The French favorite, Leon Marchand (France), did not disappoint the home fans in the pool. He is the current holder of the World Record in the 400 Medley race. He is particularly gifted in his turns and his speed underwater. Each turn put him further and further ahead of his nearest competitors. While he missed breaking his own World Record, he did set a new Olympic Record and won a Gold Medal in front of the French fans. It was quite the scene to see so many French singing their national anthem with such joy and gusto. Chapeau! The silver medal went in a tie to both the USA and Italy.
This is a small 4x6 inch original watercolor painting that is available through my website at greigleach.com or you can simply follow the direct link at the end of the post to purchase the painting above. Since it is an original work of art, it is a first come first served reality. The work sells for $95 USD including shipping, but, yes, international shipping is both available and extra.
