EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment when Yukio Kasaya, a talented ski jumper from Japan, soared through the air at the 1972 Sapporo Winter Olympics. Standing proudly on top of the podium, wearing his gold medal with pride, Kasaya's jubilant expression reflects the immense joy and triumph he must have felt in that very moment. The photograph was taken at Miyanomori Jump Hill in Japan, where spectators witnessed an extraordinary feat achieved by their homegrown hero. Not only did Kasaya secure a gold medal for himself but also contributed to Japan's remarkable achievement of winning all three medals in ski jumping. This incredible clean-sweep had not been seen since Norway accomplished it back in 1948. Kasaya's victory holds even greater significance as it marked Japan's first-ever Winter Olympic gold medal. His accomplishment brought immense pride and honor to his nation while inspiring future generations of Japanese athletes to strive for greatness on international platforms. Preserved by Colorsport Images and captured by photographer Stewart Fraser during the XI Olympic Winter Games held on February 6th, 1972, this print serves as a timeless reminder of Yukio Kasaya's exceptional talent and unwavering determination that propelled him into sporting history.
