EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Swiss four-man bobsleigh team during the Winter Olympic Games in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, in 1936. The team consisting of Reto Capradut, Hans Aichele, Fritz Feierabend, and Hans Butikofer proudly pose for this group portrait as silver medallists in their event. Their cheerful expressions reflect the camaraderie and teamwork that propelled them to success. Dressed in their sleek uniforms and donning helmets, these athletes epitomize the spirit of competition and dedication to their sport. Despite finishing behind another Swiss sled driven by Pierre Musy, they stand tall with pride as representatives of Switzerland on an international stage. The snowy backdrop serves as a reminder of the challenging weather conditions these winter sports enthusiasts faced throughout their training and competitions. This image not only showcases the skill and athleticism required for bobsleigh but also highlights the beauty of Bavaria's landscape where these Olympics were held. Preserved through time by The Print Collector from Olympia 1936: Die Olympischen Spiele 1936 Volume I published by Cigaretten-Bilderdienst Hamburg in 1936, this historical photograph allows us to glimpse into a moment frozen forever within history. It immortalizes these remarkable athletes who left an indelible mark on Swiss sporting achievements during one of Europe's most significant sporting events of that era.
