EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time during a sports meeting held on 1 May 1963 in Chichester. The image showcases the strength, determination, and grace of a young girl as she prepares to throw the discus with all her might. The atmosphere is electric, with spectators eagerly watching from the sidelines, their faces filled with anticipation and excitement. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates the spirit of school sports in the 1960s, where athleticism was celebrated and students pushed themselves to achieve greatness. The field sport of discus throwing requires immense skill and technique, which is evident in this photograph. The girl's focused expression reveals her dedication to mastering this challenging discipline. As she stands poised at the edge of the throwing circle, one can almost feel the tension building up before she releases her grip on that heavy metal disc. This image is part of the renowned Chichester Photographic Collection housed at West Sussex Record Office. It serves as a testament to both local history and sporting excellence within West Sussex County Council's archives
