EDITORS COMMENTS
"This poignant image captures the moment of compassion and camaraderie at the 1948 London Olympics as a young Scout from Liechtenstein collapses from heat exhaustion while holding the nationality sign during the athletics event at Wembley Stadium. The Olympics, held in the summer of 1948, marked the revival of the Games after a 12-year hiatus due to World War II. The Scout, dressed in his uniform, is surrounded by concerned spectators and fellow athletes who rush to his aid. The scene embodies the spirit of sportsmanship, unity, and resilience that defines the Olympic Games. The Scout Association, an international youth organization, played a significant role in the Olympics as volunteers and supporters. This photograph, taken at the iconic Wembley Stadium, is a testament to the enduring values of the Olympic Movement and the unwavering dedication of its participants."
