Ian Campbell - 1980 Moscow Olympics - Triple Jump
Athletics - 1980 Moscow Olympics - Mens Triple Jump Final
Australias Ian Campbell at the Grand Arena of the Central Lenin Stadium, Moscow, USSR.
This triple jump final was highly controversial, with apparent blatant cheating by the Russian officials resulting in a 1-2 for home athletes Jaak Uudmae (gold) and Viktor Saneyev (silver). The two favourites, Australias Ian Campbell and Brazilian world record holder Joao Carlos de Oliveira, had nine of their twelve jumps in the final called as fouls. One of Campbells efforts would have broken the Olympic world record and won the competition, but was adjudged a foul because he he dragged his foot on the step phase - this is almost impossible to do at that speed, and was not evident in the television replays. de Oliveira had to settle for the bronze, while Campbell finished fifth

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intensity and controversy surrounding Ian Campbell's performance at the 1980 Moscow Olympics. The image showcases Campbell, an Australian athlete, competing in the triple jump final at the Grand Arena of the Central Lenin Stadium in Moscow, USSR. The event was marred by allegations of blatant cheating by Russian officials, resulting in a controversial 1-2 finish for home athletes Jaak Uudmae (gold) and Viktor Saneyev (silver). Both Campbell and Brazilian world record holder Joao Carlos de Oliveira faced immense challenges as nine out of their twelve jumps were called as fouls. Campbell's remarkable effort during one of his jumps would have shattered the Olympic world record and secured him victory. However, it was unjustly deemed a foul due to his foot dragging on the step phase – an action nearly impossible to execute at such incredible speed. Television replays failed to provide evidence supporting this decision. Ultimately, de Oliveira settled for bronze while Campbell finished fifth in this highly contentious competition. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of not only Campbell's exceptional talent but also highlights the controversies that can plague sporting events when fair judgment is compromised.
