EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense moment of the Men's 100m Backstroke Final at the 1972 Munich Olympics. East Germany's Roland Matthes is seen gliding through the water with remarkable speed and precision, on his way to securing a gold medal and setting a new Olympic record. The Swimming Hall in Olympic Park, Munich, provides a fitting backdrop for this historic achievement. Matthes' triumph in Munich was not an isolated feat but rather a continuation of his dominance in backstroke events. Having already clinched gold medals in both the 100m and 200m backstroke at the previous Olympics held in Mexico City in 1968, he successfully defended these titles four years later. His exceptional talent propelled him to further success as he also contributed to his team's silver medal win in the 4x100m Medley Relay and secured bronze in the fiercely contested 4x100m Freestyle Relay. This photograph by Colorsport Images perfectly encapsulates Matthes' prowess as he effortlessly cuts through the water with unparalleled skill and determination. It serves as a timeless reminder of one athlete's extraordinary achievements during an iconic sporting event that united nations from around the world.
