EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 1972 Munich Olympics, the intensity of the men's 100m semi-finals heat one is palpable. Valeriy Borzov, representing the USSR, leads the race with sheer determination and speed. Just behind him, Jobst Hirscht of West Germany strains every muscle to keep up with his formidable opponent. The Olympiastadion in Munich serves as a grand backdrop for this thrilling moment in athletics history. The stadium witnesses these extraordinary athletes pushing their limits on its hallowed grounds. Alongside Borzov and Hirscht are other notable sprinters: Michael Fray from Jamaica, Hasely Crawford from Trinidad and Tobago, and Alain Sarteur from France. These exceptional runners have earned their place in the final race through their impressive performances in this semi-final heat. Borzov's victory here foreshadows his future success as he goes on to win gold not only in the 100m but also in his favored event, the 200m three days later. His achievement marks a significant milestone as he becomes the first non-American since 1928 to complete the prestigious sprint double. This iconic photograph by Colorsport Images captures a pivotal moment that showcases both individual excellence and international sporting camaraderie at its finest.
