EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment when Gaston Rieff of Belgium set the new 5000-metre record at the 1948 Olympics. The image, taken during the men's 5000-metre final on August 10, 1948, at the Wembley Stadium in London, shows Rieff in the final stages of the race, his powerful muscles straining as he pushes himself towards the finish line. The maroon tracksuit and shorts he wears are a stark contrast to the lush green of the infield, and the sea of spectators in the grandstands behind him add to the sense of excitement and anticipation. The 1948 Olympics, also known as the "Austerity Games," were held in the aftermath of World War II and marked the first time the event was held outside of Europe. Despite the challenges of post-war reconstruction, the games were a symbol of hope and resilience, and the athletic achievements of competitors like Rieff were a testament to the human spirit. Rieff's record-breaking performance in the 5000-metre final was a significant moment in Olympic history. He finished the race in 14 minutes and 49.6 seconds, shaving over 16 seconds off the previous record set by Sweden's Gunnar Hökmark in 1936. Rieff's victory was a source of great pride for Belgium, and his achievement remains an enduring symbol of the country's rich athletic heritage.
