Olympics 2018: Starting It Off

The American, Lindsey Vonn, was the first women to take the the Super-G course, an unenviable position.  She naturally posted the first best time, but managed to hold that ranking for some time.  Alas, she finished the day tied for sixth place.

Olympics 2018: Time to Take a Bow

Once her final real challenger had completed their slalom run ever so slightly slower, it was time for Frida Hansdotter (Sweden) to take her Gold Medal bow.  Chapeau!

Olympics 2018: Cutting It Close

In slalom skiing, it doesn't matter if you hit the gate with you body, as long as your skis go on the correct side of the base of the gate.  Actually, the closer you are, the more likely it will be a better time at the line.  Skiers will wear a protective face guard, along with wrist and shin guards to prevent being injured by the force of striking the poles at 70 kilometers an hour or faster.  While Denise Feierabend (Switzerland) was cutting this gate to perfection, her run was not enough to get her onto the podium in Pyeong Chang.

Olympics 2018: Carving the Hill

It was the Austrian, Katharina Gallhuber who carved up the Women's Slalom for the Bronze Medal.  An while I am trying to share around who gets painted from what countries, the Austrians are just owning the Alpine Events, and the prize for best kit.

Olympics 2018: Up the Final Climb

The American, Jess Diggins, was posting very impressive times as she neared the finish line in the Women's 10K.  Going as hard up the final climb as she possibly could, she managed to finish the day in 5th overall.  A great showing since due to the tie for Bronze, she was only one step (or just 5 seconds) off of the podium.

Olympics 2018: Skiing Home

It was Marit Bjoergen (Norway) putting in the best times all along the course of the Women's 10K Freestyle today.  Bjorgen passed Ebba Andersson (Sweden) who had started a full minute ahead of her on her way to the finish line.  The Norwegian held the lead at the line, but a couple of her countrywomen were chewing up the snow behind her.  Ultimately she ended the day in a tie for the Bronze Medal.  Since I paint these images from live feeds, I didn't manage to get a painting of any of the other medalists.

Olympics 2018: A Perfect Run

Mikaela Shiffrin (USA) defended her medal in the Women's Giant Slalom brilliantly today.  She was the second to last of the contenders to hit the slope in Pyeong Chang and put in a flawless run.  She took gold in the first of the women's alpine events that had been delayed to do bad weather on the mountain.  Chapeau!

Olympics 2018: On Course

I confess that part of the reason I painted Meta Hrovat (Slovenia) was the brilliant green of her ski suit.  Sometimes you just have to go for the colors.  However her run had her finishing with the best time at the end of her run.  Sadly, she eventually slipped down to 14th on the day.  But she looked good doing it!

Olympics 2018: Tight Line

The grace and speed of skiing lends itself nicely to painting.  I have always loved capturing the figure, movement and color on paper, and the alpine events lend themselves nicely to that passion.  Ricarda Haaser (Austria) laid down a great run to top the leader board as she finished.  Too bad for her that some of the big names in her sport were yet to take on the second run of the Women's Giant Slalom.  She finished the day in 17th place, yet she did spend some time on the leader's box watching the rest of her competitors.

Olympics 2018: Looking for Gold

It is always nice when the guy taking the Gold Medal also has one of the best kits on the hill!  Marcel Hirscher (Austria) showed why he is considered the best at the slalom.  His brilliant run earned him the win in the Men's Combined.
