Beijing 2022: Having Some Fun

Eileen Gu (China) had score well enough on her first run down the half pipe to win the Gold Medal.  On her second run she improve her score to untouchable.  On her final run with the points in hand to know that gold was also in her hand she decided to have some fun with a couple of goofy jumps in her coronation run.  Chapeau, Eileen!  I hope every Olympiad has rememberedto have some fun dispite all of the pressure, danager, and desire to win.  Afterall making it to the Olympics is a victort in and of itself.

Beijing 2022: She's Above It

Eileen Gu (China) has been that stand out Olympian in these Games.  First, although raised in the USA she chose to compete in the land of her mother, China.  She felt that she could use the platform to elevate her sport and the power of women in China.  She certainly got people taling about her both on a off the slopes as she wom two gold medals and one silver in the three events she entered.  Now she is on to Stanford University.

Beijing 2022: First Is the Best

Those of you who read my writings know how much I love to create titles that have more than one meaning.  That is definitely the case with this painting of Chloe Kim (USA).  Her first run was a brilliant high scoring tour de force of half pipe snowboarding.  And it put her in the lead to stay.  Good thing too, she fell trying an even bigger more difficult trick on her second and third runs.  In her post event interview she talk about always trying to progress in her sport.  So she saw no reason to take a victory slide down the middle of the half pipe, but instead tried to land a move she has yet to land in competition thus far.

Olympics 2018: A Glory Run

Before Chloe Kim (Team USA) started her final run, she knew she had already done enough to claim a gold medal in the Women's Half Pipe.  Yet, she showed her class by going big, and posting her best numbers in the competition.  This to me is what an athlete must do, you can go half steam, you must go full gas - always.

Olympics 2018: Dropping In

Alas, I won't have time to paint these Games with the same intensity that I have painted the last Winter Games and two previous Summer Games.  Darn that working for a living thing...

However, I just couldn't resist painting today's events as I watched them play out on my television screen.  This is the American, Kelly Clark, as she puts in her Bronze Medal winning ride in the Women's Half Pipe finals.
