Olympics in Art Form

Madeleine has been so inspired by the Olympics that she started drawing pictures of her favorite events. 

Here's her depiction of a swimming final:

Who is this swimmer with the superhuman sized arm, about to break the World Record?  Why, it's Katie Ledecky, of course, but I'm sure you were able to tell simply by looking at this drawing. 

Madeleine explains a bit more of the goings-on that we can't see in this picture, because Katie Ledecky is just TOO DARN FAR AHEAD of the other swimmers for them to even appear in the frame:





Another picture Madeleine drew is of the men's gymnastics high bar routine:





WOWSERS!  Who is this man who is so ginormous that he PRACTICALLY TOUCHES THE GROUND WHILE HANGING FROM THE HIGH BAR???  From what I remember, male gymnasts are usually pretty short.  This one is a Goliath!  I can't wait to find out who this superstar is!

Uh...turns out, Madeleine isn't so sure who he is either:




Man, would I like to be in that crowd of pastel-haired audience members watching this gargantuan gymnast execute his high bar routine.  That would be a once in a lifetime opportunity, for sure.  I guess seeing the picture is the next best thing, so I appreciate Madeleine's artistic depiction!
