Joao Carlos de Oliveira - 1980 Moscow Olympics - Triple Jump
Athletics - 1980 Moscow Olympics - Mens Triple Jump Final
Brazils Joao Carlos de Oliveira, who won the bronze medal, at the Grand Arena of the Central Lenin Stadium, Moscow, USSR.
This triple jump final was highly controversial, with apparent blatant cheating by the Russian officials resulting in a 1-2 for home athletes Jaak Uudmae (gold) and Viktor Saneyev (silver). The two favourites, Australias Ian Campbell and Brazilian world record holder Joao Carlos de Oliveira, had nine of their twelve jumps in the final called as fouls. One of Campbells efforts would have broken the Olympic world record and won the competition, but was adjudged a foul because he he dragged his foot on the step phase - this is almost impossible to do at that speed, and was not evident in the television replays. de Oliveira had to settle for the bronze, while Campbell finished fifth

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense moment of Joao Carlos de Oliveira competing in the triple jump final at the 1980 Moscow Olympics. Despite his incredible talent and being the world record holder, de Oliveira was robbed of a fair chance to claim victory due to controversial judging by Russian officials. The image showcases de Oliveira's determination as he leaps through the air, defying gravity with grace and power. The atmosphere surrounding this event was clouded with accusations of cheating and unfairness. The Russian officials seemed determined to secure a home victory, resulting in gold for Jaak Uudmae and silver for Viktor Saneyev, both from Russia. Meanwhile, two favorites - Australia's Ian Campbell and Brazil's own Joao Carlos de Oliveira - had their jumps called as fouls multiple times during the competition. One particularly heartbreaking moment occurred when Campbell executed an extraordinary jump that would have shattered Olympic records and secured him first place. However, it was unjustly deemed a foul due to an alleged foot drag during the step phase – something nearly impossible at such high speeds. Ultimately, de Oliveira had no choice but to settle for bronze while Campbell finished fifth. This photograph serves as a reminder of not only their remarkable athletic abilities but also highlights the controversies that can mar even prestigious sporting events like the Olympics.
