This print captures a historic moment in the world of athletics - the thrilling 100m final at the 1982 Brisbane Commonwealth Games. The image showcases three remarkable athletes, each representing their respective nations with pride and determination. In the foreground, we see Scotland's Allan Wells, dressed in vibrant blue attire, sprinting towards victory with sheer intensity etched on his face. To his left stands Canada's Ben Johnson, a formidable competitor who would later become one of track and field's most controversial figures. On the far side of the frame is another Scottish athlete, Cameron Sharp, also clad in striking blue. The backdrop for this exhilarating race is none other than Queensland's iconic QEII Stadium. Packed with enthusiastic spectators from around the globe, this venue witnessed an extraordinary display of speed and athleticism that day. Ultimately, it was Allan Wells who emerged triumphant from this fiercely contested battle. With lightning-fast strides and unwavering focus, he crossed the finish line first to claim gold for Scotland. Ben Johnson secured second place while Cameron Sharp proudly took home third. This Colorsport Images photograph by Andrew Cowie not only freezes a pivotal moment in sporting history but also encapsulates the spirit of competition and camaraderie that defines events like these Commonwealth Games.
