EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Colorsport Images, we are transported back to the thrilling atmosphere of the 1988 Seoul Olympics. The image captures the iconic moment when Great Britain's legendary athlete, Daley Thompson, prepares himself in the starting blocks for the intense 400m race at the Seoul Olympic Stadium in South Korea. Thompson's focused expression and poised stance reveal his determination and unwavering commitment to excel in one of track and field's most grueling events – the Decathlon. As a two-time Olympic gold medalist and world record holder, Thompson was renowned for his exceptional athleticism and versatility across ten different disciplines. The vibrant colors of this photograph bring an added sense of energy to the scene, as if we can almost hear the roar of spectators filling every corner of that grand stadium. It is a testament not only to Thompson's remarkable physical prowess but also to his ability to captivate audiences with his sheer presence on such a prestigious stage. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of those extraordinary moments that define sporting history. This image encapsulates both Thompson's personal journey towards greatness and our collective admiration for athletes who push their limits beyond what seems humanly possible. Colorsport photographer Andrew Cowie has masterfully captured an indelible moment from one man’s quest for athletic immortality – forever preserving it within this stunning visual narrative.
