Rio Olympics: Rowing for Silver

With the women from Great Britain holding such a commanding lead in the Women's Pair rowing event, the race was now for Silver.  The boats vying for the remain podium spots were Genevieve Behrent (New Zealand) and her teammate, Rebecca Scown versus Hedvig Rasumssen (Denmark) and her compatriot, Anne Andersen.  New Zealand was able to surge ahead to claim the Silver and Denmark followed up for Bronze,  The USA was just out of the medals in fourth place.

Rio Olympics: Slipping Through

Slipping through, that is what I wish had happened for me Friday.  After appointments at city hall, doctor's appointments, technology fails and exhaustion, I was finally able to get a number of great paintings of the Games.  Not all I wanted to do, but I am beginning to realize that is not a realistic possibility.  It was possible for the two-woman team of Heather Stanning and Helen Glover from Great Britain.  They slipped through the water more like the water striders from my days playing in the creek behind the house.  Team GB rowed their way to a Gold Medal.
