EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the thrilling moment when American runner William D. Billy Sherring (1878-1964) crosses the finish line to win the marathon race at the 1906 Athens Olympics. Sherring's victory came with an unexpected challenge in the final stretch, as Prince George of Greece, a member of the Greek royal family and a passionate runner himself, joined the race to help boost the morale of the struggling Greek crowd. The image shows Prince George, dressed in formal attire, running alongside Sherring, his determined expression reflecting the intense competition and excitement of the moment. The 1906 Summer Olympics, held in Athens, Greece, marked the revival of the ancient games that had taken place in Greece over 1,500 years prior. The marathon race, which commemorated the legendary run of the Greek soldier Pheidippides, drew a record number of participants from around the world. Sherring, an unknown runner at the time, surprised everyone with his impressive performance and became an instant sensation. This iconic photograph not only documents the triumph of an underdog athlete but also highlights the unique spirit of the Olympics, where competition and camaraderie come together in the pursuit of athletic excellence. The image has since become a symbol of the enduring legacy of the Olympic Games and the indomitable human spirit.
