EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print from the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, we witness a moment of pure triumph and national pride. Sebastian Coe, representing Great Britain, stands tall in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, holding the Union Jack flag high above his head. The intensity in his eyes reflects the immense dedication and determination that led him to this historic victory. Coe's remarkable achievement is etched into history as he not only won the gold medal but also set a new Olympic record in the process. This extraordinary feat solidified his status as one of the greatest middle-distance runners of all time. However, what makes this win even more significant is that Coe became the first man ever to successfully defend his title in the fiercely competitive 1500m event. The atmosphere captured within this photograph is electric; it encapsulates both Coe's personal triumph and a nation's collective joy. It serves as a reminder of how sports can unite people across borders and ignite an overwhelming sense of pride for one's country. Colorsport photographer Andrew Cowie expertly captures this historic moment with precision and artistry. Through his lens, we are transported back to that summer day in 1984 when Sebastian Coe made history on American soil during those unforgettable Games of the XXIII Olympiad held in sunny California.
