EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Colorsport Images, we witness the remarkable moment when Frank Shorter became the 1972 Olympic Marathon Champion. The image showcases Shorter's determination and sheer athleticism as he runs into the iconic Olympiastadion in Munich, West Germany. However, what makes this particular scene even more intriguing is the presence of a West German student named Norbert Sudhaus. Just moments before Shorter's arrival, Sudhaus cleverly entered the stadium, fooling both officials and spectators alike. As he crossed the finish line first, cheers erupted from the crowd who believed they were witnessing an unexpected victory. Yet it was only a fleeting illusion. As our eyes shift to Shorter in this photograph, we can almost feel his unwavering focus and resilience as he charges towards his ultimate triumph. Undeterred by Sudhaus' brief deception, Shorter remains undeterred in his pursuit of gold. This snapshot not only captures an incredible sporting achievement but also highlights the unpredictable nature of competition and human spirit. It serves as a reminder that success often requires perseverance amidst unforeseen challenges. Colorsport has expertly preserved this historic moment for us to admire decades later – a testament to their commitment to preserving sports history through powerful imagery.
