The American Haley Batten (USA) had to chase back after a flat tire in the early laps of the race. In fact it was Jenny Rissveds (Sweden) who alerted Batten's mechanics as she came through the Tech Zone. This is one of the things I love about women's cycling, Rissveds' was under no obligations to help out Batten, but she made it so the American's mechanics were ready when Batten arrived for service. While I am sure she wanted to get the Silver Medal, her action was rewarded with a Bronze. Medaling at the Olympics is a life goal for most every athlete and only three are given in every event of the 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.
