EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the new adjustable starting blocks, developed by the ingenious Mr. H. Rottenburg, used during the historic 1948 Olympic Games in London. The image, taken on July 7, 1948, captures the essence of anticipation and determination as athletes prepare for their races. The introduction of these innovative starting blocks, made of lightweight aluminium, marked a significant advancement in track and field events. The previous starting blocks were made of wood and were not easily adjustable, making it challenging for athletes to achieve the perfect starting position. Mr. Rottenburg's new design allowed for precise adjustments, ensuring that each athlete had an equal and fair start. The sleek and modern appearance of the blocks also added to the overall excitement and professionalism of the Olympic Games. The import of these adjustable starting blocks from Germany was a testament to the international spirit of the Olympics and the collaboration between countries to advance sports technology. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history of the Olympic Games and the continuous innovation that drives the world of athletics.
