EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic photograph captures the moment of triumph for Alvin Edelman, an American athlete, as he soars over the bar during the High Jump event at the 1948 London Olympics. The XIVth Olympiad, held from July 29 to August 14, 1948, marked the revival of the Olympic Games after a 12-year hiatus due to World War II. Edelman, dressed in his red, white, and blue tracksuit, is seen in mid-air, his muscles tensed and body arched, as he clears the bar at a height of 6 feet 1 5/8 inches. The background is filled with a sea of spectators, their faces etched with excitement and anticipation. This image encapsulates the spirit of the Olympics, showcasing the raw power, determination, and grace of an athlete in the heat of competition. Edelman's achievement at the London Olympics was a significant one, as he finished in third place, earning a bronze medal for the United States. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of sports to inspire and unite people, and serves as a reminder of the rich history of the Olympic Games.
