EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the thrilling start of the Men's 100-meter race at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam. The image showcases the intense focus and determination of the athletes as they prepare to compete for the coveted gold medal. In the foreground, Percy Williams of Canada, wearing the red and white striped singlet, is poised at the starting line with a focused expression and a powerful stance. To his right, Jack London of Great Britain, clad in a green and white singlet, leans forward with a determined look in his eyes. To London's right, Georg Lammers of Germany, wearing a white singlet, also prepares for the race. The starting gun is about to fire, signaling the beginning of the competition. This historic moment took place on August 31, 1928, and marked the beginning of an exciting day of athletic competition at the Olympics. Percy Williams went on to win the gold medal in a time of 10.6 seconds, with Jack London finishing in second place at 10.7 seconds, and Georg Lammers earning the bronze medal at 10.8 seconds. The race was a significant moment in Olympic history, as it marked the first time that an Olympic gold medal was won by a Canadian athlete in the sport of athletics. This photograph is a testament to the athleticism, determination, and sportsmanship displayed by the competitors at the 1928 Olympics.
