EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the historic 1936 Berlin Olympic Games, capturing a moment of intense competition in the final boxing round between Runge from Germany and Lowel from Argentina. The photograph was taken at the iconic Olympiastadion, which stands as a testament to both German architecture and sporting excellence. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness two skilled boxers locked in combat within the squared circle. Their muscular frames are clothed in traditional boxing attire, exuding strength and determination. The boxer from Germany proudly represents his nation with his name emblazoned across his shorts, while his Argentinean opponent displays equal pride for his homeland. The scene is filled with anticipation as spectators eagerly watch these athletes showcase their prowess inside the ring. Their eyes fixed on every move made by Runge and Lowel, they become part of this collective experience that transcends language barriers or political differences. It is impossible to ignore the historical context surrounding this image. The year 1936 marked a tumultuous period for Germany under Nazi rule. As Adolf Hitler sought to use these Olympics as propaganda tools for promoting Aryan supremacy, athletes like Runge and Lowel became symbols of resistance against such ideologies through their athletic achievements. This photograph serves not only as a reminder of an exhilarating sports event but also as a window into our shared human history. It encapsulates moments that transcend borders – where individuals come together through sport despite differing backgrounds or beliefs. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by an unidentified author from Alinari, we are reminded of how photography can preserve memories and communicate stories that resonate across generations.
