Shot by Monte Fresco, this image freezes a moment that will be etched forever in our collective memory. On August 1st, 1980, inside Moscow's iconic Central Lenin Stadium (now known as Luzhniki Stadium), Coe faced stiff competition from fellow Brit Steve Ovett and East German Jürgen Straub. But it was the British athlete who emerged victorious with a time of 3:38.4 - an impressive feat that would go down in history. This photograph is more than just a snapshot of a sporting event; it's a testament to human perseverance, dedication, and excellence on the world stage. It serves as a reminder that even amidst great competition, there are moments when greatness shines through.".
