EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 1988 Seoul Olympics, we witness a moment of intense emotion and determination. Great Britain's Alex Kruger finds himself in the midst of the high jump event at the Olympic Stadium in Seoul Sports Complex, South Korea. As he leaps over the bar with all his might, his hands instinctively clutch his head, revealing a mix of frustration and concentration. Kruger's facial expression tells a story of an athlete pushing himself to new limits while battling inner demons. The weight of expectations and pressure is palpable as he strives for excellence in one of track and field's most demanding disciplines – decathlon. Despite his valiant efforts, Kruger ultimately finishes in 24th place overall. However, this photograph immortalizes a pivotal moment that encapsulates the essence of sportsmanship – resilience in the face of adversity. The Colorsport image captured by Andrew Cowie perfectly freezes this fleeting instant where time seems to stand still. It serves as a reminder that even amidst defeat, athletes like Kruger leave an indelible mark on history through their unwavering dedication and passion for their craft. This powerful visual narrative transports us back to those historic games held three decades ago when dreams were shattered or realized within seconds. It invites us to reflect on our own personal journeys and reminds us that success is not solely measured by medals but also by moments etched forever in our hearts.
