100m Amsterdam Final Grinning Metre Olympics Robinson Running Track Triumph Wins 1928
EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the triumphant moment when American athlete, Betty Robinson, crosses the finish line to win the gold medal in the Women's 100-meter final at the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics. With a beaming smile on her face and arms raised in victory, Robinson's achievement marked a significant milestone in the history of women's athletics. The 1928 Olympics was the first time women's track and field events were included in the Games, and Robinson's victory in the 100-meter final was a testament to the growing recognition of women's athletic abilities. The race took place on August 4, 1928, at the Olympic Stadium in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Robinson's time of 11.9 seconds was a new world record, and her victory was celebrated not only for her athletic prowess but also for her determination and grit. Robinson's success in the 1928 Olympics was just the beginning of her impressive athletic career. She went on to win a silver medal in the 100-meter relay at the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics and set numerous world records in the 60-meter and 100-yard dashes. Her accomplishments paved the way for future generations of female athletes and helped to establish women's track and field as a respected and prominent sport. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history of women's athletics and the groundbreaking achievements of athletes like Betty Robinson. It captures the excitement and joy of victory, as well as the determination and perseverance required to reach the pinnacle of athletic competition.
