EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the thrilling 800 metres Olympic final at the Grand Arena of the Central Lenin Stadium during the Moscow Olympics on July 27th, 1980. The image captures two legendary athletes, Sebastion Coe and Steve Ovett, positioned at the back of the field, ready to unleash their incredible talent. As we delve into this historic moment in sports history, it is fascinating to note that both Coe and Ovett would eventually become winners in their own right. Steve Ovett from Great Britain claimed the gold medal with a remarkable time of 1:45.4, showcasing his exceptional speed and endurance. Close behind him was his compatriot Sebastion Coe who secured the silver medal with a time of 1:45.9, proving himself as an extraordinary athlete. The bronze medal went to Nikolay Kirov from USSR (now Russia) who displayed great skill and determination with a timing of 1:46.0. This race not only showcased these three remarkable individuals but also highlighted their countries' prowess in middle-distance running. Gavin Kent's expertly captured photograph transports us back to this electrifying event where dreams were realized and records were broken. It serves as a timeless reminder of these iconic athletes' achievements and ignites our passion for athletics even decades later.
