This print captures the intensity of the Women's 100m Semi-Finals Heat Two at the 1980 Moscow Olympics. In this historic moment, five remarkable athletes from different nations stood side by side, ready to showcase their speed and determination on the grand stage of the Central Lenin Stadium in Moscow. From left to right, we see Lyudmila Kondratyeva representing the USSR, Sofka Popova from Bulgaria, Chantal Rega proudly representing France, Sonia Lannaman carrying Great Britain's hopes, and Nataliya Bochina also hailing from the USSR. These fierce competitors exude confidence as they prepare for what will be an unforgettable race. As fate would have it, it was Kondratyeva who emerged victorious in this particular heat. Little did anyone know at that moment that she would go on to claim gold in this prestigious event. This photograph immortalizes her triumph and serves as a testament to her exceptional athletic prowess. Captured by Colorsport photographer Stewart Fraser with his keen eye for detail and passion for sports photography, this image not only freezes a significant sporting moment but also showcases the power of unity among nations through sport. It is a reminder that even amidst political tensions during those times, athletes could come together on one platform to compete fairly while inspiring millions around the world with their incredible talent and dedication.
