Due to a disastrous start of his bid for Gold Zhang Boheng (China) needed a near perfect score on his final apparatus, the High Bar. He started on the Floor Exercise where he so badly missed a tumbling pass that he ended up with his head and hands on the mat, basically making a tripod with his body. He has spent the rest of the night trying to claw back from a deep scoring deficit to get to this point. He knew he was going to take an almost perfect score but fell short. Fortunately, he did literally fall short. Despite his best efforts, he just couldn't overtake Oka for the Gold, and like China in the team competition, he must resolve himself to be the Silver Medalist of these Games. Still China leads the Gold Medal count with nine, but is quite a bit further down the tally in the total medals count.
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.
