When the defending Olympic Gold Medalist faltered it was his teammate Shinnosuke Oka (Japan) who rose to the occasion. He had been posting excellent scores and was benefiting from others earlier misfortunes as well. As he finished his final rotation on the Parallel Bars, he knew he had a medal. Now he just has to wait for Zhang Boheng (China) to finish his High Bar routine to discover what color it would be. I'll jump ahead to let you know that Zhang's score was not enough to overtake Oka, so it is Gold for Japan. He is now a team gold medalist and an individual gold medalist in the men's gymnastics all around.
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.
