EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of joy and pride as Dutch athletic legend Fanny Blankers-Koen, the "Flying Housewife," is reunited with her young daughter after her historic performance at the 1948 London Olympics. Blankers-Koen, dressed in her national colors, beams with happiness as she holds her child close, having just made history as the first woman ever to win three Olympic gold medals in a single Games. Her victories in the 100 and 200 meters races, as well as the 80 meters hurdles, and her role as the anchor leg runner on the Dutch 4x100 meters relay team, had earned her the adoration of her country and the world. The image beautifully encapsulates the spirit of triumph, motherhood, and national pride, making it a cherished keepsake from the XIVth Olympiad.
