EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print captured by Colorsport Images, we witness a moment frozen in time during the 1984 Olympics. The image showcases two legendary British athletes, Sebastien Coe and Steve Ovett, as they compete in the Men's 800m Final at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The intensity of their rivalry is palpable as they push themselves to their physical limits on that fateful day. However, fate had different plans for Ovett, who unfortunately suffered from respiratory problems that led him to finish last in the race. Despite his struggles, Ovett's determination and resilience shine through in this photograph. On the other hand, Coe emerges as a symbol of unwavering strength and skill. He would go on to claim the silver medal for Great Britain with an impressive performance that showcased his exceptional talent and competitive spirit. This snapshot encapsulates not only a significant sporting event but also represents perseverance amidst adversity. It serves as a reminder that even in defeat, athletes like Ovett can inspire us with their courage and tenacity. Colorsport photographer Andrew Cowie expertly captures this historic moment with precision and artistry. Through his lens, he immortalizes these two remarkable individuals who left an indelible mark on Olympic history.
