Jaak Uudmae - 1980 Moscow Olympics - Triple Jump
Athletics - 1980 Moscow Olympics - Mens Triple Jump Final
The USSRs gold medal winner Jaak Uudmae 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 Uudmae and Viktor Saneyev. 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 Jaak Uudmae's triumphant victory at the 1980 Moscow Olympics. Standing tall on the podium, draped in gold, Uudmae symbolizes the pinnacle of athletic achievement. The Grand Arena of the Central Lenin Stadium serves as a backdrop, showcasing the grandeur and magnitude of this historic event. However, behind this seemingly perfect picture lies a tale of controversy and injustice. The triple jump final was marred by allegations of blatant cheating orchestrated by Russian officials. This resulted in an unfair advantage for Uudmae and his compatriot Viktor Saneyev, who claimed first and second place respectively. The favorites entering this competition were Australia's Ian Campbell and Brazilian world record holder Joao Carlos de Oliveira. Unfortunately for them, nine out of their twelve jumps were deemed fouls under questionable circumstances. One particular jump by Campbell would have shattered Olympic records and secured him victory had it not been unjustly disqualified due to a minor technicality captured only by judges' eyes. De Oliveira settled for bronze while Campbell finished fifth in what should have been their shining moments on that fateful day. This photograph immortalizes both triumph and controversy; it serves as a reminder that even within esteemed sporting events like the Olympics, fairness can sometimes be overshadowed by deceitful actions or biased judgments.
