Paris Olympics 2024, Women's Gymnastics Qualifying: She's Back!

Simone Biles (USA) started her Olympics today on the Balance Beam.  Just from the attitude in this moment in her routine, you could tell she was fully back.  She did enough in this routine to help qualify Team USA for the team competition, herself for the all-around, and in this apparatus as well.  Clearly, she has put the demons from Tokyo to rest.

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.

Bejing 2022: Carving the Edge

Matthias Mayer (Austria) must be unflappable.  He had to wait a few minutes extra before starting his run in the Super G, but even when he was cleared to go, the gate didn't open.  He reset quickly and then carved his way through the turns on the way to winning Gold for Austria (and himself).  He just barely held on as his American rival, Ryan Cochran-Siegle just missed taking over the lead by 4 one hundredths of a second.  Obviously, the American took the Silver medal.
