A Silver Medal Throw PO24-68
I got a bit overwhelmed with painting the Olympics, so after the Men's and Women's road races, I've decided to paint from various high lights in hopes of not burning myself out. That being said, it is back into the Track & Field for the newly minted American Annette Nneka Echikumwoke (USA) and her medal winning hammer throw. She has recently gained US citizenship coming from Ethiopia. Her first of three throws was enough to put her in medal contention, but she was out thrown in the end by her Canadian competitor. Still, an Olympic Silver Medal is quite the achievement. Welcome to the USA, Annette.
