Paris Olympics 2024, Women's Triathlon: Winning at Home


I should say that I don't know if the Frenchwoman, Cassandre Beaugard lives in Paris, but I am sure the City of Light has adopted her tonight.  She was clearly urged on by the French fans as she made her move in the last kilometers of the Women's Triathlon.  She dropped her teammate Emma Lombardi, as well as Julie Derron (Suisse) who you can see behind just coming over the rise of the Pont Alexandre III for Silver.  Not yet turning onto the bridge is Beth Potter (Great Britain) who claimed the Bronze.  The French end today with a total of 26 Olympics medals eight of which are Gold.  They only trail China in total Gold Medals by one, and the USA in total medals by four.  These games have already been an epic success for the host country on both the sports side and the host side.  Chapeau!

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.
