EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 1980 Moscow Olympics, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment in athletics history. The image captures the intense energy and determination of Ethiopia's Miruts Yifter as he takes the lead during the Men's 10,000m race at the Grand Arena in Central Lenin Stadium Area, Moscow, USSR. With his eyes fixed on victory, Yifter showcases his exceptional athleticism and unwavering focus. As one of Ethiopia's greatest long-distance runners, he not only dominated this round but also went on to claim gold in the final event. This triumph was just a glimpse into Yifter's remarkable journey at these Olympics as he later secured another gold medal in the 5000m race. The photograph beautifully encapsulates both Yifter's physical prowess and mental fortitude. Every muscle seems perfectly poised for action while sweat glistens on his determined face. The grandeur of the stadium surrounding him serves as a testament to human achievement and international camaraderie that define Olympic Games. This Colorsport Images print by Stewart Fraser allows us to relive this iconic sporting moment and pay homage to an athlete who left an indelible mark on Ethiopian sports history. It is a visual reminder of how dedication, perseverance, and sheer talent can propel individuals towards greatness even amidst fierce competition.
