EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in the world of swimming. The image features two legendary athletes, Boy Charlton of Australia and Arne Borg of Sweden, taken in 1928. Both men were exceptional swimmers who left an indelible mark on the sport. Boy Charlton, born in 1907 and passed away in 1975, set an impressive five world records during his career and won three silver medals along with one bronze medal. Arne Borg, born in 1901 and died in 1987, broke an astonishing 32 world records and secured five Olympic medals. The photograph specifically commemorates their achievements at the 1928 Summer Olympics held in Amsterdam. Arne Borg emerged as the gold medallist for the grueling 1500m freestyle event while Boy Charlton earned a well-deserved silver medal for his remarkable performance. Additionally, Charlton also clinched another silver medal for his outstanding performance in the 400m freestyle event.
