Paris Olympics 2024, Men's Gymnastics Team All-Around: Doing One Thing Very Well


The final apparatus for Team USA in the team competition was the Pommel Horse.  It was the only event that Stephen Nedoroscik (USA) was competing in for the team.  Not only had he waited throughout the entire event, but he was the last to go in USA's rotation.  He seemed to be keeping himself calm and very relaxed all evening.  He was very cool as he tweaked the set-up of the horse to his exact specifications.  Then he jumped up and started his near flawless routine.  I can't believe that he was able to do two single arm spins in his 45 second appearance on the Olympic stage.  As he came off the floor, the team knew that they had (and he) had done enough to win a Bronze Medal for Team USA.

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.
