EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Colorsport Images, we are transported back to the thrilling atmosphere of the Rome World Championships in 1987. The image captures a pivotal moment during the Men's 100m final, showcasing two legendary sprinters locked in an intense battle for glory. On one side, dressed in vibrant red attire representing Canada, stands Ben Johnson. Known for his explosive speed and powerful stride, Johnson exudes determination as he propels himself forward with unwavering focus. His muscular physique and fierce gaze reveal his relentless pursuit of victory. Opposite him is Carl Lewis, draped in blue representing the United States. A formidable force on the track, Lewis embodies grace and precision as he matches Johnson stride for stride. With every sinewy muscle engaged and eyes fixed firmly on the finish line, Lewis showcases his exceptional athleticism that would later earn him multiple Olympic gold medals. The tension between these two athletic titans is palpable through this expertly captured moment frozen in time by Colorsport Images. Both men push their bodies to their limits as they strive to etch their names into history books and claim ultimate supremacy over this coveted event. This iconic photograph not only encapsulates a historic sporting rivalry but also serves as a testament to human resilience and ambition. It reminds us of those fleeting moments when athletes transcend mere mortals and become legends forever imprinted upon our collective memory.
