EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intense focus and determination during the Ski Jumping event at the 1972 Sapporo Winter Olympics. The image showcases East Germany's Rainer Schmidt, who finished in fifteenth place on the challenging Miyanomori Jump Hill in Japan. Despite not achieving a top placement in this particular competition, Schmidt's talent and dedication would soon shine through as he went on to win the bronze medal in the 90m (large) hill event. The photograph beautifully encapsulates the essence of Olympic sportsmanship, with Schmidt poised mid-air, his body perfectly aligned as he soars above the snowy landscape. His eyes are fixed ahead, unwaveringly focused on his goal - to achieve greatness on these world-renowned slopes. Taken by Colorsport photographer Stewart Fraser during the eleventh edition of the Winter Games, this image is a testament to both athletic prowess and artistic skill. It serves as a reminder that behind every athlete lies countless hours of training and sacrifice, all culminating in one fleeting moment that can define their entire career. As we admire this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, let us celebrate not only Rainer Schmidt's individual journey but also pay homage to all those who have participated and triumphed over adversity at such prestigious sporting events like the Olympics.
