EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic photograph captures the thrilling moment of the 100 metres final at the 1948 London Olympics, an event that showcased the pinnacle of athletic competition. The image features six of the world's finest sprinters, each giving their all to cross the finish line first. From left to right, we see E. Macdonald Bailey of Trinidad and Tobago (no. 35) crossing the line last, followed by Australian athlete John McCorquodale (no. 36) in fourth place. In third position, we find Lloyd LaBeach of Panama (no. 36) with a determined look on his face. The second-place finisher is Norwood Ewell of the United States (no. 70), who narrowly missed out on the gold medal. But it is the man in the middle, Harrison Dillard of the United States (no. 69), who stole the show. With a time of 10.3 seconds, Dillard edged out Ewell by a mere inch to claim the gold medal, making him the first African American to win an Olympic gold medal in track and field. This photograph encapsulates the intense competition and excitement of the 1948 Olympics, a moment in history that continues to inspire and captivate sports fans around the world.
