EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intensity and determination of the athletes competing in the Men's 10,000m Final at the 1980 Moscow Olympics. The image showcases a thrilling moment in sports history as it depicts the leading pack racing through the Grand Arena in Central Lenin Stadium Area, Moscow, USSR. From left to right, we see Finland's Kaarlo Maaninka, Ethiopia's Tolossa Kotu and Miruts Yifter, Finland's Lasse Viren, and Ethiopia's Mohamed Kedir battling for glory. Each athlete is pushing their limits to secure a place on that prestigious podium. In this race of endurance and stamina, it was Yifter who emerged victorious with an outstanding performance that earned him the gold medal. Maaninka displayed incredible strength to claim silver while Kedir showcased his talent by securing bronze. Unfortunately for Kotu and Viren, they narrowly missed out on medals but undoubtedly gave their all until the very end. The photograph not only immortalizes these remarkable athletes but also symbolizes unity through sport during a time when political tensions were high between nations. It serves as a reminder of how sports can transcend boundaries and bring people together from different corners of the world. This iconic image captured by Colorsport Images allows us to relive this historic moment where dedication met triumph on one fateful day at the 1980 Moscow Olympics.
