In this photo print, we are transported back to the glamorous Sportswriters Association Annual Dinner held in London on December 11th, 1967. The image captures two remarkable women who have left an indelible mark on the world of sports. On the right stands Beryl Burton, a true force to be reckoned with. As one of Britain's greatest ever athletes, she is rightfully named Top Sportswoman of the Year at this prestigious event. A racing cyclist extraordinaire, Beryl dominated women's cycle racing in the UK like no other. With over 90 domestic championships and an impressive seven world titles under her belt, she was a true trailblazer for female athletes everywhere. Standing proudly beside Beryl is Ann Jones, a renowned tennis player whose talent matches her gracefulness. Together they represent strength and determination in their respective fields. Beryl's achievements were nothing short of extraordinary; not only did she break records but also shattered gender barriers along the way. Notably, she set a women's record for the grueling 12-hour time-trial that surpassed even men's records for two whole years. This iconic photograph by Eric Harlow serves as a timeless reminder of these exceptional women who defied expectations and paved the way for generations to come.
