Beijing 2022: Going to Be an Olympic Champion

As Justine Braisaz-Bouchet (France) skiied her way into the final stretch of the Mass Start Biathlon the announcer provided me with the title for the painting.  Since I watch as close to live and paint the image that appeals and tells a good story, I didn't know that moments after this one she was handed a French flag to carry across the finish line.  Her final five shots were all hits allowing her to jump ahead of the pair of leading Norwegians who had to ski penalty loops for missed shots to claim the Gold medal in the final Biathlon event in Beijing 2022.

Beijing 2022: Skiing Faster, Shooting Cleaner

The title is the simplified plan to winning a biathlon.  The Norweigian duo of  Marte Olsbu Roeiseland in front and hidden behind her, Tiril Eckhoff were doing just that.  As they left the first shooting range their perfect shooting put them over forty seconds ahead of the rest of the field in the Women's Mass Start Biathlon.  Alas, their lead didn't quite hold up (others can use the same formula), but Eckhoff ended the race wuth the Silver Medal and Roeiseland took home the Bronze.  This Bronze meant she has earned five medals in these Games alone, a new Norweigan record and Winter Olympic Women's record as well.

Beijing 2022: Skiing Well

The Biathlon may be my new favorite Olympic winter event, and this from someone is near anti-gun.  So as soon as I recover from this shoulder surgery I am going to figure out how to start cross country skiing here in Virginia.  This is Dorothea Wierer (Italy) skiing towards the grandstands after her final turn on the shooting range.  She skiied (and shot) well enough to earn a Bronze Medal in the Women's Biathlon Sprint.
