The man responsible – Dan Hicks, NBC Sportscaster

Artist Statement:
During the Rio Summer Olympics, a female swimmer, Katinka Hosszu, shattered the world record in the 400m individual medley and earned herself a gold medal. The NBC footage panned to her husband/coach and the broadcaster said “...and there’s the man responsible.” The woman was responsible for winning the race and her husband/coach was given all credit. I hand wrote the words “the man responsible” and with red lipstick wrote a “WO” over it. Now it reads “the woman responsible” giving credit back to Katinka and her superior athleticism.
