Paris Olympics 2024, Women's ITT: Wet Roads


I may have had a premonition when I was titling this painting.  As in the opening ceremonies, Paris was under a constant rainfall for the last 24 hours.  Not exactly the best conditions for any bike race, particularly a time trial.   As the current World Champion in this discipline, Chloe Dygert (USA) had the honor of going last today, but the weather wasn't changing for her.  Just after I painted this and restarted the video here rear wheel slid out from under her.  She wasn't the only one to hit the tarmac today, but she looked like she was on a medaling ride.  She did manage to gather herself and finish with a Bronze Medal in the opening cycling event of these Games.

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.
