Beijing 2022: Fighting for Gold

My wife, the actor Bridget Gethins (look her up on IMDB.com) noticed that yet again I forgot to titled and sugned this painting while she was selecting her favorite of the day.  She came up eith "Fughting for Gold: which is far superoir to my idea of "Sprinting for Gold"  (This is why she titles all of my large scale works).  Ivanie Blondin (Canada) and Francesca Lollobrigida (Italy) got out of the final turn first, but it was Irene Schouten's (Netherlands) incredible sprint that decided the Gold Medal.  Blondin held on for a close run Silver. And the it was Lollobrigida (the great niece of the famous Italian actress from the 60s) and Mia Manganello Kilberg (USA) in her first international race vying for the Bronze.  It went to the Italian.

Beijing 2022: Making Sure

There are two disciplines in the Winter Olympics that strongly resemble all of the aspects of cycling.  Speed skating is one of those.  Many of its events are identical to track cycling.  Riding a velodrome is still one of the things on my cycling bucket list. Meanwhile, back at duscussing this painting... Irene Schouten (Netherlands) keeps a close eye on her main competitors; Gina Lollabridgida (Italy), Valerie Maltias (Canada) and the Japanese skater who's name I wasn't able to catch.  She crashed out of this semi-final heat and her name wasn't posted on the finish listing.

Olympics 2018: Final Corner

This was the women's mass start in speed skating, the first time this race has been an Olympic event.  It is based on a similar event in track cycling.  Riders gain points in three intermediate sprints during the race, and if a skater can lap the pack they will gain 20 points.  The final sprint earns the first across the line 60 points, so it still comes down to the finale.  Going into the final corner of the race in was Irene Schouten (Netherlands) on the front followed by Nan Takagi (Japan) with Bo-Reum Kim (Korea) on her wheel.  It was Takagi taking Gold, with Kim in for Silver, and Schouten for Bronze.
