with firefighters.
These could be action movie stunts by Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Hollywood star turned California governor.
But they were all done by another governor earning a reputation for public displays of physical prowess — Eric Greitens of Missouri.
The 43-year-old Greitens — the nation’s second-youngest state executive — revels in the attention, posting videos of his action adventures on Facebook and even using them to help stay fit while keeping a demanding schedule.
