twoeleventhe floor exercise was the first olympic event we saw. i'd never tried sports photography before, i was using a relatively new camera, and i wanted to actually watch the competition. so, i don't have many pictures from it.
i got lucky: this frame shows a couple of olympic gold medalists: artem dolgopyat (israel), who was at the time the defending champion, practicing, while carlos edriel yulo (philippines), who would dethrone him a few minutes later, watches. dolgopyat finished in second by 0.033 points.
dolgopyat does a backflip in competition:
i eventually learned to lean on the auto-shutter before the interesting things start; that's why i still have a semi-infinite number of exposures of the women's vault to finish working up.
milad karimi (kazakhstan) had too much fun competing:
carlos yulo apparently credits his victory to divine help:
the other interesting thing about the photo is that the guy who presented the medals (in the black suit) is the grand duke of luxembourg.
