EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary middle distance runner, J E Lovelock, in action during the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. Lovelock achieved his crowning ambition by winning the 1,500 meters race for New Zealand in a world record time of 3 minutes and 47.8 seconds. A true sporting hero, he also held the world mile record and won the historic "Mile of the Century" at Princeton University in 1935 against top American competitors.
Lovelock's athletic prowess is evident as he races across the track with determination and grace. His dedication to his sport is clear from his focused expression and powerful stride captured in this momentous photograph.
As an Oxford University AC President in 1934, Lovelock was not only a champion on the track but also a respected leader within his athletic community. After retiring from competitive running, he continued to inspire others through his studies at St Mary's Hospital.
This image serves as a timeless reminder of Lovelock's incredible achievements and enduring legacy in the world of sports. It showcases not only his physical strength but also his unwavering spirit that made him one of history's most celebrated athletes.
