EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment from the 1972 Munich Olympics - the Men's 5000m Final. The Olympiastadion in Munich, West Germany serves as the backdrop for this intense race, where athletes from various nations competed for glory. From right to left, we see three remarkable runners etching their names into Olympic history. Great Britain's Ian McCafferty (#300) and Ian Stewart (#309) stride alongside each other with determination etched on their faces. Their focus is palpable as they push themselves to reach new heights of athletic excellence. In the middle of this powerful trio stands Steve Prefontaine (#1005), representing the United States. Known for his fearless approach and unwavering spirit, Prefontaine captivates spectators with his raw talent and relentless drive. On the far left is another British athlete, Dave Bedford, adding depth to this iconic image of sporting prowess. Together, these four men showcase not only their individual strength but also exemplify international camaraderie amidst fierce competition. While Stewart ultimately claimed the bronze medal in this grueling event, Prefontaine narrowly missed out on a podium finish by securing fourth place. McCafferty crossed the line in eleventh position while Bedford finished twelfth – all leaving an indelible mark on Olympic folklore. Preserved through time by Colorsport Images' photographer Stewart Fraser, this print immortalizes a moment that embodies dedication, perseverance, and sportsmanship at its finest.
